Introducing the new Kodi 22 Piers Alpha2. This future Alpha build may be unstable and is recommended for testing purposes only.
As we can see if we install the Kodi v22 Piers version, the aesthetic changes are few and it seems a fairly continuous version in general. In any case we have versions available for Windows in 32 and 64bit compilations in addition to the compilations for Android in ARM V7A format of greater compatibility and ARM V8A for Shield TV or similar. In the following months this version will evolve and we will inform you about its new features.
