However, you should be making backups of your Kodi setup on a regular basis. This will install the new version on top of your current version and keep all settings. Make sure you click on 'Releases' (unless you are adventurous!)Īnd, in your case, click on the 'kodi-17.5.1' version, which is the latest release. You will be offered: 'Nightlies' 'Releases' 'Snapshots' 'Test-Builds' Then in the search box window, find the '-1.0.2' you just downloaded to your Downloads folder and click on it. (You can do this on your HiMedia box using Chrome but, as you seem reluctant to use Google products, you may have to download it on a computer and transfer it to the HiMedia box using a USB memory stick?)Ĭlick on 'Install from zip' in the 'Categories'Ĭlick on the Install Box icon, the first icon in the Main Menu This will download the file '-1.0.2.zip' to your Downloads folder on the SD card. You can simplify the process by using the 'Kodi Android Installer' app. If ii did not make myself clear enough, let me know i will try to explain again, as im new im not sure of the jargon you use here for technical questions. I hope someone has time to help me and my annoying newbie questions. The first thing to do is to download the Kodi 17.6 APK ARM file. Doing a clean install is also possible but all settings will be erased. Sorry if im sounding confused, i really am, i just want to update and make the 17 version look like the 16 kodi interface, i like the look of that, so how do i do that ? i have seen some You tube tutorials and the kodi 17 look is different to 16, i like the 16 look, can i make 17 look like 16 ? The Kodi support page recommends only updating from 16 Jarvis, and older installs to update to Jarvis first. I do not join Googleplay, as i dont want to join anything that needs google email online, is there any other way to install latest Kodi and how do i add this to my player and extract ? do i use USB and then extract on the player? what folder or section do i put this update on to extract the update, it is self extracting ? do i go to files, system etc ? If its not too much bother can someone send me the exact direct link( here) and what type of Kodi 17 version ( ie 32 bit or 64 bit ) i need for this player. I want to upgrage to the latest version but do not know how to update the kodi section of the media player. Anyhow, i purchased the Hi-Media Q5 pro and love it, but noticed it came with Kodi 16. Keep reading for details about what is changes in Kodi 16.1 and for a link on how you can download and. Kodi 16.1 Jarvis is officially available to download and update. Jarvis is the codename for version 16, just as Isengard was the codename for Kodi v15 and Helix was the codename for Kodi v14. Apologies for sounding dumb to the regular here, im new to tech, i still do not have smartphone, im bit of a luddite but im trying to get better. Kodi is the new name for XBMC media center. Im totally newbie and seek your expert advices /support.
