Kodi upgrade warning

Gia

There is an upgrade warning concerning HTTPS that has started to appear in qodi 16.1, essentially warning that if an upgrade to 17.1 is not implemented then services will not function anymore.
Is beelink going to update software to accommodate changes? Are we going to get qodi 17.1 it's?

clau

I successfully upgraded kodi from 16.1 to 17.1 via Google store.
Nothing special to do, only click on "update".

Gia

Yes, that would nice if kodi was in my installed apps. It's registered as installed in my all apps but not mine. So does that mean i have to uninstall and reinstall kodi, try and update play store or what? Beelink i really don't need the hassle of messing around.

Anyone know whether qodi 16.1 can be uninstalled and kodi 17.1 replace it. Will the home short cut continue to function.  

sylad

The answer is YES it will replace & qodi tab will open it.

you could also install SPMC from Google play store  but does not use qodi tab to open.

Another one is FTMC this does opoen with qodi tab.

Both woth with HTTPS

Why i can't update qodi 16.1 to kodi 17.1 grom google play?

Gia

Ok, i got it to update by joining beta programme on play store, then leaving and reinstalling Kofi 17.1. Now shows as an installed app on device and not in all section only. Note i lost all settings and need to do again. Maybe just uninstall and reinstall might work also. WiFi home screen short cut also works. Will advise if any problems encountered in set up.

the solution is desinstall and install? then the plugins and config is lost

Seems to be the case and yes the addons in kodi are lost unless some form of back up is available. Looks like it's all ok though. Indigo makes it reasoñably simply. Hope it does not affeçt future it's updates. Who am I kidding?
