Stremio OS is now available for Raspberry Pi 4 and 5. This lightweight operating system is designed to run the Stremio media center application, which aggregates streaming content from various services into a user-friendly interface.

Unlike Kodi, none of Stremio's addons are installed on your computer so there's no danger of introducing rogue code (Stremio itself is open source). It will recommend content that you might be interested in and tell you if it’s free and where you can find it. It can play HTTP links, as well as magnet links and torrent files (drag and drop).

It’s been three months since the Kodi Foundation released Kodi 21 ‘Omega’, the long-awaited latest version of its hugely popular home theater software.

As you would expect, the team took a well-deserved break following the program's release, but work is once more underway on the next incarnation, Kodi 22. Each version of the software has traditionally been given an alphabetical codename with a sci-fi theme -- "Leia," "Matrix," "Nexus," and "Omega."

LibreELEC, the popular open-source Linux-based operating system for Kodi, has officially released its 12.0 version, incorporating the new Kodi (Omega) v21.0. This is a huge update, particularly in upgrading device support and improving overall performance.

One of the major shifts with LibreELEC 12.0 is the move to a 64-bit architecture for several devices, including the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5. This change means users upgrading from LibreELEC 11 will need to reinstall Widevine DRM to continue using copy-protected video add-ons such as Prime Video and Netflix. Notably, systems running versions older than LibreELEC 10 will require a clean install due to significant updates in Python 3 since Kodi v19.

Team Kodi, which has long provided Personal Package Archives (PPA) for Ubuntu users seeking up-to-date and undiluted versions of the hugely popular Kodi media player, has announced the retirement of the service. This decision was apparently made due to the high maintenance overhead associated with its upkeep.

As the Linux world gradually transitions towards packaged deployments and containers, The Kodi Foundation says it is planning to use Flatpak for future applications. This move will not only provide a more maintainable "pure" Kodi application, but also extend its accessibility to more distributions than the PPA ever could.
