I've tried a number of addons and none of them would fully install. ....dependency problems...with the most resent
If anyone got any addons to work...make a list and post it here

I have tried Kodi 18.0 Lela version and it doesn't appear to be ready for prime time. I will wait for the reliable and stable version to be released with the hopes of it being more versatile and compatible with the addon apps that I use. Meanwhile 17.6 is working fine and you know what they say about things that aren't broke ............don't fix it or look for things that are broke or unreliable.

Just giving you and update on Kodi 18.0. It is in Alpha stage. "Not finalized". Bugs still there. Just remember that final release is what to load. But there some who want to experiment with it. (Nothing wrong to play with) Maybe 2 more stages to go, before a final release, then it still may have to be improved. I'm not pushing it, just an update. I Agree with you Deadwood Kodi 17.6 is working fine and has the final release done. Thanks andkaal:rolleyes:

As of yesterday Kodi 18.0 was updated to Alpha 2. Lots of changes. But remember, it still a work in progress. :(I "would not" use it until in Final released stage is finished. Not worth it unless it's in final release. Still use the 17.4 or Kodi 17.6. andkaal:o

I ran across this :

" How do I upgrade from v17 to v18?

Main page: Installing

ANDROID USERS: Don't uninstall an earlier version of Kodi/XBMC before installing the new version. Uninstalling first would remove all of your settings. Just install the new version and it will replace the older version and retain your settings.

In most cases you can just install Kodi v18 over Kodi v17. All your settings and library are saved and will continue to work in the new version. See Installing for specific install instructions.

Most basic (video, audio, etc) add-ons that worked in Kodi v17 should still work in v18.

If you have any issues (settings not being copied over, blank screens, etc) when updating from versions older than v14: remove the new version, install the older version of Kodi/XBMC from
http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/ , and then upgrade to the next version. In other words, if you have v14, first install v15 and run Kodi, Quit Kodi and then install v16 and run Kodi. Quit Kodi again and install v17, then run Kodi. Quit Kodi again and install v18, then run Kodi."...!

In case anyone is Interested in what to Load Kodi 18.0 on...!

what i was reading kodi 18 need firmware 17.1 or higher to work right is that true

[duhhud]

*** Recommendation ***
If you have no reason to upgrade KODI and/or you use Kodi as your main Entertainment access, do not upgrade Kodi with Kodi Nightly's, Beta's, Alpha's or Release Candidates. (unless you like to debug stuff!!!)

Always use the latest approved release for your Platform.

Aug 1, 2018, Kodi Leia Alpha 3 is now released. It still is "NOT" final release. Very little improvements. Not recommended for 3rd party apps. Still a work in progress. Just wait for the final release. andkaal:rolleyes:
