Kodi Isengard 15.1 - now stable

[crazed 9.6]

Kodi Pre-15.1 testing is been in progress, as reported by kodi.tv August 2nd

'For those of you not on the various social media sites, we would just like to note that testing for 15.1 has already begun, as we’ve noted and already fixed a number of issues that popped up upon release of 15.0'
'Additionally, any Windows users who have already upgraded to Windows 10 are encouraged to try out the DX11 version of Kodi 15'

Kodi 15 had the audio stuttering issue on PVR Stalker and after running this latest build on several devices I can confirm that its fixed! Kudos to Kodi

I have a few boxes running Kodi 19.2

I'd like to see a change in how to move channels. On 14.2 you just clicked channel then move, put in a number and it was done. 15 you have to move it where you want. Just a thought.

The box seller is trying to prevent the automatic update to the real kodi release because of customizations, and that they have to keep the actual program name to xbmc, even though it's actually Kodi 14. (I have one of these boxes. Please do not discuss its features here, they can market them on there own elsewhere. :) )
