    No kodi update on Vix 4.0

    Unfortunately our brilliant Vix team decided not to include updated kodi in their Vix 4.0, which is a real disappointment.I can understand they probably didn't want to take extra responsibility of maintaining a third party app on their image? I am surprised how other developers are doing it for their concerning images & specially vix backup images?
    I am very happy with my Vix image but only wished if kodi had been updated to make full use of my box.
    I think way forward for people like myself will be to live with vix backup image for now........

    How did you reach the conclusion that a decison was made to not include it?

    Replacing and overwriting files is one thing. Installing files is another. Compiling/building files along with other files without having a clash with other files including dependencies is a different thing altogether.

    If people want kodi on there box then I can't see a problem with using vix backup image. I use my Mutant for what it is supposed to be used for , there are vast amounts of equipment to view kodi and I have a Firestick for that purpose .Don't let's get bogged down with stuff and expect mods and others to keep kodi up to date. I ain't having a go at people wanting kodi on there box but for the sake of a few quid I would rather my Mutant do what it was built for.
    Mutant HD2400 , 2 x DVB-S/S2, 2x DVB-T/T2/C ,OpenVix version 5.1.0028 , Simple Ten Eighty skin , and Tosh picons , remote Harmony 650, Amazon firestick

    If you want kodi you should go for a fire stick or android box I used to use kodi, tsmedia on Linux but can be hit of miss at times with the fire stick it works well, for me I didn't buy my receiver for kodi,

    I appreciate all the suggestions advising me to buy a stick or an android box etc, but you are missing the point.Will you advise me to buy an antena, a free view box as well as an enigma box because they all work a bit differently & I shouldn't expect all these functions to be combined in one box & should only use my box for satellite channels only? I don't think so? If my box is capable of running an updated kodi software which will save me from having an extra hardware then why not ?As it has been done by openSpa, openATV.
    I know some of you will be telling me to use them instead of vix but it is a matter of my choice.

    I think along the same lines, I have an et10k thinking I have the hardware to run kodi but there's just to much changing of images update ect to be stable 100% of the time so I bit the bullet and bought a fire stick just for kodi and I'm glad I did, it would be great to have all my media watching needs in one box and at time that's what iv had, but now that I'm using kodi more and more I want it to work when I want to watch stuff without messing around, hence the fire stick in fact if you want everything in one box buy a fire stick it has everything you need even sly

    Thats my point, there is no device out there that can fully do both. No Enigma 2 Kodi plugin is never going to fully work.

    I am not here to disrespect the hard work vix team has been putting into these images, I was simply trying to encourage them to consider it for any future updates of vix.I wish I had the skills like yours then I wouldn't be asking here anyway.Once again big thanks to all of you who contributed. I have got my answer & I won't be asking you again about it.

    Don't!!! Everyone knows the best way to run kodi with its full features is not in Android and yes that includes fire sticks, even the kodi devs are having right royal bust ups over kodi on android, android was never intended to be a media OS, the patches, workarounds and fudges and lack of basic features in the android api make it a total dog, run it in windows or Linux, at least refresh rate switching and bitstream audio work.
