Kodi 16.0 “Jarvis” Candidate 1 發布

Kodi (曾用名 XBMC)的全稱是XBOX Media Center，顧名思義他就是XBOX平臺的媒體中心。對于XBOX玩家來說如果沒有安裝XBMC，那么玩XBOX至少缺了一半的樂趣，甚至毫不夸張的說，XBMC才是很多玩家購買XBOX的真正目的。

Kodi 16.0 “Jarvis” 候選版本1發布，此版本更新內容如下：

    ? Implement the more future proof DirectX11 for Windows which still works for DirectX9 video cards;
    ? Event logging which among others shows which video files didn’t got added to your library;
    ? Skin settings are now stored as separate files like any other add-on which makes migrating settings a lot easier;
    ? Image resource add-ons which provide a single point of entry for skins to share common used images like movie studio icons and record labels which saves quite a lot of space and bandwidth;
    ? Audio DSP  (Digital Signal Processing)  add-on integration and are already included which could make things possible like equalizers, sound processing, fake surround and more
    ? PVR/DVR section has been extended and improved massively which now also handles series recording
    ? Music library improvements which includes asking to scan to library when adding locations and also better tag scanning
    ? Button long-press which extends the functionality of a single button to handle two functions which is great for button deprived remotes
    ? User interface now supports a new stereoscopic depth effect for 3D TVs or VR headsets
    ? Extend the UPnP server/client integration between Kodi installations
    ? Android now support a Surface Rendering which keeps the interface at normal HD resolution while allows playback of 4K on supported devices
    ? Removal of the infamous libstagefright on Android  which served us for the past years while the Android platform matured to a fully fetaured MediaCodec
    ? Add-on manager underwent heavy changes which includes slightly different structure, per add-on auto-update on/off switch, better update/rollback support to choose from repos,
    ? Extend the included keyboard layouts which includes Korean and Chinese
    ? Improved multi-touch support which now also works on Linux
    ? Gives skin developers a more reliable platform to work from and reduce amount of work for adapting to new Kodi versions

隨著對視頻清晰度越來越高的要求，XBMC受限于XBOX的硬件性能逐漸沒落，不過近日XBMC終于推出了真正的Windows版本，在Windows平臺下我們又能夠找回XBOX上熟悉的感覺了。
