According to the official Kodi development team, the 20.3 release of the Kodi 20 Nexus software is now complete.

The official press release from the Kodi website states the following on Kodi 20.3 Nexus:

“A new year dawns, and brings with it one last hurrah for the Kodi “Nexus” release line. An assortment of bug fixes, some backports, no real new features. Full changelog since 20.2 on Github, as usual.”

Kodi 20.3 Nexus is now the most stable version of the Kodi software. This has replaced the previous 20.2 version.

If you are currently using version 20.0 Nexus and it’s working well for you, then we don’t suggest updating!

Thanks, as always, to everyone who has helped us track down and fix any issues. We endeavour to minimise the issues everyone experiences, but with such a large project, and the fact everyone contributing to Kodi is a volunteer, issues and bugs are a part of life. if you happen to experience any bugs/issues, don’t hesitate to reach out on the forums, or raise an issue on Github.

As this is a point release, there are no major changes since the previous version, and you should be fine to install this straight over the top of any existing Kodi 20.x installation – indeed, this will happen automatically on many platforms. However, as for all software installations, back up your userdata beforehand if you’ve any doubts or have anything you can’t afford to lose (and definitely do this if you’re going for a major version upgrade).

A list of all changes for this version can be found at GitHub. If you want to read back on the full history of v20 itself, or of previous versions, you can find the corresponding articles in the relevant blog posts.

Application deployment on different platforms (notably the Microsoft Store) can vary considerably due to circumstances outside of our control, so just be patient, and the update will inevitably find its way through.

Android Deployment

10th January, 18:50 UTC: Unfortunately, it seems that our attempts to backport the PRs required to submit to Google Play have been unsuccessful, and we have received multiple reports of installation failure (“Cannot download OBB”). We have thus halted the rollout of 20.3 via Play with immediate effect.

For those who did get the initial deployment, you will unfortunately have to uninstall and reinstall from Google Play. This should then reinstall 20.2 as of now.

How to Install Kodi 20.3 Nexus
