![]() ![]() Okay, but is Kodi really to blame for moving forward and finally dropping an EOL Python version? I see that Kodi 17 and 18 seem to not support Python 3 yet but Python 2 only (?) and Python 19 does only support Python 3, so a transition version with support for both would have been nice. ![]() For us that is a good thing, but for some elements of our user base it would be less desirable. And of course a lot of the older piracy addons have also fallen by the wayside. It is of course possible for authors to update their addons to the new language, and indeed many have done so and a majority of addons are still fully available.īut it has had the other effects of allowing a lot of the old/dead/unsupported addons to be removed from our ecosystem, which is generally positive but may impact on some people who were still using them even in that state. So we were forced to update to Python 3 in Matrix (and beyond - Nexus and all future versions will be based on Python 3).Īs the two languages are not compatible with one another, there was a hard divide drawn, and Python 2 addons for Leia will not work on Matrix due to this. Leia and its addons are based around Python 2, which of course is now EOL and will no longer receive any security (or other) updates. The main reason for the “pain” is the enforced update of the Python version used between Leia and Matrix. So for example new shows or movies added on an 18.x machine won’t appear on a 19.x one, and the watched statuses between the two version families will no longer synchronise (shows watched on an 18.x machine will appear as watched on other 18.x machines, but not on 19.x ones). ![]() All Kodi devices linked to it will use the appropriate version of the database for their installed Kodi version, but there will be no “cross-communication” between them. When you go from 18.x Leia to 19.x Matrix, the database will update automatically and a new one will be created on your MySQL or MariaDB server (presuming that’s where it’s centrally stored). ![]()
