Kodi 16: Alpha 3

[Midniterider]

16.0 Jarvis build ALPHA 3--was released today ......with a lot of fix,s :

More and more hardware companies are coming out with remote controls with a very limited button set. In particular, all current Android TVs are lacking a dedicated context menu button altogether. To deal with this, we’ve taken a page from the touchscreen UX and added a long press feature to remote controls. Now, if you press and hold the OK/Enter button for a few seconds, you will pull up the context menu. In the future, long press may be extended for additional functionality

Three finger touchpad mapping in iOS to make room for new tablet gestures which will be available in Alpha 4 to complement existing tablet gestures.
• Kodi now supports being compiled with Xcode 7
• The Kodi GUI now supports a new stereoscopic depth effect for users of Kodi on 3D TVs or VR headsets
• The Music Library and Files View for music have now been unified, similar to how video files and library are unified

Needless to say, this is not the entire list of fixes and features for Alpha 3, but that list is quite long and tends to focus on under-the-hood items that are mostly of interest to other devs, skinners, and add-on writers. As these under-the-hood changes begin to work their way up to the user experience

maybe worth checking out a lot of the bugs worked out:

unless your sending log reports to Kodi to help the developers, I recommend for new or inexperienced Kodi users to stick with latest stable builds or RC releases. The dailies and monthly are notoriously unstable, thks...

[K00lKatT]

i cant get stalker working with Kodi 16 Alpha3 x86 android version on a nexus player, might have to go back to 15.1, stalker ver on 16A3 is .97


EDIT > you just need to use a different portal url as stated in a different thread here, stalker pvr no longer supports URL redirects, so for iptv66 the server address should be "mw1.iptv66.tv/stalker_portal/c/index.html"
