Hi sorry if this has been answered elsewhere.
I have a Kodi Box. X92 , running Android 6.0.1 and has a AArch64 rev4 processor.
It is currently running Kodi 16.1
I have downloaded the 17 upgrade from a couple of other places and everytime I try to run it I get an error message along the lines of Parse Error, There was a problem parsing the package.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Do I even need Kodi !7?
Thanks in advance.
The Android version you are running does seem to support version 17 (assuming your box doesnt run some heaviliy modified/mutilated build).
Where exactly are you downloading the apk from? 'A couple of other places' doesnt sound pomising. If you download from kodi.tv or use the official Playstore Kodi 17 and onwards should install without issue

Yeah Sorry, I d/ld from Kodi.tv and Google Play, and there was already a version on the box, get the same outcome no matter which.
