Hi all;
I looked at the other threads about v18, but I don't see this specific issue being addressed. If it is, mods, please feel free to move this posting to whatever thread you think is appropriate.
I just started up Kodi for the first time in a week on my Android TV box, and was surprised to see a new v18 splash screen, and a "converting library" message.
I thought I'd disabled auto-update, but either I hadn't, or the setting was ignored by Android.
In any event, I tried watching a video, but the playback is now so choppy as to be almost unwatchable. I thought it might be the new videos, but then I tried to watch a movie I'd seen two weeks ago, which was fine then, but it was also very choppy as well. Every video I played has this problem.
Unfortunately, I don't see any way to roll it back to v17. Is there an official process anywhere on how to install a previous build? I've looked on the Android Play store and there are a few comments to "just install the APK", but I'm not sure that's an option. Even if it is, how can I make sure it doesn't auto-update again to v18 again?
I'm sure v18 works for the great majority of setups, but mine isn't one of them.
