Kodi 19.2 Release with Bug Fixes, Download Links & Update Instructions
Kodi 19.2 has officially been released and is now considered the “stable” version of this software.
The following article shows the new features, updates, and changes within Kodi 19.2 which have been pulled directly from the official Kodi Website.
You can also download the most recent version using the links below or learn how to update.
Typically, we don’t recommend updating with these small incremental updates but there are quite a few bug fixes that may help with your Kodi experience.
If Kodi is currently working well for you, we don’t recommend updating.
It’s been awhile since the last release of Kodi was pushed out, so naturally, there are quite a few issues that have been addressed.

It’s important to note that there is now a new addon system for 19 which also applies to 19.2.
Some addons aren’t compatible with 19 yet and you will find an updated list of addons and builds that currently work.
These should also work fine with Kodi 19.2 as well.

I am trying to add an addon on the kodi repository but the one I want is missing from the list. It’s the latest version so it should be there. Somebody gave me a fix (magneticgothub.io) but I got an error message. Ready to try again but can’t locate that message. Can you help?
I updated Kodi 18.3 with no problems. However none of my Addons are working correctly. They appear to work well but the ultimate result is only one or two sources only appear when selecting a popular video.
I did not want to take the time to reload Kodi 18.2 so I decided to use Cyberflix until the Addons update to this new version. I must say I was impressed with Cyberflix and the many Debrid sources that it produces.
I hope and think that that the Addons will be updated in the near future. I suggest you check that your Addons are compatible before updating to Kodi 18.3.
