Kodi 19.4 Release with Bug Fixes, Download Links & Update Instructions

Kodi 19.4 has officially been released and is now considered the “stable” version of this software.

The following article shows the updates, and changes within Kodi 19.4 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.

If Kodi is currently working well for you, we don’t recommend updating.

Unfortunately, Kodi 19.4 won’t be available in Google Play store for Android TV boxes, phones, or tablets.

Here is a quote from the Kodi team regarding updating to Kodi 19.4 on Android.

Please note that we are currently unable to provide this update via the Google Play Store. An updated Google requirement demands that apps now target API level 30 (Android 11) as a minimum, while Kodi targets API level 29 (Android 10).

As such, we’re unable to upload 19.4 to the Play Store, although 19.3 will remain available. However, for those who want the new release, 19.4 can be downloaded from our servers and installed manually.

Due to Kodi 19.4 not being available in Google Play for Android users, we’ve created a new video tutorial and screenshot guide that shows how to update this new version on those devices.

We show how to update Android TV systems, phones, and tablets running Kodi.
