Kodi "Matrix" 19.2 Release

A versão 19.1 já foi lançada à algum tempo e desde então vários problemas apareceram e foram resolvidos nos meses seguintes. 

Essas resoluções vêm na mais recente verão da série "Matrix". 

Assim como acontece com outros lançamentos pontuais, não procures novos recursos, pois esse não é realmente o propósito, o propósito aqui é a correção de problemas. 

Todos os detalhes estão no GitHub , mas aqui está a forma abreviada ... 

PVR

• Fixed: crash when accessing invalid PVR channel from favourites
• Fixed: crash on startup while searching for missing channel icons
• Fixed: crash on startup caused by missing timer type
• Fixed: "Delete permanently" of recordings from trash
• Other, more minor bug fixes

Video Library

• Fixed a bug that deleted UniqueID's when scraping the library, which caused unexpected behaviour for addons relying on those ID's

Games

• Added translations for emulators and game controller add-ons

JSON-RPC

• Expose icon path of EPG tags as 'thumbnail' property
• Expose series number of EPG tags as 'seasonnum' property.

Network

• Websocket: handles partial messages

Add-ons

• Fixed: display logic for official and third-party modules

Windows specifics

• Fixed: possible crash when switching monitors due to adding/removing hardware.
• Fixed: audio passthrough not working (randomly) on some systems when display refresh rate match is enabled.
• Improved: flip discard swap chain is used on all Windows 10 systems even if graphics driver does not support latest DirectX feature levels.
• Improved: 10-bit swap chain is used by default on Windows 10 systems when HDR display is detected (for 8-bit SDR video sources too).
• Fixed: possible crash related to WS-Discovery when non-computer devices (e.g. IP cameras) are attached to the same network.
• Fixed: possible crash when HDR is toggled on/off externally from Windows 10 display settings.
• Fixed: no picture or wrong black level with some video drivers when limited range output is enabled in conjunction with hardware acceleration DXVA2 and HDR passthrough.

Android specifics

• Fixed: external storage volumes not visible on devices running old Android versions

Xbox specifics

The big news here is that we can finally make 19.x "Matrix" available on the Xbox - thanks for putting up with the delay while we fixed the blockers!

• Fixed: tone mapping not used by default at playback HDR videos.
• Fixed: missing display refresh rate info on Video Debug Info OSD (Alt+O).
• Fixed: Internet SSL connectivity not working due not usable path to built-in CA certs bundle.
• Improved: swap chain performance using DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_FLIP_DISCARD.
• Improved: 10-bit swap chain surfaces are used if an HDR-capable TV is detected (even for 8-bit SDR videos).
• Improved: HEVC DXVA2 decoder performance using 128 byte aligned decoder surfaces.

Deves instalar diretamente sobre a versão existente do Kodi, na verdade, isso acontecerá automaticamente em muitas plataformas, mas, se tiveres alguma dúvida, faz backup dos teus dados de utilizador com antecedência. 

Da mesma forma, este é um aumento da versão menor, portanto, não há alteração nas versões da base de dados ou algo semelhante na grande maioria das plataformas; a exceção é obviamente da Xbox, onde os utilizadores precisam de  estar cientes de que, para eles, esta é uma grande atualização (18,9 para 19,2).
