Kodi 22.3 released with fixes for Linux and Xbox

The open-source media player Kodi has released version 22.3, featuring significant fixes for Linux and Xbox users. This update serves as a temporary measure while developers prepare the next major release, Kodi 23.

Kodi, a popular open-source media center application, announced the release of version 22.3 on December 15, 2025. This minor update addresses two key issues affecting users on Linux and Xbox platforms, improving stability and compatibility for these systems.

The release comes at a time when the Kodi team is working on the more substantial Kodi 23, which promises broader enhancements. For now, version 22.3 acts as a bridge, ensuring that existing users on affected platforms can continue enjoying smooth playback and navigation without major disruptions.

Developers emphasized that these fixes were prioritized based on community feedback, highlighting the project's commitment to cross-platform reliability. Users are encouraged to update promptly to benefit from the improvements, especially if they encounter playback issues on Linux distributions or Xbox consoles.

While details on the exact nature of the fixes remain tied to technical changelogs, the update underscores Kodi's ongoing evolution in the media streaming landscape.
