LibreELEC


LibreELEC is an up-to-date non-profit and fully open-source fork of the OpenELEC as an up-to-date Just enough operating system. It acts as a Linux-based all-in-one Home theater PC (HTPC) distribution for the Kodi media center application software appliance and entertainment system.
The initial fork of OpenELEC was first announced in March 2016 as a split from the OpenELEC team after "creative differences", taking most of its active developers at the time to join the new LibreELEC project.
This is a conservative fork of the OpenELEC project with a stronger focus on pre-release testing and post-release change management for a more stable setup and environment.

History

Because of the end of Python 2 support in 2020, LibreElec version 10 with Kodi 19 switches to Python 3. Therefore, addons created for prior versions with python 2 need to be updated by developers for Kodi 19 because Python code is not backward compatible.
