Kodi 16.0 "Jarvis" is quite close to being released with today marking the availability of their second release candidate.

Kodi 16.0 RC2 fixes some crashes, increases time-outs when searching for audio devices on Windows, and fixes on saving settings when switching between different profiles.

As written already about Kodi 16, this open-source HTPC software is bringing button long press support, improved Android rendering, better DirectX 11 support on Windows, settings improvements, PVR/DVR enhancements, better audio and video playback, and an assortment of other features.
