Wow — Kodi 17.1 What an Upgrade

I just let my Raspberry Pi 2 automatically do its upgrade and was surprised by the major interface changes that have happened from the previous version I was running last week vs. what just happened today.

I was unpleasantly surprised about the many changes to the interface without allowing users to have the option to sticking with the older interface or something close to it. I also am finding it very difficult to follow any previous tutorials on how to add repositories to this new version of Kodi. My biggest disappointment is I haven’t found an option where you can see your favorite Add On on the opening screen. Also the list of movies from my favorite addon takes forever to populate and when I exit out and do another query for the latest movies it appears that there is no cache that it uses so it has to rebuild the list from scratch.
