OSMC's November update is here with Kodi 21.3
Today we're happy to release OSMC's November 2025 update for all supported devices. The nights are drawing in and it's getting colder. So we want to keep your OSMC experience running smoothly. This update brings you Kodi v21.3 with a number of improvements.
The release notes for Kodi v21.3 are not yet officially available but we will update this post with a link when they are published.
USA shipments restored
From 29th August, there was an executive order stating that shipments to the USA would be subject to import tarrifs and we initially advised for customers to put their orders before this date.
We're now happy to announce that since early September, we have resumed shipments to the US. They remain tariff free and the price that you see on the website is the final price. There are no extra or hidden charges. It's business as usual.
Dolby Vision support
In case you missed it, we are now happy to announce TV-led Dolby Vision support for Vero V devices. You can learn more about Dolby Vision here.
Nothing needs to be done to enable this functionality beyond updating to the latest version of OSMC.
Furthermore, we are now exploring Dolby Vision FEL support and we have started testing this internally.
Black Friday
We like to offer our customers the best possible price for our products, including our flagship Vero V. We didn't offer a Black Friday discount this year. We're already offering the best possible price and with the current insatiable demand for DRAM, we're doing our best to keep the price as it is while we can.
Technology usually operates in a deflationary environment but the AI boom is currently causing an extreme demand for memory. We are doing what we can to mitigate this, including purchasing memory in advance when we see price breaks.
On the OSMC side, we've made a number of changes to keep things running smoothly:
Bug fixes
- Vero V: fix an issue with MPEG2 based Live TV
- Vero V: avoid micro stutter when users pauses a video
- Vero V: fix a micro stutter issue when a user presses pause
- Raspberry Pi / Vero: fix Inputstream Adaptive issues
Improving the user experience
- Vero V: improved skin performance significantly in library mode and windows which expose lots of text
- Vero V: improved playback performance and display latency calculations
- Vero V: limit number of HDMI resets when starting stream for smoother playback
- Vero V: added support for Dolby Vision Profile 10
- Vero V: fixed a frame drop issue that occur after absolute seeking
- Vero V: automatically reboot five seconds after a kernel panic
- OSMC Skin: improved main menu widget sorting and item limit
Miscellaneous
- Vero V: add support for memory dumping crashes on panic
- Add version codename to
/etc/os-releaseto improve compatibility
