If you are a Kodi/XBMC user, you no longer have to sideload the apk. Join the beta and have updates delivered to you like any other app.

First join the Kodi Beta group , or if you prefer the latest and greatest you can join the Kodi Alpha group .

Next become a tester

Lastly install the app from the playstore (Note: It might take a couple minutes for google to register that you are a tester. It will say app not found or something like that if you go to that link prematurely.)

*** IF YOU JOIN BOTH THE BETA AND ALPHA COMMUNITES IT WILL ALWAYS DOWNLOAD THE APP FOR THE LATEST BUILD

Worked for me. Looks like its based on a now out-of-date build of Kodi, however

I installed the latest stable build the other day.

If in join the Beta, will my userdata remain?
