How do I prevent Android TV from auto-updating Kodi??

by bsmack

I am using the last experimental build for Kodi (Jarvis) that allows DTS-HD passthrough on my nvidia shield TV. The play store version does not allow for this, but still insists on updating Kodi. It's done this twice now and it's very annoying for me to have to uninstall it and install the experimental build again only for it to update again in 24 hours.

I've done some quick searching and the only thing I can find is how to turn off updates completely. Is there a way to turn it off for a certain app?

The guy that made build with pass through now actively maintains SPMC which a Kodi fork with a bunch of Android optimizations.

I use SPMC instead of Kodi and it works really well.

Was the question in the OP ever answered? I don't want my Kodi (or SPMC) to auto-update on my Android TV, because some add-ons I'm using have been abandoned by their devs and as I understand it, they will break in v17 Krypton. So I'm hoping to use v17 Jarvis for as long as possible.

Is my only solution to turn off automatic app updates completely? If so, that blows.
