Did fresh install w/.img from osmc.tv. Running Kodi 18.9

Did a fresh install of my Vero4K+

Downloaded disk image from https://ftp.fau.de/osmc/osmc/download//installers/diskimages/OSMC_TGT_vero3_20201227.img.gz, and de-tarred. Did fresh install. Made no other changes to the system: this is all from the install from the above image.

Note here: Kodi(18.9) And I checked in System Info, the same.

Tried running OSMC update: there was none.

How do I get Kodi v19?

TIA

How do I get Kodi v19?

Kodi 19 for OSMC is still in a testing state.

[TESTING] Kodi v19 builds for Vero 4K / 4K +

Overview The next version of Kodi v19 (codename Matrix) was released in January. Since then, we’ve been working on bringing this up for OSMC. There have been a number of technical challenges, but we now should have a release that is of the standard you would expect from us. This update ships with our new and improved video stack, which we will document shortly on our website. Just over a month ago, we outlined a list of things you need to know before considering upgrading to this version. We…

Ok. I got that.

But v18 still uses python2. Some of the addons I would like to use now require python3. Could I install that manually? Or will it break something else?

I don’t know if you saw this post:

[TESTING] Kodi v19 builds for Vero 4K / 4K +

Just in case: there doesn’t seem to be any audio sync problem with the stable releases. In fact playback is great - even including x265/UHD. Just noticed: it seems I have v18 kodi installed, not v19. I got the .img file from Download - OSMC - for the Vero4K+. Did a fresh install of osmc with that image. Did another fresh install. Running Kodi v18.9. This topic should e…

With that test build version (logs were uploaded, see previous posts), I had bad audio sync problems with several videos. Didn’t know if you had seen this post.

Unless you plan to sit on Kodi v18 forever, it’s a good idea to fix your issue instead.
