Downgrade Kodi to v18.9 on RPi3

Help and Support Raspberry Pi

I updated both of my RPi3s yesterday - only to find out that h265 is no longer supported. Oops!

Is there any way to downgrade Kodi from v19 to 18.9 on OSMC? I thought I read somewhere that Sam was going to leave an image somewhere - but I can’t find where I had read that.

Thanks

You’ll need to redownload and install from Download - OSMC

Thanks for the quick reply Sam - but I only noticed an option to choose dates when using the Windows installer, and it looks like it goes back a year? Do you happen to know which date had the last v18?

Also, as a side note, I can’t thank-you enough for OSMC! I’ve ran it on my RPis for years now. I love it!

From what I’ve found, the November 2020 update was the last one to have v18.9, but I’ve been unable to find an image or a way to load that old update. Does anyone know where I could find an image (or if the download link that Sam provided actually has that Nov 2020 update)?

You can find older versions at download.osmc.tv. We don’t delete older versions.

Perfect! Thanks Sam - that’s exactly what I was looking for!
