LibreELEC


LibreELEC is a non-profit fork of OpenELEC as an open source software appliance, a just enough Linux distro for Kodi. This fork of OpenELEC announced in March 2016 as a split from the OpenELEC team after "creative differences", taking most of its active developers at the time to join the new LibreELEC project.
This is a conservative fork of the OpenELEC project with a stronger focus on pre-release testing and post-release change management.

History

Because of the end of Python 2 support in 2020, LibreElec version 10 with Kodi 19 switches to Python 3. Therefore, addons created for prior versions with python 2 need to be updated by developers for Kodi 19 because python code is not backward compatible.
