T8 MINI - Kodi Version advice Please

[Bollocks77]

Hi again,
Im afraid I need more advice please. Here goes!!!!! Im using T8 Mini. I use only LE and it states I have Kodi 17.3 and LE 8 something.
But I logged into kodi side and after checking what version it tells me something different.
I took a pic. Would I be best to wait until official Droidbox updates for the version it is telling me I can have??? Just a bit confused. I know LE is different and thats why I like it.
Any advice on this or to clear my head would be great.
Regards
Dave

You can update android kodi (avoid using the term "the kodi side" btw) to 17.6 from google play store.
You have 2 separate operating systems;
Android - containing all those wonderful apps like youtube, google, facebook, mobdro...and kodi
Librelec - a simple linux shell that just runs kodi.

Hi

You can take a look at BETA non official section on the T8 Mini board so you can update to the most recent version manually.Regarding Kodi on Android you can update to the latest release through google play store.

Can I ask if this is worth updating from what I have in the picture to the newest? is it stable? as ive not had problems with my system.
Also - since I rarely log into android side - Ive read that I should at least once log into my google play store to update stuff - is this right?
Hope this dont sound too daft.

Beta L E V8.2 is Kodi 17.5 and runs fine Dave, have used it for months with no problems

Thanks - is that from Googleplay store? I think I have LE 8.1 or 8.2 running and it states within LE kodi 17.3 but in android it states 16.1.
Cheers mate

An update to android Kodi 17.6 is available from Google play.
