Note: As ever, thanks to the great members of our community here for their threads, links, thoughts and PMs on this topic. If you don't want to change from your current version of OpenELEC, stick to the FTMC application mentioned above. This is by design, so that it has full compatibility with any pre-existing implementations of 0penInfo Script in skins and other add-ons. If you have a T8-S device (not the Plus v1 or v2) and are happy to experiment with a BETA version of LibreELEC, you can have by following the steps at Kodi 17. Diamond Info is a fork of 0penInfo Script, and will replace any existing 0penInfo Script fork on you system, including the official 0penInfo Script in the Kodi Repository. In both cases you will effectively have Kodi 16 (with a different name), but with updated Python modules so sources hosted with the newer HTTPS version in use will work.

If you have a T8, M8, EM8, T8-S, M3, M5, K5, M6, iMX6 or original T8-S, you can try the Amlogic APK from that thread. If you are running Android 4 and have an X7, X7 Ultimate, X8 Ultimate, Q7, Q8, Q8-S, Go projector, PlayON make sure you try the Rockchip APK from that thread. See ( has links for the latest version to download and install). There is however a solution in Android - FTMC.

If your device has Android 4.4, then Kodi 16.1 and DBMC 16.3.0 are the latest compatible versions. Completely ignore it, click the Dismiss button. The message above is still shown even when you are running Kodi 17.

If you have a recent device with Android 5 or 6, you can install Kodi 17.1 from the Play Store. Until then, you can continue to use the same application and version that you do right now. In the future, yes more hosting services will be using a version of the HTTPS protocol that older versions of Kodi (specifically the Python modules in Kodi) can not handle.

DroidBOX do not offer any support for TVAddons's build/fork of Kodi. They would really like you to install their software, you are free to do so if it is compatible, but most people will stick with Kodi or DBMC. If you do not have any add-ons installed from the TV Addons team, the message won't appear on your system. TV Addons have overstated the case somewhat. This is not an official message from the Kodi team, or indeed DroidBOX.
