We will release official beta builds shortly.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Fixed an issue where WiFi would cause high CPU usage and temperatures on Vero 4K / Vero 4K +
  • Fixed an issue which could cause poor playback performance under load on Raspberry Pi devices
  • Fixed highlighting of ‘next up’ notification when using the OSMC skin.

Miscellaneous

  • Added support for ZRAM to Vero 4K / Vero 4K +
  • Don’t run sudo commands which may not be possible when logging in as the non-OSMC user
