Install KODI 18 Beta 1 with DRM APPS working

 

KODI 18 Beta 1 Finally surfaces with full updates. KODI is very late on the offical release in 2018, as the previous releases had always been for KODI to officially release on Feburary or March that same year. However in 2018 KODI team broke that rule, at the time of writing this article it is still August 2018 and we still have not heard of the KODI 19 projects yet, so this even makes it a mystory that not even the KODI official site has mentioned the KODI BETA 1 release.

Updates so far

  • DRM Support and Apps
  • Gaming (Games interface and Game Clients)
  • Live TV and PVR (Personal Video Recorder)
  • BSD Specific
  • Linux Specific
  • iOS Specific
  • OS X Specific
  • Windows Specific

Digital rights management (DRM)

Digital rights management (DRM) is a systematic approach to copyright protection for digital media. The purpose of DRM is to prevent unauthorized redistribution of digital media and restrict the ways consumers can copy content they've purchased. DRM products were developed in response to the rapid increase in online piracy of commercially marketed material, which proliferated through the widespread use of peer-to-peer file exchange programs. Typically DRM is implemented by embedding code that prevents copying, specifies a time period in which the content can be accessed or limits the number of devices the media can be installed on.

DRM APPS Working so far are Netflix  and Amazon Video

Adding Netflix items to your library

1) When you find a movie or Tv show you want to add to your Kodi library, press ‘C' to enable the context menu, then select the ‘export to library' option.
2) By default, the Netflix addon exports items to the following path on Windows and will create separate folders at this location for movies and Tv shows:-
C:\Users\My Pc's Name\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.netflix (You can obviously choose a different path if you prefer).
3) Create a new Video path for your Netflix Movie and Tv shows folders by clicking on ‘Videos' on your main home menu, then ‘Files', then ‘Add Videos'
5) Navigate and select the path of your Netflix Movie and TV show folders, as detailed in step 2
6) Once your path has been added, highlight it, then press ‘C' to enable the context menu and select the ‘Scan For New Content' option. Once done, your Netflix items will now appear in your Kodi library….
