The team took a break after the release of the program. Work has resumed on the next version, Kodi 22. Each version of the software has an alphabetical codename with a sci-fi theme such as “Leia,” “Matrix,” “Nexus,” and “Omega.” The next version’s codename will start with “P,” breaking from tradition for a specific reason.

The proposed name “Pirate” for Kodi 22 was immediately rejected.
