Anyone running any Ubuntu 15.04 variant will need to upgrade to 15.10, assuming it works. 15.04 expires in January!
To listen to podcasts offline, one can use Miro to gather the files, then use your file manager to browse the .miro/movies folders. I find Miro to be imperfect, but good enough.
Thanks for the heads up on 15.04 expiring in January. Didn’t realize it was coming that soon.
Hey, regarding the Softpedia claiming 2.8.3 is released, they’re literally just going off what is being tagged on github. It’s probably automated I would imagine.
Just an update for everyone. Thanks to recent updates, I’m now able to use Kodi perfectly on Ubuntu MATE 15.10.
