I have 9.2.0 with updates set to manual and show update notification disabled and yet it is still both checking for new versions and still prompting to update. If I say No the same prompt comes back again and again every time Kodi starts.
I don’t care for myself but there are people who use this that are confused by the update prompts.
Is there a way either to simply disable update checking so that it never looks to see if a new version exists or a way to have new updates applied automatically on reboot without any prompts ever showing on screen?
