Kodi vs Radarr
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Kodi and Radarr — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Kodi vs Radarr: at a glance
What is Kodi?
Kodi 22 reaches its first release candidate, with HDR subtitles the last visible gain.
v22 Piers reached RC1 in late September. FFmpeg moves to 9.0.2 and libass to 0.17.5, and the fix list runs across video, disc, audio and subtitle handling. The one user-visible addition with real weight is HDR overlay support, including UHD PGS subtitles, with tone mapping to SDR on Windows.
What is Radarr?
Radarr's 7.0 pre-release moves to .NET 10 and adds OIDC login.
A Radarr 7.0.0 pre-release landed in late October with .NET 10, Node.js 24, OIDC authentication with Remember Me, PEM certificates, an option to bypass authentication for localhost and Trakt Smart List imports. Custom scores can now use the renamed filename before import. The 6.4.4 builds before it added a filter by movie file quality and more fixes for Trusted Networks and Allowed Hosts logging.

Kodi

Kodi 22 reaches its first release candidate, with HDR subtitles the last visible gain.
◆ Current state
v22 Piers reached RC1 in late September. FFmpeg moves to 9.0.2 and libass to 0.17.5, and the fix list runs across video, disc, audio and subtitle handling. The one user-visible addition with real weight is HDR overlay support, including UHD PGS subtitles, with tone mapping to SDR on Windows.
◆ Where it's heading
The cycle has narrowed as the betas suggested it would. Blu-ray work has moved from new menus to playlist matching, library updates and optical-drive faults, and many fixes target crashes, hangs and shutdown races. New capability now appears only where it completes something the alphas began, as with HDR subtitles following HDR playback work.
◆ Prediction
Further candidates or a final Piers release are the next step, and these notes point to fixes rather than features. No entry gives a release date.
Radarr
2.5COLLAB
Radarr's 7.0 pre-release moves to .NET 10 and adds OIDC login.
◆ Current state
A Radarr 7.0.0 pre-release landed in late October with .NET 10, Node.js 24, OIDC authentication with Remember Me, PEM certificates, an option to bypass authentication for localhost and Trakt Smart List imports. Custom scores can now use the renamed filename before import. The 6.4.4 builds before it added a filter by movie file quality and more fixes for Trusted Networks and Allowed Hosts logging.
◆ Where it's heading
Authentication has become the main axis after months of third-party integration upkeep: Trusted Networks and hostname validation arrived in 6.4.3, and OIDC arrives in 7.0. That is a move toward instances exposed to more than one person or network.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 7.0 pre-releases that clear authentication and .NET 10 fallout before the build reaches the main branch. The notes give no date for a final 7.0.
