Kodi vs Smartsheet
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Kodi and Smartsheet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Kodi vs Smartsheet: 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 Smartsheet?
Smartsheet retires card view for Enterprise and moves AI into three named views.
An October batch ends a stretch of mostly navigation pages in this feed with real product changes. Card view is retired for Enterprise customers in favor of board view, and AI capabilities are now reached only from Table, Board and Timeline views. Around that sit a Workday sync through the Integrations panel, SharePoint file import, bulk attachment handling and new keyboard shortcuts in table view.
Kodi vs Smartsheet: editorial side-by-side
Kodi
0.0COLLAB
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.
Smartsheet
5.0COLLABPM
Smartsheet retires card view for Enterprise and moves AI into three named views.
◆ Current state
An October batch ends a stretch of mostly navigation pages in this feed with real product changes. Card view is retired for Enterprise customers in favor of board view, and AI capabilities are now reached only from Table, Board and Timeline views. Around that sit a Workday sync through the Integrations panel, SharePoint file import, bulk attachment handling and new keyboard shortcuts in table view.
◆ Where it's heading
Table view is being built into the primary work surface, with attachment management and shortcuts arriving there and AI access narrowed to a defined set of views. The Workday and SharePoint additions pull enterprise data in rather than leaving it to be re-keyed. The April Contributor seat was packaging; this batch is product consolidation.
◆ Prediction
Card view's retirement starts with Enterprise, so wider retirement is the logical next step, though the entries give no date. More table view parity work looks likely given how much of this batch landed there.
