Zwei Wochen nach dem Release von Kodi 18 Leia steht das erste größere Bugfix-Update an. Version 18.1 wurde als RC1 veröffentlicht und sollte all die Bugs fixen, die nach dem Release an den Tag getreten sind. Entsprechend lang ist auch die Liste der Bugfixes. Neue Funktionen gibt es mit Version 18.1 indes nicht, es wird sich rein darauf konzentriert, Fehler zu beheben.
