KODI Technical Questions

Question

I have a couple of questions:

 	 When I go to Google Play Store to upgrade my Kodi to version 17 - I am not sure which one I should be using and when I do this will I lose all of the addons such as Phoenix, Specto that are already loaded.
 	When I did try to download the next version - it keeps telling me that there was a parse error - and I have tried several times - what is this and what I am doing wrong?
 	On several streams that I select - if it has the word video or specially video.me - a 13 second video pops up and a message instead of the program.  How can I get rid of this?  Will an upgrade do it or do I need to wipe my entire kodi android box

I hope you can help me - I have tried with you tube and followed the steps but continue to get these problems.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

I'm not 100% sure what happens if you change from a downloaded APK version of Kodi to the Google Play installed version.  I don't know if it keeps settings or not.
But, based on your other questions, I suggest you completely delete Kodi and install Kodi fresh using Google Play Store.  It sounds like you need a fresh install because you shouldn't be getting a 13 second video popup like you mentioned.
However, I'm not a big user of Phoenix or Specto.  I primarily use Exodus.
