Kodi on Arch from official repository, Odroid XU4

[dox81]

Hi all,

I also posted on Odroid forum, but no luck until now. Here is the problem:
I'm trying to get kodi to work on Arch Linux (Odroid XU4). I installed kodi from arch repo, xorg-server, odroid-xu3-libgl-fb(also tried with odroid-xu3-libgl-x11), xf86-video-armsoc-odroid.

This is my xorg.conf:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Section "Device"
Identifier "Mali-Fbdev"
Driver "armsoc"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
Option "DriverName" "exynos"
Option "DPMS" "false"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Mali-Screen"
Device "Mali-Fbdev"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Module"
Disable "glx"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "blank time" "0"
Option "standby time" "0"
Option "suspend time" "0"
Option "off time" "0"
Option "dpms" "false"
EndSection
')

I use
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'startx /usr/bin/kodi --standalone')
to start kodi.

All I get is a black screen. In the logs I do not see any error. Can anybody guide me how to get kodi to work on arch? What am I doing wrong?

Anybody running kodi successfully on XU4 with Arch?

[Kabbone]

Why do you start a X-Server? On the Rpi I always start kodi just from the shell.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
$ kodi &

@Kabbone

When I use "kodi &", I get:

############### END LOG FILE ################')

From the last two lines of the log, I suppose I need X-server to start. Maybe I'm wrong, but I really don't know what else to do. I could start kodi with startx /usr/sbin/kodi --standalone only when I was using kodi from a 3rd party repository. Unfortunately the guy that maintained that repo is no longer in business.
