Kodi instructions on raspberry pi 4, please?

[scrawler]

Hi Guys,
I installed kodi-pbp4 on my raspberry pi 4. I edited config.txt, started the service, searched online--no luck. when I enabled it, the pi wouldn't boot. I don't want it stand-alone because I might want to use the pi for other things...

Could somebody please provide or point to steps to get Kodi up and running? I've had it going twice before on different platforms, and I'm at a loss.

thanks

when I type "kodi" in a terminal I just get "Unable to create GUI. Exiting." When I run "systemctl start kodi," X crashes and I have to cycle the power.

I am not expert with the errors but I see a few entries in the log I do not understand.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '2020-05-21 02:50:37.472 T:2976353040 ERROR: failed to get EGL display (EGL_SUCCESS)
2020-05-21 02:50:37.472 T:2976353040 FATAL: CApplication::Create: Unable to init windowing system
')

Firstly, what is your use case? Standalone kodi box (no DE) or you want a graphical greeter and you want to run kodi on-demand?
Since you mentioned not a standalone box, do not run kodi.service. The logs under /var/lib/kodi/ will not be meaningful.

Secondly, were you running a greeter (graphical login manager) when you tried to start the kodi.service ... the time you generated that log you posted? I do not know how/if the two play together.

If you are running a DE, what happens when you try running kodi from a shell you open within the DE? The log to inspect will be under your user (not kodi's user) homedir: ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log

I'm running mate, and just want to run kodi on demand.

the logs in my home directory have pretty much just these errors:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

Pretty strange.

You might want to post on the Kodi forums, RPi subsection. I do not know having never tried running it outside of the service.
