Hi,
I have a raspberry with raspbian and kodi that is connected to my tv with hdmi.
I would like to know if is possible to open a terminal ssh (with putty) and if I can open kodi in these terminal to can see in the that computer.
Thanks and sorry for my english!
There's no way you can open kodi in putty. You might be able to get nomachine or some other remote desktop software but I'm not sure if that is possible on raspbian.
Not sure about raspbian but yes it's possible. I just run systemctl start kodi.
VNC might be able to do it. http://elinux.org/RPi_VNC_Server tells you how to set it up in Raspbian.
I have used this on Ubuntu to start from a ssh terminal: http://askubuntu.com/questions/47642/how...pc-via-ssh
I think what the OP wants is to start a remote session. IE run kodi on the pi but display on windows. No, not possible.
I'm trying with vnc but I think is impossible. It shows me the desktop but if I open a terminal or if I execute kodi the output goes to hdmi.
Thanks
