Kodi in a Hyper-V virtual machine running Windows 11 - BartZorn - 2022-01-29
Hello,
For various experiments, I would like to be able to run Kodi on a Hyper-V VM running Windows 11.
However, both Kodi 19.3 and the latest Nexus build refuse to start with Error: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
Is there anything special I should do, or is it just something that will not work?
TIA,
Bart

A log file would be needed as that might have clues, do you also have a gpu passed through that is compatible?

Here is the logfile: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Pu1h5S0zR2eNujNzgd0Y_V4T_RTPhG66/view?usp=sharing
I don't know about the display adapter. The device manager in the VM shows a Microsoft Hyper-V Video adapter, and probably because I am accessing the VM via remote desktop, a Microsoft Remote Display Adapter.
I frequently access my HTPC via remote desktop without problem, so I do not think the Remote Display adapter is the problem.
This apparently not a well know issue!
Regards,
Bart

pretty sure the hyper-v adapter is the cause and doesn't support enough features to run kodi, remote desktop is fine as that is just connecting to your hardware and mirroring what that shows

Hmm... that's a pity.
Have to think of an other way.
Thanks,
