Hello,

I´m having problems to start kodi on my raspberry. I installed the v16.1 app on Raspbian distro. I try to open it but I can´t see anything on the screen.

I use "top" command to see the programs that are running and I can see "kodi.bin" on it.

Could anyone help me with this issue, please? I attach the following log for more information.

Thank you,

You have to set a minimum of 128 MB for the gpu in config.txt.

I previosly followed that tip but still the same.

Actually I´m connecting to my Raspi by xrdp. Could be possible that the image is not showing up due to I´m not trying it directly with the hdmi on TV?

Thanks for your reply "rascas"

With xrdp you won't be able to see or control Kodi remotely.

For that you can try dispmanx-vnc server or RealVNC which also works now:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/minecra...-over-vnc/

But don't expect good performance if you wan't to view videos remotely, this kind of protocols were not designed for this. Also Kodi is not supposed to be used like that, but with a TV/monitor connected directly to the Raspberry Pi.

Hi rascas,

Thanks for your reply. I´m guessing that probably this will be the problem.

Until now I´ve been testing the program remotely.

As soon as I check this issue I´ll let you know to close this topic.

Thank you again.

Regards.

Hello again!

I finally tried kodi with the hdmi and it is working correctly.

The issue was about connecting by xrdp.

Thanks for your help!!
