Login at Kodi Home

User 336070 · 2016-06-25, 11:01

Hello,

I installed Raspbian on Raspberry2.

I changed the Language to German and the Time

After that I do in Terminal/Console:

Sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
(all works fine)
Sudo apt-get install kodi
(Installation seems all ok)

but after start kodi, only a simple background is show. It seems as frozen. I can't nothing do.

And I can't find any files in the .kodi Diretory. It is empty.

I have Kodi new installed.

Sudo apt-get purge kodi
Sudo apt-get install kodi

With the same result.

Can you help me, please?

Best regards,
Joe

.kodi lives in the home directory of the user that runs it.
Some kodi packages run kodi as the user "kodi". Try looking in "~kodi/.kodi"

Hello popcornmix,

thank you, for the answer. You are right.

Now I look at:

/home/pi/.kodi and can found the directory temp.

In the file kodi.log can I see these ERRORS:

"08:23:19 T:3019157504 ERROR: DBus: Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs - No such property CanSuspend
08:23:19 T:3019157504 ERROR: DBus: Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs - No such property CanHibernate"

Is this correct or the error for my problem??

Best regards,
joe

Hello ActionA,

thank you for the answer.

in /boot/config.txt is no gpu_mem settings to see.

only "dtparam=audio=on" is on

Code:
08:23:21 T:3019157504  NOTICE: ARM mem: 448MB GPU mem: 64MB MPG2:0 WVC1:0

This is a problem. You need gpu_mem set to at least 144 on a 512mb Pi. Add the following line to your config.txt

Code:
gpu_mem_512=144
