Has anyone been able to install KODI and use a Adafruit 3.5" piTFT?

Yes. Do you need help with this or are you just asking before buying the screen?

Hi Ned, thanks for the reply. I have the 3.5" piTFT. I have tried several different ways of getting this to work (from various sites). I've been abel to get the screen to work by simply following the install guide at piTFT, but cant get kodi to not display on the hdmi screen. I was hoping that someone might point me in the right direction on what actually works.

I'm not sure how up to date this is, but this is what I followed the last time I did it: http://www.circuitbasics.com/setup-lcd-t...pberry-pi/

Thanks, I've been there. Seems the 3.5 piTFT isn't supported. I did try it anyway and got to
sudo REPO_URI=https://github.com/notro/rpi-firmware rpi-upeate
Everything installed, but reboot hangs. No screen, no stack init. Can't ping or ssh to the device.

Interesting thing,

This works. I get touch screen and can start kodi.
When I do start kodi, the hdmi kicks in.

I am sure I am going to need to do this soon, my Raspberry 7" touchscreen sold by Raspberry is coming in today. Got an idea on a completely mobile and portable Kodi setup. Screen and the new Smarticase are both coming in today. I am going to attach an SSD to the back of the smarticase, got a SATA to USB cable and that will make the entire process very portable.
