I just tried to install Kodi on my Debian box and was flatly rejected it seems. I added
deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main
to my
/etc/apt/sources.list file (sudo'd of course)

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kodi

and it seemed to be going smoothly until:
"E: Unable to locate package kodi"
so I did
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
then tried install kodi again and still nada...

thoughts? maybe there is another (trusted) repository?

deb http://http.debian.net, or deb http://ftp.debian.net...?

(Be aware that this will get you the Debian version of Kodi, which is modified from the official version. It shouldn't make a difference in most respects, but - if it chokes - then support is necessarily limited because of those changes.)

http, I copied and pasted from the support page
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kod...nux#Debian
I seem to remember it working (updating that is) but will try ftp just to see if it was perhaps a typo in the docs

I'm totally open (would prefer i think) to using original Kodi code though am not sure what repo I would use, thoughts?

edit. tried http://ftp.debian.net, no go. additional thoughts encouraged (as I am stumped)

We don't provide official packages for debian, so unless want to compile yourself, debian unstable repos are your best bet
