I'm using Kodi 18.7 (installed via "sudo apt install kodi") on an up to date Raspberry Pi OS on a Raspberry Pi 4 (Model B, 4 GiB RAM). The Pi is connected via 1 Gb/s ethernet. The only peripheral is a Bluetooth remote.
When I launch Kodi right after the installation the UI feels extremely unresponsive (about 3 fps). I didn't add any sources and left the configuration to its default.
Other desktop applications (Chromium with youtube) perform as fast as expected.
Is there some hardware acceleration to be installed/configured? Do I have to make some special settings to make Kodi run on an RPi 4?
Searching the internet for "slow Kodi UI" mainly brings up scam pages, playback issues and outdated information.
Thanks for your help.
