Is there a way to install Kodi v21 on a Pi4 with Bookworm (Lite)?

I have tried with Flatpak, but it seems that the package being downloaded is for amd64 only.

Any help appreciated

I have built deb files for Kodi 21 for bookworm, but I need to work out how to provide them.
It's not trivial with apt to include both kodi 20 and kodi 21 in the repo.
And removing kodi 20 for kodi 21 may be too soon at this (21.0) stage.

The Flatpak is also provided for aarch64 if you have that.

Thank you.

But believe RPi is 'arm64'

But if aarch64 and arm64 are equivalent, I wonder what I do wrong.
I did this:

Installed Flatpak:

Code:

sudo apt install flatpak

Code:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Installed the Kodi v21 Flatpak:

Code:

flatpak install flathub tv.kodi.Kodi

But when I try to start Kodi with:

Code:

flatpak run tv.kodi.Kodi

I get:

Code:

app/tv.kodi.Kodi/x86_64/master not installed

Any chance you can share the deb files for Kodi 21?
I've tried building them for bookworm (Pi5) but ran into issues I couldn't figure out.

@clriis
I got flatpak version running by launching using "flatpak run --filesystem=/run/udev:ro --arch=aarch64 --command=kodi tv.kodi.Kodi"
It did not accept any keyboard input without specifying --filesystem=/run/udev:ro. Found hint for resolving it in https://github.com/flathub/tv.kodi.Kodi/issues/228
Still have not managed to get HDMI CEC working in flatpak version and there seems to be some other limitations as well. Hopefully there will be Kodi 21 deb package available soon.

Kodi 21 for RPiOS bookworm is available through apt.
See forum post.

I cant see kodi21 in the default repo. Only kodi. Which repo pls?

I have
Package: kodi                                                                                                                       
Version: 2:20.1+dfsg-1 
APT-Sources: http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main arm64 Packages

But no kodi21

(Yes I've run an apt update just now first)

[popcornmix]

Are you using RPiOS bookworm? It will be available by default.
(The deb repo is http://archive.raspberrypi.com/debian)

Thanks.

Yes, I am using the RPi image... Although I don't remember, I must have upgraded from Bullseye to Bookworm and I guess I somehow missed the raspi.list source update that's needed. So I've just fixed my sources. As this was still set to bullseye

deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ bookworm main


Now I can see kodi21. Makes sense.
