Prepare your profile with a normal kodi , and then use this profile with the headless flavour.

For those looking to build on master, I forked sparklyballs' docker repo and modified the 5071.patch to apply to the latest kodi 16 master (Line 282 needed modification due to a recent change in GUIDialog.cpp).

Haven't built for docker but the 5071.patch applies to master and I built headless successfully to run on my server with videodb version 94.

I was more thinking kodi 15, as master was then but nice work

Sparklyballs' repo has the patch that will work on 15:

https://github.com/sparklyballs/docker-c...i-isengard

that patch doesn't seem to work, the patch fails on /xbmc/guilib/GUIDialog.cpp

So i replaced code manually but then my build failed...

Am i doing this right? i build helix fine...

git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git -b Isengard --depth=1 kodi
cd kodi
git apply --check 5071.patch
manually fix problem as mentioned above, remove that bit from the patch file
git apply 5071.patch
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/opt/kodi-server-isengard
make


UPDATE: trying "git reset --hard 9ff25f8" now, which commit should it be on? with this one i dont get conflicts when patching.

UPDATE2: same error

Use a C++11 compiler ... your issue is not related to the patch ... you cannot even build normal master.

yep, same reason ubuntu precise PPA builds are broken, gcc is too old. You need at least gcc 4.7, better 4.8

OK Thanks, I will try it with new version of gcc, i foolishly assumed that since i could build helix i could build isengard (seems not, which makes sense) also it was late so thats my excuse

I'm sure it will work once it's updated.

Thanks again.

Update : Forgot i have remote access, trying it now, seems to be working so far, thanks so much and i'm sure that was a silly mistake but thats how people learn

Ok so i tried it again...

git clone...
git reset --hard 9ff25f8
git apply....
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/opt/kodi-server
make -j2
make install
/opt/kodi-server/lib/kodi/kodi.bin --headless -p

just revert to the commit for rc1 - "git reset --hard 9ff25f8" or manually patch the files, or create a new patch yourself, it's mostly the same just a few changes in 1 file.

I believe this is a working patch for RC2 atleast it worked for me...

Hi to all,

first i have to say, i'm a really noob in compiling programs
but i have to ask you: has anyone really running Kodi (Isengard) Headless running

I tried all your hints without success

With Helix the server is running with web-server, so i can see my media, but i can not stream them to my phone (Yatse as client)
When i try to stream a mp3 the server crashes.

With Isengard i get the web-server not started.

So, i wish to run Isengard (Headless) on my Ubuntu Server (15.04 / 64 Bit) to update the MySQL-Server and stream my media to my mobile device (Android)
Is it possible to give me a Noob-Ready step by step or better already compiled zip/deb?

Thanks a lot for your help and comprehension
