if you enter/exit/enter tv or movies does it not update? It should if its using the same shared mysql database as the kodi headless..
Yes , look recent added movies / tvshow , kodi do some "cache" on the main screen ( not request each time)
Great to see some development for headless Kodi. Anyone knows whether Kodi 18 may support this natively?
I am not interested in a docker, but prefer to run Librelec Kodi in a headless VM on Unraid. There is an image available on Unraid forums (
https://lime-technology.com/forums/topic...es/?page=4), but this is not updated. Anyone using this and knows whether possible to update?
Is there a patch for kodi 18 yet?
Not yet !
I 'll start watching with beta , because code don't move as much.
Kodi 18 (leila) isn't beta or alpha , it's still in dev.
i don't want to redo the patch every week ^^
A nightly isn't a release
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/releases
Alpha 1 is out. Any luck with a patch? I'd like to start using this with my Android SHIELD TV since Kodi v17 freezes on me quite often and I was hoping v18 would be more stable.
xbmc/kodi was never really headless , the patch fake thing to allow starting event is the gui can't open.
But you still need X lib to build.
Your post let me see that the launch command don't work anymore ^^
Quote:CMD ["/opt/kodi-server/lib/kodi/kodi.bin","--headless","--no-test","--nolirc","-p"]
Quote:CMD ["/opt/kodi-server/lib64/kodi/kodi-x11","--headless","--no-test","--nolirc","-p"]
My problem so far is in how you build on Linux to a different directory than default. I haven't historically used docker and have built myself, but I may need to switch over.
I got past my previous problem by manually updating the "kodi" script in /bin
./kodi --headless
Unable to find path to Kodi data files!
The same applies if I go straight to the binary in /lib/kodi
./kodi-x11 --headless
Unable to find path to Kodi data files!
I think these are not "headless" issues though and are related to other issues when I'm either building or in the source. I'll keep digging and also try docker.
Hum ok , I launch only in portable mode , but kodi 18 change many things ( compilation chain , etc ^^)
seems harder this time ^^
I got through the userdata issues, but now I'm getting seg faults when running kodi either in normal mode or portable mode with clean files. I built the same as the Dockerfile from scratch, too.
/opt/kodi-server-18.0a1/bin$ ./kodi --headless --no-test --no-lirc -p
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I was able to get past the Seg Fault issues by adding more IsHeadless() checks within Application.cpp anytime the ShowSplash method was called or on CApplication::Render()
I'm getting a ton of Audio errors now that I'll try and get through.
