Been using Kodi (and XBMC before that) for many years. I just did a fresh install of Kodi on the latest version of Linux Mint (an Ubuntu derivative)

Trying to install pocketcdg so that I can play all the .cdg/.mp3 karaoke music I bought (rather than on my (cheaply made) standalone karaoke player).

This is what I did so far:

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install kodi-game-libretro

Download Kodi Libretro Buildbot Game Addons Repository from https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=345619

Sprocket->Add-ons->Install from zip file-> <file I just downloaded>

Sprocket->Add-ons->Install from repository->Kodi Libretro Buildbot Game Addons->Game add-ons->Emulators->PocketCDG

At this point, Kodi pops up an error, stating the PocketCDG requires game.libretro version 1.0.0.

What am I doing wrong?

Figured out the problem.

You have to install Kodi from the same repository as libretro. So the install line should be:

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install kodi kodi-game-libretro

Unfortunately, once I have it installed, I can't get it to run. I have a parallel post regarding this problem: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=351097
