@pgjensen (and others)

We'd prefer it if you use pastebin websites to 'dump' any of your kodi or compilation logs etcetera, and keep the Kodi forum itself as lean & clean as possible. Just like it says just above the "Post Reply" button.

Thanks for your cooperation.

@marantz yes , maybe

The patch work with alpha 1 , I only do patch for (git ) tag/release, never for master.

[pgjensen]

I created an issue in Github for Alpha 2 not working with the most recent patch.  It may be a while before I can get to resolving, so hopefully someone else can take a look.

I am getting an error running kodi headless, compiled myself using the same kodi build info from the docker file, but for ubuntu 16.04.  I have some issues with docker, so I try and build myself and run straight on my server.  Thoughts?

If I build it with the patch applied I get to:
21:34:24.403 T:140737353537536  NOTICE: Log level changed to "LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG"
21:34:24.403 T:140737353537536  NOTICE: CMediaSourceSettings: loading media sources from special://masterprofile/sources.xml

21:59:45.107 T:140737353537536   FATAL: unable to load settings

If I build it without the patch applied I get further than the above (expected FATAL running without headless):

Whats the current situation with Kodi master and this? Did these patches from @topfs2 every get merged?

Asking as I have a headless Raspberry Pi for music that crashes after a few months. I'd love to be able to reduce the power usage from the GUI as well.

[MrTarantula]

I don't think that patch got merged, but this PR might be relevant to your interests.

[a1rwulf]

I don't think that patch got merged, but this PR might be relevant to your interests.

 However it takes a different approach.
My patch renders to an off screen rendernode instead of not creating a gui at all and is tied to linux gbm.

[docwra]

i remember a patch years ago that was rejected that simply reduced the framrate of the main render loop to 10fps or something. It reduced power usage significantly

[pgjensen]

Any updates on a working Alpha 2 patch?

Great to see people are working on this. I dont understand the use case. Are you running kodi in a headless server? Docker? Whats linux gbm? Some links could be enough for me.

 Linux GBM is kodi directly talking to the kernel graphics stack via drm/kms (no X server).
My use case is using kodi as musicplayer (analog audio) and control it via kore.
But your use cases would work as well if you have an intel gpu.
