Just +1'ng this effort to get a true headless option for Kodi.
My use case: Kodi running on RPi as a Music server connected to powered speakers via an audio card, managed via web interface and also smartphone apps.
Wishlist: dockerized kodi that doesnt burn cycles rendering a GUI, no X server running uselessly. Fully functional kodi otherwise. Being able to switch on and off the GUI on ocassion (e.g. while doing some maintenance or troubleshooting) via command line would be awesome.
Current staus: running headless thanks to the RPi support of screen detection bypass, at the cost of the CPU rendering a GUI that noone uses.
