Hi, I'm still new on the raspbian system . I tried to install Kodi into my Banana PI ( installed Raspbian OS) .
I followed the instruction step by step from the page https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt...hp?t=99866

But I getting errors when start KODI and I cant start KODI at all.

Error Code

Code:

root@bananapi:/home/pi# kodi-standalone
* failed to open vchiq instance
* failed to open vchiq instance
* failed to open vchiq instance
/usr/bin/kodi --standalone  has exited uncleanly 3 times in the last 10 seconds.
Something is probably wrong

I searched google for any solution, but nothing can help me

I'm currently running Rasbian (debian 7) on BananaPi M1

Sorry for my bad english.
Thank you

Banana pi is _VERY_ different to raspberry pi.
vchiq is a device specific to the BCM VC4 GPU, it's not present in mali gpu on your banana pi.
Thus raspberry pi kodi build will not work on banana pi at all because kodi on pi is (very well) optimized to run directly on VC4 without Xorg.
AFAIK kodi developers refuse (and they are right!) to support Allwinner SoCs, refer to banana pi specific forums to find builds compatible with your hardware.
Or buy a true raspberry pi, I'd recommend 2B.
