Hello everybody,
first post here (so please go easy on me
)
I knew XBMC on the desktop linux PC, but never used it that much.
I own a Raspberry Pi model B+ and I decided to give Kodi try. Until now: amazing.
Raspbian 8;
Kodi 15.1.
What I want to accomplish is (it works partially) to have Kodi:
- starting automatically at boot;
- with both the options to go back to the shell (exit) and shutdown the RPi.
I tried 4 methods:
a) I had a look inside /etc/init.d/kodi script and tried changing "ENABLED" to 1.
The script doesn't launch Kodi anyway, neither at reboot nor manually with sudo /etc/init.d/kodi start.
b) I found the How-To at http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Autostart_Kodi_for_Linux; switching the init.d script with the one at this page, Kodi starts, but I don't have the option to shutdown the system. I can only go back at the command line (exit). And from what I understand the "standalone" thing keeps re-spawning kodi every time it's terminated (although one can edit that line).
c) I can also just add a "kodi &" command into my .bashrc; but Kodi starts every time I login via ssh (unwanted) and again I don't have the shutdown option.
I think I'm going to use the method B.
Is there any option to have the shutdown entry back?
Thanks.
