Hey, i'm running a webserver on my raspberry pi, and i really want to run kodi on the same OS, raspbian, instead of formatting or using multiple SD cards or multibooting. I've installed kodi using

Code:

sudo apt-get install kodi

, but when i run

Code:

kodi

or just open it from the Applications menu, it doesn't start. Do you guys have any tutorials for setting up kodi 17 on raspbian OS, or could any of you tell me how to get it running?

I'd take a look at this. Haven't tested it myself but it seems to describe what you're looking for

OSMC is based on debian so you have full reign to use apt and everything available there.

Installing Kodi on Raspbian is the same as installing it on Debian / Ubuntu and other Linux systems with apt package managers:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install kodi

Note that you need to update your system first if you aren't running the latest Raspbian image, or if you don't have updated it for a while.

An easier way to install it is via the included package manager on Pixel.

You also need to set the GPU to at least 160 MB or higher for 1080p playback. The recommend for RPi 2 and 3 is 256 MB.

Than you can run it through the desktop menu icon or by running it in a terminal with:

Code:

kodi

If after it, it doesn't work, post the error message that appears on launch or the full Kodi log like explained here: http://kodi.wiki/view/log_file

I did everything it said in TheCrowFather's post, and enabled debugging and it won't start. It remains stuck in the "KODI" startup screen.

Here's the log file. It appears to start repeating itself after a while.

You seem to have a corrupted or missing database, MyVideos107.db.
Reset your kodi settings by removing ~/.kodi (it is a hidden directory where all Kodi settings are stored) and try again.
