v18 Unable to install Kodi 18 on Debian 9.5
#1
Hi community!

I'm a fan user since XBox version... I always find solutions for my problems in the forum, but this time, I think I need help...

Here is the situation:
I installed Kodi 17 on Debian 9.5 months ago. And it rocks!
But I have issues with this version: often, Kodi shutsdown itself, wihtout any warning on log messages. Often after 1 hour playing video.
I do my research work, tries things, but the only solution I really found is to update to Kodi 18.
Here comes the real problem... Kodi 17 was on official debian packages (nice logo Kodi by Debian in the GUI Wink ).

As said in the offical installation guide, I removes Kodi (remove & purge).
Added repositpry ppa:team-xbmc/ppa (veeeeeeeeery long by the way!)
Now,apt-get update says :
Code:
E: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/eoan/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
apt policy kodi says:
Code:
Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2:17.1+dfsg1-3
  Version table:
     2:17.1+dfsg1-3 500
        500 http://debian.proxad.net/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages
Grrr, I don't want 17.1 version!

I think it's the package error that prevents v18 installation, but I can't find a solution or help suitable for me...

I have no more ideas, and it's really frustrating!! Help would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks...

You can't (shouldn't) even try using any ubuntu ppas on debian, on debian your only viable option is to build from source.

Debian has its own views on how to package kodi and what (not) to include.

Our PPA is basically set up for the *buntu distros. Perhaps not your cup of tea, but Kodi runs quite well on Ubuntu Linux, albeit in 8-bit only when using VDPAU (thanks Nvidia!).

Oh thanks!
Miss that.
It's when I added repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa it added itself the ubuntu packages.

So, let's go with "building from source" !

I upgraded to Debian 10 Buster with hopes of testing 18.2 without success. Even after adding/editing to Sources List from what I found online. https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-lin...-on-linux/

I'll stick with 17.6 for now...Just wish ServerWMC wouldn't crash, Stretch had this problem, just can't recall how I solved it.

Just FYI debian patches Kodi sources in unexpected/funky ways to comply with their "policies", ubuntu kodi package which does not come from the ppa inherits that crap from debian,
AFAIK "stock" debian kodi is often frowned upon by the devs and no support is provided on the forums.

That's right, I'd forgotten about that, thx.
