OK, so I made a nasty discovery. If I use this script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# Mapped to special://home/, default is ~/.kodi
KODI_DATA=/home/kodi/.kodi-matrix

# Execute Kodi
/home/kodi/bin-kodi-matrix/lib/kodi/kodi-x11

The usual home directory ~/.kodi is used.

This version of the script works as expected (notice the export keyword):

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# Mapped to special://home/, default is ~/.kodi
export KODI_DATA=/home/kodi/.kodi-matrix

# Execute Kodi
/home/kodi/bin-kodi-matrix/lib/kodi/kodi-x11
