Kodi package includes both an ARMv6 and ARMv7 binary, which is autoselected accordindly to which version of the Raspberry Pi you have for best performance. If you select the open-source OpenGL driver, it won't work! Kodi will only function if you are using the Broadcom drivers! This is the "Original non-GL desktop driver" on raspi-config, which is currently the default on the Raspbian images. Or just add a new line in /boot/config.txt with: Raspbian by default, doesn't play some video codecs like VP6, VP8, MJPEG, Theora, etc, so to be able to play this codecs, you need to go to "raspi-config" -> "Interfacing Options" -> "Camera" -> Enable,
The Pi 3B / 3B+ may do 720p 10bit and 1080p 10bit low bitrate only! For that you need at least 300MB of RAM for the GPU.
Kodi 18 on the Raspberry Pi now supports 10bit video files (at least h264 and h265) but they are software decoded. If you have a RPi 2/3, the recommended is 256 MB of RAM for the GPU. Kodi on Raspbian requires a minimum of 160 MB of RAM dedicated to the GPU to function properly! This can be done by running "raspi-config" -> "Advanced Options" -> "Memory Split" -> 160. kodi-vfs-libarchive - compressed files supportĪlternatively and easier, if you are running Raspbian with Desktop, you can just open the graphical package manager "Dont know the name of it" on the upper left corner menu, search for "Kodi" and install the packages you want. Here are some more recommend binary addons to install (only for Kodi 18 and above): This can be done in a virtual terminal by running the respective commands:Ĭode: Select all sudo apt-get install kodi-peripheral-joystick kodi-pvr-iptvsimple kodi-inputstream-adaptive kodi-inputstream-rtmpĪfter that, restart Kodi and check if the binary addons are enabled in Kodi interface, if not, enable them. To install it you first need to update/refresh packages, and then install the main package. Latest stable version available on Raspbian: But now, the latest stable version is available on the repos, compiled against OpenGLES, optimized for the RPi. In the time of the first Raspbian Stretch image released by the RPi Foundation, there was only available the generic Debian Kodi version (17.1) which is compiled against OpenGL, so not optimal to run on the RPi (at least by this time), it runs very slow.
You will see that after all, it is not so hard. For a copy of the original one see here:įor a temporary way to install Kodi 18.X on Raspbian Buster, only for Raspberry Pi 3 and below for now, see post #3 of this thread.Īfter so many posts about people getting problems on installing Kodi on Raspbian, specially on the new Raspbian Stretch, this is a complete guide on how to do it, and an attempt to keep things together in the same place.
