At a minumum, the user must be a member of video and audio. This will allow the user to do hardware video acceleration and interact with the audio hardware. One will experience terrible performance and the inability to use any audio if the user is not in at least these groups.

			Is there any reason why the first two lines of code aren't combined here?

			<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
			sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config
			sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
			sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
			sudo apt-get update
			</syntaxhighlight>
			<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
			sudo apt-get install kodi
			</syntaxhighlight>

			Shouldn't it be this?

			<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
			sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config software-properties-common
			sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
