HOW-TO:Install Kodi on Raspberry Pi
|
The basic hardware you will need is
- the R-Pi board itself
- a power supply (Micro-USB, 5V, upto 2500 mA)
- a (micro)SDHC memory card to install the software. (Because video decoding is more resource-intensive than many other operations, it may be more important to have a fast/high quality memory card for Kodi than for other uses.)
Basic options
- Easy / Kodi centric distributions
- OSMC - Home Installing • Wiki • Support Forum
- XBian - Installing • FAQ • Starters guide • Forum
- Advanced / can be used with Kodi
Note that Arch ARM provides different Kodi packages optimized for different RPi models. All builds offer some flavor of HW accelerated decoding just like LibreELEC. The following packages will supply the current stable version of Kodi:
kodi-rpi for RPi 3/4/400
kodi-rpi-legacy for RPi 2
Users wanting to track the master branch may select:
kodi-rpi-git for RPi 3/4/400 only
- Batocera Linux - Learn More
- Buildroot - For experienced users only !
- CarPC - Guide
- Raspberry Pi OS - Up-to-date versions (Currently Leia 18.7) of Kodi are now on the default Raspbian repositories. See full guide here.
- Recalbox - Installing
- RetroPie - See full guide here
Specific install guides
For installs that don't directly include and/or boot into Kodi automatically.
Raspberry Pi OS
(Current Version - 18.7)
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install kodi
- PVR Addons
- PVR Addons can be installed directly from the command line:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAMEHERE
but replace PACKAGENAMEHERE with the PVR addon required.
example: sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-hts
The PVR client add-on should now be installed. If Kodi was already running, restart it to load the add-on.
RetroPie
Here's a youtube guide:
