Note there are two versions of Kodi wandering around: apt-cache showpkg kodi | tail -3

2:18.2-1~stretch - xbmc-standalone (= ) xbmc-data (= ) xbmc (= ) kodi-standalone (= ) kodi-skin-estuary (= ) kodi-data (= )

2:17.6+dfsg1-4+b1 - kodi-api-pvr (= 5.2.1) kodi-api-guilib (= 5.11.0)

The dfsg1 versions are the "general" ones from debian; they are not optimised for Raspberry Pi (no hardware acceleration) and need xorg . Better choice for the Raspberry Pi are the ~stretch or ~jessie versions; they are hosted at http://archive.raspberrypi.org, so you will need a file in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory, e.g. kodi.list, containing the line: deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ stretch main ui

Run apt-get update to update your package lists. If you have upgraded to Raspbian Buster you will get a dependency conflict, because kodi-bin 2:18.2-1~stretch needs libcurl3, and buster only provides libcurl4.

You will need to downgrade libcurl4 to libcurl3, and then you can install kodi 2:18.2-1~stretch (which will work fine on Raspbian Buster). Easiest is to use aptitude install kodi=2:18.2-1~stretch, because this will give you scenarios to resolve the conflicts. You have to temporarily change your "buster" references to "stretch" to do this downgrade.

  • thanks for Your answer ill check it. For now i have back to stretch version of raspbian but with Your answer i can check buster. Ill let know is this work for me – Kenny Aug 1 '19 at 11:42
  • If you save the files from libcurl and libmariadbclient18 you can start kodi by replacing the Execstart = line in /etc/systemd/system/kodi.service by: Execstart = env LD_PRELOAD="/usr/local/src/libcurl.so.3 /usr/local/src/libmariadbclient.so.18" /usr/bin/kodi In /usr/local/src I have: /usr/local/src/libcurl.so.3 -> libcurl.so.4.4.0 /usr/local/src/libcurl.so.4.4.0 /usr/local/src/libmariadbclient.so.18 -> libmariadbclient.so.18.0.0 /usr/local/src/libmariadbclient.so.18.0.0 This way you can upgrade to buster dependencies, and still run kodi with the libraries it needs from stretch – Dingo35 Aug 11 '19 at 12:08
  • nice, i have to try – Kenny Aug 15 '19 at 6:47

I had very similar problem on buster. Solved by install xorg:

sudo apt install xorg

and start kodi in this way:

sudo xinit kodi-standalone
