Instructions (Tested on Pi2 and Pi3):
- Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/popcornmix/xbmc cd xbmc
- Apply ffmpeg patch
Edit: tools/depends/target/ffmpeg/autobuild.sh
and add the following between line 132 & 133--cpu=cortex-a7 \
- install dependencies

- Run Bootstrap
./bootstrap
- Run configure, this will take a long time
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-ccache --enable-external-libraries --disable-goom --disable-hal --disable-vaapi --disable-vdpau --enable-avahi --disable-libbluray --disable-dvdcss --disable-debug --disable-joystick --enable-mid --disable-nfs --disable-profiling --enable-rsxs --enable-rtmp --disable-vaapi --disable-vdadecoder --disable-external-ffmpeg --disable-optical-drive
- Make, DO NOT use make -j4, 1GB ram is not enough for compiling with four cores
./make -j3
- Get some coffee or Beer, Its going to take a long time
- Install
sudo make install
- Run
kodi
Thank you for this!
But I’ve got one problem – too slowly interface.. CPU load over 80% on all cores.
(RPi2, Ubuntu Mate 16.04)
Do you have the gpu driver enabled?
To check:
sudo apt-get mesa-utils
and then run
glxgears
If they work smoothly gpu driver is installed.
I am getting an error like this in Pi 3
Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.
Are bootstrap, configure, and make files supposed to be in ffmpeg? They were not there after following the steps (assuming I didn’t mess up somehow), however I did find boostrap and configure in depends folder. No luck with make though.
Just a quick question: does this also apply to a current Raspbian version?
Thanks and Regards,
Xian
You can use Kodi on the raspberry pi since it is the open-source GPU driver which you will find very helpful. I have used this once but encountered with one problem then I have stopped using it.
