Kodi (formerly XBMC) for OMV - test phase

  • to whom it may concern, and want to have 2 in 1 machine (nas and htpc)


    I managed to compile and install kodi 15 in OMV instaled in virtualbox and i setup kodi to start at boot


    Moved the Guide to the Guides section:
    Kodi (formerly XBMC) for OMV


    (There is just the guide, Questions / Problems / Diskussions can continue here)


    keep'n touch and suggestions are welcome

  • Great !! Amazing !!
    XMBC in OMV is the most thing i'm waiting !


    My OMV is installed on a SSD and my datas are on a HDD, if you could give the possibility to mount and HDD on the plugin, that's would be very helpfull :)


    It would work with an APU AMD A45300 ?


    Congrats !

  • Thanks for these instructions !


    I replaced this line :
    apt-get install xorg xserver-xorg-video-intel libva-intel-vaapi-driver


    by:
    apt-get install xorg xserver-xorg-video-ati


    and i followed these instructions for the propieraty drivers AMD/ATI :
    https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary#AMD_Catalyst_12.6


    Everything is OK but you need to correct this line:
    ./make install
    by
    make


    and ./make install
    by
    sudo make install


    At the end, everything works perfectly !! :D


    But ... I don't have sound, the NAS is connected on my TV over HDMI

  • Hi. Thx for guide. It work like a charm.
    But i have problem with autostart kodi on my nuc.


    Omv runs.
    But i don't understand well how run kodi at startup.
    1 point from this site http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Autostart_Kodi_for_Linux
    not work well.
    I change exec su -c "xinit /usr/bin/xbmc --standalone -- -nocursor :0" $USER
    to exec su -c "xinit /root/kodi --standalone -- -nocursor :0" $USER
    where i compile all.



    Please help me


    PS. Sorry for my english.

  • For autostart kodi at startup try only step 3 from that page 3. Add a new init script
    and change this on script


    Code
    # user
    RUN_AS=sterfield


    to

    Code
    # user
    RUN_AS=root



    and ofcourse


    Code
    # startup args
    DAEMON_OPTS=" /usr/local/bin/xbmc --standalone -- :0"


    with path to xbmc

  • Hi there!


    I just tried to install kodi on openmediavault but it turnoud out that after trying to start kodi with "xinit kodi" I get an error stating that there were no Screens found.
    I have an Intel HD4600 (Xeon 1225v3) iGPU. All the steps of the tutorial were completed without any errors until I came to "xinit kodi"


    Error:

    Code
    Fatal server error:
    no screens found


    /var/log/Xorg.0.log



    Does anyone have a clue why I get this?


    I tested it previously on a VM (Virtual Box). I had the same issue in a VM (Host: Win 8.1 on same Hardware) but after I installed the vm addins from the CD Image I was able to start kodi from the VM without any issues anymore.
    Did I miss something regarding any intel HD drivers? Because in the list of the Graph Chips supported in the Log File there are no Haswell iGPU Models listed! So maybe the driver doesent support the HD4600 ?


    Thank you in advance!

  • I tried to solve the issue by myself and came across that the
    standard intel dirvers from the wheezy repo doesent support haswell
    iGPUs. So I installed them from the wheezy backports with :

    Code
    apt-get install -t wheezy-backports xserver-xorg-video-intel


    Now I get following error with following Log when trying to run "xinit kodi":


    Error:

    Code
    > Warning:          Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols
    >                   Ignoring extra symbols
    Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
    Unrecognized deviceID 0x41a
    xinit: connection to X server lost


    Xorg.0.log is too long for a port here so I pasted it to pastebin. Her the Link:
    http://pastebin.com/Z5DrbN5g


    So
    it seems that now the Intel HD4600 is stated to be supported (see at
    the beginning of the LOG) but for some reason it will not work. I also
    restarted but it didn't work.
    So I am also reading a lot that with
    Debian Testing (Jessie) it works but there should be a solution with
    wheezy. If OMV would work on Jessie I would try that..


    Thank you!

  • I updated already to the 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 before I followed the Steps in the Tutorial.
    I will definately try to install the experimental intel drivers an then recompile kodi..




    try to uninstall kodi, clean meake and compile again with newest drivers


    https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-backports/xserver-xorg-video-intel


    Thanks for your hint. I did not try that!
    I will install OMV again because I messed too much with all these repos, installs, Xorg configs etc around..
    Clean install -> Clean update to Backport Kernel (from WebUI) -> Install of the backport/experimental drivers -> Compile Kodi -> Cross my fingers -> "xinit kodi" :)


    Thanks for your help
    and greetings from germany

  • tested before this new installation old XBMC version and that is very slow ( running with CPU to 100% )


    I have installed a new OVM version ( openmediavault_0.5.48 i386 ) for running XBMC / KODI

    Kodi (formerly XBMC) for OMV
    *
    omv-update ( no problem )
    apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config ( also no problem )


    apt-get install software-properties-common ( cannot found packet )


    same error with amd64 version ( openmediavault_0.5.48_amd64.iso )

    A lot of times, you get that error if the file is not executable (chmod +x) or you are not running as root (may be necessary).
