I manage to find the solution to my problem.

Here's what i did to get KODI working...

GCC installation (needed for the NVIDIA driver) (I have an NVIDIA graphic card in my HP Microserver so can output directly to a TV via HDMI)
apt-get install build-essential gcc g++ make binutils linux-headers-`uname -r`

then for KODI :
omv-update
apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config
apt-get install software-properties-common
apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev libdrm-dev doxygen swig git-core

apt-get install automake autopoint bison build-essential ccache cmake curl cvs default-jre fp-compiler gawk gdc gettext gperf libasound2-dev libass-dev libavcodec-dev libavfilter-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libbluetooth-dev libbluray-dev libbluray1 libboost-dev libboost-thread-dev libbz2-dev libcap-dev libcdio-dev libcec-dev libcec1 libcrystalhd-dev libcrystalhd3 libcurl3 libcurl4-gnutls-dev libcwiid-dev libcwiid1 libdbus-1-dev libenca-dev libflac-dev libfontconfig-dev libfreetype6-dev libfribidi-dev libglew-dev libiso9660-dev libjasper-dev libjpeg-dev libltdl-dev liblzo2-dev libmad0-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libmodplug-dev libmp3lame-dev libmpeg2-4-dev libmpeg3-dev libmysqlclient-dev libnfs-dev libogg-dev libpcre3-dev libplist-dev libpng-dev libpostproc-dev libpulse-dev libsamplerate-dev libsdl-dev libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libshairport-dev libsmbclient-dev libsqlite3-dev libssh-dev libssl-dev libswscale-dev libtiff-dev libtinyxml-dev libtool libudev-dev libusb-dev libva-dev libva-egl1 libva-tpi1 libvdpau-dev libvorbisenc2 libxml2-dev libxmu-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev libxslt1-dev libxt-dev libyajl-dev mesa-utils nasm pmount python-dev python-imaging python-sqlite unzip yasm zip zlib1g-dev

cd $HOME/kodi
git clone -b Helix git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
cd xbmc
./bootstrap
apt-get remove libtag1-dev
make -C lib/taglib
make -C lib/taglib install
./configure
make
make install

apt-get install xorg

NVIDIA DRIVER (download from nvidia website (use wget)):
sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.72.run

CREATE a conf file for Xorg for the display:
nvidia-xconfig
cp XF86Config xorg.conf

Launch Kodi
xinit /usr/bin/kodi-standalone -- -nocursor :0

Hope this helps someone

Update...

I found out what the problem was, when trying to upload the omv extras repository via the Web UI, it didn't work.
So i reverted to do it manually (http://omv-extras.org/simple/i…install-omv-extras-plugin) and that's when i saw that the apt-transport-https was missing. So i installed it and eventually after a few refresh/clean/reload, everything appeared in the Web UI and i was able to install everything.
it used to work straight away in previous version so i don't know if it's my installation that is wrong or if the new version is not a "auto-refreshing / auto-updating" as before?

I'm still struggling with compiling Kodi at the moment. I have posted my question in the relevant thread but can give an update here once i found out what's wrong.

Hope this helps others...

Hi,

i'm having some problems following the guide.
I have an nvidia card to start with but i don't think that's a problem (or at least no yet)
I got to the make steps and i get the following error. Any idea as to what the problem could be?
I'm running OMV 1.19

root@openmediavault:~/kodi# make -C lib/taglib
make: Entering directory `/root/kodi/lib/taglib'
make -C taglib-1.8/build
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/kodi/lib/taglib/taglib-1.8/build'
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/kodi/lib/taglib/taglib-1.8/build'
make: *** [libtaglib.so] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/root/kodi/lib/taglib'

/root/kodi/lib/taglib/taglib-1.8/build is indeed empty but i don't know why?

Thanks.

Ok, so i've installed 1.19 (krazilec) from scratch in the end.
One thing which is weird is that the IP address doesn't appear when booting. I've tried reinstalling twice and i still have the same problem. The workaround is to do an ifconfig. I don't know if anyone has had the same issue? Maybe i'm doing something wrong but i don't understand as i can see the DHCP step being successful and it can download the debian packages during the installation and i can access it after having found the actual IP address.

I'll hold off for 2.0.x when it is really official.

Another thing that was strange is on the Update manager page. There is quite a lot of them. Should i update them all? I tried to but it didn't work. Maybe too many in one go?
I've also installed the OMV-extras.org plugin and i was expecting to see options to install sickbeard, couchpotato, etc... But i don't. Have I missed something or a repository ?

I have found this on the forum for Kodi : Kodi (formerly XBMC) for OMV Is that correct ?

Thanks again everyone for all the help.

Dennis, so you're recommending a fresh install too ?

Hi Shadowzero,

thanks for your reply !

I am using Raid 5 (4 physical disks) with an ext4 filesystem. I'm hoping that's a plus?
I thought the new installation might be the way forward but i'm being a bit cautious as in case i miss to backup some important configuration files...
Will the mounting of drives not be automatic by OMV ?

this definitely helps

thanks again !

Hi,

i'm actually very behind in the updates and the system feels a bit unstable at time (nothing major). Also i'm still running XBMC as a media player so it would probably be good to upgrade to Kodi.
I'm running 0.5.60 on a HP Proliant N40L.
So i was wondering if there was a way to upgrade to the latest version directly?
Or if i should consider a complete reinstallation of OMV ? but in that case, is there a way to make sure that i don't lose any data on the data disks?
(OMV is installed on its own hardrive)

Many Thanks.
Best Regards,

Thank you very much for the script !!
It's great !!

Hi ryecoaaron,

you've already been very helpful with kernel update as at least i can get some sound so thank you very much for that.
i will look at your link as indeed, it looks like a similar problem. worse comes to worse, i can livewith no sound in the menu rather than no sound in the videos.
If i do find something useful, i'll post my findings in case it might of help to somebody else.

thanks again !!

ok, so i'm trying a shorter post after in case it works better.
the install the debian backport 3.2 and indeed it was improved things. thanks for that. i now have both aplay -l and -L working :

i also have found this article : ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFre…ument/gpu-hdmi-audio.html which is very interesting and i've followed it.

I've changed my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to have the following

options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=-1

I've changed my /etc/pulse/default.pa to have the following

load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,7

So i've had two results. one where i get the sound on the xbmc menu when using the keyboard (but not the mouse) and that's keeping a .asoundrc file but no sound in the videos

And then in XMBC, i've set in system > audio output >
Audio output HDMI
Audio output device custom with the value hw:0,7
Passthrough output device custom with the value hw:0,7

With this i've managed to have the sound in the video but i've lost the menu sound using the keyboard.

Overall, some good progress but i'm clearly missing something else.
Again, i'm asking for some help and greatly appreciate your patience ?

Many thanks !!

Hi,

i wanted to post an update in which i detailed some of my findings but when submitting i got this : This message was flagged as spam and has been denied.

wow, i'm impressed, i didn't think i'd get an answer so quickly. So thanks ryecoaaron !!

i forgot to mention the most important thing, which is that aplay doesn't find the card

aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)

about the unmute, i was trying to do it via alsamixer but it's not working. see the attached screenshot.

And yes, in XMBC, i've set in system > audio output >
Audio output HDMI
Audio output device hdmi
Passthrough output device hdmi

Any other ideas ?

Thanks again !

Hi,

it's my first post so i've made any mistake, then please forgive me. i'll do better next time.
I'm also new to OMV as a distrib and a bit of a noob when it comes to linux.

I'm trying to setup an HP Proliant N40L as a NAS / HTPC.
So i've got OMV (0.4) installed successfully with 4x2TB in raid 5 (ext4). that part seems to work.
The next part is installing XMBC which i've managed as i can see XMBC on my TV via HDMI plugged on an asus GT 610 nvidia video card.

Now, the problem is that i can't get the audio to work. I've tried installing and reinstalling alsa but still doesn't work.
I've spend 3 whole days on this searching the net and have finally resorted to ask the question.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks in advanced !

here are a few output :
