Install on Raspberry Pi OS

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi

When it is launched, it will ask if we want to enable "version check" add-on. We can enable it. If we want to change mind, we need to go to Kodi -> Add-on -> Box icon on top-left corner. Install from repository -> Services and select "Version Check".

Some tips

  • When I use "htop" from another machine to check the memory usage when I watch pluto.tv, it uses 580MB.
  • Inputstream adaptive missing? sudo apt-get install kodi-inputstream-adaptive It works on my Kodi 19.
  • If I hit 'ESC' key, it will bring up a Kodi menu and put the video playing in the background. To go back to the video, hit the tab key. See Best Kodi Keyboard Shortcuts You Should Know in 2020.

Stream video to browser

How to stream video to browser with Kodi. Kodi is not exactly a media server, it works as a media center. However, with plex, you can set up your media center and have access to your media from your web browser.

Add-on

Youtube

Tips:

  • youtube.com/activate and google.com/device go to the same place.
  • The "project name" should not contain any space or use the project ID (check the URL to find the ID),
  • It is pain to enter the credentials API key, client ID & client Secret in Kodi. We can also create a json file (~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.youtube/api_keys.json); see the Github page. It's a good idea to save the file for future use if we want to re-installl Youtube addon on Kodi. NOTE: ~/.kodi is a soft link to /opt/retropie/configs/ports/kodi for the Kodi installed in Raspbian Lite. So we essentially need to back up the corresponding file from there.
  • You have to enter the authorization codes two times. On the 2nd time, I will get an error 403 - access denied. The trick is to add a test user and click the button of "publish the app" on OAuth page (not sure if both are needed). At the 2nd time verification, we won't see the 403 error. But we need to go to "Advanced" and click the "Allow" button.
