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.

Install to USB

  • On RPI 3B+, I can directly install Kodi/LibreElec to USB and boot from it.
  • On RPI 3B, it's a 2-step process.
    • The OS contains 2 partitions. One is fat32 and the other is ext4. For LibreElec case, the fat32 partition took only 511.7M.
    • I first install the Kodi/LibreElec to SD card. Then move the rootfs/STORAGE partition (ext4) from SD card to USB drive. I also need to open cmdline.txt file from the fat32 partition and modify the 2nd UUID (like, ab60c86b-b9bd-4048-ab59-2f570bce4662, below obtained by using the blkid command) to match it with my USB drive.
    boot=UUID=0603-1735 disk=UUID=ab60c86b-b9bd-4048-ab59-2f570bce4662 quiet

    As we can see below, the original /STORAGE partition from SD card (/dev/mmcblk0p2 or /var/media/STORAGE) is empty. And the new STORAGE partition is on the USB drive (/dev/sda1).

Remote controller and CEC

  • Kodi wiki
    • CEC. Kodi comes with libCEC (CEC abstraction and interface library from Pulse-Eight) which allows control of the Kodi input over the standard TV remote that comes with your TV.
    • Remote controls
  • If your TV and media center both support HDMI-CEC (the CEC stands for Consumer Electronics Control), you'll be able to use the TV remote to control Kodi. How to Set Up a Kodi Remote Control

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.
  • Some instruction based on an old version of addon How to install the YouTube Kodi addon 2017
  • The Youtube addon does not provide much more information about videos (eg how popular a video). So it is better to use the 'cast' function to send videos from Android or PC's browsers to Kodi. See Web interface/remote control via HTTP.
