Kodi

Repository

Add

Currently we need to use an external repository for Kodi 18.

sudo su
echo "deb https://pipplware.pplware.pt/pipplware/dists/buster/main/binary /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pipplware_buster.list
wget -O - https://pipplware.pplware.pt/pipplware/key.asc | sudo apt-key add -
apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y
exit

Remove

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pipplware_buster.list
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt remove kodi*

Installation

sudo apt-cache search kodi*
sudo apt install kodi
sudo apt install kodi-inputstream-adaptive
sudo apt install kodi-vfs-nfs
sudo apt install udisks2

sudo useradd -m -U -G "audio,bluetooth,input,plugdev,video" -s /bin/bash kodi

Plugins

Netflix

https://github.com/castagnait/repository.castagnait/raw/master/repository.castagnait-1.0.0.zip

The Netflix Plugin complains about not being able to import pycryptodomex so we need to install it manually https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/software/python.md.

# sudo apt install python-pip
# sudo su -l kodi
kodi $ pip install pycryptodomex

Amazon Prime (Amazon VOD)

InputStream Helper

The InputStream Helper does some fancy magic to download and install Widevine CDM, for this it needs to run several commands as root, like e.g. mount, unmount, losetup and modprobe. It supports running these commands via sudo so grant the kodi user the right to run sudo. The sudoers file can be removed afterwards, but might be needed again when there's an update.

/etc/sudoers.d/010_kodi-nopasswd

kodi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

After that IntputStream Helper might complain about libnss3.so, libnssutil3.so and libnspr4.so might be needed for Widevine CDM, so we install libnss3 which pulls in libnspr4 as it's dependency:

sudo apt install libnss3

Steam Link

https://github.com/bigbrozer/kodi-steamlink-launcher/releases/download/v0.0.2/kodi-steamlink-launcher-v0.0.2.zip
