Install Kodi

  • make sure you're install the correct driver for your hardware, i need fglrx or Kodi has a constant CPU load of ~100%

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y xinit fglrx-updates alsa-utils libva-glx1 libva-egl1 vainfo upower libcurl3 mysql-client kodi 

  • allow "anybody" to start the X server
sudo sed -i 's/allowed_users=console/allowed_users=anybody/' /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

  • grant the "kodi" user access to serial devices (CEC), the soundcard and to shutdown, reboot, etc.
sudo usermod -aG dialout,audio,sudo kodi
