Kodi Flatpak

Kodi is an award-winning free and open source software media player and entertainment hub for digital media. Available as a native application for Android, Linux, BSD, macOS, iOS, tvOS and Windows operating systems, Kodi runs on most common processor architectures. This repository packages it through Flatpak.

Building

Then build via

flatpak-builder build-dir --user --ccache --force-clean --install tv.kodi.Kodi.yml

Then you can run it via the command line:

flatpak run tv.kodi.Kodi

or just search for the installed app on your system

The following binary addons do not compile, and are excluded:

• audiodecoder.dumb
• game.libretro.2048

Contributing

The list of binary addons in each branch of Kodi may be found here, and dependencies here. Kodi releases are found here.

You need to have the PyGithub Python module installed, to run the update script:

pip install PyGithub

make update-addons can help updating existing addons and also list missing ones. It will need a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable set to a valid GitHub token. You can do this via an .env file in the root of the repository or by exporting the variable in your shell.

You can contribute by updating addons, modules and the Kodi version.

tv.kodi.kodi's Issues

Does kodi *really* depend on Java?

Kodi specifies a requirement on the openjdk11 extension:

https://github.com/flathub/tv.kodi.Kodi/blob/master/tv.kodi.Kodi.yml#L6

But then tries to use openjdk10:

https://github.com/flathub/tv.kodi.Kodi/blob/master/tv.kodi.Kodi.yml#L66 &
https://github.com/flathub/tv.kodi.Kodi/blob/master/tv.kodi.Kodi.yml#L106

Which cannot possibly work because the openjdk11 extension does not provide this openjdk10 path!

Furthermore, at no point is the openjdk11 install.sh script called, so the Kodi app is not even shipping with a Java runtime. This means that even if Kodo did actually ship some bytecode, there's no way it can be executed...

Are you sure Kodi actually requires Java? Or something silently failing during build and silently missing at runtime?

Update runtime to 21.08

Please, consider updating the fd runtime that this Flatpak uses to 21.08. :-)

Kodi Desktop Session

Is it possible for a Flatpak application such as Kodi to provide the Kodi desktop session that can usually be accessed from the login screen / desktop manager?

I notice it does not currently and if the feature is available then I can't work out how to enable it, but I'm wondering whether it's an issue with the fundamental architecture of Flatpak that means this isn't possible. I notice that the Steam Flatpak does not enable this either (although admittedly this usually also requires steamos-desktop in addition to the regular package) which is what makes me think that possibly this is the case.

[Kodi crashes] addon installation

Kodi 18.0rc5.2-Leia crashes if I try to install any addon. Regardless which addon.
If I select an addon and press enter I don't get to the point where I can click "install".
I also tried to remove the configuration directory ".var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi", but that didn't help.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named PIL

With the Kodi Version 19.0 I get an error when the addon "script.embuary.helper" is used. This addon is nessessary for the skin I use. The error in the log says:

EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--

It seems that this issue is similar to #72.

Kodi Matrix 19.0 missing SMB, Web UI in Settings->Services

Upgraded to Matrix from Leia.

1. My media sources all report "cannot connect to network share". Also, when I try to add a new network source, "SMB" is not on the list of protocols. (And yes, my samba server is running and serving to all comers...including the host on which this flatpak runs.)
2. Settings -> Services -> Control lacks config info for the Web UI. Chorus2 addon is installed and enabled. It's just missing.
3. Settings -> Services -> SMB Client is missing.

The Settings screen is at the expert level, so nothing should be filtered out, but I cycled through all the settings just in case. These items are just missing.

I'm attempting to downgrade.

KODI crash when using web interface control (Chorus)

Most of the time, when i'm trying to use Chorus (web interface for controlling and interacting with Kodi) and try to access Movies KODI crashes.
I enabled logging of components: libCURL, JSON-RPC, Announcer, WWW server, Database. But LOG says nothing about crash.
It happen when i enter "Movies", website is loaded but there is info down-right "web socket connection lost".
Web GUI when connection is lost:

ffmpeg[7FB6937FE700]: [hls,applehttp] Failed to open segment

Amazon Prime Music addon not working with flatpak version of Kodi.
As it seems the problem is related to FFMPEG.
The problem is not present in the kodi from rpmfusion.

Boblight library

Thanks for making kodi available as flatpak.
The boblight addon says that it needs a binary to work.
It needs the library "libboblight.so" that is on my system but not accessible by flatpak.
Is there a way to solve this?

Regards, Achim

Kodi file manager

Kodi faltpak doesn't give me access to all directories in / home directory .

Addon with information of the flatpak

Should an addon be added with shows information of the flatpak? e.g.

• How to contact the flatpak maintainers
• Tutorial: How to add a extern media source/directory (#46)
• (Ideas? Strangely enough my Kodi configuration isn't strange/experimental enough to come up with more freaky ideas =/ )

What about very short video tutorials? (e.g. the gifs from wireguard homepage https://www.wireguard.com/quickstart/ )

Please update to 18.9

Kodi is out of date. Please update to 18.9.

some codecs missing? how to solve this issue?

Hey there,

I used to use kodi installed via APT. However after upgrading my ubuntu installation to 21.04 it somehow also upgraded kodi and then that broke dependencies which then broke scripts and addons and python things.

So to help solve my problem, i installed this flatpak here from flathub. Great! My kodi install works again right?

Well the python is fixed. However the first launch it spammed a whole bunch of messages at me. Which was totally unnecessary and tedious from a user point of view. Very unprofessional looking. Nevertheless things seem overall less bkoken now than before.

Only problem is... some codecs are missing. I know this because before moving to flatpak certain videos would playback just fine in kodi. But now I only get the audio and the video is gone. Back screen.

Here is an example video, one of my favorites:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkTb9GP9lVI

Can you guys play it? Does that one work for any of you?

Is there some way i can use flatseak to add any extra premonitions for folder access for a folder on my root filesystem? Something like to mount the /var/lib/ folder where the missing codecs lives? That would be helpful.

Otherwise you have packs to sideload the missing codecs? Because that would also be ok by me. I just cannot find any existing instructions anywhere for how to do that.

Much help appreciated, and I do hope you enjoy the song. Even if audio only, (but that really is missing the best part of it, hehe).

Combined merge 2

Main:

• Remove old flathub readme #15
• Remove CONTRIBUTING.md #17
• Add wayland support #16
  Optional:
• JSON to YAML?

Flathub using older version 18-5

I notice the repository was updated to 18-6 on git, but flathub is still using version 18-5 from November last year.
https://flathub.org/apps/details/tv.kodi.Kodi

arm support (raspberry pi)

Is there a way to use this on arm? If not?

Do you know if will be supported in near future.

Support AV1 Codec

Part of #114 ?

This version of kodi does not seem to be able to play AV1-encoded videos.
That's particularly important because YouTube nowadays encodes a lot of its videos in AV1.

No CEC support in 19.0 "Matrix"

After upgrading to Kodi 19.0 "Matrix" my TV remote control stopped working. It looks like the PR dropped libCEC? I don't see the CEC plug-in in the input settings anymore, and entering the flatpak container also reveals that the related tools (e.g., cec-client) aren't in /app/bin/ anymore.

I'll gladly provide more information if required.

Cannot start kodi. Wayland error.

I haven't run kodi in a few months, and since then many packages have been updated (so I'm not sure whose "fault" it is), but now I get this error when I try to run kodi:

Websockets are not supported in flatpak.

Seems that websockets are not supported in flatpak.
Allow remote control from applications on this system in Settings/Service can be enabled, but there is no Allow remote control from applications on other systems (Which allows websockets afaik) is missing from GUI.

but there is listening TCP process -> 0.0.0.0:9090 (0.0.0.0:8080 too)

Example of GUI options:
https://kodi.wiki/view/File:Services_control2.JPG

EDIT:
seems that I disabled it with:

printf "<advancedsettings>\n    <services>\n        <esallinterfaces>true</esallinterfaces>\n        <webserver>true</webserver>\n        <zeroconf>true</zeroconf>\n    </services>\n</advancedsettings>" > /home/kodi/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

Missing nmblookup dependency

I don't use Samba and I don't experience other issues, but when launching Kodi from a terminal there's a message:

sh: nmblookup: command not found

Under /var/lib/flatpak/.../files/sbin I can only find nmbd and smbd commands.

this "user" has been pestering tons of kodi related repos with senseless PRs bordering on trolling for a long time. Now he has found a new target.

No support for MySQL Library

It seems that there is no support for using a MySQL database like described under https://kodi.wiki/view/MySQL in Kodi 19.0.

In the flathub-version of Kodi 18.8 all was fine.

The error in the Kodi log is:
ERROR : MySQL library requested but MySQL support is not compiled in. Falling back to sqlite3.

CPU and GPU temperature not available

The CPU temperature displayed is incorrect on my htpc. It is always 80°C. The GPU temperature is not available.

If I use the following advancedsettings.xml both are not available.

<advancedsettings version="1.0">
	<cputempcommand>echo "$(sensors -u | tail -n64 | grep temp3_input | awk '{print $2 }' |awk '{printf("%d\n",$1 + 0.5);}') C"</cputempcommand>
	<gputempcommand>echo "$(sensors -u | tail -n64 | grep temp1_input | awk '{print $2 }' |awk '{printf("%d\n",$1 + 0.5);}') C"</gputempcommand>
</advancedsettings>

To test I navigate to Settings>System Information.
Running sensors in the commandline I get the following output:

$ sensors -u
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:
  temp2_input: 43.000
  temp2_max: 84.000
  temp2_crit: 100.000
  temp2_crit_alarm: 0.000
Core 1:
  temp3_input: 47.000
  temp3_max: 84.000
  temp3_crit: 100.000
  temp3_crit_alarm: 0.000

radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:
  temp1_input: 40.000
  temp1_crit: 120.000
  temp1_crit_hyst: 90.000

Is it possible to show the cpu and gpu temperature?
Thank you for your attention.

Those are Kodi flatpak dependencies. I think this is also good occasion to fix neverending issue with missing nmblookup in flatpak Kodi ( #71 ).

ImportError: No module named PIL

I use the skin Embuary which in turn uses the addon script.embuary.helper
The addon gives the following error every time I launch Kodi or the skin wants to do anything with images.
The relevant error from the debug log:

Here is the full Kodi debug log.
The importerror happens in the following file from the addon: https://github.com/sualfred/script.embuary.helper/blob/master/resources/lib/image.py

This might be a similar issue to #40. But here python2 needs Pillow.

I have the current flatpak installed. Running "flatpak info tv.kodi.Kodi" gives this:

Bluray playback?

Hello,
bluray playback isn't working in kodi flatpak. It says that it can't decrypt the disc.
Is it possible to play bluray in the flatpak version of kodi?

Thanks for your support.

Can't use external player

Is there a way to use an external player i.e. mpv in Kodi flatpak version?

When using a normal Kodi version you need to add this in the ~/.kodi/userdata/playercorefactory.xml

<playercorefactory>
  <players>
    <player name="MPV" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
      <filename>/usr/bin/mpv</filename>
      <args>--fs=yes "{1}"</args>
      <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
    </player>
  </players>
  <rules action="prepend">
    <rule video="true" player="MPV"/>
  </rules>
</playercorefactory>

So I copied file to the flatpak location:

~/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data/userdata/playercorefactory.xml

And it doesn't work:

sh: line 1: /usr/bin/mpv: No such file or directory

I have also tried to enable additional permissions via Flatseal app, same result.

RetroPlay Doesn't Work

RetroPlay doesn't seem to be working. No roms whatsoever are recognized and Libretro all in all does not seem to be available in the flatpak version.

AC3 transcoding broken with FFmpeg 4.4

The latest update broke AC3 transcoding for me, so for example with AAC tracks I don't get any audio output.

This is probably caused by the switch to FFmpeg 4.4 in 8daa5ba, because I just recently encountered the same problem with the Debian package and figured I'd switch to the Flatpak to work around this 😅

There's a fix in Kodi 20.x but backporting seems tricky.

Could the Flatpak maybe revert to FFmpeg 4.3 for now?

Workaround

I was able to downgrade to the previous version with:

sudo flatpak update --commit=0670d916732866f75a7df4ef50a6e07a3ba05beda445294e90b8df6043bb928a tv.kodi.Kodi

Binary addon (especially vfs.sftp)

Hi,

the readme build notes mentions the vfs.sftp addon (and the required testing) but I can't find it under tv.kodi.Kodi/x86_64/.../files/lib/kodi/addons dir.

Any pointers on how to build it for flatpaked Kodi?

Webserver configuration entry missing in Matrix v19.0.0

This is just an additional issue with the already identified dependency problems. I just want to leave it here to let you know that the remote control webserver is also affected.
#103 should fix this since libmicrohttpd dependency is added.

There is #101, but I think the webserver is not the problem there.

I don't need help or so just leave it openuntil #103 is closed. (I can help if help is needed)

How to deal with missing libraries and addons ?

Hi,

New to Kodi, I installed the flatpak version 19. I started messing around with addon but sometimes they require some specific libraries.
For example, Netflix addon from Castagnait requires pycryptodomex.

Right now, I'm unable to use this plugin. Not sure to whom it should fall under. I thought maybe you could either integrate it or redirect me to some relevant flatpak documentation.

Using a remote control

Hi,

I've got a MCE remote control. Is there a way to make it work with the flatpak version of kodi ?

Thanks

Kodi ALSA configuration

Where can I config Kodi to use ALSA?

Error Contents: No module named PIL.Image

The script.extendedinfo gives me an error when I try to view the actors info.
This happens if I press "up-key" on an Actor image.
I am using the default skin "Estuary".

As it seems this problem is related to youtube.dl.
The error indicates that there is something missing from python (PIL.Image).

If you have any questions please let me know.

Fullscreen Mode Should Inhibit Display Sleep

When Kodi is running in fullscreen mode, the display should not go to sleep. Currently, if a user is watching a video in fullscreen, they need to press a key or move the mouse every few minutes to wake the display.

The bug seems to be caused by a missing permission in the Flatpak manifest. Adding the following permission fixes this: --talk-name=org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver

How should I use pvr.iptvsimple ?

Is possible to enable pvr.iptvsimple ?
How?
Thanks

X11 version of Kodi isn't started automatically

The start script doesn't check if a Wayland environment is available to automatically starts the X11 version. @wsnipex wasn't this originally supported by Kodi?

Kodi Crashes on Wayland but Runs Fine on X11

When running Kodi under GNOME Wayland, it crashes before even starting up with the following error:

However, when launched through X11, it runs perfectly fine.

Matrix?

Hi, has anyone tried to port it to Matrix already?

Can't use external hard disk as Media Source

Hi,

I want to Kodi to use my external hard drive mounted at "/run/media/bastianilso/harddrive" as media source, but it seems that this path is not accessible from the Flatpak.

• What is the right way to address this issue in the long run? Does Kodi need to implement a portal here? Or is it on the Flatpak manifest permission side of things?

• is there a temporary Flatpak CLI command workaround that can be used to make my external harddrive accessible (punching a hole in the sandbox) for now?

this happens for all https urls passed to ffmpeg directly.

Fix: FFmpeg must be compiled with openssl or gnutls support

Feature request - FLAC export, MODs playback

I would be very happy, if some audio encoders/decoders would be available inside flatpak. I believe FLAC and OpenMPT are most important.
If they just need to be built (compiled) then i can do it, just let me know how to do it (step by step guide would be helpful).

You need to update udev from shared-modules

In order to fix udev build you need to update shared-modules submodule (specifically this commit)

HW decoding

Thanks for this amazing work!

In Kodi settings, there is no way to enable/disable va-api or other HW decoding API.
Is there any technical limit to enable this ?

wayland executable?

Is there a wayland executable? Or is wayland support disabled at the moment for the Flatpak version of Kodi? Regards, Achim

ARM version missing on flathub

I already complained at the Kodi guys but they declined to support flatpak, unfortunately.
xbmc/xbmc#17700

Since an ARM release exists (e.g. for raspi) I guess it should be possible to repack it into a flatpak package.
Thank you.

Use flatpak extensions

Using extensions for binary addons would improve user experience greatly, especially since Kodi 19 ask you about enabling every installed binary addon. It would also help halve the install size and enable individual updates of addons instead of grouping them together with releases.

Could this be done with the optional dependencies as well? If so, that would be great. Otherwise, adding all optional dependencies to the installation would resolve compatibility issues as well.
