[janneman]

Hello,

The system:
I am trying to install kodi (xbmc) on my olinuxino A20 lime 2 with the latest stable debian image.

The goal:
Install kodi http://kodi.tv/

The first problem:
I try to install kodi with the command

Code Select Expand

apt-get install kodi.
But I receive the following error:

Code Select Expand


root@OLinuXino-A20:/home/olimex# apt-get install kodi
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kodi : Depends: kodi-bin (>= 15.2+dfsg1-1) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: kodi-bin (< 15.2+dfsg1-1.1~) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Solution:

I modified my sources.list as follows

deb-src http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

The second problem:

When running kodi I get an error:

Any ideas

[JohnS]

I'd get the sources and build it (if I wanted it).

John

[janneman]

@John

You mean I should build kodi? or the mali driver?
Can you give me some more info to get started as i am just a noob?

[JohnS]

Whatever you want that does not now work, build from source.

But you sound to be starting from a poor position.  Why do it at all...

Or if you plan to then start with things that are easier and get experience.  There must be a zillion tutorials for things on the net.

John

[janneman]

Well, if the mali driver isn't working for anyone, there isn't much I can do.
I'll just have to find another solution until this gets fixed.

Hi,
I did correction for using xbmc on Olinuxino. I did a small wiki page http://olinuxino.4pro-web.com/wiki/xbmc-for-olimex-a20/ to explain how to compile from source.

Up to know only Frodo version of Kodi is up, but I will soon release new version of Xbmc with specific optimization for olinuxino
Hope it will help
Best regards,
