Kodi

Kodi (formerly known as XBMC) is a multi-platform media center. It runs very well on the APF6 Dual/Quad.

Installation

$ make apf6mediacenter_defconfig

• Take some coffees
• Reflash kernel, rootfs & DTBs

Usage

• Application is launched by default with the generated rootfs
• You will need a keyboard/joystick to control the application

Tips

• Launch network interface before kodi:

# udhcpc -i eth0 -b

• If no RTC, get current time from NTP:

# ntpd -nqp 217.147.208.1

• De-activate Framebuffer timeout and blinking cursor: Framebuffer#Tips
• have enough space to install extensions:

# resize2fs /dev/mmcblk2p2

• To have them launched at each boot, add these tips to /etc/init.d/S50kodi
