Kodi stops to work after install kodi-pvr-iptvsimple via CLI/SSH #53

If you try to install the simple-pvr-client from repo using apt install kodi-pvr-iptvsimple it will suggest you to "upgrade" kodi to the repo version.

But after this installation done, you can't access kodi anymore returning the message: ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting

How to use repo version of kodi? If isn't possible, have a way to compile kodi and the addons directly from kodi repo??

Repo version cannot be used as it's built to work on X11. We've compiled GBM version of Kodi.

Instructions: Quit Emulationstation (F4) cd wget http://www.retrorangepi.org/addons.tar.gz sudo tar -zxvf addons.tar.gz -C /usr/share/kodi/addons/ (case sensitive) Go to settings - add-ons - PVR clients - IPTV Simple - Enable
