ADMIN EDIT

Solution

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichaIng/DietPi/dev/.conf/dps_6/xorg_c2.conf -O /etc/X11/xorg.conf
apt-mark auto xf86-video-mali-odroid pulseaudio
apt autoremove --purge
apt install --reinstall aml-libs-odroid mali450-odroid libump-odroid xf86-video-fbturbo-odroid

---

Fresh install of Dietpi 6.25, Kodi and Mpd only, after all things done just screen blink and message that Kodi can't create gui (Kodi autorun enabled). Same time Kodi runs perfect on Coreelec, so HW is ok.

Many thanks for your report.

I'll check our driver installs, I remember Meveric asked for Kodi 18 testers, was this probably released now? Which Kodi version is it? dpkg -l kodi-odroid
In case this might probably need some change in drivers/configs.

Here it is:

dpkg -l kodi-odroid

Okay I made some comparison of Kodi, desktop and X.org install steps between dietpi-software and the setup-odroid tool by Meveric, that should definitely work with the packages provided by his repo.

Differences are tiny, however worth to give it a try:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichaIng/DietPi/dev/.conf/dps_6/xorg_c2.conf -O /etc/X11/xorg.conf
apt purge xf86-video-mali-odroid # Check that there are not other packages depending on it
apt purge pulseaudio # We added PA to install some time ago to fix corrupt sound, however it should be not required (anymore) and might even conflict with our default ALSA setup
apt autoremove --purge
apt install --reinstall aml-libs-odroid mali450-odroid libump-odroid xf86-video-fbturbo-odroid

Failsafe reboot into console:

/DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-autostart 0
reboot

Then please try to start Kodi from console:

xinit kodi-standalone

Solution works! Kodi works fine for me for now.

@alexeylutskov
Okay perfect. Not sure which of these more-minor changes did the trick, however all of them are implemented in our install code with v6.26.

Does dietpi-autostart into Kodi also work well now?

[alexeylutskov]

Yes, it works, thank you.

@alexeylutskov
Many thanks for testing. We'll apply most of the steps during next DietPi-Update. All but purging PulseAudio can be done safely, in case of PulseAudio we should ask user.
