August 31, 20187 yr Hello, I'm trying to setup kodi-headless-arm64 as DLNA server (on mini server) because minidlna unable to stream 4k movies to sony bravia tv (getting only ~25Mbps). With normal Kodi install (on linux) with NFS mount I can get all speed I need (movie bitrate ~62Mbit/s). I have 1Gbps network. I've figured out that easest way to setup kodi headless is to use host network because bridge network does not work even with all necessary port mapping. But now there is another issue - I see all files on TV but unable to play them. I just get "Cannot play video" error. But I can play from android smartphone. Smart TV can play movies over DLNA from another Kodi (installed on PC with linux) and from server when miniDLNA app is running but unable to play from kodi-headless. Do anyone have any suggestions where to look on this issue?

September 1, 20187 yr Possibly a dumb question, but how do I install add-ons to this? Specifically 'Library Auto Update'
October 3, 20187 yr Ive got an issue that i cant resolve, hopefully you guys can tell me what dumb thing i did/did not do. I have a handful of kodi boxes up and running pointing at a SQL database. I decided to setup this headless container to handle library updates but im running into an issue. All i did was setup the advancedsettings to point at the database then point sonarr at it but it doesnt update the library. In the kodi log file it says: 17:58:37.621 T:22745948530432 WARNING: Process directory 'smb://ip/folder/name of show' does not exist - skipping scan. These folders all exist but kodi headless doesnt appear to be able to see them. What can i do to get this up and running?

Specifically 'Library Auto Update' I would love to know the answer to this as well. Is this possible? I currently have a client permanently running that is set with the auto update plugin to update every couple of hours. Edited October 17, 20187 yr by PureLoneWolf extra info

You can do that with cron and curl I think it was. Just look up how to update kodi via cmd line. Here it is put that in user scripts and run it as frequently as you want Edited November 8, 20187 yr by bnevets27
December 25, 20187 yr I have installed this on my unRaid server. My only application for this kodi instance is to be able to rip audio cds when I pop it in just like regular Kodi does. I reckoned that I can make changes in guisettings.xml in the following section as below and it should do the trick but somehow its not ripping discs. I have the same settings on another regular kodi box and I use that to rip cds. Can anyone help? <audiocds> <autoaction>2</autoaction> <ejectonrip default="true">true</ejectonrip> <encoder>audioencoder.flac</encoder> <recordingpath>/var/media/Data/Music/Ripped Music/</recordingpath> <trackpathformat default="true">%A/%A - %B/[%N. ][%A - ]%T</trackpathformat> <usecddb default="true">true</usecddb> </audiocds>

But did you pass through the cdrom to the container?
December 25, 20187 yr Probably easier to use something like Ripper which is designer for what you want.
December 27, 20187 yr Has there been any progress on a version that works with Leia? I see a tag was added but it doesn't start. EDIT: Today I checked again and the tag showed it was updated a day ago. I deleted and re-added the docker image and it now loads up. I guess it was updated since I tried it last. It now seems to work. I'll post any issues I find. thanks Edited December 31, 20187 yr by surge919
January 9, 20197 yr @sparklyballs I've seen your posts on the Kodi forums. I'm looking for some advice how to get a full kodi stripped down to a headless version. I'm running an Armbian Stretch (Debian) Image on a BananaPi M2 Berry. There is a Kodi available in the repository that I could install right away. My intention is to run a headless Kodi for the DB and since resources on the BananaPi are limited, I would like to remove the overhead. Is it possible? Where should I start?

Why not run the container on your banana?

January 9, 20197 yr The specs of the banana are similar to the RPi 2: Quad Core ARM Cortex A7 CPU Dual core Mali 400 MP2 GPU 1G DDR3 SDRAM
January 13, 20197 yr Kodi (Leia RC5) is using the database MyVideos116 and the latest docker image of this is using MyVideos113 How can the version get updated (besides waiting for the docker image to be updated)?

Fork the container and learn how to compile/patch Leia to be headless.
January 29, 20197 yr Edit: Ignore it, I used the wrong container. (x86 instead of the arm) 🤡 Now the container is running and the log shows this: Warning: MHD_USE_THREAD_PER_CONNECTION must be used only with MHD_USE_INTERNAL_POLLING_THREAD. Flag MHD_USE_INTERNAL_POLLING_THREAD was added. Consider setting MHD_USE_INTERNAL_POLLING_THREAD explicitly. Any advice where to set that flag explicitely? Finally found some time to read through the docker guides and managed to pull the kodi-headless from linuxserverio. This is what I get when trying to start the docker. root@bananapim2:/opt/appdata/kodi# docker start kodi-headless kodi-headless root@bananapim2:/opt/appdata/kodi# docker logs kodi-headless standard_init_linux.go:207: exec user process caused "exec format error" standard_init_linux.go:207: exec user process caused "exec format error" The inspect output is attached. Need help with this. Edited January 29, 20197 yr by Fireball3
