Kodi

Kodi is the living-room media centre: local files, add-ons and live TV. This is the third tile on the screenshot home screen.

Config

entries:
  - title: Kodi
    subtitle: Films and TV
    command: [kodi]

Kodi opens its own full-screen UI. Libraries, add-ons and the web interface stay in Kodi’s userdata (~/.kodi/).

If Kodi is a Flatpak

    command: [flatpak, run, tv.kodi.Kodi]

The Flathub id is tv.kodi.Kodi. Give that Flatpak access to your media directories if they live outside its home.

Notes

  • The icon is looked up as Kodi.

  • Kodi stays running until you quit it from its menu, so leave restoreOnExit at the default.

  • To force full screen from the command: command: [kodi, --fullscreen].

  • Some packages install kodi-standalone for a session without a desktop. Use that as the command if that is how you run Kodi on the box.

  • Output is appended to ~/.cache/biscuittin/kodi.log.
