[Announce] kodi for SailfishOS

Hi,

i have just uploaded kodi to openrepos. You can download and install both on phones or the jolla tablet. https://openrepos.net/content/krnlyng/kodi

Thanks to Blueslee and Schturman for testing it. Also thanks to Schturman for letting me use his icon.

If there are any bugs or improvements i can work on please let me know. I hope it is useful.

Let us use this thread to collect issues and improve it.

If there is anything i can help with, just let me know.

code: https://github.com/krnlyng/xbmc (based on the fork of Max Kellerman with wayland support)

Known Issues:
* A mouse cursor shows up in the top left corner. You can disable it by disabling touch and mouse input in Settings (Touch input will still work).
* Please always close via the GUI option to close kodi. Otherwise kodi will hang and therefore be unable to start up for a while (seconds).
* The estuary skin can be hard to navigate, switch to the estouchy or other touch skin.
* Scrolling is somewhat broken, use the slider to scroll
* LiveTV requires an additional PVR addon. You can find it below.

Additional Addons:
PVR IPTV Simple:

Re: [Announce] kodi for SailfishOS

Could someone port Kodi also for Maemo/Meego? Xmbc isn't the same, I love Kodi.
Thanks a lot,

Re: [Announce] kodi for SailfishOS

Thank you, liar, this is an amazing work. I lost my hope for a Wayland port after the main developer team dropped the Wayland bits few months ago, so this looks like a miracle.

It's smooth and Estuary/Estouchy work like a charm.

I just found three issues:

Lists longer than two pages (both folders and dialogs) are almost impossible to navigate, as scrolling down (up) always jump to the bottom (top) of the list and the items between cannot be selected. Not sure how to fix this, but it looks like a major issue. Reproducable with mouse/touch input turned both off and on and with both default skins.
The screen dimms and then turns off after few minutes of playing a video. Maybe this can be fixed with some setting, but it is quite annoying.
The app does not report the orientation correctly, therefore the system gestures are rotated. Just a minor issue, nothing crucial.

Other than that, it's really nice, works much better than the Android version and most importantly keeps playing when minimized (even on the cover), so even if you don't manage to fix the aforementioned issues, it's still a huge step forward for SailfishOS ecosystem (and it instantly obsoletes few of my SailfishOS projects where I tried to implement some useful Kodi addons in Qt/QML :) ).

I can confirm the list of bugs. As a side-note, you can scroll lists by dragging the slider list on the right; it's awkard on smaller screens, but it somehow works.

Re: [Announce] kodi for SailfishOS

This came as a huge (but very welcome) surprise! Runs great, and looks great, on Fairphone 2. Thanks also for the hints in the description on openrepos.

Out of curiosity, how much work was involved making it work on Sailfish?

I've noticed that the volume gets reset to max when you open the app or play media, is that deliberate? Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

You can achieve this within kodi applying settings / system / audio output / keep audio device alive.

Yep.. It's cool ! Big thanks to liar!
I use this Kodi on Jolla Tablet and I also already reported about scrolling bug. Yes for now we can use slider for scrolling, but many menus don't have slider and in this case it impossible to choose something between start and end of list.
Skins - Can't get to work LiveTV (already reported) from start screen on Estouchy skin (the Estuary skin don't have LiveTV shortcut).
Trying to find and install PVR IPTV Simple client, for now without success. But we can play liveTV directly from video addond -> LiveTv addon.

I have something like 8 repos installed but I can't find any other skins except Titan skin (not good). Someone know from which repo I can try to install another skins for this Kodi ? Want to test...

I finally successfully setup Ninbora Movies and Series :D

Yes, this is exactly what I said... I get this message:

Code:

PVR IPTV Simple Client is disabled.

Please enable PVR IPTV Simple Client addon.

But no one of my installed repos can't show me this addon for installation, it's like just not exists... In Android version I have this pvr client from the same repos...

Now I have a big problem, by playing with setting, by mistake I have choose LiveTv as a first screen instead a normal screen with menu and restarted kodi. Now I have a beautiful black screen with mouse arrow in the left upper corner. I can't exit from this screen and can't do nothing :(
Please, someone tell me that I can restore normal screen instead to remove kodi and install all my stuff again from zero ? Maybe terminal command? Something ? :(

Re: [Announce] kodi for SailfishOS

Please, can someone show me output of this file:

Code:

/home/nemo/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml

I found this line:

Code:

<startupwindow>10700</startupwindow>

it inside the Look-and-Feel section:

Code:

    <lookandfeel>

        <enablerssfeeds default="true">true</enablerssfeeds>

        <font>Arial</font>

        <rssedit default="true"></rssedit>

        <startupwindow>10700</startupwindow>

        <stereostrength default="true">5</stereostrength>

    </lookandfeel>

Maybe I need to change this number....
Thanks

EDIT:
Ok, I fixed it, it should be 10000 :D

That is unfortunately not true for dialogs. In folders, you can use the slider (if you manage to hit it), but in dialogs, it behaves exactly like when scrolling.

Dragging the slider in the middle jumps to the bottom (top) in dialogs 90% of the time. It's quite weird, but it somehow makes the whole bug more interesting, as it's not only kinetic scrolling what's causing it.

It looks like TOHKBD2 is currently the best way to navigate, as it works great with Kodi.
It's great that TOHKBD2 finally has some use, but connecting it just for Kodi (small wink to those TOHKBD2 owners who know what I'm talking about ;) ) is bit of an overkill.

EDIT: It works for some dialogs.

Re: [Announce] kodi for SailfishOS

Liar, small suggestion. Upload pvr iptv client to openrepos too and maybe add as requires to kodi package.
Or even better, include it in kodi package for next update :)

Re: [Announce] kodi for SailfishOS

Wow, this is really nice and most things are working nicely. Thank you so much.
Funnily enough, kodi is now the easiest – native – way for me to copy files from smb/cifs shares.

There are some navigational dead ends (for example displaying an image slideshow which I normally never use), but navigating using Kodimote works. As a plus, it looks pretty funny remote controlling Kodi on a Tablet located right in front of you from a phone.

Using a local Kodimote, it's possible to have cover actions, by the way, if you don't mind the slight cumbersomeness of it.

Regarding the display switching off, here's a bit of a shameless plug:
My sleep timer (see signature) works okay using either (not both simultaneously) Kodimote or manual Kodi configuration in the settings. It has an option to keep the display lit while active, which tends to get confused if another application tries to do the same, but Kodi obviously does not.
I have not tested the arm version of Kodi but I'm pretty confident all this applies to it as well.

cheers

edit: To use Kodimote or slumber, you need to enable services→webserver and services→remote control in Kodi, which, depending on your network/configuration, might be a slight security risk, because Kodi is not designed to be secure in this regard.

I would also love to have vuplus pvr client addon working on Kodi for Sailfish.
It is part of default installation on most Kodi systems, but I have no idea where to find and how to install this plugin for Sailfish.

Re: [Announce] kodi for SailfishOS

You can Use IPTV Simple Client to Access stream from VuPlus receiver. You need to download the Bouquet Playlist using the receiver's OpenWebif web interface. Then you can add that Playlist in IPTV Simple Client addon settings. EPG does not work this way, though. And I can only watch SD channels properly on my Jolla Phone - HD channels can not show a fluent video at all.

you need to fetch the kodi sources from my github and then some dependancies, like p8-platform and kodi-platform then build the plugin. if you start with building the plugin it will tell you which dependancies it needs.

Re: [Announce] kodi for SailfishOS

Hi Liar.
I have a two problems...
1. Screen going off while playing video or LiveTV. In Jolla setting it on 30sec and I need to touch the screen every 30sec. ., I already tried to play with different settings inside a Kodi, but didn't find how to prevent sreen off while playing video or LiveTV...
For now I solved it by changing jolla setting to "Keep screen on while charging", many times I use Kodi when it connected to power supply.

2. Every time when any video start to play, the audio volume jump to 100%. Also didn't find how to prevent it inside Kodi setting. It not so convenient when you use headphones :D

Any idea how to fix it? If possible...
Thanks.

A fix for these would be awesome,as this would be the end of android player for me. All those file extension not being played are a thing of the pass with this player

Re: [Announce] kodi for SailfishOS

I tred the config wizard from tvaddons.ag. When it asked my OS, I selected "linux". None of the addons showed up after the procedure.

Should I have selected "Android", because SFOS is a crazy libhybris distro? Will tvaddons config wizard need to be customized for use on Sailfish? Am I asking in the wrong place?

P.S. This is my first post on t.mo in quite some time. I broke my n900's ribbon cable a few months ago, and haven't had the funds to replace it. A good friend gave me his old N4 a few days ago. Sailfish rocks. I like ubuntutouch because it haz xmir, but SFOS really feels like home. It feels good to be back.
