Raspberry Pi 5 support?

Hi!

I just purchased a Raspberry Pi 5 hoping to put OSMC on it. When I try to install it, I’m getting an error Kernel or device-tree not found or is not compatible and wondering if Raspberry Pi 5 is actually supported by OSMC currently. I came across another forum that implied no, but I wanted to check in here.

Thanks!

Hi, RPi5 is not currently supported, as it is stated for example here: Download - OSMC

oh bummer, I should have read that before purchasing…

Do you know if it’s on the roadmap to add support for it anytime soon?

It’s still in progress :slight_smile:

Stay tuned

Thanks for the update, Sam! Do you have any idea when it might be ready? If it’s a while, I might repurpose my Raspberry Pi 5 and find other solutions for OSMC.

I don’t have a firm ETA presently

Someone might want to look into modifying the wiki then, it literally says:

OSMC runs on all models of Raspberry Pi.

And on the download page, the models for Pi are listed in the smallest font possible.

I can see this being an accident if you guys didn’t know about the problem, but considering it’s been known about for at least 6 months then not updating the documentation to make it clear is just sloppy.

I have amended this, thanks.
I will adjust it when we have Pi 5 up and booting.
