Hi Steve,

Sorry for delays. Been busy around here. Just to let you know this isn’t forgotten.

Cheers

Hi Steve,

It’s a shame even with debug logging we don’t see something a little more verbose.

You could try starting Kodi as root (your ~/.kodi will be under /root) with:

sudo systemctl stop mediacenter
sudo /usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin --standalone

If this fixes things, then we do need to look at a permissions problem.

I didn’t read all the thread, but for me it would be also interesting to have fbtft working with OSMC.
Does somebody already get it work? If yes, is it easy to enable it or does it still need some"hacks" to make it work? Thank you for update.
