Hello, I’m trying to set up my kodi (osmc) and I’m not succeeding at what I want, I would be very grateful if someone would help me. First of all I would like to be able to pause, rewind and streamline my m3u list (what I could do in an iptv player of xbox one and vlc in android), as I could not do in kodi I thought of using vlc along with osmc + kodi, I tried to add the file _/usr/share/kodi/userdata/playercorefactory.xml, but I did not succeed again, I will be very happy if anyone has a solution. Thks…
If you need VLC then Raspbian may be a better option
Thanks for the suggestion, actually I thought of using vlc just to pause, to advance, to use the timeshift in the mp4 videos uploaded by my m3u list, is there any way to use a player with these features in osmc?
thks
OSMC does not have X Windows installed, and most video applications (like VNC) need X. You may want to ask on the Kodi forums if there is a way to do what you are looking for.
i’ve installed chromium via [Testing] X11(simple desktop) + Chromium(web browser) in a simple installer for Stretch which
installs Xserver, LXDE core, Chromium,…a starting/launcher addon for kodi.
and it works great, altho it does exit kodi, which is restarted on logout from x…i had installed the repo vlc, but w/o h/w accel it’s useless:-(
i’ve been trying to compile w/accel using
Tutorial: Compile VLC with HW acceleration - Stretch, RPi 2/3 - Raspberry Pi Forums
and
How to compile VLC media player with hardware acceleration for the Raspberry Pi - The Pi
but of course osmc is not raspian, so i’m getting dependency issues:

anybody know the fix?
You don’t need the LIRC development packages
OSMC provides its own version.
apt-get install armv6/armv7-lirc-dev-osmc will do the trick
Sam
thanx, sam, but
E: Unable to locate package armv7-lirc-dev-osmc
problem is version: liblirc-dev:armhf (0.9.4c-9) vs armv7-lirc-osmc 0.9.0-6
i’ll try removing the osmc lirc & see what works/breaks;-}
oopsie:
osmc@osmc-fios:~$ sudo apt-get remove armv7-lirc-osmc

You’ve just bricked your system and will need to reinstall.
You can install VLC when you install this x11 desktop on OSMC
nope
To undo these changes, run ‘sudo apt-get -f install’.
worked fine
You can install VLC when you install this x11 desktop on OSMC
already did that, vlc has to be compiled w/ h/w accel
