Kodi Installation Failed
-
Good morning,
I'm in the process of rebuilding my Retropie. I've had a combination of issues (Overheating issue and duff SD card) so have essentially started from scratch with a new Pi and SD card. Since starting, I've not been able to install Kodi. It looks like the issue is with connecting to pipplware. I only use Kodi play videos stored locally on my HDD. My question really are:
-
Is there a fix?
-
Is there an alternative to Kodi just for playing videos locally?
Many thanks for your help.
Pi Model or other hardware: 3 B+
Power Supply used: iTrunk AC/DC
RetroPie Version Used: 4.6
Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
USB Devices connected: None

Not sure what your solution would be but looking at http://pipplware.pplware.pt/pipplware/dists/buster/main/binary/ in a browser and searching for 18.7 I get zero results. That package isn't on that site. Highest rev I see is 18.6-2. Possibly taken down for some reason?
-
Maybe was taken down accidentally, the file is indeed not present in the repository. @Rascas - did it get removed accidentally during an update ?
-
Thank you both for getting back to me. I found (And subsequently lost) a post on Reddit with people having the same issue, so I'm glad it's not me.
-
@mitu Yes, there was a problem with the RPi4 binary and I removed it yesterday, but I still didn't have the time to take a look at it. I will update it ASAP.
-
Thank you!
-
What would be the steps to make Kodi work once you have updated this @mitu? Novice here.
-
@wardvd I'm not uploading anything - the
kodipackages are not hosted by RetroPie. You'll have to wait until the Pipplware repository gets updated - try again tomorrow or a in a few days to install Kodi again. -
Thank you @mitu !
-
Should be fixed now. Kodi 18.7 will have to stay for friday, I lost remote access to the RPi 4 build unit and it is holidays today and tomorrow here.
-
@rascas It is still down.
-
@bails0bub works fine here.
-
Kodi 18.7 is now available. Cheers
-
Downloaded, installed and good to go! Thank you very much!
