@Parabola said in No Source Found for Kodi:

(prefer)mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148Mhz progressive

I see that the preferred resolution is 1080p, I wonder which resolution is chosen by Kodi when it starts. Can you run

tvservice -s

after Kodi is started and check which resolution is trying to set ? You'll need SSH enabled and you can run commands on the Pi without an attached keyboard.

EDIT: if you can get the Kodi log file from $HOME/.kodi/temp/kodi.log, please upload it to pastebin.com and provide the link - maybe there's a hint about the resolution used in that file.

Okay, so, I haven't done any of this yet. And here's why:

I had the Pi set up on a spare computer monitor (which was the Vizio TV) while I was setting it up and doing the major trouble shooting, but I planned on having it stay with the living room TV when I was done. So if the problem was potentially the TV, I'd try a different TV.

And it worked. Sort of.

I can see Kodi now, I was able to play some movies off of it, so the No Source Found error is gone, but I'm still getting two odd errors I'm troubleshooting through:
1. An odd pixel artifact over certain colors? I'm not sure what causes it, but it's noticeable in Kodi menus, when playing media, and during emulation. But not in the RetroPie menu.
2. When certain overlays / submenus should be on screen, the screen goes to black. This happens in Kodi and RetroPie and I'm guessing it's another resolution thing, but I'm not certain.

I plan on testing the HDMI cables, the ports, and some TV settings before I make a new post about any problems that remain, but if this thread needs to be closed, I can make a different one later. Technically, Kodi is working for me now.

@mitu

You’re a star. Thank you very much.

@louf Sorry for the late response, I am currently not maintaining Kodi packages since Kodi 19 does not support H265 HW video decoding on RPi 3/2, which are the ones that I still use for Kodi.
About your problem, I can't really tell, never happened to me and I never anyone complaining about something like that. Can you reproduce your problem and post a Kodi debug log? A photo/screenshot may also help.

I'm experiencing the same thing as OP and the "fix" from the other thread didn't work.

From the "read first", my answers:

read forum rules ✅ search the docs ✅ search the forum ✅ I found two, the one OP reference and this one; like OP, trying the change outlined in the other post did not work raspberry pi power supply ✅ I've got an official power supply for my pi 4 official image ✅ I flashed the base retropie image and the experience has been otherwise quite smoth

Did you calibrate Kodi overscan within the app?

Btw are you outputting over hdmi and composite? Why do you have other mode configs in place?

If you can't resolve it, you would be better reporting on the raspberry pi forums where you may get the attention of a dev.

Maybe something changes with the composite modes. If the terminal is fine, then adjusting Kodi display should work. If the terminal is also out, you can adjust overscan in config.txt.

If you don't use overscan in config.txt you should disable overscan and remove overscan_scale

@remcomeeder Make sure kodi-vfs-nfs package is installed through apt (it is by default) and the addon is enabled in Kodi.

It's a temporary issue with the upstream repository - watch this topic for updates.

@mariofilho Hi Mario, this forum is for RetroPie. I think you are looking for https://forum.recalbox.com/

I corrected my terrible typos. I had someone ring my doorbell and accidentally hit send so it was half gibberish. Sorry haha.

That's what happens when you try and type on a phone with fingers that look like pork sausages and get distracted half way.

Unknown sources doesn't mean only addons for pirated content, there are 3rd party legal addons also, which are not on the Kodi repositories, and you cannot install them without enabling that option. Even if he wants to install ilegal addons, it's his problem and no support will be given here.

Go to Settings -> System -> Addons -> Unknown Sources -> Enable

That did the trick!

Thanks for taking the time to help me out! I'm still trying to learn my way around linux ^^

@rascas I'm using a Raspberry PI 3 with an official power supply. My sd card is a 16 gb SanDisk Ultra.

@rascas said in Kodi doesn't work anymore:

If you have a backup, why don't you just install the latest RetroPie version and copy over your settings/roms/etc?

I'm not sure about which directories i have to copy, because i changed different settings

@rush Which version of xbox driver are you using ? Use xpad (it comes pre-installed with RetroPie), don't use xboxdrv, it has issues atleast with Kodi.
If you still have problems, post your Kodi log:
http://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file

@herb_fargus Ah sorry. Didn't realise mentioning the subreddit would be an issue. Apologies.

Updated the Ubuntu install. Now it's working fine.

@Rascas Cheers, updated to 17.3 but still getting the same problem. will the the log

Thanks. Will try that.

Did you dual-boot or did you install the kodi package?

Got it sorted ,I plugged the raspberry pi3 into my HD TV and the screen was able the handle the default 1920x1080 resolution.Then went into Kodi settings and set the resolution to the nearest to 1280x1024 which was 1280x720.
Another leason learned on the Pi.

Thanks guys for all your help and support.
