      After a disaster in my Odroid XU 4. I opted to make a clean and fresh installation of retropie with minimal image Ubuntu 18.04. I used this guide:

      https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Odroid-XU3-XU4/

      It runs perfectly all but I want to add the kodi inside retropie and I know you need to go to manage packages opt packages and install from binary in
      retropie setup but I don’t see kodi how you can enable it there?

      Of course when I installed retropie I gave update script and then basic install. But no kodi is shown in opt packages. What could be the problem?

        Kodi is not enabled for Odroid, only for RPI and PC systems.

            Not without modification to the script that does the installation. Note that Kodi is downloaded from the repositories provided by the Kodi team, if they have a repository for Odroid (XU4 or compatible), this can be added to the install script.
            Is there a Kodi version - installable via apt - for the Odroid Ubuntu distro ?

              I made this commands:

              sudo apt-get update
              sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
              sudo apt-get install --reinstall kodi-bin
              sudo apt-get install --reinstall kodi
              

              All appears fine it says installed something. How you can enable that to the setup?

                @ray3d Does it actually run ? You can add a new Kodi entry in the ports system, just add a kodi.sh file containing the launch command

                #!/usr/bin/env bash
                kodi
                

                then restart Emulationstation and you should have a Kodi entry under the Ports system.

                    @ray3d I'm referring to the ports system - the ROM folder under roms - not the scripts folder.
