Hi, I have recently installed retropie on an old PC ive had laying around in hopes of playing some games and using it as a media centre. I tried installing kodi from the install script and it can't install the binary. If I try to install it manually it works just fine but not through retropie. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

It's an issue with the Kodi team's Ubuntu's PPA, their repository doesn't include the kodi-inputstream-rtmp package, causing an installation conflict because of the Kodi version shipped with Ubuntu 22.04.

We'll sort this out, in the mean time you can just create a kodi.sh file in $HOME/RetroPie/ports with the command to start kodi:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
kodi-standalone

@mitu Hi, I could not seem to find a folder called ports in that directory so I created one and created the file. Kodi does not seem to show up as an option in the ports menu. Am I doing something wrong?

I think you need to have at least (another) port package installed, so EmulationStation is configured for it. Try installing cannonball, then restart EmulationStation.

EDIT: Try updating RetroPie-Setup and re-run the installation again.

@mitu Thanks, updating the script and reinstalling helped.
