I have raspberry piOS with i3 desktop.

I followed the instructions on this page, which describes official tweaks for rpi4 and Kodi.

Initially I set the gpu mem value to 1024 and it wouldn't boot. So I set the value to 256 and kodi still freezes on launch.

EDIT: increased to 512 still no change

EDIT 2:

here is the last few hundred lines from the the log file at ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log

EDIT 3:

I noticed the log complaining about permissions earlier in the file, so I ran kodi as sudo and it opened just fine. However, exiting the program through the GUI caused a system freeze.

It launches, emits a sound, then a popup says something about using an old version and that a newer one is available. I then cannot select "ok" and I have to reboot the pi.

When I reboot, I go to upgrade kodi but apt says the newest version is already installed.

    There's no point in increasing GPU memory on a Pi 4 above 128M. Whatever issue you have is likely not related to it.

It can be due to many things. Have you checked Kodi's log file? you can find it ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log. it gives good information if you add log lines to the question

  • I ran it as sudo and it opened and worked just fine, however exiting through the GUI button caused another system freeze... nothing in the logs

  • @bitShift sometimes it happens to me, i didn't figure it out why. I've made a button on my raspberry that starts/stops kodi using kodi-send and python.
