v19 FreeBSD 13 - Kodi 19.1 - ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
#1
Hello,
sorry for n00b Question:

How to get kodi to run on freebsd.

Here is what I did.

Install FreeBSD13 without Xorg (Console only)

freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install
pkg update
pkg install kodi libbluray libcec dav1d lcms2 libass libcrossguid curl ffmpeg libfmt fstrcmp lzo2 spdlog sqlite3 taglib waylandpp libGLU


When I try to start kodi.... got this error:

kodi@kodi:~ $ kodi
hdac0: Reset setting timeout
ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting


How can I fix this ?

So, what were you expecting? Kodi running in text-mode? I mean, I do see "waylandpp" on the install line, but...

Also, we have a bold red text on each thread page above the Post Reply button. It would be really great if you followed that instruction next time(s).

I just wanted to inform that there is no Xorg etc. installed...

You need to build Kodi with the gbm platform if you want to run on the frame buffer without x11 or wayland.

What do I need to install that it runs with wayland ? Witch packages are missing ?
