RaspEX Kodi Build 250730 with LXQt/Kodi 21.2 ("Omega") is made especially for the new Raspberry Pi 5. In RaspEX Kodi I’ve added the LXQt 2.1 Desktop with many useful applications, such as NetworkManager. Makes it easy to configure your wireless network. I’ve also upgraded Kodi to version 21.2 "Omega" , which makes it possible to include many useful Add-ons.
PERFORMANCE
RaspEX Kodi is now very fast and responsive. And the video performance is brilliant. Almost as good as if you use a new "big" computer.
INSTALLATION
Use Rufus 4.7 in Windows to transfer the IMAGE file to a SD card.
USED KERNELS
Kernel 6.12.40-exton-v8-16k+ for Rpi5. You can ONLY run this RaspEX Kodi version on a Raspberry Pi 5.
ABOUT Kodi 21.2

I have created permanent API keys so that the YouTube Add-on will work.

Despite few minor drawbacks, I've decided RaspEX Kodi to be my heart of choice for Pi 4.

I am running Raspex Kodi on a Rasperry Pi 4 B. With a Miuzei 4" HDMI LCD screen. Everything woks except Kodi. When I launch it a black screen with text opens briefly. To briefly for me to read it. It then closes and nothing else happens. Any help?

Softpedia 190321: RaspEX Project brings Kodi 18.1 and Linux Kernel 5.0 to Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ "RaspEX developer Arne Exton released today a new version of his Raspbian/Debian-based distribution for the tiny Raspberry Pi single-board computers with all the latest GNU/Linux technologies. Based on Debian GNU/Linux and Raspberry Pi's Raspbian operating systems, RaspEX Kodi Build 190321 is now available with the latest Kodi 18.1 "Leia" media center software featuring add-ons for watching Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Plex, as well as the lightweight LXDE desktop environment with VLC media player and NetworkManager. RaspEX Kodi Build 190321 is also powered by the latest and greatest Linux 5.0 kernel series, which apparently works very well with the recently launched Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ single-board computer. However, while Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is recommended for RaspEX, you can also install it on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B or the older Raspberry Pi 2 Model B."
