RaspEX Kodi Build 240215 with LXQt/Kodi 20.3 is made especially for the new Raspberry Pi 5. In RaspEX Kodi I’ve added the LXQt Desktop with many useful applications, such as NetworkManager. Makes it easy to configure your wireless network. I’ve also upgraded Kodi to version 20.3, which makes it possible to include many useful Add-Ons.

PERFORMANCE
RaspEX Kodi is now very fast and responsive, especially if you run RaspEX on the new Raspberry Pi 5. And the video performance is brilliant. Almost as good as if you use a new "big" computer.

INSTALLATION
Use Rufus 4.4 in Windows to transfer the IMAGE file to a SD card.

USED KERNELS
Kernel 6.1.77-exton-v8-16k+ for Rpi5
Kernel 6.1.0-rpi8-rpi-v8 for Rpi4
The system will automatically determine which Raspberry Pi you are using and load the correct kernel.

Run the command "sudo apt install libwidevinecdm0" for DRM support in Firefox.

  • 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."
