Kodi (formerly known as XBMC) is an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub that can be installed on Linux, OSX, Windows, iOS and Android, featuring a 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls.
Module usage
The NixOS module for kodi sets kodi up as a desktop session. With this configuration kodi will run automatically on boot:
{
services.xserver.enable = true;
services.xserver.desktopManager.kodi.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.autoLogin.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.autoLogin.user = "kodi";
users.extraUsers.kodi.isNormalUser = true;
# Define a user account
users.extraUsers.kodi.isNormalUser = true;
# allow everybody in the net to access the wifi
networking.firewall = {
allowedTCPPorts = [ 8080 ];
allowedUDPPorts = [ 8080 ];
};
}
With wayland
Especially on less-powerful ARM boards the wayland variant is faster. In this example cage, kiosk compositor for Wayland, will run kodi as its only application:
{
# Define a user account
users.extraUsers.kodi.isNormalUser = true;
services.cage.user = "kodi";
services.cage.program = "${pkgs.kodi-wayland}/bin/kodi-standalone";
services.cage.enable = true;
}
