Kodi packaged for use with Ubuntu Frame on Ubuntu Core
For information on deploying an IoT GUI based on Ubuntu Frame see: https://mir-server.io/docs/how-to-guides
This snap will only work on Wayland compositors, but doesn't require Ubuntu Frame specifically. For example, it can be used on GNOME/Wayland by running mir-kiosk-kodi, but that isn't the intended use.
When used on Ubuntu Core, mir-kiosk-kodi will automatically run as a daemon on startup. If building an embedded system based on another OS then you may need to enable the daemon with:
snap set mir-kiosk-kodi daemon=true

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for CentOS 7.6+, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:
sudo yum install epel-release
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install Kodi packaged as an IoT GUI, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install mir-kiosk-kodi
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
