ok issue is with Kodi package 18.7 on Raspberry OS 64bit. It doesn’t seems to be available on Debian repository

using 32bit image instead, and kodi should be working

Yep, That was it.

Hello,
I wonder if anyone have sucessfully installed KODI on the ARMv8-Buster and Raspberry Pi4?
I know it works fine on the 32 bit OS version but having 4GB or more RAM in the Pi4 makes the 64 bit must faster in many applications. The KODI GUI itself could run faster while navigating and playing something at the same time

This is an issue outside DietPi. Best to my knowledge, still something to be implemented by RPI Foundation on Raspberry OS 64bit Beta. Btw you can use the 4 GB ram as well on a 32bit system. Ok not with a single process but in total the system is able to utilise the 4GB with multiple processes without issues.
