[rpi 4 8gb] Can't start Kodi

I made it work on a fresh 64-bit dietpi (arm v8 if I remember correctly). There, everything works as you describe it. The error message appears but everything else works as expected.

However, with any of the 32-bit versions kodi doesn’t work after the message appears. I have observed two different behaviours:

  • if I’m connected to the pi via a usb keyboard and HDMI display, the terminal freezes. Then, when I move around with the keyboard arrows I hear kodi’s main menu sounds. It seems like it is actually running but being displayed somewhere else.

  • when I’m connected via ssh, after the message I can just Ctrl-C to stop the process.

Sorry if I’m not being clear enough, I’m writing this while commuting. I can run some tests and show you the error messages in the evening when I get back home.
