Kodi does not respond to inputs Topic is solved

[dgiglio]

I've connected my RaspberryPi to my TV via HDMI wire, and configured DietPi to autostart Kodi but it doesn't respond to any command, via remote control neither if I plug a keyboard directly into the USB port.

The board behaves normally if I type when on the console.

I use a Raspberry Pi Model B Plus Rev 1.2

Any clue?
Thanks in advance

UPDATE

The issue seems related to the user privileges of whom runs the applications. No problems when I use root, otherwise no response when using the "diepi" user (uid:1000, gid:1000).

But, well, I suppose it's unnecessary to say that I'd prefer not to run common user applications as root.

Any clue?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

currently auto-start applications require user root otherwise you could have applications failing. This is already know and might change in a later release.

Well, in this case the config dialog should not query the op about the profile user he wants to use.

As I said, this is known and will be fixed in a later release.
