Hi,

maybe this link will help to answer your question viewtopic.php?p=28497#p28497

dietpi-services dont show kodi in the list (which is logic) because it's not running yet!

[Joulinar]

install Kodi and you should be able to change the service

Will this be applied to all softwares or i should do the same thing for each one?

Now kodi is running and i did dietpi-services in terminal ssh but no kodi entry is available

best to my knowledge, kodi is not manged via dietpi-services.

This will leads us to my main question
How to run softwares using dietpi user not root. Because all softwares are running under root only!

[Joulinar]

that's not true. There are quite a lot of software title using their own user. Nearly all applications using their own user. Kodi is an exception.
