Hi,
I just downloaded the image and it seems corrupt. Etcher complains before flashing (no valid partition table) and I cannot mount the flashed SD card. Can you provide the checksum or check, if the image on google drive is correct?

One question - Only the Manjaro build has Kodi installed, or? I tried the normal twisterOS from the website and didn't see Kodi in the taskbar.

Regards

Regards,

It's not corrupted, I stand 100% correct on the google drive file. You need to extract it first as I mentioned it on the instructions. The Reason why it's compressed is because is a large image file, weighting 9.4Gb uncompressed.

Armbian-Reforged V1.0 also has a Kodi built-in with full HW acceleration with OpenGL ES 3.0 Panfrost Mesa 21. If you need a built-in Kodi as shown on the screenshot below, I suggest you to try Armbian-Reforged V1.0 which is also smaller with a 5.2Gb image size only.

Kodi is not in TwisterOSArmbianV1-0-beta2.img. I know you confirmed it.. Please triple check?

As noted previously, I did see Kodi in the manjaro version. Liking the debian version but lacking some of the promised apps (kodi for me mostly).

Great work though! I may switch to this soon!

My apologies. Only Armbian-Reforged V1.0 and Manjaro-Twister-XFCE version have Kodi built-it

You may try Armbian-Reforged V1.0 version(debian based):

Ok, It's a bit confusing as of yet, but I am sure you are ironing that out.

I just want all your games and goodies (kodi) on a Debian system for PBP.

Great work dude!  Thank you for the reply!

The Armbian reforged link you provided does include Kodi.. However, I can not get the keyboard working properly for the life of me.  I have an ANSI Pinebook Pro.  I did switch to the pinebookpro dtb file.

Hoping for a TwisterOSArmbianV1-0-beta3.img or RC with Kodi soon, matching the features of the manjaro version if possible.  I just can't use Manjaro or Arch because I don't hate myself.

A few games for your RockRiot thing:
openra, urban terror, eternal lands
