hi, ktaragorn, to answer in reverse order...
... the red light is normal. It is simply a power indicator. The very early development models had green lights. Some digital photographs of the red-light boards 'look' green do to brightness overexposure... the power-on indicator is a red light on solid indicating proper voltage.
The issue you are having with your kodi performance is a known video issue due to the lack of a proper video driver that will handle hardware acceleration. The folks volunteering to fix this issue are working their tails off to get it working properly, but its not quite ready.
The PineA64 won't be the full media center kiosk appliance you were hoping for until the video issues are resolved with the mali blobs from Allwinner.
