First off thanks to the developer for this excellent work. I installed it yesterday on my RockPro64 and it's been working smoothly.

The problem I have is that the only application I'd like to run is Kodi (using my box as both a media center connected to the TV and a small server), and I noticed that if I disable the desktop and run "kodi-standalone" (via /etc/rc.local) the performance drops considerably in comparison to running kodi in a desktop (to the point that any video payed gets extremely slow).

Am I doing something wrong? There's maybe another way to run kodi-standalone or I'll be always supposed to run a complete desktop session just to run this single application?

Any help would be appreciated.
Glad it's running smoothly for you on RockPro64 hardware. Unfortunately, kodi included on Armbian-Reforged OS has been compiled from source to support linux desktop use only, not to run like a kodi-standalone application. Maybe in the future we can include a standalone version that runs independently but for now we're focusing entirely on a new DE, fixing small bugs for the upcoming version(currently in beta2), include a theme switcher application to allow OS to look like a MacOS, Win 95, Win XP, Win 7 and Linux Ubuntu, improve its general performance and many more little goodies that has been optimized for Panfrost with HW on Desktop.

I see. I noticed also that the Linux desktop compiled version apparently lacks a couple of default addons, as for example Inputstream Adaptive and Widevine (which are important for using streaming addons like Youtube, Disney+, etc). Anyway, I understand your priorities, and although I don't have experience on code compilling I've read a couple of turorials teaching how to compile Kodi and I'll give them a try. Let's see where it goes Blush

Your project is very promising. Keep up the good work!
