Kodi packaged as an IoT GUI

Kodi packaged as an IoT GUI is a Linux software package that prepares Kodi for use as a graphical interface in an IoT setting. It is intended for Ubuntu Frame on Ubuntu Core. The package is relevant to developers and system builders deploying an IoT GUI, including embedded systems based on another operating system.

It works only with Wayland compositors. Ubuntu Frame is not required, so it can also be used with other Wayland environments. For example, it can run on GNOME with Wayland by using the command mir-kiosk-kodi, although that is not the intended deployment context. On Ubuntu Core, mir-kiosk-kodi automatically runs as a daemon when the system starts.

When an embedded system is built on another operating system, the daemon may need to be enabled with snap set mir-kiosk-kodi daemon=true. This places the package within Linux deployments that provide a Wayland compositor, with Ubuntu Core and Ubuntu Frame as its primary context. MirrorNest lists it in the Music & Audio category and identifies its license as free.

MirrorNest does not mirror the package itself. Instead, it links directly to the official release, giving users a catalog entry that points to the original distribution.
