Yes it going to need a lot of cool....

Pi noob here.
Just got my Pi4 4GB delivered- can someone kindly point me in the direction of a Kodi setup? I know basically nothing about Pi's.

Thanks - didn't know that had replenished stock on the 4GB model

Yeah I have it on my wishlist to get notifications on when stock arrives, but that little feature seems broken at the moment. Logged in out of curiosity and saw they had stock.

Although- it says 4GB on the box- paranoid me will have to verify that somehow.

Just install OSMC operating system. Been using it for years now. First on Pi 2 now Pi 3.

I assume that you received an SD card with it. This usually has the NOOBS bootup on it. This will then allow you to select the OS to install, there should be the OSMC option as MavChat suggested.

Thanks, yes I did. I wasn't sure if there were Kodi-specific OS options (instead of, for lack of a better word, 'generic' OS'es with Kodi installed on top of it)

There is LibreElec as well.

I use libreelec and it work like a charm

I prefer LibreElec but I don't think it's available on noobs by default. So OSMC may be a better option while he learns the ropes.

It is on NOOBS- installed it last night, got Netflix working on Kodi this morning. Will do the rest of the setup tonight. This little Pi will be going to my parents for their caravan- they both took retirement last year.

I would normally suggest OSMC but it doesn't support the Pi4 yet. A number of build issues which is being worked on.

 

[Superman-7]

Have a nodejs program running on my pi, monitoring crypto prices and exchanges and sending me email alerts.

Want to try upgrade it to a .net core api that my custom Android app that I wrote can talk to - but can't find the time.

Yes, I know there are websites that offer a similar notification service - but mine is free and fully customizable

 

[LawrenceK]

Care to share said nodejs program ?

Why on earth is it still so hard to get widevine on the the rpi even four years later?

I know right? With the Netflix Kodi Add on it took forever to download and install. Rather got an android tv box for my Netflix and DSTV now, use the R-Pi for my 8TB Movie and Series library.

I had no issues setting up Kodi + Netflix on two new Pi's (running libreelec), both worked flawlessly. Installation was quick, setup was quick, all worked first time.

Installation was not the problem its the download and install of Widevine that killed it. Every now and then it would fail and then I have to reload Widevine.
