x11docker got an update today to improve VA-API / VDPAU support. This serves to allow video decoding on the GPU and might improve docker-kodi a lot. https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/issues/443#issuecomment-1144800334

You'll likely have to build the image yourself on the RasPi, so it will be based on arm architecture instead of amd64.

This is a bug in x11docker, not from the kodi image. I have fixed it in x11docker master branch, should work now. Please update and try out. However, I doubt...

On x11docker side the bug is basically fixed. However, kodi fails with: ``` $ x11docker --wayland erichough/kodi ---> starting Kodi with command: kodi-standalone Error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kodi/kodi-gbm not found Error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kodi/kodi-gbm not...

I've added `RUN apt-get install -y kodi-gbm` and get a different message: ``` ---> starting Kodi with command: kodi-standalone ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting ERROR: Unable to create GUI....

Option `--homedir` is deprecated and replaced by `--home=DIR`. Compare: ``` Shared folders: -m, --home [=DIR] Share a host folder as home folder in container to store persistent data. Uses ~/.local/share/x11docker/IMAGENAME....

I've added docker volume support for options `--home` and `--share`. I hope that I did not introduce new bugs. ``` Shared host folders or Docker volumes: -m, --home [=ARG] Create...

Basic thought: Maybe kodi cannot handle the device file directly but needs the dvd to be mounted. Share the mount point. Some systems automatically mount dvds in `/media`. Maybe `--share...
