Doh! I missed the part about adding the user to the input group. It's working now.

Happy to learn that you've made it!

You could connect an IR sensor on your Pi board and use lirc (I must admit, the lirc configuration can be a little of a PITA ) to control Kodi.

Writing the tutorial was by far the easiest part, it took me some weekends to learn how to get Kodi compiled on Slackware ARM and I did annoy some people on the Kodi Forum with a lot of "Linux" questions. Many were Debian/Ubuntu (on which Kodi was also designed/built) users and they didn't understand me and my dependencies compilations & environmental variables setup, I definitely felt like a weirdo

This was definitely a lot of work. I can tell that the touchscreen will not work with kodi from what I was able to gather. That's not a biggie though.

I don't have any experience with touchscreens on Raspberry Pi, but as far as I understand, the touchscreen is usually connected to some data pins on the GPIO, it will need a driver and will work/act like an usual mouse.
https://lektiondestages.blogspot.co....uchscreen.html

Additionally, you'll need to calibrate the touchscreen for Kodi with the help of some tool. Kodi itself has some configuration files (alignment/keymap) that you can use and amend according to your preferences:
https://kodi.wiki/view/advancedsettings.xml#touchscreen
https://kodi.wiki/view/Touch_controls
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/ma...ouchscreen.xml
(this file is to be found in: /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/touchscreen.xml )

There is another way to control Kodi and I deliberately disabled it in the guide, because it needs a dependency and I haven't had were to test this functionality (no TV capable). It's the CEC protocol that some TV sets have it implemented and through which you can use the remote from your TV to control another HDMI-connected device - a Raspberry Pi running Kodi.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consum...ronics_Control
https://kodi.wiki/view/CEC

To get the CEC functionality, the dependency you'll need to compile and install before compiling Kodi is libcec:
https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libce...g/libcec-2.2.0
And in the Kodi build script - configure section you'll need to change:
Code:
  --disable-libcec \
to:
Code:
  --enable-libcec \

@stormtracknole

I got some time today to play with the GUI settings in Kodi, looking after a way to change the default font and increase its size in some fields (failed so far...). While looking into the GUI settings sections I found some options that you should check/enable for your touchscreen functionality:
Settings > System > Input > Enable mouse and touch screen support > Enabled (should be enabled by default)
Settings > Skin settings > General > Touch Mode > Enabled
Settings > Interface > Skin > Estouchy (chose this one for touchscreen support)

Thank you for looking into this. Kodi on a touchscreen would be a cheap way to set up a custom travel entertainment system while on the road.

Worth to mention that you have Kodi for Android on Google Play (Kodi 16 up to Android 4.4 and Kodi 17 for Lollipop onward).
Speaking of mobility, I've already built a cheap (definitely cheaper than your Pi3 ) Slackware ARM powered Pi0 Kodi multimedia travel system (remote included) that will easily fit in my pocket.

So I went through the process on a brand new pi3. I built 17.6 version of kodi. When I type the kodi command, I get the following:
Code:

I tried going back to 17.4 and have the same results. I'm going to backtrack to see if I miss anything. I've already rebuilt the userland raspberry git. Based on the log file, it looks like kodi doesn't have access to the video processor. However, I built omxplayer separately, and that plays HD videos fine.

############### END LOG FILE ################

############ END Kodi CRASH LOG #############
I tried going back to 17.4 and have the same results. I'm going to backtrack to see if I miss anything. I've already rebuilt the userland raspberry git. Based on the log file, it looks like kodi doesn't have access to the video processor. However, I built omxplayer separately, and that plays HD videos fine.
...and of course I did forget a step. For future reference in case someone else has this issue, don't forget about setting up the scripts that handle the libEGL.so links. Those are handled by "glx and glkodi" scripts that need to be created manually on the first page. Otherwise, you'll get the errors that I'm getting.

It's an annoyance for sure and the Kodi Forum is filled with this "Unable to create GUI" Error.
It's enough to inspect the Kodi log (not the crash) and if you spot this:
Code:
ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
then it's about the wrong MESA libs.

I even proposed to hard link these libs in /opt/vc if the Kodi build target is raspberry, but nobody took up the suggestion yet:

Interesting...

So tonight, I finally had a chance to play fully with the build. I played a couple of videos that are 1080 and kodi had no problems at all. One thing I noticed though is that the thumbnail artwork for my detected movies look like 8-bit. I've tried looking through all my settings and can't find anything that can tweak that. I did not have that problem when I used the raspbian version. Have you run into that? It's not a super critical problem as movies play fine with no loss of quality.

I'm usually playing Satellite TV / Online Radio and not really caring too much about local content, apart from music. I do remember however that I struggled to not let Kodi index my music, but let me browse & choose from my folders, same with the movies, for which I actually use the Videos section (not indexing - creating playlist) And now, since I'm only using the tiny Raspberry Pi Zero for Kodi, I'm trying to keep the Kodi interface as lightweight as possible, thus no artwork at all.

Have you checked? :
Settings>System>Display>Enable higher colour depth artwork

Worth mentioning that you need to set your Kodi Settings on Expert Level - I described that in my original post.
For the artwork/information content retrieval you already have some prebuilt addons that you can find in your addons settings, more info about:

Not sure if this is related or not, but even the desktop looks kind of washed out too. If I have "dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d" enabled in my config.txt, that the desktop looks sharp again. However, that breaks kodi. I can grab some screenshots later. Have you noticed this at all?

I'm usually using the Pi boards headless and never loaded the vc4 driver in /boot/config.txt even when using X (xfce).
The ones I'm running Kodi on have the following graphics related settings in /boot/config.txt
Code:
framebuffer_depth=16
# Kodi&co will crash with 24
gpu_mem=256
You could try to go for a 32bit depth in your /boot/config.txt:
Code:
framebuffer_depth=32
framebuffer_ignore_alpha=1
- inspiration, search for the "FRAMEBUFFER_DEPTH" section
https://www.raspberrypi.org/document...g-txt/video.md
- here is another (old) thread about the color depth and the issues
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/41
- and here some info from Kodi:
https://kodi.wiki/view/Video_levels_and_color_space

If you believe that the Kodi GUI looked better under Raspbian, then have a look at the /boot/config.txt under Raspbian and copy the options to your Slackware ARM system. Alternatively, you can try libreELEC and check the options that the setup scripts from within libreELEC came up with in the following files:
https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreEL...der/config.txt
https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreEL...stroconfig.txt
