A simple systemd service file to run kodi in standalone mode.

Dependency List

xorg-server with xorg-xinit

Post-install instructions

If using xorg version >=1.16 then create /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config containing this line:

allowed_users = anybody

Note that the systemd service requires /var/lib/kodi to be user kodi's homedir. See the readme.install which contains scriptlets used by the Arch Linux package system. Users of other distros can adapt the code therein.
