docker-kodi-gbm

The idea of this container is to run Kodi on a X86 linux without X11. Kodi is compiled without X11 and will therefore directly use Linux DRM/DRI to output the Kodi "window". Intel VAAPI is used as hardware acceleration. For NVIDIA or ATI graphic cards you might need to install the corresponding libva-*-driver packages during build as well During build the advancedsettings.xml file is injected to auto-start the Kodi built-in webserver.
