Solved: Kodi alongside MoOde

Moode is primarily designed to a headless music player for Hi-Fi systems (i.e. without a TV).

Presuming you have a TV/display hooked up to your Pi in order to be using Kodi there's not much reason to be trying to run Kodi on Moode, you're just making things hard for yourself.

  1. My setup is a RPi with an added Hifiberry DAC. Already making that hardware setup work (music to the Hifiberry output, audio of everything else to the HDMI) is problematic. And it's because of how Kodi is designed.
  2. There is not a single Internet radio addon that is capable to output to the Hifiberry.
  3. Listening to Internet radios on Kodi means to make some manual tweaks on the system. The result is ok, but MoOde is better.
  4. The volume cursor is not handy in both the web interface and in Kore (the Android offical Kodi remote app).
  5. Kodi does not use the MPD engine. Therefore I cannot easily connect my smartphone to my Kodi music library to play it on it.
In principle the coexistence of MoOde and Kodi would mean to have something that is designed for music playing music and something deisgned for video playing video. The first connected to my hifi system, the second to my TV.
