Good to all I’m new to the forum and my problem is:
I have the Raspberry Pi 3, have the Ubuntu Mate operating system, you could install the Kodi program, but when I give you to watch a movie is loading and exit the program.
How do I watch the movies?
Two months later and I’m having the same issue. Kodi doesn’t launch. It crashes before it can ever launch. Been researching it. Haven’t found cause. Will report back when/if I find something.
@wolfman The Kodi Wiki doesn’t acknowledge Ubuntu MATE, which is odd. Makes me wonder if Kodi developers did not have a hand in what’s in the Ubuntu MATE repository.
The answer may also lie in this thread – http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=272204

It could be an architecture thing (I’m on a PC, Intel CPU; first gen i5). Maybe the build for the RPi3 is just broken? Dependency issues maybe?
@1Q7FE6zp The RPi3 install of Ubuntu MATE uses RPi3 repositories (software built for ARM, not i386 or amd64) so there never was a question of CPU architecture. If it’s a dependency issue then they’re not being called upon properly. If it’s just broken…well…all the more reason why I posted my experience. It was the first package install after initial boot-up so no system modifications are in the way to speak of.

Scenario 2: Me, with my x86-64 architecture, installing Kodi from the standard repositories. And it’s working just fine.
The variable? Architecture. Anyhow, I’d suggest simply continuing on with the process of elimination. Approaching this from an investigative point of view. And remembering Occam’s Razor.
Again, not sure how the non-ARM build of Kodi could be installed when only ARM repositories are in the software sources of the RPi3 install of Ubuntu MATE. Mayne I’m not explaining it correctly.
Here’s a link to the crash log – https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Zp3ZeNX1yvM1NvbkJ0VWRBZFk/view?usp=sharing
Kodi from Debian compiled from 15.2+dfsg1-3ubuntu1 by GCC 5.3.1 for Linux ARM (Thumb) 32-bit version 4.4.6 (263174)
So, safe to say that I’m using an ARM build of Kodi on the ARM platform. Now, I’m horrible at interpreting crash logs so any assistance from anyone would be much appreciated.

I’m assuming that the sole difference between the ARM and x86 repositories for Kodi is just that, the architecture.
Which does not necessarily have to be the case. Although, with a project of Kodi’s renown, one would expect crossplatform builds to be of the same developmental state.
Regardless, that crashlog… is quite interesting, actually. Some investigation into what we’re getting out of it suggests that a bug report is indeed in order.
See log:
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
