vfio VS Kodi Home Theater Software

If you love wasting time you could give my script a shot as well from a terminal with your gpu as the -pci argument, but you'll also want to give it your USB controllers too.

These boot arguments allow me to give my VM cores 3,11 to my guest while my host continues to operate (and handle any IOThreads I may have running for the guest) on the remaining cores 0(thread0,12), core1(thread1,13) and core3 (thread2,14). Personally, I handle my pinning dynamically with a bash script I wrote and still today find myself adding features and making improvements to. It can be found here if you want to give it a shot for your use case.

You may wish to try my vfio script which handles all of that automatically. Could be worth a try.

I've missed no opportunity to plug it lately, but the slew of people using hardcoded scripts copy-pasted from some guide or youtube video has never felt right to me. I made my own dynamic script which handles most vfio problems on the fly rather than hardcoding start.sh/stop.sh scripts per configuration. It could be worth checking out given I made it for Archlinux (my desktop) and you seem to be running that too.

You may wish to dig through or simply execute my script which does the exact same thing and extra. I didn't want to use hardcoded VM XMLs and up/down scripts so I made a script which does it all for me, and when run in dry mode outputs all the qemu arguments it would have used. I'm constantly improving it every chance I get, but as it currently stands, if you gave it some PCI arguments it would spit out some potentially useful qemu arguments which could be useful in your scenario described above.

It's up to you whether you want to reserve it for the VM at boot and never use it (Waste of resources imo) or just unbind the nvidia driver and pass it through on the fly. Some PCI devices don't like it I've heard, but I haven't had any trouble with my 2080ti. My script which I've been using and improving on/off over the past few years does it this way.

Fair, I've been using VFIO for those troublesome titles myself. Making a Win10 VM and passing it my GPU for fully accelerated gameplay and so crisply tuned that I can't even tell it's a VM. I even made a script to make it easy for myself day in and out.

I'm not sure if its what you have in mind, but I currently call qemu directly with my vfio script. I run it from the terminal and my screen goes black and then shows the Windows boot process and login screen. Once I shut down Windows, my display manager welcomes me with a login screen again.

All of this is how I do it for VFIO gaming in my automatic vfio management script which at least tries to clean up after itself when the VM exits.

I suppose its a bit of an edge case but the games I want to play are already available on this side of the fence leaving me in a position where everything has worked out pretty damn smoothly. But for the rare title that I'm desperate to play but doesn't work in Linux I've written myself a little vfio script in case I ever really need to run some software with my GPU passed through. Granted more aggressive anti-cheats still won't play nice without some more serious under the hood modification of the host kernel and qemu binary, it works for just about everything. But I only need to fire up that VM like once every few months.

Even Kodi-centred distributions like OSMC or LibreELEC do not have Kodi as an operating system but as a program that runs on top of an underlying OS. Kodi’s code can be compiled for many operating systems and platforms but it’s not an OS. There’s no need for it, it overcomplicates chtings.

Honestly? I use https://beets.io/ to organise all my FLAC on my NAS.

I expose the /Music directory over NFC.

I use https://kodi.tv/ to stream music to my amp. I manually pick the album I want to listen to.

Kodi also has a fairly reasonable web UI.

Keep it simple.

Kodi - media platform.

For example, the Jellyfin AndroidTV app won’t direct play a lot of my media so it has to transcode. So I now use the Jellyfin for Kodi Addon on Kodi and I’ve never had to transcode.

Use a console (Xbox/playstation) as a client for a media server (Plex, Emby, or Kodi)
