Added Kodi image

[Skerga]

I created an image for Kodi i wanted to share.
I have not yet tested it extensively, but i got controller support working.

currently it builds only the joystick addon. If more addons are required its quite easy to add them.

Thanks for sharing this! 🚀

I've quickly skimmed through the files, is building from source really necessary? Have you tried using the ppa:team-xbmc/ppa from the official docs instead?

Do you really need to hardcode the Xbox controller layout? Wolf can also create a PS or Nintendo virtual joypad depending on the HW plugged on the Moonlight client.

there is no default Keybind included, so we would need to create one config per controller.
I need to check if i can make some config for the other controller types available, sadly i only own a Switch controller out of the list of missing ones.

the ppa isn't updated anymore since the sole maintainer left. https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux
and there is no prebuild for our ubuntu version used by the base image.

Only other possibility would be using the prebuild from ubuntu's repo, but those are modified and don't include some parts to comply with the requirements of them.

You should be able to force a joypad type from the config.toml: https://games-on-whales.github.io/wolf/stable/user/configuration.html#_override_the_default_joypad_mapping

I didn't know about it.. Well, it was worth mentioning it just in case you've missed it!

All controller configs are now added. I only found two minor thing.

• Kodi seems to think it crashes when exited via the menu, creating a crash report in the process.
• The connection does not close automatically on exiting Kodi.

I'll look into that a bit more tomorrow but its nothing really breaking, if you just close it with the moonlight command.

What happened here? Have you merged back master into this branch? It would've been better to rebase instead. Do you want me to fix it or can you take care of it?

[Skerga]

Huh, you're right this looks strange. All I did was a rebase... Maybe I should stop using the vscode git extension and return to CLI. If you want you can fix it. I'm still sick and I think it will take me some more days until I would return to this to fix it.

No worries, I can take care of it!
