Yes. Thanks for noticing that.

Balint will be in a better position to answer those. But on the RPi,
kodi-standalone runs on Frame Buffer. There is no X server.

kodi-standalone is just a shell script, doing some housekeeping. Here's
the main snippet on how it fires up kodi.

PS: This is just for the sake of conversation here. I don't know if the
same is used in Debian.


while [ $(( $LOOP )) = "1" ]
do
  $APP
  RET=$?
  NOW=$(date +%s)
  if [ $(( ($RET >= 64 && $RET <=66) || $RET == 0 )) = "1" ]; then #
clean exit
    LOOP=0
  else # crash
    DIFF=$((NOW-LASTSUCCESSFULSTART))
    if [ $(($DIFF > 60 )) = "1" ]; then # Not on startup, ignore
      LASTSUCESSFULSTART=$NOW
      CRASHCOUNT=0
    else # at startup, look sharp
      CRASHCOUNT=$((CRASHCOUNT+1))
      if [ $(($CRASHCOUNT >= 3)) = "1" ]; then # Too many, bail out
        LOOP=0
        echo "${APP} has exited uncleanly 3 times in the last ${DIFF}
seconds."
        echo "Something is probably wrong"
      fi
    fi
  fi
done
