Hi @jernej,
First I wanna thank you for your great work with your kodi support for OPi. Now I would  ...

Be prepared for a lot of work. Exact commit is not the issue here. I started on master branch and jump on openelec-7.0 when they created it. I constantly pull all the changes they make.

What I suggest you to do is that you start from my LibreELEC port https://github.com/jernejsk/LibreELEC.tv It already contains working Kodi 18 without HW decoding and rendering. Non critical patches were removed. They can be added later (libcec for example). Some H3 components are a bit outdated, but this can be easily updated later. What is problematic here is that Kodi 18.0 change a lot of code around the codecs and renderers. That means that you have to basically rewrite kodi-005-H3-support.patch. Fortunatelly, most of the codec code is reusable while I would rewrite renderer code from scratch and wouldn't piggyback on GLES renderer anymore.

My LibreELEC repo is slightly outdated, so pull upstream changes first. There might be minimal conflicts. Fell free to ask, I would be glad to help.

What image specifically are you using? Did you build it yourself? Please also try with other perip ...

No self build. OpenELEC-H3.arm-7.0-devel-20161026221506-r23113-g64b34b3-opipc.img from download section. The same wasn't working before. Strange thing is, i add my keybord+tuch as before and this doesn't interupt CEC as before. Restart with it, CEC is connecting fine. I don't know what do the magic. The only diference is first boot with no peripheral attached.

I don't need the DE. I'd like the os start into kodi, but I'd like also to modify the system, install and manage all I want. E.g. I can't use apt-get in openelec

If you dont need X11 then it should work, but this patched Kodi doesn't come in any install friendly version. Download correct sources (16.1) patch it using patches from my github and then build it.

I'm not very good in this things, but I can try! Thank you a lot!!

EDIT: I had to download the sources of kodi, aplly the patches that I found on your github anc then compile with the instructions that I found on the FAQ on the forum?

I forgot my github pass, so i will write here. I can't build image from https://github.com/jernejsk/OpenELEC-OPi2. Error is:

1. Cant't get ccache sources : http://samba.org/ftp/ccache/ccache-3.3.3.tar.bz2
   
2. Try later !!
   
3. Makefile:10: recipe for target 'image' failed

4. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
   

Copy code

About sources.openelec.tv, there is no ccache-3.3.3.tar.bz2, so maybe this is normal behaviour.

About http://samba.org/ftp/ccache/ccache-3.3.3.tar.bz2, i noticed it's https, not http, so the correct link must be https://samba.org/ftp/ccache/ccache-3.3.3.tar.bz2 .
I try to manually copy ccache-3.3.3.tar.bz2 to /OpenELEC-OPi2/sources/ccache , but the script still try to download it and i have the same error.
Where can i edit this to correct the link? Or how can i skip downloading of this file, since i manually download it (if it is in correct directory)?

Easy, just search through packages. Then you will found this:
packages/devel/ccache/package.mk

There you can easily fix the issue, as I will do on github.
