OSMC Test Builds for Kodi 18 for Raspberry Pi 1 & 2/3

Based on the Kodi master L****** (v18) and popcornmix's newclock

Warning
Kodi 18 is currently in alpha and there is likely to be a lot of activity in the coming weeks/months. As these are alpha builds expect some issues.

Before proceeding make sure you have a backup of your Raspberry Pi. As these are test builds there could well be some unexpected problems.

Database upgrades could also be an issue. Please make a backup of the Kodi database before installing, especially if you are running a remote MySQL database.

Installing
You need a working system in order to install these test builds. If you do not have OSMC already installed then go to https://osmc.tv/download/ to install the latest stable version.

To get the test builds, you then need to add gmc-18 to the Debian repository.
This can be by editing /etc/apt/sources.list, and adding the following:

To install a test build, run the following command to update the apt cache:


And then issue the following command to install a test build for Raspberry Pi 2 or 3:


To install a Raspberry Pi 1 or Raspberry Pi Zero build, issue the following command:


You can now update to the latest build when it is published with the following commands:


Support:
Since we are in alpha there could be a lot of incompatibilities with skins and addons. To resolve these its best taking the issue up with the addon developer.

If you have any issues with OSMC please provide debug logs. Most probems are almost impossible to fix if we don't have the debug logs.
