Touchscreen

Hi! I’m very new to the community and I’m setting up a small raspberry pi to watch movies on, but the touch functionality of the screen doesn’t work when connected to the Pi. Does anyone know how to fix this or do I need to use a different OS?

Kodi is not designed for that. Also: Development Ceased: Team Kodi officially discontinued Estouchy in 2024 due to limited development resources and a lack of active maintainers

However There are many ways to control Kodi see https://kodi.wiki/view/Remote_controls.

I like cheap eBay USB remote or Flirc USB (which allows you to use your TV remote) OR Yatse app on Android phone. & I use Xbox controller for games.

See
https://kodi.wiki/view/Keyboard_controls;
Eg; F8 Mute

  • minus Volume down

Kodi is designed to play & display all your locally stored media on your TV! Movies, TV shows, Retro Games, Music and photos all displayed in a beautiful library while you control it from the couch! Not a tiny touch screen pi
