Nux, thanks for you help. I've been following and adapting this guide as necessary: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_on_Fedora_25_using_RPMFusion_packages Until the point where it says to install kodi... There is no kodi in RPMFusion repo for Centos, only Fedora... But, I see that you are wrapping kodi for centos. After a little searching I came across your repos here: http://mirrors.coreix.net/li.nux.ro/nux/tmp/kodi717/ My questions - can I use your repo as a drop in for the Fedora kodi repo at RPM Fusion? - what's the difference between kodi7/ and kodi717/ ? Many thanks Morgan.
