I have no experience with running XBMC/Kodi on rpi/rpi2. Since you
compile it yourself you can ask aroud upstream:
http://kodi.wiki/view/Raspberry_Pi_2

You can also check XBian for configuration flags/patches.
http://www.xbian.org/raspberry-pi-2-landed/

When the freeze is over I'll check if I can merge their patches if needed.

Cheers,
Balint
