I purchased two of these boards with intentions to use as media servers with Kodi, maybe I should have done additional homework if I cannot play 4K@60fps
Probably not. There is RKMC [1], a fork off Kodi 16.1. However, Rock64's RK3328 is not mentioned and not included in [2]. Because the contents of [2] are compiled libraries, I suppose one cannot compile them for the newer RK3328 oneself due to lack of sources for presumably librkmcplayer.so and libvpu.so. The libmpp.so is a hint for what the Kodi devs meant by circumventing the android API - they have their own one [3]. Their wiki probably also answers my own question. There are no players that will work out-of-the-box. The best chance to get something running is a gstreamer based player like totem - if you manage to build and use their gstreamer plugin. Other players like mpv that use ffmpeg directly, will need an adapted version that uses Rockchip's Mpp, as seen in the System Diagram.
Quote:Mpp plans to support serval userspace applications including OpenMax, FFmpeg,gstreamer, libva.
So far I have only seen the gstreamer plugin.
