Once I got RKMPP working for everything, Kodi turns out to be the only thing that DOESN'T use it.
So Kodi still plays videos for me the same way as before, which is to say, without codec assistance, terribly.
4K videos skip hundreds of frames per minute, and 1080 HEVC videos skip 1 or 2 frames every second or two.
But if I make kodi shell out to external player mpv, it plays fine because mpv supports rkvdec (but then I can't control mpv while kodi is running - keyboard/mouse input still go to kodi-gbm process instead of newly spawned mpv process).
Some more effort is needed.
I need to figure out how come my ffmpeg with rkmpp support isn't helping Kodi at all, especially since I don't want to shell out to an external player just to watch 1080p videos without framerate issues. I must have built my Kodi wrong.
