kodi-git build script for mainline hwaccel media decoding

[spikerguy]

@spikerguy

if you have built linux and ffmpeg with the linux-hwaccel and ffmpeg-v4l2request patches, i'm assuming you should be able to add gbm and gles from configure to an existing kodi PKGBUILD.

i run all these scripts from debian sid arm64 and dependencies are largely solved with "apt-get build-dep kodi ffmpeg".  i do plan to update debian dependencies shortly. i'm not that familiar with pacman - does it have a similar build-dep command?

my assumption is you would want to convert these scripts to PKGBUILDs in manjaro. happy to help that if i can.

can you post the kodi build log?

note: i steal the "full" ffmpeg configure directly from debian-multimedia.org's debian package and add the needed v4l2-request additions. you could adapt this for manjaro by removing anything not included in the repo?

Thank you for the clarification. I just wanted to make sure I follow what is in your scripts. 

As it is clear now, I will try to build ffmpeg with v4l2_request enabled and kodi with gbm instead of x11.

I did try to play a video with linux_hwacc and ffmpeg_hwacc and I see there is some less load on cpu as compared to before where I used ffmpeg to play the video and not mpv. There is some video tearing which is fine as hw decoding is still wip.

I will try to rebuild kodi and ffmpeg again tonight.

Thanks.
