Kodi on Manjaro

[brent.thierens]

Hi

I am trying to run Kodi on Manjaro Linux. After compiling, Kodi runs, but video playback is very slow (1-2 FPS). The same video plays just fine with mpv player or smplayer. I used the PKGBUILD from the x64 Kodi, Kodi-git didn't like custom compile flags. 

I tried compiling with the options provided in the default PKGBUILD. I also edited it to include 

Code:

-DX11_RENDERING_SYSTEM=GLES

that didn't help. I also added flags for

Code:

-DENABLE_GL=OFF
-DENABLE_GLES=ON
-DENABLE_VAAPI=OFF
-DENABLE_VDPAU=OFF

didn't make a difference.

Given the fact that ffmpeg seems to handle the video just fine (mpv is a frontend for ffmpeg, right?), I also tried compiling with 

Code:

-DWITH_FFMPEG=SHARED

to use the ffmpeg from the system, but no luck.
I tried using it on Manjaro, my last tests were with the Panfrost driver active. I also tried once with GL4ES. In order to speed up the build, I only compiled kodi-x11, not kodi-gbm or kodi-wayland.
Worth to mention: on Debian Kodi works fine (although it's a much older version).
