kodi-git build script for mainline hwaccel media decoding

you probably need to add your user to the input group.: sudo adduser <user> input

Yep that was the trick! I actually found that on some Kodi thread somewhere

Now video playback fails to work, there's no content and it just gives me a nice cursor trail instead

The kodi.log is getting spammed with:
CDVDVideoCodecDRMPRIME::GetFormat - unsupported pixel format
CDVDVideoCodecDRMPRIME::AddData - send packet failed: Invalid data found when processing input (-1094995529)

Not sure where I went wrong

your build steps need to be linux > (mesa) > ffmpeg > (libudfread) > kodi, with (package) being optional, but recommended. is that what you did?

Just tried building all these again in that order, getting the same result

[xmixahlx]

are you building mesa? do you have X/wayland running?
kill X/wayland
run: ffmpeg -re -hwaccel drm -hwaccel_device /dev/dri/card0 -i <VIDEOFILE> -pix_fmt bgra -report -t 1 -f fbdev /dev/fb0
upload the log here. it will be ffmpeg_date.log in the terminal directory.

Hi @xmixahlx

I have added your vdec patch to `linux-pinebookpro` it built fine then I tried building ffmpeg full but it have too many extra libs enabled so I moved to ffmpeg with only v4l2_request and it was build just fine.

Now I am stuck with kodi-git I tried my PKGBuild with your config and it fails with errors then I think I will just run your script and it fails with missing deps and after I install those deps then it fails with missing packages which are not part of arch linux example `fstrcmp` and `libdvdread` errors.

Have you tried building using the kodi script on your pbp-tools repo? Can you add full dep list?

Thanks for your work.

see CMakeLists.txt and note the -DENABLE_INTERNAL_?=OFF entries, and the ON entries under general. you may have to toggle those. also review required dependencies, and optional:

you may need to pair these down. when you get something that works, LMK.

kill X/wayland

Yes I'm building mesa (KDE works great with it) and yes I'm trying to run kodi without x/wayland running at the time

That test seems to work fine, I tried clearing my .kodi directory too but I'm really at a loss here

i updated the ffmpeg and kodi scripts. hopefully that solves both of your issues.

unclear why i don't see the same problems, but we'll figure it out.

@spikerguy try BUILDCONFIG=internal ./pbp-build-kodi

there is a change in installdirs:
manually delete the old ffmpeg includes in /usr/local/include/aarch64-linux-gnu
manually delete kodi libs in /usr/local/lib, i moved them to /usr/local/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu

My latest build is working now, great work!
1080p H.264 and H.265 (even 10 bit!) are both working well

Now hopefully some day the userspace apis will get figured out and we can run MPV on x/wayland but this is more than good enough for now

[xmixahlx]

excellent. i've been pleased with kodi + inputstream.adaptive + youtube + jellyfin for most of my media. there is some new progress with gstreamer that i am following that looks promising. more to come.
