The DietPi images are not generally build on the buildserver?

https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/

The DietPi_ROCKPro64-ARMv8-Buster.7z is from march: 2020-03-02 23:11 98M
The DietPi_ROCK64-ARMv8-Buster.7z is from december 2020-12-16 17:05 125M

Can you update the ROCKPro64?

thx...

Indeed images are not automatically build currently. However, every image is updated automatically on first boot with increment migration steps, where required. But yes, I'll update the ROCKPro64 image now, as it is quite old, to prevent the unnecessary large amount APT package upgrades.

EDIT: New image has been uploaded: https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/Diet...-Buster.7z

Hi,
can I use dietPi for a HW accelerated playback of videos via Kodi? I am looking for a small image and it seems, from reading, that you need some kind of special build parameters for Kodi / ffmpeg / drm hwaccel to get it working.

We keep it in testing until it has been proven to boot fine in some more cases . I just moved it to stable downloads.
