mx3L can you please update and keep the manual in #1 up to date (if something has changed since)

what packages are required so the whole process gets through.. its annoying to find an error after few hours that java is not installed  )

Im trying to build the kodi-image on debian server so there was few things I was missing (like java or doxygen) so my compilation failed

I went through the log and installed the missing bits and bobs and started from scratch

now Im getting this:

 

ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'kodi-image'

 

 

is the #1 still up to date or has something changed? I wasn't getting this error before

Hello,

As you probably already know there exists Kodi (XBMC) 13.2 plugin for other images like OpenATV, OpenBH, BH.. but this version is outdated. As a consequence many addons are not supported anymore.

Since XBMC modified by vuplus is mostly open-source(aside gles initialization), I ported/modified all neccessary changes to make update to latest stable version of Kodi possible.

Changes:

Kodi:
- updated to latest stable release 15.2
- ContextMenu is bind to mute button, Escape is bind to exit button (idea taken from http://www.vuplus-community.net/)
- remote mount used hdd can be used as storage
- added Enigma2Player based on ExternalPlayer
* gathers subtitles links from addons and passes it to clients
- Enigma2Player is set as default player for every video/audio

Kodi E2 plugin(kodiext):
- subtitles support by subssupport plugin
- correctly handles xbmc urls with added http headers

Known Issues:

- audioengine in kodi is disabled since it doesn't work correctly(choppy sound), however it looks to be solvable since alsa is working on vuplus when tested with aplay
- internal video player is working but without sound as said above. It will have only limited use if sound is fixed, since only low quality video is fluent, because of software decoding.
- when kodi exits, it always crashes. I debug it with gdb and find out that problem lies in vu gles drivers:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.0x777b5238 in ?? ()   from /home/marko/Projects/Sdk/openpli-mipsel32-kodi-image/sysroots/mips32el-oe-linux/usr/lib/libGLESv2.so

....

How to build:

1. clone openpli-oe-core master-next branch

git clone https://github.com/OpenPLi/openpli-oe-core -b master-next 

2. enter to openpli-oe-core directory and setup your build environment

cd openpli-oe-core;make

3. enter meta-vuplus directory, add my remote fork of meta-vuplus layer, checkout kodi_15_2 branch

cd meta-vuplus;git remote add vukodi https://github.com/mx3L/meta-vuplus.git;git fetch vukodi;git checkout kodi_15_2 

4. enter meta-local directory, clone kodi recipes

cd ../meta-local/;git clone https://github.com/mx3L/recipes-kodi.git

5. enter build directory, set build environment variables, build kodi-image for your machine(vusolose,vusolo2,vuduo2), I set vusolose.

cd ../build/;source env.source;MACHINE=vusolose bitbake kodi-image

6. If everything goes as it should, your kodi image is in your build directory:

openpli-oe-core/build/tmp/deploy/images/$(MACHINE)/

Note:
If you already built master-next, you have to clean vuplus-dvb-modules from rootfs, otherwise there will be collision with vuplus-dvb-proxy.

MACHINE=yourmachine bitbake vuplus-dvb-modules -f -c clean

Testing images:

- these images are built on master-next branch of openpli-oe-core and are only ment for testing(no feeds available, you've to build them or include your packages in kodi-image.bb), only vusolose image is tested, since I don't have other receivers.
Please try vusolo2 and vuduo2 images and let me know if Kodi is working.

Thank you to @samsamsam, who send me his ffmpeg configure options

Are the files attached xbmc plugins or openpli + xbmc image ?

Thanks

Are the files attached xbmc plugins or openpli + xbmc image ?

Thanks

 

they are pli images with kodi 15.2

[vzoli1987]

whoops updating my soft, and crashed a box, reflashing works again, so didnt take updating or its not recommended this image?

[mx3L]

Images in initial post are experimental and are not ment for everyday use, since they don't contain feeds. So no updating should be possible unless you build your own feeds.

 

I guess I should try to send pull request to meta-vuplus so all vuplus users can try kodi from original openpli.

Probably setup a branch vu-kodi...

@littlesat

What do you mean?

[littlesat]

As far I understood you made this for Openpli and it needs to be specially build.... So I suggested to create a new branch (like next-master) on our github for this...

 

Or do I make a mistake now????

[dozab2000]

Many plugins have this problem. They all expect /mnt/hdd to be present. However if you format your usb device it will show up as /media/usb.
Thats why I always create a symlink.

Hello,

which folder do you symlink to which?

i've openblackhole on flash and this image in usb.In my main image hhd is mounted at /media/hdd and usb at /media/usb.

thanks.

Problem is that meta-vuplus submodule of openpli-oe-core has to be updated, since we need vuplus-platform, libgles and vuplus-dvb-proxy recipes in order to run kodi.

meta-vuplus is not managed by openpli but by vuplus. Of course we can use our own meta-vuplus and update it by ourselves when necessary, but I'm not sure if this is what you want.

good work on duo2, thank you...

 

what is ssh login pass ?

Edited by thawtes, 22 January 2016 - 02:58.

good work on duo2, thank you...

 

what is ssh login pass ?

There is no password set, first you have to connect with telnet and set new password with passwd command, then you can use ssh with new password
