Maybe on Duo2 with VTI or BH?

[Rob van der Does]

And can hou run it on solo4k with openpli?

You know very well,  as the same answer has been given several times: 'No, because contrarary to most (all?) other images PLi doesn't use the Open-GL drivers that are required for the XMBC/KODI plugin".

[littlesat]

Sorry I really didn't know... Actually vu has to adapter the BSP later aan far I understand
And what about the solo4k?

How can i install kodi 15.2 in this image?

[Harley]

Will you be updating to Kodi 16.0 (Jarvis) now that it have been released?

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 but this version is outdated.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.

 

vusolose:

vusolo2:

https://dl.dropboxus...o2_kodi_usb.zip

 

vuduo2:

https://dl.dropboxus...o2_kodi_usb.zip

 

 

PS:

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

 

I tried to build for solo4k but i get this error.

 

~/openpli-oe-core/build $ cd ../build/;source env.source;MACHINE=vusolo4k bitbake kodi-image

what am I doing wrong?

Hi, 

 

You have the OpenSpa Image if you want for the solo4k with kodi 15.2

[nyakec]

Cody version of mx3l also not use internal player Cody. if you want to see internal player - turn any MP 3 file.

problem with audio. as I understand it is not enough relevant libs our architecture

Solo4k:

Currently I didn't do version for solo4k, so it's not possible build it for it with this tutorial.

 

Kodi16:

I will update it when I have time, but it looks like many of you were successful

 

Kodi player:

Currently we have to use Enigma2 player, since it provides HW decoding, you can run also Kodi player with SW decoding, which is slow for HD video.

You think will be SW decoding slow work on solo4k ?

He have pover cpu and alot memory .....

I think more importend from compile kodi  16 is fix problems with player and add good suport live tv.
