I think the "dvb-driver" platform is mutally exclusive with the "dvb-proxy" platform? Some models have "driver", and some have "proxy"?

I really don't have dvb background...what I can easily do is building kodi 18 (https://github.com/koenkooi/meta-kodi) for qemumips.

I asked Koen yesterday in #oe and he said .

 

Nov 20 12:38:50 <koen> ant_work: haven't tried it on mips, only aarch64 and x86_64

P.S. tried yesterday OpenSPA for curiosity: kodi 17.6 is ok on vuduo2 (but is stuck at 50hz ...)

[A.A.]

So I realize now building it that kodi 18 is using cmake... I have to fix it because with my dev setup I must refactor Khem's patches for  musl and battle with cmake for mips.

 

FWIW  meta-kodi layer pulls in more of them:

 

Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION           = "1.40.0"
BUILD_SYS            = "x86_64-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING      = "ubuntu-18.04"
TARGET_SYS           = "mips-oe-linux-musl"
MACHINE              = "qemumips"
DISTRO               = "nodistro"
DISTRO_VERSION       = "nodistro.0"
TUNE_FEATURES        = "o32 bigendian fpu-hard mips32r2"
TARGET_FPU           = ""
meta                 = "master:04469ab5b7f0446404b4cb55a15595678581ab26"
meta-oe              = "master:c26b10b155cf7873ffc8e966f95fd4abed8230c6"
meta-kodi            = "sumo:8192ab3d3ac74836f7ca2ba77170597b33a8ea83"
meta-multimedia      
meta-networking      
meta-python          = "master:c26b10b155cf7873ffc8e966f95fd4abed8230c6"
 

Note that you want to remove  meta-kodi/recipes-multimedia/vdpau/libvdpau_git.bb  because it is an older copy of the one in meta-oe and it still depends on dri2proto so pulling in meta-debian abandonware layer.

 

After much hassle I am now working on the configuration of the generic mips target.

This is just a build test for mips at the moment, qemumips.

Short update: kodi_18.bb from meta-kodi does build for mips/mipsel.

The layer will be updated in a few days, the fixes are in my fork atm.

 

Cheers

A.A.

 

P.S. please consider if you have in your layers patches interesting for the main recipe, thx

[A.A.]

Ok, the recipe for the latest kodi 18 "Leia" RC is updated.

Please send patches to the official meta-kodi layer.

 

Thanks

A.A.
