Hi,

 if we use alien5 libs we may need to use this patch also: https://github.com/o...46cf1cf40ed3c76

best regards, gcsuri

Hi, I looked into the 4.9 code... So it's mainly for the latest amlogic cpus so it dropped support for gxb line. Media drivers nearly the same as 3.14 kernel but restructured.

Something wrong with the dvb drivers or not compatible with dvbmediasink at mecool line. This is why there is no pictures and gst-launch can't play video files...

vsftpd has a bug: /etc/vsftpd.conf is not owned by root so config file not read on startup.

best regards, gcsuri

as for the media_modules repo your linked did you try it ? the code is oriented for the 4.9 mainline kernel if I understand, but the mainline kernel still lacks alot of things.

 

Maxime Jourdan is doing some great work in the media part of the mainline kernel but his patches haven't made their way to the stable tree yet, so we need to wait I guess.

 

 

 

I haven't tried but I would like to do. I'm not a kernel developer so if the code needs heavy changes to compile I may can't do it. 

The linked code can hw decode all formats via dvb layer. It's not for the mainline kernel, it's for amlogic special kernel (4.9) and it may compatible with 3.14. If it works we don't need the userspace stuff.

For the first look it can easily put the drivers/amlogic dir and I think I need to remove existing dvb codes, then I could compile it without the avl frontend driver. Then I could test it with the gstreamer dvbsink plugin.

anyway, I don't understand why we need the libamcodec and gst-aml userspace stuff. Amlogic has released the streaming library in the dvb layer. see https://github.com/v...dia_modules_4.9

It can demux and decode every format by the hardware. Enigma's gst layer would send the proper streams to the dvb layer and media modules would do everything else as the other boxes do.
