My main machine runs Archlinux which has alot of problems building PLi since it always has the latest packages.

Don't bother fixing build issues, just use the recommended disto(ubuntu 18.04 in this case).

If your main machine runs linux that is not compatible then you shouldn't use virtualization, instead use something like chroot/debootstrap or lxc/lxd(linux container) to have the full machine power available to bitbake, that's what I do anyway.

For linux 4.9 add dvb
Modify file “Makefile” in folder “hardware\aml-4.9\amlogic\media_modules\drivers\stream_input”, and add the path
of demodulation driver. the demodulation driver is porting by yourself.

Sadly, I don't have an S905D box to work on, my box is S905 and that buildroot is intended for S905D

I think the best course of action right now is to wait for mainline Linux support, once Maxime finishes his work on the video decoder, the next thing is probably DVB, this will allow us to use the default demuxer device driver with meson platform code, so we will have no issues hopefully.

unfortunately, the merge window for Linux 4.19 closed without merging the video decoder patches and the subsystem guys don't seem to be very enthusiastic about the patches either so this might take longer than expected.

Hi,

 

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

AFAIK servicemp3 is only used for playing media files and not dvb stream, already have bunch of alien5 dvb patches :

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

Yes, I noticed the dropped support as well.

the dvb drivers right now has an issue where the demuxer is stuck and doesn't reset after tuning, I'm not sure about this but I think tvheadend uses a differ approach, instead of routing the ts to the demuxer it uses libffmpeg to decode the streams and since ffmpeg is already tested by amlogic it works without a problem.
