Hi,
For all the those with an Orange Pi 5, I have posted a guide over on the Armbian forums to enable Kodi on Orange Pi 5 with GPU Hardware Acceleration and HDMI Audio.
[GUIDE] Kodi on Orange Pi 5 with GPU Hardware Acceleration and HDMI Audio
Hope this helps scratch that Kodi itch, until the superstars that maintain LibreELEC have a build available for the Orange Pi 5.

Awesome. The community development for this board in such a short space of time is amazing.
Are you having the same problems we are having in Android 12 when 4K resolution is being outputted and KODI tries to play back oddly-sized x265 content?
Please see this YouTube video here:
Thank you!
Hello,
Searched this thread and I did not find specific mention of whether or not this can be used on the Orange Pi 5b? If so, are the steps the exact same as in the original post ?

They would be the same except for the image that you start with, which in your case will be for the 5b model.
The original link will be unavailable but you could use one of the latest builds from https://github.com/armbian/os/releases
You will find that newer releases will be for kernels 5.1 6.1 and 6.8, so begin with the 5.1 and then perhaps see wat happens with the other 2.
Just note that not everything is working in Kodi yet, such as HDR and, if I remember correctly, some 10bit videos.
You may also be interesting in another fork that has been developed where there is great interest in Kodi and things are at a more advanced stage.
Sadly though, right now, because of the failures of both Rockchip and in this case, Orange Pi, all the necessary things to make Kodi fully functional on the RK3588 seem a fair way away and it, IMO, could be 3 years from release that things come together because of the great independent devs and communities.
