Official LE13 Test Images for Amlogic (Kodi-22)

    Thanks for info. There is one more aspect to the story - all those older devices, used for Kodi, mean that no new stuff has been bought. Which means less polution, less carbon dioxide etc. etc. - it is simply greener. Hence, nice to have those old devices supported!

    Both the nightlies and chewitt's experimental builds are giving me issues with symbols for libwidevine. Not sure if something changed with libc, this had been working a month or so ago. If need be, I can find time to trace it down to a specific

    error <general>: AddOnLog: inputstream.adaptive: Initialize: Initialize: Failed to load library: /storage/.kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so: undefined symbol: __aarch64_ldadd4_acq_rel

    I ran this script, https://github.com/AsahiLinux/wid…devine_fixup.py which adds some stuff for those symbols, resulting in a working library again.

    A couple things to let people know:

    (1) To close out the widevine issue, it was related to changes in inputstream adaptive and is already resolved per

    Thread

    joyn / widevine does not work

    I installed joyn (ip tv provider) to watch some tv shows in german. Unfortunately, i get an error and the plugin aborts.

    In the logs i found this:

    (Code, 14 lines)



    Anyone an idea whats going on? Is it the wrong widevine that this plugin downloads? Unfortunately i have no netflix, otherwise i would install that addon and see what it downloads.

    (2) I notice, with the latest bump of Kodi in both the nightlies and chewitt's experimental builds, the GUI no longer renders on my Odroid C2. That is due to a bug in Kodi, looks like the following should correct that https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/25981 once it is merged.


    (3) Found a minor error being thrown related to the clock:

    Code
    error <general>: SETTINGS: execute # Command failed: /sbin/hwclock --systohc --utc 2>/dev/null

    The latest images in my testing share have some changes:

    • FFmpeg bump to v7.1 - In brief testing I didn't see changes (no regressions, no improvements) but none were expected.
    • Some patches from @sarbes that improve GUI performance - although we're firmly in the realm of marginal gains so don't expect performance changes to be overly noticeable.
    • Ethernet performance on WP2 appears to have doubled (33MB/s is now 76MB/s) - although I am not sure why, but I suspect recent kernel changes suggested-by kszaq are responsible. It's nice to see as it's always bugged me why the WP2 NIC ran at half the speed of the (also 1Gb/sec) NIC on a N2+ or RPi4/5 board. I've no idea if this impacts other boxes .. but maybe. EDIT: An N2+ board also shows improvement from 75-80MB/s to ~110MB/s so this appears to be a general improvement.

    Luni the subtitle issue is due to Kodi changes from @sarbes that impact Mali 400/450 GPUs. I've flagged the issues to him.
