LE13 Testing for RK3288, RK3328, RK3399, RK3566, RK3568, RK3576, RK3588

    On the Pine64 Rock64 (RK3328) the slide show does not work, but just displays a black screen. Not sure if that is a kodi issue or if it has something to do with libreelec.

    kodi.log contains an error as last entry:

    Code
    2025-12-07 20:44:21.115 T:1049     info <general>: Loading skin file: SlideShow.xml, load type: KEEP_IN_MEMORY 
2025-12-07 20:44:23.840 T:1073    error <general>: EXCEPTION: Kodi is not playing any file

    rdorsch slideshows are probably using shaders which might have a connection to e.g. the mesa version, but in general it sounds like something that needs to be investigated from the Kodi side; especially with Piers technically still in a pre-alpha state. It's worth seeing if the feature works on another distro or platform.

    Let me also add the debug log:

    Full log


    What might be also interesting to add: The preview for the images works well. Even it is used as background with overlays when navigating through the image works well.

    Probably a different issue:: during scanning of the images a popup window with a progress bar is shown. During the scan the entire screen is flickering from time to time. I could not identify a pattern though.

    I don't have easy access to another platform with Piers, but the slide show does not work at all, so it should be easy to check.
