Sorry to ask something again

While mission "master+4.4.7" was a total success, i tried to go a step further and used latest KODI git master for my LE build (as is did before when compiling OE many weeks ago)

I can use latest KODI git master and compile without errors, but only when i remove:

- kodi-100.10-handle-SIGTERM.patch
- kodi-999.10-aarch64-support.patch

Since i'm interested in learning further basics - is there anything i can do to myself fix those two patches so they can be compiled successfully with KODI git master?

EDIT:
First clue:
- Removal of "kodi-999.10-aarch64-support.patch" shouldn't matter for my temporary build, since it's ARM-stuff and i use x86? Is that correct?
- But what about " kodi-100.10-handle-SIGTERM.patch"?

Great - thanks for the confirmation.

I now removed the two 4.6-added RTL-driver-patches, reverted the nvidia and nvidia-legacy 4.6-changes and generic linux config file. The 4.6 connman patch already has been removed in the meantime. (afaics)

Looks like that's it for my generic x86 build. No errors. LE master with 4.4.7 - repeats working again!

Thanks. I did update the KODI version myself in the past while compiling OE. Will try that if i feel the need to

At this moment the kernel-caused broken button repeat is the only thing i'm really missing.

What about kernel 4.7 RC2? Are you aware if things got fixed there? I'd be happy to try if i had a working build with 4.7.

Thanks again!

Edit:

Alternative: Is there an (relatively) easy way to find out how i revert LE git master to 4.4.7 myself. As said, i did revert linux package.mk and restored the 4.4.7 patches folder - but it failed at another point as mentioned above.

make clean has been done before compiling, of course.

Tried to compile with 4.4.7 (reverted packages/linux/package.mk to 4.4.7 and restored the 4.4.7 patches-folder)

Linux itselfs compiles fine, but because of other changes the build seems to fail at "build.LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0-devel/xf86-video-nvidia-361.42/kernel"

Well... i'll wait then and just hope the 4.6 kernel will be fixed sometime

Thanks for the info!

Reverting back so 4.4.7 seems to help according to you builds-thread? If so, i will just try to compile libreELEC git master and only revert the kernel to 4.4.7. Any objections?

Side question: Is there an intentional reason why KODi itself did not get a update in libreELEC master since ~1 month? (Just curious)

Hey,

Hardware:
- Intel NUC D54250WYK (Haswell i5)
- libreELEC 7.90.001 ALPHA (aka LE8 Alpha) (tested both clean setup and restored setup)

- Infrared receiver (both integrated one and Microsoft external USB as alternative)
- tested both Standard Philips MCE + Xbox One Media Remote

While the complete setup works great with 7.90.001 ALPHA (including TVH Live-TV!), one things appears to be broken compared to LE7:

While holding down a remote control button (UP or DOWN for example), the the keypress gets not repeated, so you have to do scrolling (for example) row by row, one button press at a time.

Remote Control Key repeating worked fine in LE7 (stable + git) and also does on Standalone KODI 17 Nightly (f9d5614) on Windows (which i tested to gather more info).

Thanks!
Great work - just switched from OE and really like how the new "project direction" feels...
