Many thanks for any help!

Is there a team or forum area that specializes in hardware acceleration (i.e. amcodec)?

I'm having issues with picture freezing during the last fews seconds of most/all all of my movies.

(Audio keeps playing fine under frozen picture).

If I turn off "Allow Hardware Acceleration - amcodec", the picture plays all the way through without freezing, but now has glitches throughout and a generally degraded image quality.

Debug log here: Kodi Log 4-13-18 (guest) - Pastebin.com

Any pointers much appreciated!

Kodi 17.6

LibreELEC 8.2.5

WeTek Hub (aarch64)

inputstream streams are SW decoded only due to DRM. Not everything is available in HD cause there is no hdcp support in Linux. 720p is max in Amlogic due to SW decode.

Got it. Thanks again.

Thanks RB for the advice (and of course the software)--I've got Leia19 installed and running, w/ widevine, Inputstream, NF & Amz.

A few issues so far (anyone here having better luck w/ these?):

-- Even though my WeTek Hub can play full size (un-transcoded) BRay rips without a hitch, NFlx chokes hard on 1080p streams (only 720p plays smoothly).

-- No matter my Inputstream settings, Amz streams are always 720x576, at just under 3Mbps. I'm also having sync issues here (audio leading vid).

-- While most of my VC-/TrueHD rips play just fine, there's a small batch of them that won't play at all (freeze on first frame). These particular files also wouldn't play under Android or WeOS, but worked great w/ LibreELEC official (8.1+).

As always, much obliged for any pointers!

Sorry to bother; if anyone has pointers on which binaries I need to replace & from where, it'd help me out a lot! Many thanks.

Currently running 8.2.1 official (aarch64) on my WeTek hub.

8.2.1 official (aarch64) on WeTek Hub.

Many thanks again.

I'm ready to take the plunge with this for my Hub, but I could use help figuring out which binaries to delete/reload after I make the switch? Any suggestions much appreciated!

Thanks GDPR-1! I'm on the WeTek Hub which I'm assuming is the same deal (aarch64).

I'll try adding widevine etc to one of your builds instead. You mentioned I should hold off on downloading leia8, so I figure I'll try the latest krypton build instead?

( chessplayer, when I follow the instructions you linked to for downloading wide vine, I get an "aarch64 not supported!" message. Really appreciate any pointers. Is there a way we can sidebar so we don't unduly disrupt this thread?)

chessplayer, are you using the "official" 8.1.1 beta currently, or a community build like Raybuntu's? Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up on that chewitt. Would it work if I started from "scratch" somehow with the preview build, rather than updating from what I've got? Could anyone advise on how best to do that?

Much obliged all!

Super grateful for any thoughts on how to get this latest preview (rb-leia8) running on my WeTek Hub.

Currently running 8.1.1, which I note has "aarch64" in the filename, whereas rb-leia8 is "arm" instead.

Apparently I'm unable to upgrade between the two. When I put the .tar in the updates folder and restart, I get a message that the .tar is incompatible with my "WeTek Hub aarch64" hardware.

Any help appreciated!
