Thanks again for your continued help. I'll give GDPR-2 's build a try.

Would you by chance have any pointer on where I could read up if I want to understand the board's boot process?

Well, that does indeed work. Is "576cvbs" PAL progressive? Is there also an interlaced mode? I'm using this on an old CRT TV and at least on the Raspberry Pi I used before, interlaced produced a much better picture.

Are these modes/parameters documented anywhere? I searched for "setenv libretech" but couldn't find anything useful.

Is there also a Kodi 18 build available for this board? AFAIK the Amazon video plugins don't work in 17, right?

Thank you, I will try that and report back whether it works.

kszaq: Is it possible to use LePotato's composite out with your build? If not, are you (or anybody else) aware of a – preferably Linux-based – Kodi implementation that allows this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for the suggestion. I've now ordered a Libre Board, mainly out of curiosity. If I don't get Kodi working decently on that, I'll consider one of these adapters.

Hi,

I've already asked this on the Kodi forum but they recommended to ask here as well, so here goes:

I'm looking to set up Kodi on (something) connected to an old CRT TV, mainly to watch german DVB-T2 terrestrial TV. This probably means I need the (something) to have composite out and hardware support for H.265 decoding. I've tried a Raspberry Pi 3 but it struggled on the decoding part. I still plan to give the experimental Kodi 18 builds a try, maybe they'll do well enough, but I'm also looking for alternatives.

So, what would you recommend with the requested features and good Kodi support? I'd prefer Linux over Android as I'm much more at home there. TV backend will be on a separate machine so I don't need an tuner in the frontend. On the Kodi board, something based on the AMLogic S905/S905X/S912 was suggested. This led me to the Libre Board/Le Potato - how well is that supported? How well does the composite out work on that? Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help!
