That Netflix workaround was removed in latest LE since it was unstable and caused crashes.
There is no way to play Netflix smoothly now, have to wait for a LE update.
Strange thing is with latest nightly LE, I can use other addons with the latest Widevine and they play fine except Netflix that says ' This content is not available for immediate playback'.
I checked your image, but found no linear audio output P1. Have you checked its operation on p1 ?
I built it with the new ES8388 kernel driver based on ES8328.
I don't know if another setting is missing or if you need to change sound output in LE.
Here is an image with fully working wifi and correct kernel drivers for line out audio.
The ROC-RK3399-PC LE image doesn't have wifi or working line out on the ROC-RK3399-PC-PLUS(Station P1)

If you find it useful please comment that hopefully LE team can add the wifi driver to LE in future.
Hello, I ran into a problem with running the system on rk3399-roc-pc. When using the official LE version to run on rk3399-roc-pc, there was a problem, but the unofficial LE version can run on rk3399-roc-pc. What is wrong with this? Where can I download the source code of the unofficial LE version?
Maybe this fixes it

You have to use the latest nightly image to test that will be released in a day.
You need Android 9/10 for working HDR playback and auto frame-rate support(which only a few RK3328 devices support)
Here is the vendor kernel HDMI Bitstream passthrough commit
Android 7(3.10 kernel), Android 9(4.4 kernel) & Android 10(4.19) kernel has fully working HBR Passthrough in Android Kodi 19.
But it would probably not help for mainline kernel.
Is there any documentation or kernel sources that would be useful to you to understand how Rockchip devices work?
There are some open-source devices like Rock64 & ROC-RK3328-PC with documentation and source-code available.
Maybe hh @ rock-chips.com can help?(RK audio engineer, not sure if he still works there)
It's already on 1.0.1 maybe that's the problem -> GitHub - CastagnaIT/repository.castagnait: CastagnaIT Kodi addons repository
Or just install 1.14.1 directly -> Releases · CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix · GitHub
Kodi 19, mainline LE have to use the v1.0.0 addon and the v1.0.1 addon is only for older Kodi 18 based images.
Android plays Netflix correctly so I don't know if it's perhaps a problem with software decoding on the mainline images or Netflix blocking LE user agent strings etc. I will try with some older Kodi 18 based LE images too and see if it works there.
Anyone can test the Netflix addon on these images?
repository.castagnait-1.0.0.zip
Use the arm 32-bit ones as Netflix/Widevine doesn't support 64-bit.
I just get a MySQL error.
I want to know if it's an issue on my side or a general issue for everyone.
On Android, the Netflix addon is working correctly.
Display MoreAre there some performance tweaks for mxq pro 4k (rk3228a ddr2, img from Alfawise A8).
i want to use netflix/hbo but full hd streams is not smooth.
/edit
Are there any video options in Kodi 18.9 to improve smoothness?
At the moment i change display to 720p
RK3328a is too slow to play Netflix even in HD.
Netflix DRM on Linux(LibreELEC) can only be software decoded with the CPU.
RK3399 with a big heatsink can support up to 1080p.
RK3328 can only support 720p and it has a much better CPU than RK3228a.
But what does it mean for future ?
1. no patch for LE is possible
2. it is a matter of patching "rk3399-rock-pi-4.dtb"
3. it is not hardware possible
Please comment - this functionality is really awaited for as it changes sound experience vastly nowadays.
It is hardware possible.
A LibreELEC developer just has to add a working patch for Rockchip devices, test it and build a new image.
Eg. for Allwinner devices these patches add audio passthrough - Allwinner: WIP audio passthrough · jernejsk/[email protected] · GitHub
So something similar with a few changes could work on Rockchip devices too.
But they first want to improve video playback I heard so audio passthough will likely take the back seat for another couple of months unless independent developers can do tests and create a patch.
LibreELEC doesn't support passthrough for Rockchip devices.
Hi, has anyone also problem with Direct Passthrough of DTS, DTS-HD and TrueHD on RockPi 4 ver A in Kodi ??
I get only loud white noise or something...the same I get on Android TV images. I was able to transmit DTS-HD on Odroid C2 but now looking for How to exclude that it's even possible to get DTS-HD working on RockPi ??
Has anyone experience DTS-HD playback issues ????
What might the limitations might be for DTS-HD to work in Rock Pi 4 while it works on AMLogics ????
LibreELEC with 4.19 kernel possible?
DTS-HD is working in my AndroidTV images for RockPi 4.
Try setting keep device alive to off and send low audio noise to off.
Can you tell WHY it does not bitstream ?? I am guessing are there hardware or license issues...
Because no patch for it was added yet.
You can use the same patch as for Allwinner but need to modify it a bit to be compatible with Rockchip devices, which I don't know how to do.
The LE developers first want to add 10-bit, H265, VP9 video playback support for mainline LE before working on audio.
Allwinner: WIP audio passthrough · jernejsk/[email protected] · GitHub
So it might still take a few months unless someone can adapt jernejsk's kernel patch for Rockchip devices themselves or do it another way.
Hi Joern-p
Rockchip posted a new 4.19 kernel here and new u-boot
GitHub - rockchip-linux/kernel at develop-4.19
Do you think it would be possible to build LibreELEC for RK3399 with this new kernel?
It would be interesting if it could work.
Rockchip released an updated 4.19 kernel here
GitHub - rockchip-linux/kernel at develop-4.19
Perhaps users still building LE with the 4.4 kernel can get it booting?
Because this kernel is also used for Android-Q things like HDR, 4K, 10-bit color, H265, VP9 might work out of the box just like in the 4.4 kernel.
There is also a commit for HDMI Bitstream audio, perhaps it can help to get HD audio passthrough working?
Another benefit of the 4.19 kernel is PS4 bluetooth controllers working now.
It might still take a long time until all features work in mainline so this might be a stopover for some developers and work better than the 4.4 kernel for now?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And for the mainline kernel, user jernejsk made a patch based on the Raspberry Pi 4 HBR audio passthrough to get it working on Allwinner devices.
Allwinner: WIP audio passthrough · jernejsk/[email protected] · GitHub
Because Rockchip and Allwinner devices use the same HDMI hardware, someone might get it working on Rockchip devices too or can work with him to test it on Rockchip devices?
Can anyone kindly tell me if the following things are working or not in the recent builds/images:
- x264 10bit
- X265 & 10bit
- Bluetooth, Ethernet & WiFi
- PWM Fan Controls with speed settings
- USB 2 & 3 Ports
- InputStream_Adaptive for YouTube
- Customs skins
Regards~
Don't think 10-bit H264 work but kwiboo did write patches already for it, might need to wait for the next Linux kernel for it to be merged.
X265 is not working
Bluetooth, ethernet, wifi - It depends on your hardware, but works for supported devices
PWN Fan - No fan settings, only some devices' fan work and it's automatic
USB Ports work depending on device
Youtube using VP9 codec won't work, only H264 codec will work.
Skins work.
Hi
Do you know how you could build LibreELEC but with a local package with changes that were zipped
instead of it downloading it from a remote site?
Eg. I want to quickly test with local changes I make to the Linux kernel without first making patches or downloading/reuploading the whole kernel to Github to test a small change.
Later when it has a desired effect, then I can make patches.
LibreELEC.tv/package.mk at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
Display MoreHi,
try to build your own with this patch:
This Patch is compatible with current dev-4.4 Rockchip Kernel.
p.s.
look for a suitable northbridge cooler, it is noiseless.
Hi
Do you know how to add the 'add 'uboot-set' in io-domain node' for Edge RK3399?
The same patch of nanopi added to rk3399-khadas-edge.dtsi doesn't seem to boot, only if I use an older u-boot.
Here are all the specific Edge Linux 4.4 kernel changes
Commits · khadas/linux · GitHub
I'll try to add and check what is different compared to your kernel to make the device more compatible.
RockPi 4 with a heatsink works great so far and stays cool.
Not sure why Khadas decided to use a noisy fan.
The fan is working with LibreELEC with mainline kernel.
I still couldn't get the fan working with the 4.4 kernel even with 8018716dd73adc85c8f5175290066bf6d5b4e70a commit, but maybe it's because I tested with an old u-boot or more kernel changes are missing, not sure.
Thanks
hi mo123,
i have now integrated the Rockchip change for the Rockpi4 device tree.
But do not know exactly whether the problem could be.
Here is the dtb file.
Thanks.
I also saw if I use an old u-boot package >5 months ago then LE also boots correctly again on every device.
You don't perhaps know how fans work on RK3399?
The Khadas Edge also has a fan like the nanopi4(rk3399-nanopi4-common.dtsi) but I can't seem to get it turning on automatically on LE with the 4.4 kernel. With mainline LE, the fan is working.
If I use the NanoPi4 dts file, the fan starts spinning on the Edge but obviously doesn't boot because it's the incorrect dts/dtb used.
Here is a kernel fan patch but I think it's for Android and not Linux(LE) - FAN: enable PWM FAN, add auto mode and factory test support · khadas/[email protected] · GitHub. The fan has 0 1 2 3 speeds, if it can automatically use speed 1, low speed, it would be great.
The device runs quite hot if software decoding 1080p so having the fan work would be helpful with the older 4.4 kernel.
