Hi is HDR working for gemini lake in your generics builds?

the build from smp is the only build so far with working HDR on gemini lake and I doubt that this workaround will ever be used in an official LE build, because there is no Interlace working for PVR and other video sources.

the only possible way is to add the changes that has smp used in the HDR build.

I already tried it, but I wasnt even able to compile the LE-RR sucessfully because there were changes made to the code that are not in the github repo.

LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-10.0-RR-20210418-a1398f2.img, before libreelec is starting:
depmod: ERROR: fstatat(6, nvidia.ko): No such file or directory

and starting the libreelec configuration tool is not possible, but I havnt found an error message in the logs. maybe I have to enable debug logs first. Initial configuration was possible though.

edit: okay I think its related to the embuary skin. everything is working without problems. but as soon as embuary is installed and kodi restarts, the libreelec configuration addon is not working anymore. But this must be related to this build, because the l10 without mods is working here.

I have a look if we can do it somehow to add it to the repository. Chrome just works with drm and stuff. At chromium you have to install it at your own that is likely not doable for 99% of the users. We can't host the file either so I have to script around the problem But should be doable till LE10.

I did only minimal changes to your script, its the same procedure as the chrome before, downloading deb and extract data. I just changed curl to wget.

browser.chromium/bin at main · blitterz/browser.chromium · GitHub

everything is exactly the same, like same parameters and stuff like this, just with full vaapi.

@mglea that did it. It was just deactivated. only left to do is changing the icon of the chromium fork.

thank you so much for your help! glad I can go back to libreelec again. I had this similar setup with kodi and geforce now app running on a w10 before, but kodi on windows is a huge mess, for example when you come back from energy saving mode the window freezes and things like that. It never has been so good like it is on libreelec now.

Geforce Now is playable on the TV with that package! I wonder how I can bring kodi to recognize this package in the frontend, because I have to execute ./chrome-start from the console?!

Solved "/usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found" by using chromium-browser_88.0.4324.11-0ubuntu1~ppa1~18.04.1_amd64.deb instead of the 20.10 Version!

Github has been updated.

Okay I got it working (with vaapi!) (but only once) by just changing the URL in the chrome-downloader script. By once, I mean it started once, then I started to modify the script files and now I get:

./chromium-browser: /usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by ./chromium-browser)

./chromium-browser: /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.30' not found (required by ./chromium-browser)

I have to trace this down a little bit, why it started once but not again, on the same machine.

This is the browser.chromium folder now: GitHub - blitterz/browser.chromium: Chromium Browser for Libreelec

Unfortunately I have uploaded the Zip before the Code, not sure how to delete it now

We are not going the self compiled browser version at LE anymore because it was a nightmare because it frequently broke with no easy fixes.

yep, google devs really did a great job with this chrome binary. I'm using it this since it first got released and never had any trouble with it. its magic.

a pitty they do not even plan to add vaapi to it.

https://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/2.15.05/ seems to be down and theres is only

nasm-2.14.02.tar.xz

nasm-2.14.tar.xz

in the mirror repo

I just wanted to play cyberpunk 2077 via geforce now on libreelec chrome, now I'm recompiling libreelec

Oh okay, you dropped support of chromium with the VAAPI patch.

Okay answered myself - lack of vaapi support int chrome

Hi,

I wondered why there is still an difference playing videos on libreelec chrome vs playing videos windows chrome. So I started to trace it down a little bit and the main difference I've found is this:

libreelec:

Video Acceleration Information

windows:

Video Acceleration Information

Decode h264 baseline 64x64 to 4096x4096 pixels

Decode h264 main 64x64 to 4096x4096 pixels

Decode h264 high 64x64 to 4096x4096 pixels

Decode vp9 profile0 64x64 to 8192x8192 pixels

Decode vp9 profile2 64x64 to 8192x8192 pixels

Encode h264 baseline 0x0 to 1920x1088 pixels, and/or 30.000 fps

Encode h264 main 0x0 to 1920x1088 pixels, and/or 30.000 fps

Encode h264 high 0x0 to 1920x1088 pixels, and/or 30.000 fps

Its completely empty for libreelec, do you know why? Is it related to the Intel Driver?

Both are machines are NUCs, 1x NUC7CJYH2 (windows) 1x NUC5PPYH (libreelec)

Attached are the full log files.

escalade Could you please reenable the script that restarts kodi, as soon as it hangs? Kodi hangs a lot in your distro.

Thanks that kodi is still included in your distro while it seems your focus moves to something else.
