Kodi is still only alpha and alpha 1 was released less than six months. The date really is a team Kodi decision anyway.

That being said I find Piers quite stable and it does what I need. The labels alpha and beta can be misleading.

I'm familiar with German TV. The problem might be the data during the switch to regional program. Post a log from that time...

This log (on Windows)

If netboot is working won't you have logs on your nfs drive to share even if ssh doesn't work?

I then hacked the package.mk file to point to file:///path/to/file for the files that I had manually downloaded, but the LE build system did not recognise the 'file:' protocol.

To enable file: protocol I had this help RE: Kodi Crashes after Next-PVR installation

Recently HiassofT added libx264 to the external ffmpeg I wonder if the same thing has to be done within Kodi or if that is even possible with DRM Prime

It's not transcoding though since the source is already h264 so I wonder if it something else. nosen if you enabled subtitles in the plugin does turning them off help?

Thanks I will poke around. I see there are enough variations, but my generated dts shows ddr4 so I will start there.

Cleaning up I found an old Vontar KK RK3566 box that I forgot about and searched and found a random-ish link that has a working Armbian 22.4 (but I didn't put it on the LAN) While it boots I see a firefly bootloader and it says station-m2 but the "official" m2 Armbian doesn't load

Is there anything in this Armbian that might help identify what is needed to boot or build this on LE? Here is dmesg

I actually submitted a PR for a addon which doesn't need a script using this syntax

python -m zipfile --extract source.zip directory

However I feel a utf-8 unzip would probably help others extracting downloads etc.

Unless I am missing something the busybox unzip does not support utf-8 filenames. Could it be updated or configured for utf-8 or would a replacement be available?

For a router PC with no reference to a GPU I'd wait for more information.

Doesn't this https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…/package.mk#L41 mean that the libx264 and libx265 are only enabled for x86_64?

I'd like to see it enabled for the RK35* and the RPi5 if possible. Here in North America OTA is largely mpeg2video and we can't play that back in NextPVR's browser. Even if it can't do 1x transcoding some users still transcode to h264 mp4 in parallel with the recordings.

That is what I tried

orange:~ # /storage/.kodi/addons/tools.ffmpeg-tools/bin/ffmpeg -hide_banner -decoders | grep 264
VFS..D h264                 H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10
V..... h264_v4l2m2m         V4L2 mem2mem H.264 decoder wrapper (codec h264)
orange:~ # /storage/.kodi/addons/tools.ffmpeg-tools/bin/ffmpeg -hide_banner -encoders | grep 264
V..... h264_v4l2m2m         V4L2 mem2mem H.264 encoder wrapper (codec h264)

Quote from chewitt

The ffmpegx add-on provides an ffmpeg binary wth h264 support (not sure about h265). Hardware encoding is still some way off as the kernel is still missing a defined uAPI for V4L2 encoding so there's a choreographed dance between kernel, specs, and userspace apps like gstreamer and ffmpeg to pull off.

Service.nextpvr installs ffmpeg-tools and I tried to find ffmpegx and couldn't. I installed TVH too but couldn't find it in .Kodi. How do I find it?

I did try to use -f v4l and thought it was my lack of understanding causing the missing ioctl messages.

I finally had some time to test the LE 13 nightly on one of my RK3588 device and I think it is a really good client now even playing more difficult streams than some other devices. Would it be possible to build ffmpeg with libx264 and libx2645 support or are they still too slow?

Quote from mglae

Having the choice of disabling ASPM or AER I would ever choose ASPM because this is more likely the cause of the error.

I updated to the latest Matt Devo firmware and it turns out I don't need either setting https://paste.libreelec.tv/master-antelope.log

I thought you recommend pci=noaer changed back to pcie_aspm=off

Here is the log with the blacklist removed and toggled wifi on to see it working https://paste.libreelec.tv/driven-polliwog.log

All is good.

Thanks for the info yes it is i915 https://paste.libreelec.tv/noble-bee.log

Here is the log with pci=noaer removed https://paste.libreelec.tv/topical-humpback.log and the error message every 5 seconds so yes I still use it. Is it "required" is hard to define.

Since alpha2 is close it is time for LE 13 anyway and I did the update to Asus CN60. After a successful migration PVR works for a/v without a hitch https://paste.libreelec.tv/eternal-teal.log so the GPU is supported on legacy but it looks like it is the i965 driver
