kodi-[imx/rbp] upgrade to Isengard

[jurafxp]

Thx moonman, with this updated build, Kodi 15.1 is now working for me on Wandboard Quad (kernel 3.14.14).

Thanks moonam Your new build seems to work correctly on my Raspberry Pi2 - kernel 4.1.6-2

Hello

For me even your new Build doesn't work. I use the build from:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')k, these are compiled with GCC5.1 for sure:

Code: Select all
https://olegtown.pw/Public/ArchLinuxArm ... pkg.tar.xz
https://olegtown.pw/Public/ArchLinuxArm ... pkg.tar.xz

Halomadei, you likely have some other problem that is creating issues for you. First and obviously, double check to be sure you're installing the correct package out of the second set he uploaded. Next try moving your entire /var/lib/kodi/.kodi directory so you're starting on a completely clean slate. If that doesn't work, collect your logs and check with the folks at the Kodi forum.

Hello

I can confirm that the GCC5.1 builds resolve the problem for me as well (rpi2, local library).

I noticed however that for some files there is a problem playing the audio stream (mp3). Could this be related?
The files played without problems on kodi 14.x

cheers!

Am I installing these GCC5.1 build correctly by using the following command?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -U https://olegtown.pw/Public/ArchLinuxArm/kodi-15.1/kodi-imx-15.1-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz
')

[moonman]

should be right, except it might complain about signature of the package.
If it does, either change /etc/pacman.conf
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'RemoteFileSigLevel = Required --> RemoteFileSigLevel = Optional')
or wget the file first and then install it from the local storage with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -U /path/to/file.pkg.tar.xz')

@moonman, your local builds work perfect on rpb2, why are they not in the official repo? The ones that are in there only segfault?

[moonman]

Because everything in the repos comes out from the builder farm which has gcc5.2. Moving forward this problem will have to be addressed, but for now my local builds is going to be the workaround for those who need kodi with db. I've looked at gcc changes but could not find anything relevant, but i am no compiler expert.

[asbachb]

So is there any idea what causes the problem? In the kodi forum they mentioned the new ABI, but when I get it right was already introduced in 5.1 not in 5.2 which is only a bugfix release.

Perhaps the build's using the new ABI instead of the old one? I'm not very familiar with gcc at all. Is there any way to validate that?
