[SOLVED]kodi-rpi 19.1-1 breaks hardware acceleration on RPi3

Postby neo1973 » Sun May 09, 2021 4:06 pm

I upgraded to kodi-rpi 19.1-1 and hardware acceleration of h264 stopped working on RPi 3.

kodi-rpi 19.0-10 log
kodi-rpi 19.1-1 log

The important difference seems to be this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'CDVDVideoCodecDRMPRIME::Open - using decoder V4L2 mem2mem H.264 decoder wrapper')
vs.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'CDVDVideoCodecDRMPRIME::Open - using decoder H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10')
I've also seen that linux-raspberrypi4 is now an optional dependency for HW accelerated decoding, does that mean HW accelerated decoding isn't supported on RPi 3 anymore?

No, HW accel should remain supported for all models (to the level the hardware supports). The optional dep was added to inform users of linux-aarch64 in that they will need linux-raspberrypi or linux-raspberrypi4 in order to have acceleration.

I will look into the lack of HW-accel playback. I do not believe any changes to the packaging would cause this/likely introduced upstream.

EDIT: I can also confirm breakage on RPi4.

Do you cross compile the packages on a more powerful machine? If so, might be feasible to git bisect to find what broke this

19.1-4 which is in queue to build should fix this. Thanks for reporting.

Thanks a lot, I can confirm it's working again!
