kodi-[imx/rbp] upgrade to Isengard

[Beam]

I made pull requests with upgrade Kodi package 14.2 to 15.0.
There is a patch reverting support libcec 3.0 requirement in Kodi.

https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/pull/1219
https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/pull/1220

Kodi package can be builded without libcec patch but without CEC support.

Made an issue regarding this on libcec github. It won't comile currently (at least not for RPI, haven't tried IMX yet): https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/issues/117

So, accept PR for now? kodi-rpb package in repo si without CEC now.

libcec 3.0.1 compiles and builds just fine (on rpb) if you omit the following from cmake arguments:

-DRPI_BCM_HOST=0 \
-DRPI_VCHIQ_ARM=1 \
-DRPI_VCOS=1 \

whether or not it works is another question.

[moonman]

Thanks, it is already in repos. All is good

GH repo with package kodi-imx has been updated 2 days ago, but package in alarm is still 14.2-4.
How long does it take to rebuild?

[moonman]

It failed to build. I haven't had time to see what's up yet http://archlinuxarm.org:81/builder/in-l ... og.html.gz

Wish I read this before...
Updated kodi-imx to current 15.0-4, coredump is hitting 100% with kodi dumps every 30sec or so
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@AtomAntBox /]# coredumpctl gdb $kodipid
Core was generated by `/usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin --standalone -l /run/lirc/lircd'.

Stopped kodi until I can revert, anyone have the 14.2 kodi package in their backup?

[Orbi]

I had to roll back Kodi to version 14.2 as well, version 15.0-4 seems to be stuck in an endless reboot sequence.

If you haven't cleared your package cache, the 14.2 package should still be on your disk.

[slycat]

Cache has been cleared since the last time I upd kodi
Going to m̶o̶d̶i̶f̶y̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶k̶g̶b̶u̶i̶l̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶1̶4̶.̶2̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶r̶e̶b̶u̶i̶l̶d̶ wait for a working kodi as it takes too much work to rebuild 14.2 (damned makepkg --asroot removal)

EDIT: another user suggested to downgrade the current libcec
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -U http://jercubox.duckdns.org/libcec-imx6-13.20140928-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz')
Now 15.0-4 appears to run fine, or at least no core dumping
But now is boot-looping at the home screen...
