Hi,
From the recent update of Kodi to version 17.x I can no longer play video using dvdplayer with mmal.
Downgrading to Kodi 16 solves the issue.
With Kodi 17, after I launching it in a terminal, then trying to watch any video, the board starts loading a lot (more than 30) and I can read the following message in the terminal:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'usrvcsm: [vcsm_malloc_cache]: [1066] [mmal_vc_port buffer]: NULL size or invalid device!
usrvcsm: [vcsm_vc_hdl_from_hdl]: [1066]: invalid device or handle!
usrvcsm: [vcsm_lock]: [1066]: invalid device or invalid handle!

')
As it works with Kodi 16, I don't think it is related to the system configuration (or is it?). Could it be in the building process of the package (kodi-rbp and kodi-rbp-git do not work)? or is it Kodi related?
Cheers
