Kodi for Odroid

Postby mikesanders » Tue Jan 29, 2019 11:24 am

Hi,

first: I'm completely new to ArchLinux so please tell me if I overlooked anything that I am supposed to know or if this is the wrong subforum for this kind of question...

Recently I was looking into opportunities for continued usage of my Odroid U2. I discovered https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv ... /odroid-u2 and got it installed just fine.

I was even more delighted when I saw https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/armv7h/kodi-odroid as I wanted to give Kodi a try for a while now.
Unfortunately I was unable to get Kodi running: The kodi binary is linked to some libraries or - more precisely - specific library versions which are not available any more (e.g. libcdio 1.6, mysqlclient 18). The kodi-odroid package has version 17.3 with build date 2017-07-09 which is also puzzling since the changelog https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/armv7 ... odroid/log mentions a update to 17.6 dating from 2018-01?!

(How) Am I supposed to report this to the package maintainers?
Given that Kodi 18 was released yesterday I'd of course be happy if in the course of fixing the build the package could also be updated to v18 :)

For what concerns kodi 18, considering what was said in this thread, I think we have to wait for https://github.com/Owersun/xbmc/ to be updated.

However, +1 for kodi 18 for odroid c1, I am available to test custom builds eventually.

There is a Leia branch now (https://github.com/Owersun/xbmc/tree/Leia), any possibility to update for Odroid?

As of https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/pull/1665 Kodi 17.6-2 is available and linked to the right libraries.

I am currently working on Kodi 18.1 release: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/pull/1673

Please, give them a try and respond on GitHub.

Hi there, i'm trying to install kodi on my odroid xu4, kodi version 17.6 (from the repo) just show a blank screen (after i manually downgrade libcdio) i tried bulding kodi-18 from prev comments but is really slow, wondering if i'm missing the mali driver somehow? is there a package that i need to install ? i already tried xf86-video-fbturbo odroid-xu3-libgl-x11 odroid-libgl with no changes, help ?
