[SOLVED] ODROID-C1: /dev/am* permissions issue

[Holzhaus]

Hi,

I just realized that Kodi is unable to play videos unless you do:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '$ sudo chmod 666 /dev/am*')

I guess this is because these files provide access to the hardware video decoding stuff, but are owned by root:root and have permissions 600.

Shoudn't they have 660 and video/audio as group?

Thanks in advance,
Jan

EDIT: This issue is solved. The Pull Request to tacke this issue has been merged in commit 627b135.

The hardware blob package for imx6 has udev rules to fix similar issues

Any chance to get this integrated into the respective package?

Should I open an issue on Github?

Test it.
Edit PKGBUILD and test that.
