Videos not playing anymore with Kodi with latest updates

Postby dpirate » Sat Sep 16, 2017 7:22 pm

This is on a Raspberry Pi Model B+. Videos used to play fine with Kodi until I did a 'pacman -Syu' this morning which updated to a newer kernel and bootloader. /dev/vcsm seems to be missing. Any idea on how to fix this?

Can confirm the issue, Kodi is broken on here too. Looking for a solution.

Thanks for the link. I wanted to revert but couldn't find where I could download the previous kernels. Do I need to also rollback bootloader stuff?

Thanks for finding this change, I had the exact same issue.

@dpirate you probably still have the previous kernel in your pacman cache.

I just did this:
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-raspberrypi-4.9.43-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz

and rebooted, now we are back in business!

@gnumdk do you know of other places this is being discussed / tracked, seems like it will be a big pain point for kodi rbp users.

Whenever this gets merged it'll be fixed: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/pull/1516

I already fixed it in the pi kernel.

EDIT: turns out the issue kmihelich referred to is different than what I had fixed. I have another patch in the works, can follow here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2173

For now you can just disable MMAL acceleration in the player settings.
It's not optimal but at least you can watch videos this way until the kernel issue is solved.

Does the patch you submitted a few days ago work for you building 4.9.51?

Yes, it applies clean on top of 4.9.51 and should work fine.

EDIT: but you should actually follow here I suppose, since it'll be the most up-to-date version of the patch: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/2206
