Kodi with RDP/Wayland on Ubuntu 21.04 or 21.10 - Boilerplate4U - 2021-10-29

Anyone who tested Kodi with the built in RDP on Ubuntu 21.04 or 21.10? I'm thinking of compiling a Wayland version of Kodi but I had some problem in the past with xrdp so I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

I'd like to have a look at how the Ubuntu PPA is built. Are these the current build scripts used by jenkins nightly builds of master https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/tree/master/tools/buildsteps ? Q2: Is there an easy way to see if nightly builds is based on X11 or Wayland?

See https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/tools/Linux/packaging/package-kodi-launchpad.sh

Kodi can be built with support for X11, Wayland and GBM all into a single binary since v19, which is what the PPA does

Please don't tell you that's the way you want to watch videos...

Excellent, thanks for the pointer! I wasn't aware that the display protocols were merged in v19, thanks!

But of course! ;-) Joking apart, it's an easy way to enable debugging when running the development environment in a virtual machine.

Just for future references. Despite what ppl are guessing in the forums, Wayland/RDP is a no go. X11/RDP (xrdp) or NX (NoMachine) does the job.
