Really nice Rellla, this can help me

[tom81]

@tom81 - i found your kodi image on german cubietruck forum. It works great on my Cubietruck. But i can't get working my old Apple Remote with it. I get the signal with irw and ir-keytable -t ... But in Kodi nothing appears. Can you help me?

I write you here because I can't register to the german forum. I get no activation link and no answer from admin. So, i write you here. Are private messages disabled in this board? I cant write to Tom81 a private message.

That kodi image is based on the cedarv port from rellla and empat0 and uses the old, binary-only cedarv libs. Please don't use it - it is obsolete and broken in many ways and I do not work on it anymore.
For remotes you need to build a keymap for your remote, see http://kodi.wiki/view/LIRC for details.
I am currently uploading some code to https://github.com/tnmeyer?tab=repositories, but it's neither complete nor usable yet...

Hello guys,

at first, thanks to all your hard work and support, especially to you mosterta!

Currently, I'm trying to build some kind of htpc with my banana pi, using mosterta's sources and instructions from thread page 1.
Although I'm using Linux for some years and using embedded linux at work pretty often, I'm not really into this whole graphics stuff and don't have a clue how to solve my problem:
The compilation of kodi/xbmc with configuration like mentioned on p1 fails here with output

Code:

The whole configure and compile-output can be found here: without optimization .
Googling around some time lead me to this: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/1479 .
Trying to compile mosterta's kodi-branch without the --disable-optimizations flag leads to another compile error:

Config and build-output again uploaded to pastebin here: with optimization.

This errors sound for me like either a problem with my libraries /usr/include/GL/glext.h and /usr/include/GLES2/gl2.h or in the xbmc sources (my personal guess is the first idea).

What did I do exactly:
I checked-out the kernel-sources for banana pi and compiled the kernel after applying the two mentioned git-commits as patches and editing the .config successfully.
Following http://wiki.lemaker.org/BananaPro/Pi:Bui...nux-kernel , I've build a running linux system, using the rootfs-files from http://www.armhf.com/download/ for Ubuntu trusty.
I installed the binary driver (seemed to be needed for building some of the mentioned libs on thread page 1 following this guide: http://linux-sunxi.org/Mali_binary_driver .
I've also built and installed libump, ibvdpau and libvdpau-sunxi as described on p1.

So, could please anyone help me to successfully compile kodi from mosterta's git ?
If you need any more information, please let me know!

*edit* One thing I thought of right after posting this:
I checked where the libraries libraries /usr/include/GL/glext.h and /usr/include/GLES2/gl2.h came from.
I installed them using the sunxi-mali git:

Code:

markus@ubuntu-armhf:~/sunxi-mali/include$ sudo make install
mkdir -p //usr//include/EGL
install -m 644 EGL/egl.h EGL/eglext.h //usr//include/EGL
mkdir -p //usr//include/EGL
install -m 644 EGL/eglplatform.h //usr//include/EGL/eglplatform.h
mkdir -p //usr//include/GLES
install -m 644 GLES/gl.h GLES/glext.h GLES/glplatform.h //usr//include/GLES
mkdir -p //usr//include/GLES2
install -m 644 GLES2/gl2.h GLES2/gl2ext.h GLES2/gl2platform.h //usr//include/GLES2
mkdir -p //usr//include/KHR
install -m 644 KHR/khrplatform.h //usr//include/KHR

Are they the wrong headers? If they are, which ones are the right?

Best regards, and again, keep up the great work!

Markus

[tom81]

You probably checked out the wrong branch from github. The one you want is "helix_allwinner_gles_support", and not "master".

[BlackVodka]

You probably checked out the wrong branch from github. The one you want is "helix_allwinner_gles_support", and not "master".

Oh my god, such a stupid thing I could have noticed!
Thanks, currently trying to build with the helix_allwinner_gles_support - branch!

*Edit*
Okay, some progress I think, but still a way to go...
I tried to build Kodi now with the correct branch selected but at first it failed, searching for archive ffmpeg-2.4.6-Helix.tar.gz.
To solve this, I wget-ed http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-2.4.6.tar.gz to ./tools/depends/target/ffmpeg/ and renaming it (correct?).
During the configuration, the downloaded ffmpeg sources get extracted and patched successfully I think, but compiling (happens during configuration) fails:

Code:

In file included from libavcodec/vdpau_internal.h:55:0,
                 from libavcodec/h263dec.c:43:
libavcodec/vdpau.h:104:5: error: unknown type name 'VdpDecoderSetControlData'

make: *** [libavcodec/h263dec.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
ERROR: building ffmpeg failed

configure: error: "ffmpeg not found"

(pastebin) .

Does anyone know where's now the problem?
Thanks in advance!

[tom81]

Kodi needs a special ffmpeg version, it is this one https://github.com/xbmc/FFmpeg/archive/2...lix.tar.gz
Normally it should be downloaded automatically during build, I don't know why it fails for you.

Hm, I don't know why the automatic download failed yesterday (perhaps I was tired and made a mistake?), however, automatic download now seems to work.
Strange thing is, compiling ffmpeg still fails with already mentioned errors:

Code:

CC    libavcodec/h263dsp.o

                 from libavcodec/h263dec.c:43:

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
ERROR: building ffmpeg failed

(whole output on pastebin)

I searched for 'VdpDecoderSetControlData' in the sources...

Code:

tools/depends/target/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-2.4.6-Helix/libavcodec/vdpau.h
104:    VdpDecoderSetControlData *set_video_header;

tools/depends/target/ffmpeg/0001-MPEG4-vdpau-2.4.6-Helix.patch
556:+     VdpDecoderSetControlData *set_video_header;

xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDCodecs/Video/VDPAU.h
163:  VdpDecoderSetControlData *                    vdp_decoder_set_video_control_data;

...but wasn't able yet to find the definition for it.

Because of using the type VdpDecoderSetControlData also in xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDCodecs/Video/VDPAU.h, a file not being patched during configuring, I think of some missing headers in my system?
Could please anyone give me a hint why I can't compile ffmpeg?
Thanks in advance!

[tom81]

Have you installed libvdpau including its headers?

Do I understand the output correctly and don't get the headers installed along with the compiled lib files?
How do I install the header files for libvdpau? (installing libvdpau-dev from repositories is a bad idea due to the need for the modificated libvdpau files in mosterta's git, I think?)

*edit* arr, sorry, give me a moment, I think I got a wrong libvdpau here...

*edit 2* Yep, there was the cause for this problem, currently facing another

Okay, now you're having one of the issues I also had: there are files missing in the helix_allwinner_gles_support tree. I think I posted a patch earlier which fixed the build issues. Apply it to a clean source tree and try again. Maybe it works...

Edit: It's this one: http://pastebin.com/8xb52BgX

I want to use xbmc on orangepi pc, i try openelec, very good for xbmc but it cannot install other program.
I found your post and i think this can solve my problem. thanks your work.
I compiler xbmc from first post, on armbian 5.05 jessie desktop (build by myself from igor source) on orangepi pc.
I use:
apt-get build-dep xbmc
