@dengqz I using the patch in this tutorial and now Kodi fully working with 4k, h265.
You can try to build Kodi with the apply patch from the link bellow.

very good!can you please give more details?

very good!can you please give more details?

Yes, there is my steps:

1. Get the source code

• Make sure git is installed:
  sudo apt install git

• Change to your home directory:
  cd $HOME

• Clone Kodi's current master branch:
  git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc kodi

• Download patchs:

  • Goto home dir: cd $HOME
  • wget https://github.com/nyanmisaka/ffmpeg-rockchip/wiki/patches/kodi/0001-windowing-gbm-Dynamic-plane-selection.patch
  • wget https://github.com/nyanmisaka/ffmpeg-rockchip/wiki/patches/kodi/0002-VideoLayerBridgeDRMPRIME-Use-crop-fields-to-render-t.patch
  • Apply patchs
    • cd $HOME/kodi
    • git apply ~/0001-windowing-gbm-Dynamic-plane-selection.patch
    • git apply ~/0002-VideoLayerBridgeDRMPRIME-Use-crop-fields-to-render-t.patch

2. Get build dependencies manually

• sudo apt install ccache

3. Follow this link to config build and build https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/docs/README.Linux.md#4-build-kodi

• My build config build:
  • mkdir $HOME/kodi-build
  • cd $HOME/kodi-build
  • cmake ../kodi -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME="x11 wayland gbm" -DAPP_RENDER_SYSTEM=gles -B.
  • cmake --build . -- VERBOSE=1 -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
  • sudo usermod -a -G input,video yourusername
  • sudo make install

4. After that you need logout and login with Kodi session.

logout and login with Kodi-gbm ，In the player settings, I can see the hardware acceleration switch；
The previous video can be played but there is no sound； and after playing for a few seconds, there was no picture again；Black screen again；I'm not sure if the reason is due to not installing libtexturePacker dev

Video files are processed using the NFS protocol
I installed the system and executed Kodi compilation without doing any other operations；

Sorry I forgot add this command:

• sudo apt install libdisplay-info-dev

about sudo apt install libtexturePacker-dev this is my mistake :D, we no need to install it. It will build when we call build Kodi source.

Glad to hear that. I don't have Xbox 360 controller. So I cannot test this case. Maybe you need add user to group like add mouse and keyboard (I guess)

[Bluesmanuk]

It's great that there seems to be a mostly working Kodi.

I was wondering whether anybody has built a package that could be posted to make for an easy installation.

I am not very familiar with publishing private packages on Ubuntu, and it is possible that Ubuntu rockchip will release new packages in future updates @Joshua-Riek @nguyenhunga5

[Joshua-Riek]

Packaging is a little complex and I have the above patches already in the included Kodi version, so i have no idea why there is an issue in the first place. But building Kodi from GitHub sources is not the same as building Kodi as a package for Ubuntu. I simply don't have the time right now to debug Kodi or explain the Ubuntu packaging process, but I will eventually update the package.

[kkein]

@Joshua-Riek Compile kodi like this way in 2404 LTS v2.1.0, kodi works just NOT as good as the default MPV tool of v2.1.0 release. For example : 8K HDR 240 FPS Dolby vision - Special OLED demo , MPV plays OK with low cpu ; but kodi has voice but no video.

Would you please check the diff with Kodi and MPV? Thanks a lot for your so good ubuntu-rockchip release!

[kkein]

Just as a work around, this way works for me.
Use mpv as external players for kodi: https://kodi.wiki/view/External_players

Steps:

1. Create config file: vi ~/.kodi/userdata/playercorefactory.xml
   ----------------------------------------------------------------2

<playercorefactory>
  <players>
    <player name="MPV" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="true">
      <filename>/usr/bin/mpv</filename>
      <args>--fs=yes "{1}"</args>
      <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
    </player>
  </players>
  <rules action="prepend">
    <rule video="true" player="MPV"/>
    <rule audio="true" player="MPV"/>
  </rules>
</playercorefactory>

---

2 、run kodi with full-screen : kodi -fs
3、 select your movies , it will played by mpv default. ( full screen , ESC to quit )

[Bluesmanuk]

Thanks for the replies and I happily accept that packaging is likely quite complex and will take time.

So I followed the instructions to install manually, which seemed to go well apart from the very last part.

After logging off and back on, when I enter my password I am informed that my username is not listed and will not go any further.

[Uglymotha]

Hi,

Great stuff can you add: libcdio++-dev libiso9660++-dev to de dependencies, otherwise you may have some issues playing old fashioned cd's.

Also, while kodi is displaying HDR content fine it does not seem to detect HDR capable displays correctly. In system info -> video, Display Supported HDR Types is always none and the option to toggle HDR is not present in Player settings. I have tested with two HDR capable displays.
