Hi,

I do not konow, it this is the right place to raise this ticket. But in stable releases of Armbian it works fine, but there is no video acceleration.

 

I have tried Kodi on Armbian Noble Gnome + trunk MESA/VPU:

Armbian_24.8.0-trunk.85_Rock-5b_noble_vendor_6.1.43_gnome-oibaf_desktop.img

 

Kodi falling when I'm trying to install some of extensions. For example https://repo.sc2.zone/

 

Crash log in the attachment.

 

System log:

This is a known issue - https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/24069

 

not really related to Armbian per-se, but a matter of the versions being used. I used a flatpak version of kodi instead to resolve this issue, which also supports hardware acceleration. See https://flathub.org/apps/tv.kodi.Kodi
