If you run upgrades via the command line, then you need to upgrade twice. For users that update via My OSMC, the migration between repository version and the additional upgrade then needed will be handled automatically.
This kernel is specific to your device (Raspberry Pi). We do not track the upstream Debian kernel for reasons outlined above. There are many downstream patches to enable hardware acceleration and other features on your Raspberry Pi device.
Donât you rebase patches (like for hardware acceleration) to newer releases?
Kernel.org lists 2 stable and 6 longterm releases, 4.9.328 being the oldest available.
Do you have a roadmap to use a more recent Kernel tree?
Thanks for your work!
Wireguard support is already present in our 4.9 kernel for some time.
You ported Wireguard to 4.9? And thatâs easier than porting hardware acceleration to a modern longterm release?
Is the source for your Kernel somewhere public? Iâd love to have a look at it. Thanks.
Took the opportunity to do a complete wipe and clean install on my Vero 4K+. Everything working lovely. Very well done and huge thanks to everyone involved.
Kernel sources are available at: GitHub - osmc/vero3-linux.
They are also available via APT, if for example, you want the sources exactly for the kernel you are running.
It would be a huge undertaking. There are already efforts to upstream and mainline support for AMLogic SoCs, but this doesnât offer feature parity and there are a number of limitations. If any SoC manufacturer relied on a completely upstream kernel, their product would be obsolete by the time it hit the market.
The Raspberry Pi is the same â while they work hard to upstream their support (which also does them a favour as there is less to maintain downstream); they still use a downstream kernel and without this downstream kernel we would have similar video playback limitations.
Our next target will likely be based on Linux 5.4 or later.
With that said, I can see that AMLogic are still maintaining their 4.9 kernel, with commits as recent as the start of this month. They also backport critical security fixes where necessary, and we can do the same.
Thanks for the link. But where do you see Wireguard in your kernel?
A search shows nothing: Search ¡ wireguard ¡ GitHub
Compare to Linus version: Search ¡ wireguard ¡ GitHub
There should at last be linux/drivers/net/wireguard at master ¡ torvalds/linux ¡ GitHub, no?
Yesterday night i have tryed to OPEN a Twitch Livestream:
I open that livestream from my Android Tablet and after that by YATSE i have shared this content to my Pi2 (you know itâs possible by installing yatse addon).
After about 30 seconds i see the livestream itâs correctly played on my TV but the audio itâs out of sync⌠itâs passed about 2 minutes and BAANG⌠Kodi goes in crash whit SAD Face.
I wait in front of my TV Kodi has restart⌠i have tryed again to re-share this livestream from tablet and audio itâs ever on out-of-sync but kodi never crash again. I can see this livestream for about one hours whitout any issue.
This same KODI CRASH whit SAD Face sometimes append also to me in the pass when i try to open a Youtube livestream⌠problably thereâs some misconfiguration on my Pi2 OSMC Setup on DASH files or somethigs similar.
After this crash usually i try to look on previous kodi.log (kodi.old.log) and apparently thereâs no info about this crash.
Problably if i can reproduce that whit the debug log enabled itâs better but how i descripted sometimes goes in crash other times no⌠lol.
If i see this issue happend whit more frequency i try to look deep inside

My only complaint is I can no longer browse to my Synology NAS for backups. Itâs not a big deal but somewhat annoying and I donât want to reenable SMB1.
You can âadd network locationâ in Kodi instead of going to âwindows network (SMB)â and once you add your NAS (ie the machine, not an individual share) you can then browse that network location the same as you could before.
Hi -
did an update from KODI menu of OSMC and it broke when it rebooted I think complaining about arm64 on my Rasberry Pi 4. âhttp:\mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian bullseye InReleaseâ doesnât support architecture âarm64â
I could not start kodi. Is my /etc/apt/sources.list correct?

This is not correct and you have both Buster and Bullseye repositories enabled which will cause problems.
Where is it coming from??? - I have checked my sources.listâŚ!

You may have additional sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Yes - these I will rename them and try again
osmc@osmc:/$ ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ bullseye main
osmc@osmc:/$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list
deb http://apt.osmc.tv buster-devel main
This will cause problems with your system. You should reinstall OSMC if you have already attempted an upgrade.
Oh dear!.. what I was trying to avoid⌠So many things setup its going to be time consuming⌠OK - thanks very much for your help btw. I thought just get the sources.list right and try againâŚ
