[TESTING] Kodi 18 (Leia) builds for Raspberry Pi

Testing
507

I updated to Stretch and I am now on OSMC 17.8-139. So far everything worked smooth, no playback issues or any other problems. I was on test builds before and started the upgrade from 17.8-136.
My Kodi library is on MySQL and that’s the thing that’s not working anymore.
Kodi Log says: “MySQL library requested but MySQL support is not compiled in. Falling back to sqlite3.”
So I currently have no access to my library. SMB shares work fine.

Am i missing a package? Tried installing mysql-client but that doesn’t help.

here are the logs

508

Do you have a local copy of MySQL server running on the Pi?

509

@gmc - did you depend on libmysqldev-compat? This will fix linking issues with applications that expect old sonames and headers.

You should find these changes in my build scripts

510

Thanks. Just kicked off another build to fix this.

I updated to stretch and webstreams (youtube, etc.) work fine.
But pvr/tv doesn’t: I use a FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB‑C as source (local network streams) with iptv-simple. Before the update everything worked fine. With gmc-138 to 140 the streams won’t play. For 138 a few channels work, for others the stream won’t start (but kodi did not crash). For gmc-139 & 140 kodi crashes when starting such a stream.
I also tried to disable hardware acceleration for omxplayer / mmal, but without success…

Any ideas how to fix the system?

Can you show the output from

sudo cat /etc/passwd | grep apt

Also try:

sudo apt-get -f install

Not sure why it’s trying to remove rbp2-device-osmc
@sam_nazarko any ideas?

Could it be that I messed up the sources.list?

Yes, until final release you have to stay on stretch-devel

520

You need to reinstall if an upgrade on stretch-devel doesn’t solve things

Your system might be hosed

Sam

521

Thanks a lot guys. Added -devel back in, --fix-broken install, update and dist-upgrade and all is working perfectly.

At what point in time do I remove -devel? Now?

After updating, you may wish to edit /etc/apt/sources.list again. Change stretch-devel to stretch to revert back to OSMC’s stable update channel

522

As soon as the next month update with official Stretch release has been announced

523

Ok. Once more thanks for your help.

524

I have a problem with hvec video files. I have a few movies in x265 which work correctly in osmc whit kodi 17. In beta the video is played like a slow temp. In libreelec whit kodi 18 this video it plays correctly.
