[TESTING] Kodi 18 (Leia) builds for Vero 2 & 4K

@gmc

A new issue iv noticed in last couple of builds is that the notification area (blue box top right) like when your scanning movies or something doesnt update.

You can trigger it to update by starting and stopping playing a film.

Might be some kind of UI invalidation issue?

Probably caused by addition of smartredraw.

We enabled smart redraw in the last build. Could be this.

Try stopping mediacenter, edit /usr/share/kodi/system/advancedsettings.xml
and change this value to false:
<smartredraw>true</smartredraw>

And restarting mediacenter

That seems to fix the problem.

I spotted the same and that fixes it for me too

Thanks for the confirmation.

hi All,

I installed the latest build (355) and as I saw netflix was not able to satisfy dependencies, i tried to install pycryptodomex. Tried to do it with the command pip install pycryptodomex, I also ensured i have all dependencies installed, but i still get the following error. I installed all python crypto, essential, etc. packages.

     #include <x86intrin.h>
                           ^
    compilation terminated.
    error: command 'arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc' failed with exit status 1

I managed to fix it by downloading 3.7.0 only and not the latest 3.7.1. In case if somebody else will run into the same issue.

This should get you fixed up:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zjoasan/netflix-install-script/master/netflix_prep_install.sh
chmod +x netflix_prep_install.sh
./netflix_prep_install.sh

Be aware that you might have issues with Netflix addon right now, login working, browsing working but when you start playing it just comes back to browsing. I got a solution but it takes some hacking to do.

I tried this, but this one didnā€™t work (the netflix prep script) as it pulled latest pycryptodomex (3.7.1) which seems to be broken and i manually installed 3.7.0.

Thanks for the update regarding pycryptodomex, will check it out.

no worries. If you have any solution for netflix, I would be happy to test it. I run into the exact same issue.

You can fix it by setting export CC=/usr/bin.

@joakim_s We should probably work on readying Netflix so additional work isnā€™t needed from a user perspective

if there is any workaround to fix Netflix please let me know, happy to help even if it includes dirty command line prompts :smiley:

thx!

Mobile right now will get back to you in a few hours

hi @sam_nazarko , just FYI it didnā€™t help. But iā€™m okay with 3.7.0 as well.

Also what i noticed is that the PVR playback is lagging and the ā€œmigration/1, migration/2, migration/0ā€ processes eating up 30-40-50% of the CPU. Not sure what that is, but it started to happen after i installed the Amazon VOD plugin.

hi @sam_nazarko,

Iā€™m experiencing some delayed sound and lagging video with a couple of files on this Kodi 18 beta (using the latest build, 356 - i just recently started to use the beta so not sure about prev. versions), here is the detailed log file, hope it helps solving the issue:
