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

Testing

Yes, and I suggest with those generic question not to SPAM the TESTING thread.

798

Thatā€™s a letdown. Itā€™s working on LibreELEC.

799

Thatā€™s not possible.

Are you sure your LibreELEC device isnā€™t x64, i.e. a PC (which runs X11)?

To clarify: BD folder structure is supported; but BD-J isnā€™t.

LibreELEC running on Raspberry Pi 3

I donā€™t want CEC on my TV. It displays annoying OSD popups on every volume change, it tries to control every CEC device. The implementation is really buggy (Ā± 5 year old Samung TV).

I have further described the problem here: CEC volume control for AVR not working after upgrade to latest kodi version

803

@gmc Iā€™ve tried enabling cec on my tv, and everything starts working, but I get annoying messages on my tv when i change my volume (my avr also overlays a volume change). I really want cec on my tv disabled.

The log is showing good things:

Please check in more detail. From what I can see standard Blu-Ray menus work: but BD-J doesnā€™t. Thatā€™s the same on OSMC.

Iā€™ll check with LE guys. If JRE is all thatā€™s needed this should be fine; but I suspect that a windowing System such as X11 is needed.

@Acadia: I checked with the developer of the LE community build which added BD-J support. Apparently it does work; so we will look in to it. However, it may require distribution of Oracleā€™s JRE which would have licensing implications.

Iā€™ve asked for clarification if it still works with GLES platforms

807

@sam_nazarko Hi Sam. Yes, I did some more testing yesterday. I loaded CoreELEC on my old Vero 4k and BD-J menus are working fine after making the modifications described in the LE forum. It would be great if it could be made a possibility on OSMC even if the user is required to install Oracle JRE themselves. Would be happy to help with any testing if requiredā€¦

808

Somethings not right in this version mate, couldnā€™t play any live TV channelsā€¦I reverted back to 17.8-365 and its working perfectly.

Happy to supply any logs/info etc when the footballs finished.

Using TVHeadend and the hts client.

809

There is a new PR15020 which fixes issues with PR15010 from the previous version. Will add in fix for next nightly.

810

No worries, Iā€™ll hang fire till then.

Worth mentioning in here in case anyone else runs into the problem before the next nightly is available.

Yep exact same problem for me. Will test again after next nightly

812

I have the same issue with VNSI client, no more live TV on 366, but reverting works fine. Recordings play fine though.

813

There are a couple of problems here:

  • Java has licensing issues, and from what I can tell, the Oracle JRE needs to be used as does X11. OpenJRE doesnā€™t seem suitable.
  • Java is bigger than the OSMC image. Thatā€™s quite a large dependency. If libbluray and Kodi could dynamically load Java, then it could be an optional add-on.

For now, itā€™s not appropriate to include this in OSMC. But we can review this periodically.

Sam

This solves the problem with 17.8-366, where playback wouldnā€™t start.
Cheers.
