Hello everyone I did some more tests now, and most things seem to work pretty good so far. There's one thing that makes watching movies with (not burned in) subtitles a bit a bad experience: Whenever a subtitle is shown, the Image of the video will turn Black and stay black, sound keeps playing normally. This seems to happen every time when a subtitle is shown, so you should be able to reproduce it easily. I found 2 workarounds, but both are not really nice: 1: After the subtitle disappeared, let the movie play for ~15s, then jump back 10s, that will make the image reappear (simple pause-play won't). However, when this is done too often, the stream hangs and the OPI needs a hard reboot (Kodi is no longer responsive), seems the system doesn't like that skipping much. 2: Disable subtitles completely. This is possible but obviously bad for scenes that require them (e.g. native language dialogs etc.). Did anyone experience this aswell, were you able to fix it?

@royk I can't find the '-DHAVE_DRM=ON \' in the file. See here: https://github.com/rockchip-linux/mpp/blob/develop/build/linux/aarch64/make-Makefiles.bash I added the lines below "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=./arm.linux.cross.cmake \" Now it looks like: # generate Makefile cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=./arm.linux.cross.cmake \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH='/usr' \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR:PATH='lib/aarch64-linux-gnu' \ -G "Unix Makefiles" \ ${MPP_TOP} Compile & install worked. I rebooted the machine, and now it seems to work! Kodi no longer crashes & when playing an x265-file the CPU usage is quite low, thanks! However, another (small) issue: When playing a video, it's always in front, when using the menu in kodi (Esc) it's behind the video, so not really usable, until the playback is stopped completly, see Image. Is there a fix for this? Otherwise it seems to work really well now (need more testing to confirm for sure) EDIT: Fixed, see answer from @royk, thanks!

@royk Thanks for your response. I tried again with the image you linked, but same issue. Here are two kodi crashlogs: 1:1_kodi_crashlog-20240103_191538.log (This is the first crash after adding the Movies) 2: 2_kodi_crashlog-20240103_191715.log This is on of the other crashes (the crash session / restart loop is infinite, so the logs all look more or less the same)

Hello, first, thanks for the detailed instructions! I followed the guide step by step: - Downloaded image from https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/archive/orangepi5/archive/Armbian_23.02.2_Orangepi5_jammy_legacy_5.10.110_xfce_desktop.img.xz So far so good, made all settings as described. However, after I add some Movies to the library, kodi keeps crashing and resetting the session (crashlog attachedkodi_crashlog-20240103_143357.log I've loaded 3 x265 (.mkv) files for testing purposes directly on the SD-Card) How can I fix that? I did not change the system in any other way so far, my goal is to get this problem solved first. My System: - OrangePI 5 16GB with 64GB MicroSD Card - Display / TV: Toshiba 40RV723 (1080p) If more information is required, let me know Thanks and regards
