I haven't tried this with any other Debian version, I have built a server image of Armbian based on Debian 12 Bookworm through the build tool and transcoding works fine for me now. I have also only tried Nyanmisakas Docker image of Jellyfin through the Docker Compose feature in Open Media Vault. I just followed the instructions here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/10748 When you download the Libmali Valhall drivers, make sure you get version v1.9-1-2d267b0 from November 14 since the later versions don't work with kernel 6.1. Install it with Apt so you get all dependencies. And after everything is installed you need to open the Jellyfin dashboard, under Playback you will see Hardware Acceleration. Pick "Rockchip MPP (RKMPP) and check all the codecs (I have only tried HEVC and H264 so far so I don't know if all of them works).

That did it, @royk. Now I can boot from NVME. Thank you!

I've been running with the same NVME for months with Armbian installed so it can't be the board. I can also mount and access the NVME from the new install with kernel 6.1 on the SD card, its only booting from the NVME that doesn't work.

Good idea but I tried it now and it didn't help. I erased the flash with "flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 0" and wrote the bootloader to MTD again using armbian-config but it still doesn't boot without the SD card inserted. I even tried to erase the flash a second time and write rkspi_loader.img from Armbian 24.2 but it made no difference.

I went ahead and tried to install to NVME by using armbian-config but it doesn't boot. When I try to boot without a SD card the red light just stays on, nothing happens. I have also connected the Orange Pi to a screen with HDMI but when the SD card is out there's no output at all. Unfortunately I don't have a USB to serial adapter so I can't see if there's any output there. I updated the MTD at the same time so I thought that might be the problem, but I got the rkspi_loader.img from Armbian 24.02.1 and wrote it to MTD but that didn't change anything. Have you gotten it working from NVME, @jordanius? To end on a positive note, rebooting started working again. I really don't know if I did anything to make it work again but I've rebooted several times now during testing and it starts up again every time.

I got transcoding working with HDR movies too, after some help on Github. The latest libmali driver doesn't work with kernel 6.1 so I needed an older version. Apparently the most up to date driver uses the latest DDK and that's broken with 6.1. The libmali driver v1.9-1-2d267b0 from November seems to work with 6.1 though. I've only done a few quick tests so I don't know how stable it is but if I don't notice any trouble in a day or so I'll probably move this installation from the SD card to the NVME and use it for real.

I just remembered, one thing that doesn't work is rebooting. It seems to get stuck somewhere so I have to pull the power. It did that sometimes with the old 5.10 kernel too but now it seems to happen every time.

I've been running with the new kernel for two days now and almost everything works great. I built my own version with the build tool since I use a headless server and could only find the minimal version of Debian Bookworm available for download. So I made a standard server version, everything else set to defaults. Open Media Vault 7 works great, and Jellyfin with Rockchip support mostly works. The only problem is that I can't get transcoding of HDR movies working with Jellyfin, transcoding of SDR and direct streaming works perfectly. That's basically what I've tested so far since that's what I use my server for, if I can only get transcoding working I'll switch permanently. Thank you all so much for making the new kernel available!

Are there any plans to make a version with the new Rockchip 6.1 kernel available for Orange Pi 5/5+? Joshua Riek seems to have had some success, he even got the Panfork drivers running. I run a headless server though so even without graphics it would be interesting but I use Debian.
