RK3399 Legacy Multimedia Framework

[ATK]

UPDATE  : just checked inside armbian-config there "enable desktop environment" was disabled (don't know why this happened, before updating/upgrading this fresh installation desktop was all good and running)... So I just "enabled desktop environment" Again... Rebooted... And was back in DE... 

BUT one more observation/issue came up even before this update/upgrade....when I first installed this image I plugged in a "Dell" Wireless mouse/Keyboard pair (WIRELESS Kb/mouse receiver dongle inserted in USB2).. strange thing is happening now... It's all ok if I only use mouse BUT the moment I punch in few keys using the keyboard the system just suddenly halts.. I further investigated this by plugging in a USB/SERIAL cable.. I observed that the moment this keyboard activity/system halt happens the terminal throws up some messages which seems to be some "sleep" /PMIC  related and also some "exceptions" are reported.... Picture of those messages are attached.

I'm not sure how this issue can be related to the multimedia framework. Please post armbianmonitor -u

[ATK]

I finally moved the installation from SD card to eMMC (using NAND SATA Install script)and after that no problem experienced BUT F.Y.I below I am sharing Armbianmonitor output for both condition (when OS was on SD card and later when the OS was on eMMC) .

Armbianmonitor output  (OS on SD card)>>   http://ix.io/3uY1

Armbianmonitor output  (OS on eMMC)>>   http://ix.io/3uYa

 

Please also suggest which is the best scheme for CPU Governor  "On demand" or "Performance"  ?

Ondemand works very well in this kernel, more efficient and you won't notice any performance loss in most use cases

@JMCC continuing testing

 

 

 

I tested the new KODI on a Nanopc T4 + 4k TV with 4k resolution. Everything works fine. When playing test videos to the full screen, which works in 4k mode (desktop resolution 3840x2160), the load on the processor is minimal, here is a fragment of monitoring. For those who want to try a new version of KODI on Nanopc T4, there is a link to Bullseye test images with a new core.

@balbes150 well, I decided to put the Station M1 with a small monitor in the kitchen. That gives me a reason to make new Kodi packages. Only problem is that it is still packed in some box lying around the house. Let's see if I can get hold of it anytime soon 

[balbes150]

@JMCCWe kindly ask you not to add dependencies on specific kernels to future packages. New kernels with HW can be for RK \ AW and different versions of edge \ current.

Yes, that makes sense. As a matter of fact, the legacy Kodi packages don't have any kernel dependency, it is only the meta-package for the whole multimedia framework that depended on the legacy kernel. The reason for that was that, if installed on a different kernel, it would break the system. But Kodi won't break anything by itself, so no kernel dependencies this time, I promise

I am looking for an easy way to install Kodi on a headless server (Helios64 - rk3399). I am not using a legacy kernel but 5.10.43 and Armbian Bullseye.

The intention is just to stream videos and display pictures with Kodi to a DLNA enabled smart TV.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

As stated above, you can install the packages from this link: https://users.armbian.com/jmcc/packages/kodi-mainline/arm64/

 

I am planning to build Kodi 19 packages and integrate them into the Armbian repos, but no ETA yet.

Thank you very much for the hint. Installation of the packages went smoothly on the headless server. After messing around with the configuration files guisettings.xml and advancedsettings.xml I could access the web interface on port 8080 and change the settings, configure some addons etc.

 

However, it would not appear to be possible to add a media library or addons using the web interface - the required functionality is not displayed. Is this a known limitation of the web interface or is this due to a mistake on my side ?  As there is no access to any other Kodi GUI on the headless server I am stuck at that point. 

 

I am looking forward to test Kodi 19 packages once you found some time to build them.

No idea, I never did that. I guess you may be luckier in the Kodi forums.

 

However, if you are using Kodi as a headless server, I see no point in using my packages. The only benefit they have is HW accelerated video play, but you are not using Kodi to watch the videos, are you? If that is the case, then you may be better off using the standard distro packages, which may have some functionalities enabled that are not present in my packages (maybe, I don't know, I never used them).

Actually I am currently just exploring. Using Kodi as a headless server to stream to DLNA enabled devices turned out to be suboptimal :-)) .

 

Meanwhile I switched to Plex on the server. For all clients (SmartTV, Computers and iOS Devices) a native Plex app is available for free (except for iOS - a one time fee of 4.99 Euros is required for each device) and I am astonished about the performance and professional look of the system. The installation is configured as non-accessible from the outside - nonetheless the media can be streamed to remote devices coupled to the home network via VPN. Setting up a client-server system with Plex is a "no-brainer". You just have to make sure that the required ports are not used by other servers (port 9090 was used by another media server in my case).

 

I would strongly recommend Plex if you wish to stream content from a (headless) server to various client devices in your home network.

Hi!

I'm trying to install the legacy-multimedia-framework on my rockpro64 but I always end with a non working system.

Even ssh service is not available...

 

Here my steps:

• install armbian buster (on eMMC using usbimager)
• Complete the first boot configuration (password, user, ecc...)
• apt update; apt upgrade
• apt install media-buster-legacy-rk3399 --install-recommends
• reboot
• the board light are flashing but, after the boot prompt, the screen becomes total black and all the command I enter at the keyboard have no effect

Nothing more, nothing less.

I have also tried installing desktop using the armbian-config before the framework (which works well), but I ended in the same situation.

 

Can you suggest what I might have done wrong?

Thank you,

Riccardo

First if all, if you want help you need to provide some basic information, like "armbianmonitor -u". Please read forum rules.

 

Second, are you sure you are using a buster legacy image, not "current"?

[Rickyx]

Thank you Jmcc,

I mistakenly thought that legacy was referring to the fact that buster is the old version: but instead it refers to a different the kernel version...

After downloading the last legacy version from:

https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/rockpro64/archive/

I correctly set all the framework.

 

Now chromium+threejs works very smooth.

Thank you again,

Riccardo

How is the state of this on the new release? Is VPU now possible on mainline?
I had tried images from balbes150 for the station P1 where I could install his Kodi packages for this. I was wondering if this now is possible on the latest release or not? And what packages need to be used for this?
Greetings.

[gounthar]

What about hardware encoding with mainline?
Is it possible now?

Not AFAIK, and also ISP camera support was planned but I am not sure of the current status. I think those are the two main points why someone would like to stay using legacy.

I wanted to do some standard packages for all distros in mainline, but I have been overloaded since some time ago, and I am not sure when will I be able to have a look at it. I will announce if it becomes ready.

In NanopiM4v2 for sound on hdmi:

Edit the Alsa config:

 

nano /etc/asound.conf 

 

Delete old content and paste the following one:

 

pcm.snd_card { type hw card 1 device 0 } ctl.snd_card { type hw card 1 device 0 } pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 1024 ipc_perm 0666 slave.pcm "snd_card" slave { period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_size 4096 rate 48000 format S16_LE channels 2 } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } } 

Save the file and reboot.

IT'S FINALLY HERE...

 

THE OFFICIAL ROCKCHIP-LEGACY MULTIMEDIA INTEGRATION

 

After two years of using a separate script to enable the multimedia features in RK3399 Legacy Kernel, the whole framework has been incorporated to the official Armbian packaging system. The choice distro for this integration is Debian Buster (see FAQ at the end of this post about the reasons).

 

I. Installation

1. Download a Armbian Buster Legacy Desktop image for your board, and install it with the standard Armbian method.
2. Install the complete multimedia solution with

   sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
   
   sudo apt install media-buster-legacy-rk3399 --install-recommends

   The switch "--install-recommends" will add the whole Kodi binary addons collection (retro-gaming cores, music visualizations, screensavers, additional media decoders/encoders, vfs, etc.), plus the GLES-to-OpenGL wrapper "gl4es".

I am have RockPi 4C.
I am go to https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/rockpi-4c/ and download latest buster legacy:

https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/rockpi-4c/archive/Armbian_21.08.1_Rockpi-4c_buster_legacy_4.4.213_xfce_desktop.img.xz

Write image on sd card, boot from sd card and do commands:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install media-buster-legacy-rk3399 --install-recommends

And reboot

 

But I am see on my monitor (connected via hdmi) only blank screen.

Some info I am found in logs:

@amurchick the monitor worked well without having installed the multimedia framework?

Can you connect the monitor after the startup of the RockPi ?

Can you help me?
Thank you!

 

Can you please do the whole process again from scratch? I mean, flashing again the SD card, and installing the multimedia framework. This time, please post all the output of the "apt-install" command.

Also, please post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*

@amurchick the monitor worked well without having installed the multimedia framework?

Can you connect the monitor after the startup of the RockPi ?

@Rickyx monitor say "No signal" when first booted from sd-card.

`dmesg` says "dwhdmi-rockchip ff940000.hdmi: failed to get edid"

All my trys to remove/insert HDMI cable - make same messages in dmesg.

So I am try previous versions from https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/rockpi-4c/
- Armbian_21.05.1_Rockpi-4c_buster_legacy_4.4.213_xfce_desktop.img.xz

- Armbian_21.02.3_Rockpi-4c_buster_legacy_4.4.213_xfce_desktop.img.xz

- Armbian_21.02.1_Rockpi-4c_buster_legacy_4.4.213_desktop.img.xz

- Armbian_20.11.10_Rockpi-4c_buster_legacy_4.4.213_desktop.img.xz

- Armbian_20.11.6_Rockpi-4c_buster_legacy_4.4.213_desktop.img.xz

 

Same result: no signal and `dmesg` says "dwhdmi-rockchip ff940000.hdmi: failed to get edid"

 

I am have Armbian 22.05.1 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.35-rockchip64 on eMMC - when boot from it - there are image on monitor and no `dmesg` messages like "ff940000.hdmi: failed to get edid" when remove/insert HDMI cable...
But image has defects (moire) and wrong colors - so I am guess my micro-HDMI to HDMI adapter has problems (before I am never connect monitor - its role before today was headless router).

I will order new micro-HDMI to HDMI cable and try again. I will let you know result.

@Rickyx, @JMCC Thank you for time spending.

After first start I am see in serial console:

 

Now starting desktop environment...

 

But monitor says "No HDMI signal".

 

In /var/log/Xorg.0.log I am see correct monitor detection:

I am try FHD monitor (1080p) and HD TV (720p)- same result (in logs all OK, but no image on screen).

 

So I think the problem is in my rock pi 4 c hardware.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello,

I'm posting here hoping to get a response

 

Context :

 

I currently have my Helios64 server running on Armbian 22.02.1. I have several services (in total 21 Docker Containers) including Jellyfin to watch movies (only 1080p - H264).

Currently, I'm sending the video stream to my chomecast connected to my Salon TV. It sometimes happens (for certain film releases) that reading is impossible (freeze), the CPU is then at 100% utilization. I use hardware acceleration (VAAPI) for transcoding but it doesn't seem enough sometimes

 

So I wonder can i use your solution "ROCKCHIP-LEGACY MULTIMEDIA INTEGRATION" to play my movies directly on my TV via HDMI ? Will I lose my already functional services?

 

If one evening, I decide to watch a movie, so I start on the desktop :

1. Will my other services still be able to run in the background?
2. Will the reading performance be better ?

 

Thank you for all your details

I forgot to specify that I am using the CLI version of Armbian and not desktop.

First of all, for this multimedia integration to work, you need to be running the legacy kernel (4.4.x). You don't specify which kernel you are running.

Second, AFAIK the only option to make HW encoding to work is gstreamer. This solution will install the required gstreamer plugin (see first post). But Jellyfin uses ffmpeg, so it is difficult that you can make it work with gstreamer, without editing the code and recompiling. Maybe another option is using a wrapper script that uses a ffmpeg pipe, and pointing the custom ffmpeg version from Jellyfin menu, but I have never tried something like that.

 

Third, and most important, if you want to post any question, please follow the forum guidelines and provide all the necessary information.
