[GUIDE] Kodi on Orange Pi 5 with GPU Hardware Acceleration and HDMI Audio

bottlelid · August 20, 2023

@numetaler in case of these two add-ons I found the guides on how to compile them by visiting the GitHub repositories.

InputStream Adaptive has a wiki, which was linked in the README: https://github.com/xbmc/inputstream.adaptive/wiki/How-to-build

Tvheadend has the instructions in the README: https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.hts

hello all,

yesterday I tried to connect my bluetooth headset in kodi but found that there is no bluetooth adapter selectable.

I have a Realtek RTL8852BE M.2 installed in the 2230 slot. which works in normal Armbian desktop operation to some degree (When running WIFI and bluetooth at the same time I have sound distortion on the headset).
Can someone tell me what I need to do so that in Kodi Bluetooth is also listed?

Hi,

I'm trying to create a new SD to test the latest Armbian OS, Kodi can start in Wayland, the correct configuration is applied for DRM, but it crash after the request to play a video. Tested with x264 and x265. It happens with DRM off as well and I tried to check the Kodi crash log but I don't understand where the problem is.

What do you think?

The release is: Armbian 23.8.0-trunk.270 Jammy with Linux 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx

Also tested severals releases with the kernel 6.5-rc5 but the HDMI video output is not working

Thanks!!

My TV does not do DTS passthrough, so I am wondering if I can use the USB-C to HDMI for video to my TV, and the HDMI port for audio to my AVR (my AVR is old and cannot handle 4K). I currently have this cabeled up, and I have video working out the USB-C port, but I cannot get audio (from OS or Kodi) out of the HDMI port. The OS sees the connections:

Can't install kodi-inputstream-adaptive/jammy due to dependency on kodi-api-inputstream (< 3.1.0)

Only thing that I changed here was the OS

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Do not change OS.

wmb1964 · August 29, 2023

Thanks for the reply, unable to find trunk 173

wmb1964 · September 1, 2023

When I said I changed the OS it was to the most recent trunk release. The one in the article (hyperlinked) is no longer available.

What I can't seem to figure out is why this version of Kodi does not have an official repository installed, libreELEC, for example, gives you the official Kodi repo from the start.

My options seem to be apt-get, install an unofficial repository or build the add on.

Ideas?

compent · September 2, 2023

RK3588 isn't supported by Libreelec yet though.

Old versions are still available here. The link in the main post is outdated.

Nicholay Riviera · September 3, 2023

So just to be clear- this is the only build that works?

https://github.com/armbian/build/releases/download/23.02.0-trunk.0173/Armbian_23.02.0-trunk.0173_Orangepi5_jammy_legacy_5.10.110_xfce_desktop.img.xz#orangepi5

The link no longer works, as already mentioned.

And the archive linked in the post above does not contain this build.

Any chance we can get a working link to this build (if it is the only one that works)?

Thanks,

Nick

None. We don't have ability (and its also very stupid) to archive terabytes of automated builds made every day. If its automated build, it means its without any support by default. However we provide archive to official builds. Perhaps that helps https://archive.armbian.com/

Nicholay Riviera · September 3, 2023

Thank you for that info. I understand all daily builds can't be archived.

But is that build linked in the very first post the only one that works? I guess that is the main question. I can go to github and get the oldest trunk build on that site or get the oldest build in the archive you linked, but I don't know if there is something unique about that build in the original post. (The build mentioned in the OP is not in the archive or on github, or if it is it is under a different file name).

Not trying to be difficult. I just didn't know if I could pull down a more recent build than the one linked in the OP and still get this to work. It is great that some clever people have figured this out and shared it with us and I wanted to give it a try.

Thanks again,

Nick

I used https://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/armbian/archive/orangepi5-plus/archive/Armbian_23.5.4_Orangepi5-plus_jammy_legacy_5.10.160_xfce_desktop.img.xz but this is a different board. I guess any legacy Jammy 5.10.x should work.

Look here for something suitable https://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/armbian/archive/orangepi5/archive/

Maybe:

You can't use the official Kodi ppa version of Kodi. It doesn't include k35xx acceleration or a working widevine cdm for arm64.

You must use amazingfate's ppa for Kodi and not the Kodi official ppa.
When updating or installing the inputstream.adaptive plugin from that ppa or from any Kodi repository, it will prompt you to update widevine. cdm, The widevine cdm update that is installed doesn't currently work with arm64 Linux. At the bottom of my notes below, you can follow how to manually copy the right one, assuming that you have it installed in amazingfate's Chromium.

If you have the wrong Kodi installed then remove it and remove the official ppa.

My notes are a couple of months old, but if my notes are correct these are the steps to get Chromium widevine cdm and Kodi installed
(use at your own risk) Good Luck:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/panfork-mesa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/rockchip-multimedia

sudo apt update

sudo apt full-upgrade

sudo apt install libwidevinecdm

I might specifically have installed or reinstalled Chromium, but I don't have it in my notes. It may have done it automatically with the upgrade.

Some DRM streamers check the Chromium user agent on arm64 and won't work unless they find a ChromeOs user agent.
Create a launcher for DRM-Chromium with the correct user agent for widevine (or just launch it like this from the command line):
chromium-browser --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS aarch64 15236.80.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.5414.125 Safari/537.36"

Check widevine DRM works in Chromium with
https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm

sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop kodi

Start Kodi and install your plugins.
Try to run one DRM video and when it errors, do an apt install for inputstream.adaptive as recommended by the error message.
Install widevine cdm as prompted. This will create the directory structure for widevine and install the non-working version.

Copy libwidevinecdm.so from /lib/chromium-browser/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/linux_arm64/ to /home/{username}/.kodi/cdm/

Restart Kodi.

Thank you very much for this info schwar3kat!

Should this also work with the 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx kernel?

Probably.

royk · October 9, 2023

If there are people that still have problems with the overlays in Kodi, unable to see the OSD while playing a movie. You could try the following:

Install the overlay: sudo armbian-add-overlay vop.dts

Then:

armbian-config -> System -> DTC

Then search (crtl+w) for 'disable-win-move;' and remove that line. After that ctrl+x and save and agree to reboot

The correct way would be to edit/patch the dtb of course, but I thought it would be better to first check if this will solve it for everyone and perhaps this could be changed in the source.

vop.dts

Dbosco · October 10, 2023

Hi @royk,

thanks so much for the patch!

i've performed 2 tests:

Armbian_23.8.1_Orangepi5_jammy_legacy_5.10.160_gnome_desktop

Kodi Nexus with x264 & x265 media: the OSD works now, but when is opened the screen goes black, and the image reappear when is closed back. For some medias the screen is always black

Armbian_23.08.420-monka_orangepi5_jammy_legacy_5.10.160_gnome-desktop-AFM-1.6

with a fresh install without apt update, the OS come with Kodi Matrix and works with both x264 and x265. After updating the same appears as for Armbian_23.8.1_Orangepi5_jammy_legacy_5.10.160_gnome_desktop

I'll test more and let you know

royk · October 10, 2023

@Dbosco I did have that behavior when I didn't remove the "disable-win-move;" line.

You could check if the edited dtb is the one mentioned in armbianEnv.txt.

'ls -ltr /boot/dtb/rockchip/' The last file should be the same as the one in armbianEnv.txt

Dbosco · October 11, 2023

@royk

this is what i see

royk · October 11, 2023

@Dbosco I've seen something like that before. As you can see is your edited file rk3588s-orangepi-5b.dtb while in your armbianEnv.txt you've got the file rk3588s-orangepi-5.dtb, so that's the reason it doesn't work.

So this seems to be a bug of the editor (or a config setting at some place), I'm not sure if that dtb only has the wrong filename or if it's an edited 5b dtb.

As workaround you could just try to edit the name in armbianEnv.txt to rk3588s-orangepi-5b.dtb and hope that it will boot

Or replace the 5b dtb with the OPi5 dtb and edit again, then move 5b dtb to OPi5 dtb:

sudo mv /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588s-orangepi-5.dtb /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588s-orangepi-5b.dtb

sudo armbian-config -> System -> DTC

Then search (crtl+w) for 'disable-win-move;' and remove that line. After that ctrl+x and save and DISAGREE to reboot

sudo mv /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588s-orangepi-5b.dtb /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588s-orangepi-5.dtb

sudo reboot

PajPaj · October 12, 2023

I updated my system (haven't done it for ages) and now I am unable to play HDR videos again (Kodi is playing them using sw, but super slow so not useful at all)

@royk are you currently able to play HDR videos with some kind of workaround?

Thanks in advance

OSD is back, tested some medias x264/5 and all good

@PajPaj

i ran a full system update and tested an HDR video and it works fine, compare my system info screenshot with your system to see if there is something different and understand how can be solved

royk · October 12, 2023

@Dbosco Great and tnx for letting me know.

@PajPaj Nothing special, you should've installed FFmpeg with MPP support, and Kodi build with that.

The one from amazingfate's repository should work. Then be sure you run it with the GBM window manager like you can see in the screenshots of Dbosco. Just follow the instructions of this topic for the right settings.

Perhaps you've updated FFmpeg en Kodi to a build without MPP?

@amazingfate Perhaps the DTB/dts can be edited in the source for the right behavior of the planes/overlays?

Edited October 12, 2023 by royk

amazingfate · October 12, 2023

@roykI just tested on rock5b. The osd is back under `Direct to Plane`. But it can't play 10 bit video. At first the 10 bit video is played well, but when I move the mouse, there comes a black screen with osd control panel.

Here is the video for test: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qrs97EBEWb6YxEp3WGoeFb-CarNJYYgp/view?usp=sharing

royk · October 12, 2023

@amazingfate Yeah I know what you mean, every time the OSD popups the video goes black. Removing the line 'disable-win-move;' from the dtb did solve that problem on the OPi5 and OPi5 plus.

amazingfate · October 12, 2023

@royk Rock5B doesn't have `disable-win-move` in devicetree, so I just change the vp nodes.
