[Development] RK3399 media script


JMCC

Recommended Posts

After installation of the media script, I experience very slow window dragging, i. e. moving a window is laggy and delayed - the mouse is faster and the window follows only very slowly. Do you experience the same?

 

"Enable display compositing" in Window Manager Tweaks is disabled as advised. Enabling "Hide the content of the window while moving" in Window Manager Advance settings at least speeds up moving windows a little bit, but not much.

 

Is this normal behavior or is there anything I can do to improve display performance?

Yes, it is a known issue with glamor, that instead of "accelerating" it slows down certain 2D operations. In the case of Rockchip's modified glamor to work with OpenGL-ES, It is even worse. It is the trade-off for having the possibility of an accelerated canvas for 3D, video playing, browser, etc.

 

However, in the mainline kernel and current X server, they are tweaking glamor to be much more efficient. Hopefully we can see a stable version soon.

Thanks for clarification :thumbup:. I have read this in your first post's documentation and therefor chose "amsoc" during installation. It seems that armsoc is also not that snappy, but good to know that glamor is even worse. Let's hope mainline with a current X server arrives soon :)

The script is not compatible with Armbian 20.02.0-rc1, as the Kodi uses `nodm`, but Armbian 20.02.0-rc1 uses lightdm. 

 

I have to modify the kodi-gbm-wrapper script to get it work. However, to `service lightdm stop` requiring *authentication*.  so it wont smoothly go to kodi. 

 

Last thing is the version - kodi  18rc4 - it doesn't have PVR addons, and it seems to be a known issue:

https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=336841

 

Update: Feb 7

After further search, I find the PVR addons for Ubuntu platform requires special installation

https://kodi.wiki/view/Ubuntu_PVR_add-ons

 

I tried `apt install kodi-pvr-iptvsimple`, but failed with dependency error: 

kodi-api-pvr (= 5.2.1)

 

I am looking for an update for the Kodi installation script :)

Ditto. Friendly seem to have permanently broken the video acceleration even though Chromium reports it as there. They have also added lots of junk.

 

Armbian with this script is my preference.

Hi did anyone managed to use the eDP port on the Nano PC T4?

 

I couldn't get it to work at all. IMO, Friendly generally has sketchy hardware compatibility and only loosely adheres to specs and standards.

kernel 4.4.216-rk3399
Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
Release:    18.04
Codename:    bionic

when I play video with mpv the cpu go  more of 150%.

how can I know that the orange pi has the hw acceleration enabled?

Thx!

 

Regards

yes  I run the script again , today let me test in a clean armbian image.

 

 

 

I re running the script but the cpu % goes to high, after that  I run script again but  in  a new armbian image, and cpu goes to high to

 

how can I launch 

I use differents options to launch mpv (--hwdec=rkmpp --vo=drm). but always cpu goes to high

what I doing wrong?

Thx

You need a fresh Armbian Bionic desktop image with legacy kernel installed.

OK, you are free to do whatever you want. But this is a thread about using my media script with Armbian legacy kernel. If you want to do something different, please don't discuss it here.

Hi there,

 

This is my firs msg to this forum.

 

First off I'd like to congratulate the devs on the superb work they've been doing.

 

I own a RockPro64 for almost a year and always wanted to use it as both a small server (with a few services installed as for example FTP, NextCloud, etc) and as a media center connected to my TV via HDMI to run Kodi (so no need of a desktop... only Kodi and remote SSH access), but since hardware acceleration was a must, I'd never found a suitable option. So I've been using LibreELEC and installing things I need mostly using Docker (which is not that a good solution since I wanted a 'real' server).

 

The thing is yesterday I found this topic and noticed the nice work you guys have been doing.

 

I installed it (eMMC, which seems to be working smoothly so far), but I have a couple of questions I'd like to ask if possible.

 

Since I don't need a desktop is there a way to boot automatically on Kodi, since it's all 'graphical' I'll need on this machine? I've seen a couple of old Kodi tutorials suggesting the creation of a systemd file, but I'm not sure if it's still valid to use with Armbian. Another option I saw here in this very forum, suggesting either placing kodi-gbm-wrapper in /etc/rc.local or disable the desktop and add "kodi" to my .bashrc (which I believe would be more suitable in my specific case). Which one do you suggest? And what would be the best way I could do that, considering that I just need boot on Kodi and remotely ssh the box?

 

Another question is the kernel. I've read this whole thread and noticed that you optmized and hacked things deeply. I also noticed that the armbian-config tool has an option to 'freeze' the kernel. In order to keep using your optimizations I must freeze the kernel or it won't be necessary?

 

And what about other updates? May I safely keep doing 'apt-get udate && apt-get upgrade' and just rebuilding your script?

 

Another detail I noticed is about Kodi itself. As soon as I run it yesterday I saw a message warning about an update. I imagine I must not update, correct?

 

The last question is about mainline kernels. I understand that you guys developed a specific solution to a specific scenario (in this case, a legacy kernel). Are there any plans to maybe develop a similar solution to mainline, though?

 

Thank you very much for any help and keep up the good work. :)

Exactly, just disable your desktop by running "sudo systemctl disable lightdm.desktop", and then place kodi-gbm-wrapper in /etc/rc.local

This script was intended only for testing, so you need to re-run it after every update that may affect some of its components. Besides that, of course you can and should update your system.

 

We are preparing a fully integrated solution into the Armbian package repos, so you won't need to use the script any more. I'll post about it soon, hopefully. I'll say a few words about Kodi there.

Hi there,

 

Thank you for your prompt reply.

 

May I bother you a little more and ask one or two more questions?

 

When I was using LibreELEC I was able to use my TV remote control to interact with Kodi via HDMI-CEC. I had to configure nothing, and it worked out of the box. Now with Kodi I can't make it work (I installed Kore on my smartphone, but, welll.... it's far from ideal) . I've googled a little and noticed that not all kernels offer support to this feature. Is that the case here? If so, do you have any suggestion on what I could do in order to enable it?

 

The other thing is about rebooting via software. I noticed that no matter the command I use ("sudo shutdown -r now", "sudo reboot", "sudo systemctl reboot") it kind of reboot (I can hear the attached disk power off and on again), the white led on the RP64 stops flashing and also power off but then they both (the white and the red leds) power on and nothing happens. It only works if I manually either disconnect the power supply or use the reset button. Is it anything I'm doing wrong, maybe?

 

Again, thank you so much for your invaluable help.

You can use the Armbian build script to build your customized kernel. After you select the board and the flavor (it must be Legacy), you can also choose to have a Kernel config menu. Look for the appropriate Kernel feature (I don't know the exact name, probably use the search function and enter 'CEC').

 

If you get it to work, please post your results here, and maybe you can make a Pull Request and contribute to the Armbian project.

Sorry, i don't own a RockPro64. You can post this question on a new thread, within this same Rockchip 3399 sub-forum.
