kodi unable to create gui exiting windows 7 64 bit

Performance: I tested a variety of 1080p files across multiple codecs (VC-1, H264, HEVC). I got exactly the same performance (no hardware decoding of files) but also a weird 1 pixel vertical line on the left side of the screen in Kodi which was distorted. I suppose I'd recommend sticking with fkms just because that's the recommended driver.Ĭode: Select all dtoverlay=rpivid-v4l2 to my config.txt. Kodi might idle at a slightly lower resource usage under fkms than under KMS, but if so it's not enough to make a difference to anything meaningful (~5% on one thread). I tested both the old KMS and recommended fake KMS (vc4-fkms-v3d), and did not see a difference between them. As far as I know popcornmix has never even cut a release. Perhaps this is due to hardware decoding of HEVC being completely broken anyway on kernel 5.10, at least according to reports, but if you're going to stick to the latest kernel (as I assume most are) I really don't see what running an unofficial fork of Kodi is going to achieve for you. I tested each one of them with every combination of settings I could think of, and they behaved exactly the same in every case. I built both the official Kodi 19.1 release and the popcornmix fork at the same 19.1 release commit. The results may be useful for anyone trying to figure out what to do. I've also done some testing with the latest stable kernel (5.10.17) and bootloader (6 Jul).

You'd have to take that up with the Raspberry Pi or Kodi folks. I can't necessarily help if the program builds but then doesn't run or runs with a black screen or major graphical glitches, etc. I'm willing to help users who have trouble building the software using those instructions (reminder: I don't recommend building on an SD card, you will probably kill it). There's also been discussion about it here: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=288234&p=1875392#p1875392įYI I had no issues building and running 19.1 using the instructions in my previous post: viewtopic.php?p=1824600#p1824600 More people reporting, more likely that they fix it. I recommend that you report your problem there too.

Kodi stop by 'sudo systemctl stop kodi' (command which ends with a timeout then a kill).įYI, my problem seems to me to be related to this:.

Stop the video via the remote control (the screen becomes completely black and nothing more happens).

Video playback (the screen turns green and the sound is normal, then very quickly the screen freezes and the sound cuts out, then nothing changes).

The log corresponds to the following actions: I tried to get a more interesting log, but I don't think I got it:
