v18 - Built popcornmix/newclock5 18.0b2 but still poor performance playing back HEVC

I build popcornmix/newclock5 18.0b2 on Arch ARM in an attempt to replicate the amazing HEVC performance I get when I boot into LibreElec.  I am wondering what I am missing in my build because playback maxes out the cores on the RPi3B+ under my build yet is 25-30% under LibreElec.  I noticed when I hit the "O" key during playback some differences:

LibreElec:
Code:
video decoder: ff-hevc_rpi-mmal (SW)
Pixel format: sand64_10

My build:
Code:
video decoder: ff-hevc-mmal (SW)
Pixel format: yuv420p10le

I am building like this:
Code:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib \
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/vc \
-DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=rbpi \
-DWITH_CPU=cortex-a53 \

I will edit this post the build log shortly (rebuilding and saving the log).

Thanks for any insights.

Cannot create new connection to kodi on Libreelec

Hi

When I try to create new connection to Libreelec box (8.2.5, with kodi 17.6) from kore (v 2.4.4), and click "Test" button, I get "Can't connect to Kodi/XBMC. Please check configuration" message and the host is not added.
I tested same configuration (ip, port, username and password) with yatse on same device and it works, so I think it's not a network or kodi configuration problem. Indeed, I can ping kodi host from android device, telnet to port 80 and 9090 works (can establish connection).

I did a tcpdump on my router while trying to add the host and this is what I found:
Code:
Kore->Kodi
POST /jsonrpc HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 49
Host: 192.168.2.82
Connection: Keep-Alive
Accept-Encoding: gzip
User-Agent: okhttp/2.3.0

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"JSONRPC.Ping","id":25}

Kodi->Kore
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Length: 0
Connection: close
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=XBMC
Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2018 23:07:19 GMT


It seems kore forgot to send basic authentication to kodi (I'm sure i filled the fields on the kore gui). I tried to do a similar request in python but with basic auth and I got:
Code:

>>> import requests as r
>>> rr=r.post('http://192.168.2.82/jsonrpc', auth=('username,'password'), json={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"JSONRPC.Ping","id":25})
>>> rr.content
b'{"id":25,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"pong"}'
>>> rr.status_code
200

Any idea? It's strange I'm the only with this problem

v18 - Windows to S905 LE .Kodi restore v. LE Sys + Kodi backup-restore

Edit: I was actually trying to post to LibreElec but don't know how I jumped to Kodi instead. Sorry if I did wrong.
-----
I think I understand .kodi folder backup /restore, but how about backup/restore with LE updates including add-ons/Docker?
So here is what I want:

1. Have Leia beta2 installed on my Win7 laptop, with add-ons and settings. No library items, just online streaming for now.

2. I can use the Kodi Backup add-on to backup the updated .Kodi from Windows to GDrive or USB stick.
Then I can restore on LE S905 box that already has Kodi Backup add on installed.
Question: Is there an SSH way to update .Kodi from Windows PC to S905 LE?

3. Now I further update LE with installation and configuration of LE (and Kodi) add-ons plus LE Docker add-ons.
Questions:
A. This means I can backup up Kodi + LE via the LE > System >System and Kodi Backup & Restore menu as a date.tar file?
B. Also that the Kodi Backup will only backup the . Kodi folder with Kodi add-ons updates and settings in a zip file?

4. I should then be able to use the respective 3A .kodi.zip and 3B date.tar files and restore to another S905 LE box (with fresh LE Leia installed) via respective Kodi Backup add-on and LE System and Kodi Backup&Restore menus?

Hello all,

It may be a silly question, but I can not find a way to remove the red hue bottom in menus as shown in picture. Is there any way? I'm sure that it can be done because I have seen screenshots of the skin without it...

So with Kodi now able to blend frames to smooth out when using Pixel Shaders as rendering, I like this and my 3770k powered HTPC has more than enough power to forgo hardware acceleration.  Buuuuuut when this is enabled I lose DXVA deinterlacing.  I ALSO have some interlaced DVD remuxes.  Is there any way in advanced settings where I could configure it 'Use DXVA on MPEG2 only'?

I'm not sure if there's a problem here, but while debugging other issues in the log I am finding this near the top of the log after Kodi first boots:
10:42:35.779 T:4056937216 ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting library%3a%2f%2fvideo%2frecentlyaddedmovies.xml%2f/

The path is obviously wrong there, but how can I tell what's trying to access it so I can fix it?  I'm thinking since it's close to right after boot, it's not a skin-dependent issue, but could be wrong…

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there is any way to switch quickly between pre made custom color theme on Titan. This is fun to do it manually in the settings but it would be great to have a custom color manager to save or use pre made custom color template.

I'm using Titan 3.7.56 and Kodi 17.6.

Thank you for your help.

I just did a factory reset on my Nvidia Shield and reinstalled No Limits Magic build.  Now i'm trying to install Google Chrome web browser.  I'm at the point where I've installed Google drive and need to activate it.  I get to google drive, add an account and enter the password on the website - kodi-login.herokuapp.com.  I've tried to enter the code with both my tablet and main PC.  Both times I get the message that I have to be in the same network as my Nvidia to enter the code.  All three of my units "are" inside the same network so i don't know what the issue is?  I'm unable to access the website from my Kodi system as I don't seem to have a web browser installed yet.  This is why I want to install Google Chrome inside my Kodi.  Am I going about this entirely wrong?  On my original install of Kodi I don't recall having any problems at allHuh

Bug - Titan Beta for Leia: Weird PVR Options sidebar behavior

September 26, 2018, 11:14 am

This is weird behavior I have only noticed since running the Kodi Leia beta.  I can receive both radio and TV channels from my Tvheadend backend, and Kodi seems to be able to figure out which channels are radio and which are TV, but in the Titan skin if I go into the OPTIONS sidebar it seems to only know about radio channels if the group All Channels is selected.  I have no idea why it does this.  If I am at the main screen and move to the Live TV tile and select Channels, Guide, Recordings, Timers, etc. then it works correctly and shows me only TV channels but once I am into any of those things if I try to move to the OPTIONS sidebar and select anything from there again it only shows me radio channels, guide or whatever.  And once it is in the Radio section, if I try to change the Group, my only options are All Channels (which produces this behavior) and Radio.

I finally figured out that if I open the sidebar while I am in TV Channels and before doing anything else I try to change the group, then I can change it to show TV channels.  But even there it's flaky - in addition to the options mentioned above I can select SDTV, TV Channels, or HDTV.  But if I set it to TV Channels, it will work and show all the channels but if I then leave the sidebar and come back, it changes and shows me HDTV channels only.  If I explicitly set it to show SD channels then that setting seems to stick between uses, as does HDTV channels.  But it won't stick if I set it to TV channels, which shows both. (EDIT: And now I just tried it again and it's back to only showing Radio channels, and no matter what I do I can't get it to show TV channels again.  AAARRRRGH!)

Again, this is something new I have only noticed since switching to Leia.  It seems something is goofy in the logic behind the Group selection, but I don't know what.

Broken - OPTIONS sidebar only shows Radio channels, not TV (in Live TV in Leia beta)

September 26, 2018, 1:00 pm

I had posted about this earlier but removed my previous post because most of what I had posted turned out to be wrong, so I wanted to start over.  This is a problem I've only noticed since upgrading to Kodi Leia. and the Titan Beta for Leia.

I use Tvheadend as my backend and it can receive both radio and TV channels via satellite. In the past Kodi was always able to figure out which channels are radio and which are TV, and still does except when it comes to the OPTIONS sidebar, where it acts as if TV doesn't exist and only shows Radio channels, guide, etc.  Anything I select from the menu (Channels, PVR, etc.) shows me the equivalent screen for the Radio channels, even though I am coming from a TV related screen.  Just as an example, I can be looking at the TV channels list, right-arrow to open the OPTIONS sidebar, click on Channels and instead of taking me back to the TV channels list, it takes me to the Radio channels.  Once there the only way I can get back to TV is to completely exit out to the main menu and then come back. At the main menu I can use the down arrow to bring up the submenu and from there selections work correctly, in other words if I click Channels it takes me to the TV channels, not the Radio channels.  It's only if I use the OPTIONS sidebar that I see this unwanted behavior.

At one point today I must have pressed some magical key combination and for a brief time it worked, until I exited Kodi and came back and then it was back to its old (wrong) behavior.

I did note that there are two distinct things that Kodi considers Radio, one is TV Channels that have a "Radio" tag, and the other is actual Radio channels  Tvheadend apparently considers anything with video as TV and therefore even if it's tagged as Radio is will be considered a TV channel by Kodi. But there is a separate group of channels with no video at all, strictly an audio stream, and that is also called "Radio" but Kodi considers it to be something different. That type of "Radio" has its own guide, timers, etc. that (at least in Kodi) are totally separate from TV channels (in other skins, such as Confluence, it even has its own main menu entry that's totally separate from TV). I think the problem in Titan is that these radio signals appear as a submenu selection in Live TV (which kinda makes sense because the backend groups them all together in its guides) but for some reason the OPTIONS sidebar seems to only know about the Radio channels, not the TV channels.  So if you select "All Channels" in the GROUP setting, it shows you all RADIO channels, but none of the TV channels.  And that happens even if you bring up the sidebar while in the TV channels list. This would be expected behavior if you were coming from the Radio channels list, but apparently it thinks you are always coming from Radio and never TV, if that makes any sense.

This wasn't a problem in previous versions of Kodi so I have no idea why it is so messed up in Leia.

Bug - Adding comment in xml file causes window to not be rendered properly

Simply adding a comment in the wrong place in an xml file, even if the comment is empty, causes a parsing error and, as a result, the window is not rendered correctly. Now before going any further, if comments are not supported in skin xml files, then that's fine. However, if they are supposed to be supported, then continue...

In Estuary using the Wall view, the following screen shows how a video that doesn't have a poster image, and is in focus, should be displayed (note the blue highlight around FDR One Man Show):
Image

I now inserted an empty comment at line 236 to the base Estuary file View_54_InfoWall.xml:

The result is that the the following error is in the log:

14:05:51.153 T:5320   DEBUG: ------ Window Init (Home.xml) ------
14:05:51.153 T:5320    INFO: Loading skin file: Home.xml, load type: KEEP_IN_MEMORY
