Hi All,

I'm trying to get kodi to run on an NVidia Jetson TX1 (Tegra ARM, http://www.nvidia.com/object/jetson-tx1-dev-kit.html). I compiled everything from scratch. The UI works fine, but whenever I try to play a video it hangs after the first frame. Even the debug output in the top left (FPS/CPU etc.) stops until I kill the program. I tried different streams from the web and different versions of the Big Buck Bunny movie from http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/, and all show the same result.

Any hints welcome...

Thanks!

Sideline: It's dirty because I had to do the following changes to make it compile:

Quick followup if you need to try this yourself: debugging it looked like it was hanging in glUnmapBuffer, so an OpenGL more than a kodi problem. I had switched to GL because GLES wasn't working, but as it turns out OpenGL ES works fine on the TX1, but you need the following in /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig/egl.pc for kodi to compile:

prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${prefix}/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: egl
Description: Mesa EGL library
Requires.private: libdrm >= 2.4.24 x11 xext xdamage xfixes x11-xcb xcb-glx >= 1.8.1 xcb-dri2 >= 1.8 xcb-dri3 xcb-present xcb-sync xshmfence >= 1.1 xxf86vm
Version: 10.1.3
Libs: -L${libdir} -lEGL
Libs.private: -lm -lpthread -ldl
Cflags: -I${includedir}

Also, the configure line is ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnu --disable-vaapi --enable-gles --disable-gl --enable-tegra --disable-vdpau .

Using OpenGL ES everything works fine, and it runs 1080p h265 videos without problems.

Hope it helps... Now moving on to mame...

Nice.

Probably nice low power use from that thing.

I almost ordered one myself, but stopped when I found out that it didn't support VDPAU.
