hi
I have a question !
Since 10 days the " volum button " is different .
before when i push it, + or - the volum on my samsung home mouve, kodi and samsung was unified.
now when i try to mouve volum, i just change the kodi volum.
thanks a lot
( sorry for my very bad english )

Since 10 days the " volum button " is different .

This means nothing to me as I don't know anything about your update history.

What was your last working build? Can you identify the first build after that which no longer works? If you can tell me the exact build when the problem starts then there's a very good chance of identifying the reason for the change, and if necessary fixing it (assuming it's not by design).

What remote are you using, LIRC? CEC? GPIO? If it's CEC what make/model of TV (and/or AVR) are you using?

Using the latest build (ie. #1120) post a link to a full debug log (wiki) which shows you pressing the volume +/- buttons, and the same again when using the last working build.

[...] but OMX is likely to be dropped in Kodi 19 (along with RPi0/RPi1 support in general).
[/quote]

@Milhouse: So that means, Kodi 19 will be based on Debian ARMv7 armhf or maybe Debian ARMv8 arm64? Sounds great. Is there an alpha release window yet?

LibreELEC for RPi2/3/3+ will still be ARMv7 based, yes, as it is today. We have no plans for ARMv8 support at this time, as there's no obvious compelling benefit.

What about future proofing? This would make the transission if nessasary much quicker and smoother

"at this time" - once it becomes necessary or there's a compelling reason, and there is official ARMv8 support from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, we'll begin work on ARMv8.

At the moment the ARMv8 RPi support is still a work in progress and incomplete (ARMv7 is the recommended/supported arch), the ARMv8 performance benefit is not significant (from past testing, 10-15% or less compared with ARMv7), there's no ARMv8 64-bit Widevine support (no Netflix/Amazon support with ARMv8, unless we ship a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userland, defeating the purpose of switching to ARMv8), and it would mean another build to support in addition to RPi2/ARMv7 for no significant gain.

ARMv8 support will happen, when it makes sense...

[misiuzeb]

In 1121 plugin enigma2 no start and no work.

[Milhouse]

In 1121

So are you saying (without saying) it last worked in #1120? Can you confirm this, or are we left to guess?

plugin enigma2

Do you mean pvr.vuplus?

no start and no work.

No debug log (wiki), no problem.

[misiuzeb]

Yes pvr.vuplus. sorry i cant log this today. In 1120 works good.

[Milhouse]

Yes pvr.vuplus. sorry i cant log this today. In 1120 works good.

Presumably it's this: https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.vuplus/issues/134

A pvr.vuplus fix is in the works.
