"Starting Kodi (19.0-ALPHA1 Git:56b0543). Platform: Linux ARM 32-bit"

Millhouse, I feel a bit dumb but I could've sworn I read Kodi 19 was going to be fully 64bit only?  Or is that just the x86 or am I completely out of the loop?

You may be thinking of the recent 32-bit iOS announcement: https://kodi.tv/article/kodi-19-welcomes...-ios-32bit

Kodi supports both 32-bit and 64-bit ARM on Linux and Android, and it may also still support 32-bit on x86/i386 for Linux (but I haven't built that for years so can't be certain!)

So is it only x86 Windows build that's going 64bit only?  Damnit I'm sure I read 64bit ONLY going forward and this will break many addons but it has to happen?
Oh well.   Maybe I'm wrong.   I know, regretably I won't switch to 19 for a long time, until things like "library auto updater"  and my skins end up working.

Probably mixing up x86 Windows going 64bit only and add-ons are switching from Python 2 to Python 3 which means all add-ons will break until updated.

The move to 64-bit doesn't actually break add-ons(*) as they are written in Python which doesn't care.
(*) except binary add-ons like inputstream, but they are the exception.

Not sure if this is relevant here, but I've just found out that I was a victim of the nyton ransomware December last year (potentially caused by unofficial Kodi addons that attacks windows based network shares on the network). So I've just scanned my network for vulnerabilities with BitDefender and it considers my kodi box with the latest version of LibreELEC Matrix build #0609 (and probably all previous builds as well) as being of high risk due to "http uses an insecure authentication procedure and accepts unencrypted plain text logins". Is this normal or is it something I should be concerned about and is it caused by my config with my network or my kodi box / addons? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

That is normal with kodi if you have enabled "Allow remote control via HTTP" in settings/services/control (not a default option).
It's only a risk if you forward ports from your router to your kodi box (not recommended) or you have untrusted users on you local network.

But note that installing unofficial add-ons allows arbitrary code to run on your kodi device and has some level of risk.
Treat the same way as you'd treat any other application you download and run.

So is it only x86 Windows build that's going 64bit only?  Damnit I'm sure I read 64bit ONLY going forward and this will break many addons but it has to happen?
Oh well.   Maybe I'm wrong.   I know, regretably I won't switch to 19 for a long time, until things like "library auto updater"  and my skins end up working.

Probably mixing up x86 Windows going 64bit only and add-ons are switching from Python 2 to Python 3 which means all add-ons will break until updated.

The move to 64-bit doesn't actually break add-ons(*) as they are written in Python which doesn't care.
(*) except binary add-ons like inputstream, but they are the exception.

Oh so the Windows version is going 64 only at least?

Oh so the Windows version is going 64 only at least?

I'm not an expert as I don't use windows, but I read this.

[popeye2468]

Ok so feel like this may well be a stupid question but is there a list of add-ons working with this build yet? Please

@Milhouse I still seem to have problems enabling inputstream.rtmp. LE Master is still on version 3.0.3 while your notes say you updated to the latest commit of XBMC inputstream.rtmp, which is version 3.1.1. When trying to enable rtmp from LE repository I get the following error:

Code:

ERROR <general>: Add-on 'inputstream.rtmp' is not compatible with Kodi
ERROR <general>: CAddonInstallJob[inputstream.rtmp]: The dependency on kodi.binary.global.main version 1.1.0 could not be satisfied.

Installed kodi binary is v1.2.2.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry my bad. Did a clean install and now it works

Hi All,

I'm half expecting a link to a previous post explaining my issue (like the black screen issue everyone posted about), but I haven't seen anyone else post about it 🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm having an issue with audio 🤦🏼‍♂️ Running the latest build, #609. RPi4 connected to the TV with HDMI cable (obviously).
When I play a video file, most times than not, the video plays, but not the audio - I have to stop the playback and start the playback again... Sometimes the audio works but sometimes I have to do this more than once to get the audio working. The next thing that is odd is when the audio doesn't play, if I press the backspace button to go back to the menus (with the video playing in the background), the audio starts. Then if I go back into the video playback, the audio sometimes stops and sometimes continues...

The most annoying this is I cannot replicate or pinpoint the behaviour...
I can't work out if it's going to take one playback restart or a few - its always a guess...
It all seems VERY random when it happens.

Any help would be awesome.

ERROR <general>: CVideoPlayer::OpenInputStream - error opening [/storage/temp/rtmp.strm]
INFO <general>: CVideoPlayer::OnExit()

Both work fine on Windows and Android nightlies. Also work fine on LE 9.2.2 and I believe it worked on LE 9.8 April build (rtmp version 3.0x).

Thanks for checking.

Hi All,

I'm half expecting a link to a previous post explaining my issue (like the black screen issue everyone posted about), but I haven't seen anyone else post about it 🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm having an issue with audio 🤦🏼‍♂️ Running the latest build, #609. RPi4 connected to the TV with HDMI cable (obviously).
When I play a video file, most times than not, the video plays, but not the audio - I have to stop the playback and start the playback again... Sometimes the audio works but sometimes I have to do this more than once to get the audio working. The next thing that is odd is when the audio doesn't play, if I press the backspace button to go back to the menus (with the video playing in the background), the audio starts. Then if I go back into the video playback, the audio sometimes stops and sometimes continues...

The most annoying this is I cannot replicate or pinpoint the behaviour...
I can't work out if it's going to take one playback restart or a few - its always a guess...
It all seems VERY random when it happens.

Any help would be awesome.

Hello,  Just to let you know i do have the exact same behaviour ... switching audio stream (language) usually fix the issue.
(RPi4 also)

Strange - I've not seen this. How is your audio configured? e.g. num of channels/passthrough? Do you have an AVR or just TV?
