Hi !
I upgraded to Fedora 29 on my intel ivybridge and it's currently Kodi 18 beta 4 packaged with it.
PGS subtitles aren't displaying correctly. I can only see rectangles...

Another problem is samba connections within Kodi who don't work anymore with my Freenas while it was working with previous version of Kodi.
I resolved it by mounting shares directly under Fedora at boot

Do I miss doing something ?

Thank you !
David

Hi,

You may find it more useful to post questions to the RPMFusion mailing list.

The fix for Samba is currently in updates-testing. The update to beta 5 has not been pushed to updates-testing yet, but it will be pushed in a day or two.

Samba fix:
dnf --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing update kodi\*
(kodi-18.0-0.15.b4.fc29)

Beta 5:

(kodi-18.0-0.16.b5.fc29)

I have a separate question for you.

Can you play a video that has a large aspect ratio? Something that would have black bars on your screen.

Do you see pieces of your Kodi skin left as artifacts in the black bars?

I only see this on my Ivy Bridge system and I cannot reproduce it on any other system.

I didn't notice skins problems when i tried it.
I came back to Fedora 28 - Kodi 17.6 for more constancy.
my problems are reproducible under a virtual machine with virtualbox

I've found what the problem was :

Intel accelerated video need libva-intel-driver rpm to be installed.

or
sudo dnf install libva-intel-driver
