Thanks. Is there a link to disk image of rpi Helix build? I want to install using windows, so I can't use the tar file. Or does anyone know how to maybe create the iso from the tar files? Thanks in advance.

The Tar file is just compressed files, similar to zip. You can use a program such as 7zip on windows to extract the tar file and you will have what you need to build your RPI Helix. Good luck!

Hi,

I do see there are existing builds for RPi by DarkAngel; however, I wanted to compile the newer Helix version myself but encountered issues. I am cross-compiling on a virtual Ubuntu 14.04 environment. I have successfully compiled Kodi without dual audio, but when trying to make the dual audio release I get a make error (using PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm make release). Going through build output I noticed that I got a compilation error on DVDPlayerAudio.cpp. When examining that file I noticed that there is a patch applied for dual audio, but there is also a backport patch applied for RPi. The backport patch file was generated with no knowledge of dual audio changes I assume, so it appears that those patches are not being properly applied and subsequently causes compilation error (e.g. code change applied to wrong function). I made the change manually and ran make to start from where it crashed and it completed successfully, but I'm left to wonder if there are other issues there and they weren't detected by compiler. Also, I'm wondering if the dual audio patches should be applied in a different manner to ensure that it builds properly for all projects.

Thanks

Development for Helix 14.0 and OpenELEC 5.0.0 was done, enjoy!

Thank You.

... but I'm left to wonder if there are other issues there and they weren't detected by compiler.

No compiling issues, but backport patch adds a new setting called "centerboost", which isn't available for 2nd audio engine/output. Rest of backport patches concern GUI, so this should the only missing setting which has to be integrated into backport patch file.

Are you saying you are not having any compilation issues for RPi with the latest release of dual audio? If so, I'm at a loss to explain why I am. When I examined the CPP file that had an issue it appeared the backport patch was applied after dual audio patch and in so doing appeared to cause some mix-up and one of the backport changes was actually placed in the wrong section of the file which ultimately led to compilation to fail.

Hi All.

Thank you for your work on the "dual audio output" feature!

I installed OE 5 official on my new Cubox i4pro and then I discovered that I was not able to stream audio on both the HDMI output (linked to the TV set) and the S/PDIF output (linked to the DAC).

After some googling, I landed to this useful thread... Then I proceeded this way:
1) I downloaded the OpenELEC-imx6.arm.DA-5.0.0.tar image from openelec-dualaudio.subcarrier.de/OpenELEC-DualAudio/imx6.arm/
2) I put the image on the /Update/ SMB share of my cubox
3) I reboot the cubox via SSH command

After the reboot, the new image was found and automatically installed. After a second reboot, Kodi started, but... S/PDIF and HDMI still cannot stream audio in parallel :-(

Am I missing some additional conf step?

Thanks a lot for your support!

Alessandro

Are you saying you are not having any compilation issues for RPi with the latest release of dual audio?

No, I had the same compile error in DVDPlayerAudio.cpp, an "else if" was applied to the wrong method. A manual correction was a quick and dirty solution to solve that problem - just like you did.

After analyzing that backport patch file the second problem with missing "centerboost" handling for audiooutput2 came out - to be precise: there is no other compile error, but same handling for 2nd audio output like for main audio output isn't possible due to missing configuration parameter and code for that. In my opinion it's just a minor problem for now, so I just uploaded the binary for RPi.
For earlier OE 4.1.x and 4.2.x RPi builds the dual audio patch file had to be adjusted, too - so that special handling for RPi builds isn't very new to me.

Sorry for my late response...

Ah ok. This is still new to me, and I thought I was doing something wrong as I didn't see anyone else mentioning any issues specific to RPi.

I just wanted to thank you for your continued support of this much appreciated plugin. Updating to KODI now!

[Peterhoeg]

Hi, is there any chance that this will make it upstream and become part of Kodi?

I just tried to build this a couple of different ways on Ubuntu 14.04 but i keep getting this error:

Copying kodi binary to /usr/local/lib/kodi/
install: cannot stat ‘kodi-xrandr’: No such file or directory
make: *** [install-binaries] Error 1

That's not enough info for someone help. The error you quote is likely resulting from an error in an earlier step. You should recreate the earlier error by compiling again, then share that error here. Clean out the current results with:

Code:

cd ~/Kodi_dualaudio/
make clean
git clean -xfd

the start from my step (6)

Code:

(6) ./bootstrap
(7) ./configure [I use ' ./configure --enable-external-libraries ' for Ubuntu]
(8) make
(9) sudo make install

Then carefully watch the results from each step. There will likely be some sort of error or failure that looks something like this:

Code:

PeripheralCecAdapter.cpp:1291:35: error: ‘CEC_CLIENT_VERSION_2_2_0’ was not declared in this scope
   m_configuration.clientVersion = CEC_CLIENT_VERSION_2_2_0;

This example is from ReMi, but it appears to be a common error for people compiling Helix for the first time. It shows that CEC was missing from his machine. If you post an error like this, someone will probably have an idea how to fix it.
