Anyone who can help with my problem? I cannot start any rtp stream on my Fire TV. Please find below the debug information. Thank you.

This might be a guess at the moment only. But I think the android build of ffmpeg has been build without pthread support. I read somewhere that pthread is only support starting with Android NDK 9 or so. (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10196...or-android)

Could be that all Kodi builds depend on a lower NDK level due to backward compatibility.

UPD/RTP require pthread cancel function being enabled at build time. I guess this has been disabled back in 2012 for ffmpeg due to an incomplete pthread implementation on Android http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel...24298.html.


UPDATE:
There seems to be some history in why there is no native pthread_cancel available on Android/Bionic see http://www.phonesdevelopers.com/1718746/.

VLC seem to have covered that missing feature with some workaround / compatibility approaches: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.vid...evel/96263

Can you file a bug report on trac.kodi.tv?

Done.

You can follow the issue here http://trac.kodi.tv/ticket/15666 including the investigation on its origin I've done so far.

EDIT:

I've updated FFMpeg and proposed a small change. If the changes are accepted, we could again run a test with RTP over UDP (IPTV Client) on FireTV.
