If you are lucky, Ubuntu 16.04 alpha already has everything you need.
You only need to rebuild kodi then ...

mmm...interesting. so the problem today is that the base distro (ubuntu 15.10) is not compatible with my hardware. the only way is to use the milhouse that you suggest that should have all the stuffs ok, right?

No ... you can easily install a recent nvidia driver / libvdpau for your 15.10 and then rebuild kodi. It requires manual work - that's always the case if you want bleeding edge software. Without getting your hands dirty you won't get it to work :-)

understood. the problem is that with the latest driver from nvidia.com i can't get the HEVC_MAIN activated. and the libvdpau is already the latest version from the standard repo....

So - does it work with OE? 352.63 <- is the newest nvidia driver, btw.

Download the img.gz and gunzip it? (was that question sane again?)

sorry for the time that you spent with me....i've found a response about my problem.....the video card is not a real GTX 960 but a GTX 970M rebranded by driver. the GTX 960 is a GM206 chipset, this one is GM204....excuse me.
