Hi all,
I am new to KODI & looking for some advice please.
I have very specific requirement that I want to use HummingBoard-Edge - i4Pro (iMX6 Quad) as a TV box. I also want to decrypt the video file before playing with KODI itself so that video file which is encrypted by some encryption tool will be played only by KODI. For that I would have to tweak KODI source code for dvdplayer I guess.
Question - 1 -> From where should I start to find the places in KODI source code so that I could add some decryption method in KODI dvdplayer for Video file decryption. Any suggestions, any pointers are very much welcome.
Question - 2 -> As I have to tweak KODI (as per my guess) I think I have to first install some linux distro on Hummingboard & then install KODI on that OS. So can you please suggest some linux distro for the same & how I could install OS + KODI on the board.
Question - 3 -> Will KODI use HummingBoards hardware acceleration successfully to play H.264 video?
Again, any suggestion, advice are welcome. Thanks in advance for the guidance.
