Thanks!
As some Nvidia libraries seem missing from my Ubuntu-build, I decided to start from scratch - i.e. a new SD-card image with Jetpack 4.5.1.
Kodi was build based on the instructions found on Github.

1) Issues encountered with old Kodi 19 RC (uploaded Jan26):

• Videos with 450p (SD) don't play (tried some .avi and .mp4)
  
• Videos in Portrait-mode are displayed in Landscape-mode. Rotation during playing is not working
  

2) Issues encountered with new Kodi 20 alpha (uploaded Mar17):

• Videos with 450p (SD) don't play (tried some .avi and .mp4)
  
• Videos in Portrait-mode are displayed in Landscape-mode. Rotation during playing is not working
  
• (Video)Plugins are not working / are not found
  
  Code:

  ERROR <general>: Control 55 in window 10025 has been asked to focus, but it can't
ERROR <general>: GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://plugin.video.nhklive/
ERROR <general>: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(plugin://plugin.video.nhklive/) failed


I hope that the move to Kodi 20 Alpha, does not bring a lot new bugs and make the build more or less unusable ...

Will upload some logs on the 450p and Portrait-mode issue, when I find some more time to test

Thanks

Resolution re-scaling/zooming/tonemapping aren't implemented yet. For HW acceleration, I had to build new shader, which is very simple at this point. Once I solve issue with video seeking, will add missing things to the shader. Hope, it would solve most of the problems with non standard resolutions. Sorry guys, it is taking me a while to get all of that fixed, as I do it only in my spare time.

No problem and take your time!
Do you have any idea why my (Video-)Plugins are not working?

I actually don't, but for what I know, Kodi team have done a lot of changes in plugin infrastructure, so some plugins from Leia not working in Matrix release. My current build hardly depends on Matrix changes and unfotunately can't be ported back to Leia.

Try to run them and see if there is any issues logged in kodi.log.

They have been working with the previous release, but not with the new build (Kodi 20 alpha)

Code:

Hmm.. Probably something changed in API. I'll rebase my code back on Kodi 19 release and keep snapshot version separately

Quick update on my 'video-addons not working' - issue
I have been 'reusing' my .kodi-folder.
After un-installing, deleting settings, and re-installing the add-ons they are working.

@hashtag : Thanks for updating the built - highly appreciated!

Besides the issues that 'portrait-videos' are played in 'landscape', and some low-resolution videos not playing  - which I consider minor,
the main problem is strong artefacts / flickering with H264 and H265 videos

Any status update on aliubimov or someone else submitting the needed changes for Nvidia Tegra suppport as a pull request to upstream?

https://github.com/aliubimov/xbmc/commit...ra-support

That is, as a patch for supporting NVDEC on Jetson Nano to mainstream Kodi / xbmc core?

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/

[RockerC]

FYI, LibreELEC developers mentioned that any Tegra implementation would need GBM (Generic Buffer Management) support for them to support it:

https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/17950-...-progress/

LibreELEC plan is to not support X11 much longer so guess means need GBM to use Weston compositor and use kodi-wayland instead of kodi-x11?

Yes, I am currently working on better port, that will support GBM.

This is known issue. I hope to get it fix in next patch.

Great! When can we expect the next patch?

Thank you  for the updated version - highly appreciated!

Too bad, on my Jetson Nano I do not see any improvements compared to the earlier version.
I still have is strong artefacts / flickering with H264 and H265 videos, and  'portrait-videos' are played in 'landscape'.

Maybe I did something wrong ...
Are there any changes to the compilation?

I've pushed fix for artifacts and flickering. Docker container updated respectively. 
Please check it out.

Changes for aspect ratio would require some work on Kodi side. I'll spent some time to check if I can do it quick. Otherwise, better wait for FFMPEG version of NV4L driver.

I am working mostly on porting decoding to FFMPEG, which would enable all the features Kodi have, without needed of extra decoder.

Thanks for the update!
I saw you have rebased Kodi to V19.1.

Too bad the artifacts when playing H264 and H265 movies seem unchanged.
