Only the KodiNerds builds from Maven, not the regular Kodi v20 nightlies.

But can the final v20 work fine on that?

Thanks for this, seems to be working fine. Is there by any chance version 19.3 with DV support? (a part from Maven - Kodi Nerds builds I mean)?
Thanks

Seems there's no chance of DV support coming to offical v20 as it would require ffmpeg v5, however ffmpeg v5 is a very big change from ffmpeg v4 (which we currently use) and would required a lot of reworks to be done in Kodi, so the decision appears to have been taken that we need to stick with ffmpeg v4 for Kodi v20 then work to update ffmpeg in Kodi v21.

Having Kodi .mkv support with DV would be sick! Smile

64-bit versions: https://repo.kodinerds.net/index.php?act...arm64-v8a)

32-bit versions: https://repo.kodinerds.net/index.php?act...meabi-v7a)

And no, there is no such thing as a v20 stable build yet.

Also, the Matrix versions are based on 19.4, but also nightlies, i.e. there could be issues with them (although they are usually very stable).

Like MatteN said, for the Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 you need the 64-bit build.

You can choose if you want to run Nexus or Matrix. You can also run them side by side since they have different package names. That way you can test which one you like more / is the most stable for you.

I'm running Kodi 20 prerelease vesrion on my Sony XH90 and works fine. DV options nicely popups on TV. A great addition to 18.9. Reason i update to V20.
Only now I have a problem with V20 that it now only plays the 1st video file from my upnp server (mediamonkey) correctly. If I want to play another file, I have to close Kodi and open it again.

This is definitely really disappointing news, I was really hoping for ffmpeg v5 support in Kodi 20. Guess I will have to stick with Kodinerds for a really long time. Sad

I just tried the latest Maven build and is still showed the wrong colours on the DV file I have. No different from stock KODI.
