I would like to know if Kodi 19 with hw acceleration in a x11 session would be possible. I explain myself :
Until recently i used Raspberry OS with Pixel as DE (with a rpi 4). I installed Kodi on it, the last version is 18.7. I do have hw acceleration for h264 and h265 content, no problem.
Now, i recently tried other distro : Manjaro ARM and a vanilla Arch ARM with mainline kernel, both with xfce DE. Then i installed Kodi 19 on it, from Arch ARM repository.
Well, what i have is :
- When i run Kodi 19 inside a x11 session, i do not have hw acceleration.
- When i run Kodi 19 outside a x11 session, in a tty session, i have hw acceleration with DRM Prime, and i have more options within Kodi (in Player section).
I surely do not understand everything. But, basically, i would like to know how it would be possible to have hw acceleration with Kodi 19 as i had in Raspberry OS in a x11 session. The main difference is that rpi OS is 32 bits, uses MMAL and it was Kodi 18.7
Did i miss something or is there any technical limitation now with Kodi 19 ?
Thanks in advance
