Hi everyone,

I have an LG 43NANO763QA, rooted, Home Assistant integrated with Kodi version 20.90.821.
Kodi was installed through Homebrew app.

With the help of Home Assistant and the webos integration, I can automatically start Kodi and play random content (for the kids) on it.

I have a problem however with Kodi UI after the first start. Kodi does not show progress bar, any menu elements, and does not react to remote buttons (left/right or back).

I mean, TV was freshly turned on (via Wake up On Lan), then with the help of the 'media_player' Home Assistant service I start Kodi.

example:

Code:

service: media_player.select_source
target:
entity_id:
- media_player.lg_joci
device_id: []
area_id: []
data:
source: Kodi

I think the rest of the steps are irrelevant.
A playlist generated on a remote node gets uploaded through ssh to the playlist folder. Via another media_player.play_media call I instruct Kodi to play the given playlist.

I could reproduce the problem without starting the playlist, just by starting Kodi.
When Kodi was not the first app started after TV turn on, the problem did not appear. (I had progress menu bar, and app responded to remote buttons).
It did not help if I automatically started another application before Kodi. Some human interaction was required for Kodi to fully work.

I could also observe, that 'Movies' (top element on left bar) was highlighted with blue, when I started Kodi at first, through HA.
This was not the case, when it was started via remote, from LG Homescreen. No menu element was preselected.

I am not convinced that this is a Kodi issue, but lets face it, I cannot go to LG to help me with the rooted TV

a Debug Log might have some clues

Hi,
what CPU and memory load does your TV have after you have started Kodi? Your LG 43NANO763QA may not have enough resources to run Kodi properly. You can find out in Terminal with the command: top
It is also possible that there is simply not enough flash memory available.
In this case, it is possible to delete superfluous demos from the flash. These can be found under /media/preload/storedemo/.

Hello!
I wish to recompile KODI for webOS for ARM Cortex A55 (ARMv8).
I seem anyway to have trouble even doing the normal compile.

Following this guide https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...E.webOS.md
I did:

bash:
mkdir $HOME/kodi-dev

cd $HOME/kodi-dev

wget https://github.com/openlgtv/buildroot-nc...oot.tar.gz

tar xfz arm-webos-linux-gnueabi_sdk-buildroot.tar.gz -C $HOME/kodi-dev

git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc kodi

cd $HOME/kodi/tools/depends

./bootstrap

./configure --prefix=$HOME/kodi-deps --host=arm-webos-linux-gnueabi --with-toolchain=$HOME/kodi-dev/arm-webos-linux-gnueabi_sdk-buildroot --enable-debug=no

Then I do "make".
But I get:
-- Could NOT find CURL (missing: CURL_LIBRARY CURL_INCLUDE_DIR)
CMake Error at Source/Modules/CMakeBuildUtilities.cmake:145 (message):
CMAKE_USE_SYSTEM_CURL is ON but a curl is not found!
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:416 (include)

Obvisouly curl is present on the building system.

@Zibri See this reply by @sundermann and report back.

nevermind.. solved it...
I was missing this:

Code:

sudo apt-get install curl
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev

Hey guys,

I'm trying Kodi on my rooted LG WebOS 0.6.3 TV and I've tried the latest nightly build and the two beta releases currently available for download but all those three builds fail to start with the error:

Code:

./kodi-webos: error while loading shared libraries: libdrm.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The file libdrm.so.2 does exist in /media/developer/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.xbmc.kodi/kodi-webos/lib (or rather, it's a soft link to libdrm.so.2.4.0) so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Do you guys have any idea?

[michael.d.h.yd.e.8]

I've been having the exact same issue exact issue with Jarige with the latest kodi IPK versions. I tried with an older kodi IPK working but there I observed operational issues such as no input interaction.

Can anyone tell me if Kodi will get an official release on the LG webos store in the future as well? Really awesome that this works on webos as well now!

That is the goal, yes.

[Dr_Brooks]

Awesome! I'm currently testing and I'm having some issues with audio latency. I enabled the passthrough in settings, but in both audio modes it has a slight but noticeable latency. Is this a known issue?

Running Kodi 20.90.821 on a C2 with WebOS 7.3.1 and Jellyfin 10.8.13.

[Dr_Brooks]

Anyone know where I can find a 20.2 ipk build for webos? I can only find the 21.0 beta builds on the mirror but those don't work with the PlexKodiConnect addon. It keeps giving a popup saying it's not compatible with 21.0.

There is no version of Kodi 20 for webOS, but I think the latest beta of PlexKodiConnect from this repo should work with Kodi 21.

Yeah, I have the same issue. LG C1. It’s working great but this audio out of sync for every video is killing me. Worst is even if I set delay to 250ms for all videos it works for a while but then it will get out of sync again.

Do you have same issue or were you able to find a fix for it ? Would be great if developers can look into this issue.
