I am trying to figure out what it takes to build the media box kernel from sources. tches/kodiĪre the patches you are talking about for XU3/4 here?. I see somebody imported a few of your patches on their distro here. I wish there was somewhere a wiki with a table explaining the current progress (and whether the support of a feature is mainline or not).Įncoding is not important for my use case. I think after HEVC and VP9 are done, work will probably/hopefully start on encoding.īut yeah if you need encoding there is no exact ETA for C2, but already working on XU3/4. you can install linux in chroot there too (and run all the linux software you want, since it's a linux kernel - that includes samba too), and i prefer it as a media center (no keyboard, mouse, just the TV remote), especially since he integrated live channels (channels from tv antenna connected to tuner: )įrom posts above seems like I should consider either the C2 or XU4/XU4Q.Ĭ2 encode work will start probably after decoder is finished.Ĭurrently I've seen patches for H265 support (not mainlined yet), and also some WiP patches for VP9 support. and you have netflix running in HD too: īut everyone is waiting for me to release a version that is easier to install, so I thought of recommending you voodik's android tv, which works extremely well on the xu4.

and you have youtube working also with gnome videos: and you have mpv running nicely (instead of vlc): (including with youtube HD links)

Well, i could have told you about my own image for XU4
