MX 17 Repository: The Kodi Thread

[stsoh]

ok, thank you all.

[nathan2423]

For what it's worth, on my updated MX17 today I installed Kodi from the main part (popular programs) of the MXPI. It installed fine and played audio, but no audio or picture in playing video.

I then went to the TEST section and reinstalled kodi. Now it works fine. Noticed that it installed a file with the name "wild" at the end (sorry I don't remember the full name). Not sure if that was the difference or not, but in case someone else runs into this and checks here I wanted to report my experience.

[stsoh]

upgrade lib files from mxpi testrepo removes kodi.
these upgrades are not right, after upgraded unable to install kodi again.
can this issue be corrected?

I can't reproduce that here.

Can you let the upgrades in main complete and remove those packages, then reinstall tumbler-plugins-extra and then Kodi from the test repo?

[stsoh]

tried a few times, same thing happen on my set. if i upgrade those ffmpeg lib files, automatically delete kodi, kodi-bin and kodi-data. after which can't install kodi due to dependencies, even i did download all those dependence debs and install them unsuccessful.

OK, I can reproduce that in Virtual Box. Do you really need to upgrade those particular libav libraries from the test repo? If you just want a newer ffmpeg, we have 4.0.2 in the test repo that'll pull in different libraries, such as libavcodec 58, and not remove Kodi.

Or I could just rebuild Kodi against the ffmpeg 4.0.2 libraries to fix that issue.

[stsoh]

already upgraded ffmpeg, it's good to have.
