doesn't appear to have errors.

currently compiling: ffmpeg 4.3.2

[graysky]

I have an older Intel chip that doesn't have HW decoding of HEVC.  On it, the failure looks like this for your reference.  Note that the command will just use the CPU without vaapi to do the math so look for the error.

No support for codec hevc profile 2.
Failed setup for format vaapi_vld: hwaccel initialisation returned error.

Have you tried building kodi-git and testing decoding there?  Note this will build from master so recommend that you backup your ~/.kodi before trying it.

[deadite66]

i did successfully build it a few weeks ago with the same problem, tried to compile this morning with:

[ 28%] Building CXX object build/filesystem/CMakeFiles/filesystem.dir/UPnPFile.cpp.o
[ 28%] Linking CXX static library filesystem.a
[ 28%] Built target filesystem
make: *** [Makefile:146: all] Error 2
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
[lee@plasma kodi-git]$

[graysky]

In which build target did you experience the failure, wayland, gbm, or x11?

[deadite66]

i just cloned https://aur.archlinux.org/kodi-git.git then ran makepkg -s

edit: same error with  yay -S kodi-git-gbm

[graysky]

i just cloned https://aur.archlinux.org/kodi-git.git then ran makepkg -s

Right, but just like the official PKGBUILD, this will build all three targets, gbm, wayland, and x11.  I am asking which one fails for you.

Code:

...
  echo "building kodi-wayland"
  cmake "${_args[@]}" -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=wayland ../"$_gitname"
  make

  echo "building kodi-gbm"
  cmake "${_args[@]}" -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=gbm ../"$_gitname"
  make

  # build x11 version last that will make it fallback in the launcher script
  echo "building kodi-x11"
  cmake "${_args[@]}" -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=x11 ../"$_gitname"
  make

[deadite66]

both yay -S kodi-git-gbm and yay -S kodi-git-x11 same error.

[graysky]

both yay -S kodi-git-gbm and yay -S kodi-git-x11 same error.

AUR helpers like yay cause more problems than they solve.  Use makepkg.  I just built kodi-git without errors.  You can d/l from here if you don't want to build on your own: http://repo-ck.com/x86_64/kodi-git/

[deadite66]

thanks will install later.

[deadite66]

nothing changed, still black screen.

installed kodi-git-gbm launched via kodi-standalone-service

[graysky]

Since you showed that ffmpeg 4.3.2 and 4.4 both worked, I believe the issue is with Kodi code.  Building the latest git did not help.  This is you, right?  Not sure why it was closed.

[deadite66]

nope, wasn't my github issue, yes was disappointing it was closed.

[graysky]

You might want to comment summarizing the findings of what you tried here and ask for a reopen questioning whether or not there is something in the Kodi code base that needs to be tweaked.
