[kodi v20] available after INTERNAL update of myHD APKG (Ubuntu engine)

[father.mande]

Hi,

F.Y.I. Kodi is upgraded to 20.0+git20230115 (Ubuntu version)
A.D.M. up to 4.2.x

SO don't forgot to update myHD (myHD apt_upgrade_package) to upgrade.

After upgrade, Open Kodi as usual ... migration start, eventually some add-ons (ex. RTMP Input) can be removed ..., NO change in your actual configuration.

MH-kodi19 MH-kodi-20 or MH-kodi (title of the icon) start same shell ... so you can used any of them.

Asportal :
... use ALSA (HDMI, Analog (if exist or through USB) and Digital SPDIF)

Idesk (replacement for Asportal)
... use ALSA (as for Asportal environement)
... use Pulseaudio ... with systray icon to select output and sound management.
The choice is done using default sound engine : myHD set_audio_engine [PULSE|ALSA]

Hi,

In complement ...
Plex have stopped (Oct. 2021) Plex Media Player (1.58) ... already compile by me for previous myHD version
seem this version always work but are not updated ...

PlexMediaPlayer is replaced by Plex Desktop for Linux and this application is only available as a snap or flathub not supported in the NAS
... same for HTC for Linux.

So it's a dead lock on NAS ... extracting snap is always possible but using it out of snap is not easy ... possible ...

So the way is to used Web Interface (even in myHD for supporting video acceleration) and with Idesk mode a more complete sound management.
Another way is to use Kodi addons for Plex (PM4K) ... this addons work well (up to Kodi 20) ... also some hack of the official KodiPlex addons exist to bypass some limitation (PlexMod credit to Panal on Github) ... plex forum also exist to get help.

I am not in my lab up to the 26 of Mars, after I will try to look if it's possible (I already extract snap ... but rebuild it out of snap is the problem ... good challenge for the fun) ...
For the moment using Kodi addons works as well and the old PlexMediaPlayer, for the moment, run also as well.
