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

Post by 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]

Philippe.

Hi,

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.

Philippe.

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.

Hi Damien,

Please find VLC client : https://forum.asustor.com/viewtopic.php?f=227&t=13766

Apologize for the delay ... I have some problem in my lab ... and VLC work great but have a constraint when running under Asportal (see the post announcing VLC)

I continue working on Plex Media Player but ... I don't obtain good result at this time ...so using Kodi addons (official or alternative) is today the best solution.

Regards.
Philippe.

Hi Philippe,
have you had time working on it?
thanks for your incredible work
I am in travel from 3 weeks ... and due to a hands on error, I have locked my dev. NAS (rejecting all IP rules) ... it run but it is totally inaccessible ... and I am at 600 km of the power button ... and don't manage to schedule restart (it run 24/24 7/7)
I will go back in my lab ... Sunday ...

The last status :
... plex players (HTC and Player) require to have snap (so not possible) or flatpak ... perhaps
... I have work to workaround flatpak install ... and result seems to be ok (install only) but this can't be considered as running, before I solve other problems with Xorg ...
... and my NAS was locked

So, yes I will continue, but it's very complex and A.D.M. is a constraint in this specific case.

The Web player stay the solution at this time, using Chrome (best for video acceleration management) or usign Firefox, but require some hack to get the best experience.

Sorry for the delay, I will manage to have remote controlled power delivery to be able to rebbot (power off / on) my NAS in the future.

Philippe.
