[Kodi 18.0] AS5202T/AS5304T package to support 4K 10bits videos

[Patrick]

Hi,

ASUSTOR announce new models AS5202T and AS5304T and ADM 3.4 with kernel 4.14.
Equipped with intel CPU HW decode capability, I try to package kodi 18.0 to support 4K HEVC 10bits(HDR) videos playback.

Finally, kodi 18.0 package is ready for installing and testing.
After installing kodi 18.0, 4K HVEC 10 bits videos can playback well in AS5202T / AS5304T which cannot playback well in kodi 17.6.
P.S: DTS and AC3 can work in this package.

I don't have many 4K HEVC 10bits videos for testing, I cannot sure if this package can fulfill all your requirement or not.
Have a try if you have AS5202T/AS5304T.

The version can only work well for AS5202T/AS5304T, since intel CPU in other models may not have 4K HEVC 10bits HW decode capability.

I just keep to porting kodi 18.3 in case there may have some improvement from kodi team.

Note: The integration with ASUSTOR Remote controller and AiRemote App is related to ASUSTOR Portal.
I've contacted with ASUSTOR to get support for this, and thanks ASUSTOR to add kodi 18 support in ASUSTOR Portal.
The updated version of ASUSTOR Portal (2.2.4.r1216) is available on App Central.
Please update it to get ASUSTOR Remote controller and AiRemote App support in Kodi 18.

Your model is similar with mine (AS-304T) which is not supported.

Thank you for your feedback orion. I think Asustor ADM software is not supporting anymore Kodi netflix plex etc... in any type of Asustor NAS.
Do you think that MyHD solution from forum member father might be the solution?

If you are looking for 4k solution, no, I believe it's a hardware limitation. After all, our model was launched earlier than 4k spec. You should check newer model. (Actually I'm still using the old application, XBMC )

Orion,
Thank you for your response.Do you think that I can find apk's like Kodi, plex, netflix for my Nas server (32 Bit )? Or I have to put my NAS server in the garbage?

Can I assume that this version will work with my AS7004T? See specs below.
Also will this overwrite the existing Kodi v17.6 or install separately?

I don't think so. The only way I know is to get KODI source code, and compile it for this NAS. But it's rather difficult (or I should say very much). What don't you use XBMC?

[husosultan]

Can I use xbmc? I don't see any app? if exist where can i download this? By the way, is there app for plex as well?

I guess that you did not install it or removed it before. I just checked AppCentral and cannot find it. I guess you can only check with asustor support to know where to get the package.
No, I did not try plex player before. Under 3rd-party group in this forum, there are myHD and OpenPlexHome Theater. However it's 64-bit version. You can check with developer to see if he can build a 32-bit version.
