Description Jeremy Banks 2017-03-19 22:20:49 CET

The last successful build of kodi on armv7hl for F25 was 17.0-0.5. After that it looks like 17.0-0.6 failed, and on builds after that, arm7hl was removed from the build architectures. Is there any plan to bring the amv7hl builds back? I'm trying to use 17.0-0.5 but I'm seeing high CPU usage that I hope is resolved in later builds, especially the stable 17.0 release.

17.0-0.5: http://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1894
17.0-0.6: http://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2119
17.0-1 (current): http://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=3082

I sent out a notice about this back on November 1, 2016.

You're getting software rendering. You're welcome to open a discussion with upstream on properly supporting GLES instead of what they do today. I don't have the time nor the hardware to start the discussion myself.

Would a GBM-based GLES driver be sufficiently generic? There's a pull request being actively worked on that's been tested on RPI and x86_64, hopefully this will make it into master and then a future release.  Looks like this could also pave the way for eventual GLES-on-Wayland support.

Yes, that looks very promising. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'll add it to our ARM bug 4323.
