Description lipkegu 2016-06-17 16:54:33 UTC
The Package Kodi is broken on Raspberry PI
"br-kodi" loops and the binarys are crashing with "illegal intruction"
Comment 1 Thomas Petazzoni 2016-07-24 20:46:59 UTC
Can you try to build with BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_PY_PYC=y instead of BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_PYC_ONLY=y and see if it makes a difference?

Please provide more infos about the crash, as a hint for required logs read
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Submit_a_bug_report#Right.2C_so_what_information_do_you_guys_need.3F

Please also read http://kodi.wiki/view/Raspberry_Pi_FAQ#Raspberry_Pi_known_issues

Buildroot contains some patches for Kodi 16.1 but there maybe more patches needed
to support raspberry pi. Since I do not own such a box I can not test it myself,
the machine where I run Kodi on has in Intel CPU, its GPU is used for hardware
decoding using vaapi.

To get a hint about what might be needed for the raspberry pi have a look at
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=231092

or try my Kodi 17 branch: https://github.com/bkuhls/buildroot/tree/kodi17

(In reply to Thomas Petazzoni from comment #3)

As i Open the Issue (a few days later i checked buildroot out again and it was fixed by a few patches related to Mips.

The Problem was the Python "PYC" stuff i enabled it and it worked like a charm.
In the Phase of the Crash there is no kodi.log because GDB was missing so it doesnt gave me any related infos.

I can watch Movies, Music and see Pictures.
