[Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye)] arm | Kodi missing inputstream.ffmpegdirect

[ReWiG]

Is there any inputstream.ffmpegdirect addon for Linux version? I am using a freshly installed version of Kodi 19.3 from the official Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye repository. In the app store, I just don't have the inputstream.ffmpegdirect extension, although it is a dependency for the InputStream Adaptive and without it, I keep getting an error when starting the broadcast. uname -a Linux kodi 5.10.83-v7l+ #1499 SMP Tue Dec 7 14:08:09 GMT 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux

That is up to whomever maintains your package repository. Linux repos are not maintained by team-kodi outside of a Ubuntu PPA.

But this is a Kodi add-on repository, not an operating system repository. I would happily compile this add-on myself, but it doesn't work for me, I follow the instructions in the README, but I get the following error:

Yes, the addon repo you speak of is not managed by team kodi. But as far as I’m aware this is all in the Debian OS repo.

@basilgello should be able to advise.

[ReWiG]

What can you advise about the build error?

[phunkyfish]

If you are on Linux you should not be building any libraries as far as I’m aware. Debian should skip that part of the build.

@basilgello will know as he maintains the kodi packages in Debian.

[basilgello]

@ReWiG You can install pkgconfig but it is honestly interesting to see apt policy kodi kodi-inputstream-ffmpegdirect first.

[ReWiG]

apt policy kodi kodi-inputstream-ffmpegdirect

Of course there he is

sudo apt policy kodi kodi-inputstream-ffmpegdirect

You can install pkgconfig

If you are talking about the "pkg-config" package, then I already have it installed (0.29.2-1)

[basilgello]

@ReWiG You can go past this error if your build path has no spaces: Исходники и deb.

However, I'd raise the big on Raspberry OS forums, because Raspberry OS is not a vanilla Debian.

Thanks, it helped me and I was able to compile the extension for myself. It's a shame that it is not possible to add it to the add-ons repository, I created a thread on the Raspberry forum, but I strongly doubt that anyone will do it there. Apparently, Raspberry Pi users will have to endure errors when watching IPTV in the IPTV simple client add-on. Well, if nothing else can be done, then you can close this topic.

[robiwano]

I'm just building it myself. @ReWiG you never managed to install it ? Have you tried make install after building? (I haven't tried it yet)

[basilgello]

Proper installation is to install the resulting ZIP file, not make install-ing every add-on.

[basilgello]

I think the only way is to reach Raspberry OS maintainer, whose,email I am trying to find now. Actually, nothing is required from them apart from a no-chande build.

[basilgello]

@spl237 maybe you can help with this issue?

[robiwano]

Through the Kodi interface, right?

Correct! https://kodi.wiki/view/Archive:Install_add-ons_from_zip_files

[robiwano]

Ok, in the .../xbmc/build/addons folder I had to zip up the inputstream.ffmpegdirect folder like so: > cd /home/pi/src/xbmc/build/addons > zip -r inputstream.ffmpegdirect.zip inputstream.ffmpegdirect/*

Then the installation worked fine!

[basilgello]

zip -r inputstream.ffmpegdirect.zip inputstream.ffmpegdirect/*

I use zip -r inputstream.ffmpegdirect.zip --symlinks inputstream.ffmpegdirect/*

[lrusak]

On Linux you don't need to use the zip. you can just copy the directory to the installation location or use make install

[robiwano]

Tried make install but there is no install target.

Hi, i successfuly build inputstream.ffmpegdirect to my rpi4 bullseye os. I copy the build folder to /usr/share/kodi/addons and kodi 19.3 detect the addon. It demand to activate, i choose yes. But unfortunatly, after click yes, kodi say that this version is not compatible. So, is it supposed to work? Inputstreamm.ffmpegdirect seem to be at version 19.1 and kodi at version 19.3... is it problematic?

Thank you for your support!

[phunkyfish]

There is no 19.1 of ffmpegdirect for Matrix.

What is the latest commit of the repo you cloned?

[boucchar]

Sorry, not 19.1 i mean 19.0.1. I follow the build instruction provided by you on Github. So, i clone with : git clone --branch Matrix https://github.com/xbmc/inputstream.ffmpegdirect.git

[phunkyfish]

Can you provide a listing of the folder you copied to addons?

Also a debug log would be useful.

Finally, i restart from a clean install of rpios bullseye (rpi4), sudo apt update + upgrade, clean kodi 19.3, remake the build process of inputstream.ffmpegdirect and it work! Maybe i made something wrong in my first attempt, idon't know... but currently it work like a charm. For infos, i need inputstream.ffmpegdirect as a dependency for kodi-pvr-nextpvr. Thank you for your work and your support.

No problem, glad you got it working. Hopefully the package repo maintainer can include it soon so others don't need to do this to get things working.

Hi, is-it possible to host a zipped version of your build to share it with me. I tried to compile it on mine but it failed. I don't want to make a fresh install because all my stuff is already on it ^^"

Thanks for sharing your work https://os5.mycloud.com/action/share/cf55f05d-c7ab-4f28-af58-3a012ec3d95d I too tried compiling it and it failed.
