Openelec Build for OPI PC and 2 now with HW decoding

There is no HW support fot 10 bit files, period. If you are using latest image, then it should SW decode it. If not, then it is a bug.

I am using the latest image. I guess SW decoding isn't working properly. No video, just blank screen.

Here it is latest experimental update (available for 14 days):

Please test:
- Reverted and fixed 8188eu driver
- added boot logo
- CEC driver is taken from pine64 android 7.0 source (author: ayufan). It should be improved upon previously available driver. But because I don't have CEC capable device at hand, please test it as best as you can. Please also test if CEC caused system lockup before.

Probably I don't have to repeat - CEC is most important thing to test.

Unfortunately my 9 year old Samsung TV not recognize CEC at all.
Tested with latest the experimental on Pi PC and Pi ONE.

Ok, thanks for testing. I will check if anything obvious is missing.

Does anybody know if I buy HDMI ARC adapter, will I be able to use some sort of CEC?

Here is another test update for CEC:

Please test both and report. Without reports, I can't make any decisions.

The CEC starts well, but then stops working. With the stable version I do not appreciate this problem. I'll try the new update

Edit: With the new update exactly the same thing happens.

How long logo is displayed depends on how quick your display switches to HDMI input. It is destroyed because this kernel never meant to be working with such driver. I will take a look if this can be fixed quickly.

So nothing really new about CEC, except that now it is even worse. I reverted the driver and I will leave it as-is till someone tries to fix it.

is it my monitor or the opipc-openelec-kodi that causes random flickers on screen while the black screensaver is on?

has anyone else experienced this?
