Thanks for your suggestion, but I am really looking for a decent (and recent...) version of KODI on ...

If you do "readelf -d libvrender.so", you will get following output:

which clearly suggest that this library is android only. It depends on libandroid_runtime.so among others.

If you do "readelf -d libvrender.so", you will get following output:

You are right.
I made the wrong assumption that it coul be as simple as changing the libvdecoder.so version to the linux one, taking it from H3 SDK.
Reading better the forum post I realized that libvrender.so is a different lib that was created by Ziddo team and it is specific for Android, as you remarked.
libvrender.so is not open sourced yet

Care to test my CedarX enabled OpenELEC version? Far from optimal (GPU rendering), but it is a start. Take a look at OpenELEC subforum here. No prebuild images ATM.

I am using OPI-PC and OPI-Plus2. Can you make a image for testing?

Orange Pi 2 image is here:
EDIT: Please check OpenELEC subforum for latest build. There were some problems with H265.

Anything else will be hopefully build later today. I think you can use this image at least on PC version, only problem will be that only one USB port will work.

For fixing green stripes and green bar issue, please check this link below. Works pretty well.

Hi @fritz,

I have followed your instructions with the latest libvdpau on my Lubuntu 14.04.3 but i get purple screen (the violet color is actually purple) with possibly the tiles being displayed at the wrong position or geometry.
vdpauinfo is OK, except for the display id on the 1920x1080:

Can you spot what is missing here?
I tried to install your mpv and jacer mpv, but it broke my dependencies, mplayer is still old i think.

Any suggestion?

here is the output:

@lex
Is this MPlayer2 you are using selfcompiled?
wich dependencies you broke?
I have compiled mpv-package on a lubuntu 14.04 and it shoud install on your Lubuntu 14.04.3
Try to install mpv14.0, i have it builded after upgrading lubuntu.
On my shared folder there is a compiled mplayer (binary) maybe it works for you, but i would suggest to use mpv.
