Hi, I bought 5 units of minix X7 mini, and have been trying to make it work correctly with SPMC (isengard final) + TVHeadend HTSP Client v2.18 + rklibstagefright hardware acceleration, but I can't get any video on Live TV content (only audio works).

If I play a video from PleXBMC (for example) with rklibstagefright turned on it works correctly, also if I turn rklibstagefright off and play a LiveTV/TVHeadend channel it works, but video becomes crappy since the only available deinterlace methods are BOB / BOB - INVERTED, while "Software Blend" is the best and only available if I disable all hardware acceleration or use rklibstagefright.

But disabling all hardware acceleration makes playing movies (eg. PlexBMC) unusable switching on and off is not user friendly.

I've already tried the official firmware 011, community firmware 240 and wasser firmware 1.0.4.

I've also edited the build.prop on all of the above firmwares to include:
video.use.overlay=1
sys.ui.fakesize=1920x1080

None of them worked, I simply can't make TVHeadend HTSP Client work correctly with rklibstagefright

I would really appreciate if someone could help me make this work correctly, as only SPMC offers rklibstagefright and I'm sure there must be a way to make this work, I can provide credentials for my TVHeadend server for testing purposes.

Thanks in advance.

This sounds more like an issue with your hardware/config rather than Tvheadend/Its add-on, have you tried posting on the Kodi forums? Maybe post a Kodi log? You could also try sending a message to negge on #hts as I believe he has some involvement in the hts add-on for kodi.

I thought the addon was made by the tvheadend team, my bad, I'll try harder on kodi's forum (already posted there).

Anyway, the problem only appears with the tvh addon, other add ons work well.

Thanks, Cassio

Have the same issue - kodi crash... The problem only appear on android player with rockchip hardware, when hardware acceleration enable (i try spmc too, but in spmc with hardware acceleration enable, ony sound played without video) and using htsp protocol .. If i play streams with simple iptv pvr addon (pass profile) everything working ok.. If i disable hardware acceleration (no difference rlibstagefright or any other codec used) everything is ok exept slo mo on tv :). Tvh 4.0.7 on debian x64. May be any solutions found? i try search kodi/other forums and no ideas at all, only advice "do not use hardware accelerations or tvh as backend :("..

Well I gave up no rk devices, buy those S805 MXQ (Amlogic) on aliexpress, those work well and cost about USD35
