Kodi ARMv7 + NEON compilation

[CurlyMo]

A lot of discussion is going around whether packages build for the Raspberry Pi 1 don't use the full potential of the Raspberry Pi 2. There is only one way to find out and that's trying ourselves.

We've compiled a Kodi version that is fully build for the ARMv7 SoC and with Neon acceleration enabled. Please give it some hardcore testing and compare it with the currently default Kodi build:

Code:

# sudo su
# wget http://download.xbian.org/testing/xbian-package-xbmc14.2~BETA1-1423712574.deb
# dpkg -i xbian-package-xbmc14.2~BETA1-1423712574.deb

Downgrade back to the default:

Code:

# sudo apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc=14.1-1423177674

We're especially interested in software video and audo decoding.
