RE: XBian_2021.02.19_rpi4 Playback Netflix crash
I have taken on the matter this weekend.
In fact Kodi does a reboot on Pi4 when the Netflix stream is started The reason is that unlike mainstream Kodi, I left the MMAL renderer in to support the Raspberry Pi 1 at least for Kodi v19. For some reason the MMAL renderer is used for the Netflix stream, which in turn crashes Kodi. I am currently testing a fix to completely disable the initialization of the MMAL. This brings the hoped for success, all Netflix streams tested by me up to 1080p are again played flawlessly. Please note: MMAL is (de)activated in Setting->Player and after MMAL is de- or activated, Kodi must be restarted. The disadvantage is that MPEG videos are then decoded by software, but that happens with all Netflix streams anyway. Tomorrow there will probably be the new Kodi version |
