Will try that later. It seems for kodi also a recent ffmpeg is needed, commit from 10 days ago: http://forum.solid-run.com/viewtopic.php?t=363&p=22466#p22466 Since ffmpeg 3.3.4 in sid and buster, we need to wait for a new release here as well. But getting X up and running would be a worthwhile intermediate goal :-) Rainer -- Rainer Dorsch http://bokomoko.de/
