Kodi has a sophisticated library management system that allows you to
organize all your media to give you quick and immediate access.
-Optional dependencies: libcec, libnfs, lirc, cwiid, pybluez, avahi,
- shairplay, and openjdk
-
-Optional: libcrystalhd (not available at slackbuilds.org)
-
-Below are some paramaters that can be passed to the slackbuild to turn
-on some optional components.
-
-WII=yes|no (Default is no), requires cwiid and pybluez
-WEBSERVER=yes|no (Default is yes), requires libmicrohttpd
+Optional autodetected dependencies:
+avahi - Network discovery
+cwiid - Controller support
+dav1d - AV1 codec support
+libcec - CEC support
+libmicrohttpd - Web interface support
+libnfs - Browse NFS shares
+lirc - Remote support
+shairplay - Airplay Support
+waylandpp - Early wayland support
NOTE:
-Kodi can be compiled with openjdk instead of jdk.
+Kodi can be compiled with jdk11 instead of zulu-openjdk11.
-Please remove or rename /etc/oss.conf if it exists on your system
-prior to building this package or it will fail to build.
+ADDITIONAL NOTE:
+If you are having issues with addons crashing, please ensure you're
+upgraded to at least python3-3.9.14 or later from the patches/
+directory on your favorite mirror. 3.9.12 and earlier had issues.
-Using the system ffmpeg in the Kodi slackbuild is currently not
-supported. The option to build Kodi with system ffmpeg is still
-available in the slackbuild but it won't be supported by the
-maintainer.
+FINAL NOTE:
+If you are running into issues with playing certain formats that should
+be supported due to optional dependencies (I had issues with AV1
+content even with dav1d installed until I rebuilt ffmpeg), you may need
+to rebuild Slackware's ffmpeg to add that support or use Kodi's
+internal version by passing FFMPEG=internal to the SlackBuild script
+(this will cause the kodi build system to require internet access so
+root can download ffmpeg).
