Hacking Kodi on the Switch

[evanm18]

theoretically speaking someone who writes homebrew code should be able to get the ARM version of Kodi or terrarium(dot)tv to run natively eventually? because the switch runs on ARM?

yes ofc but we would still need gpu

Thinking aloud here. Would a port of openELEC be better.

openELEC is a just enough of an operating system KODI

Lakka uses the same principle. A version of RetroArch.

still need proper GPU drivers for native support.

Once they get audio working, and support for the Plex plug-in then I will look into using it.

 

[TAUSENN]

WTF? What are you trying to do with a condome and a switch?

Nevermind... I don't want to know...

HD RUMBLE

Because it doubles the effort. Not in coding (Watch this youtube video, of me launching a program I installed in linux), but in support.

I'm very much looking forward to a doubled effort in support.

(Thats the ecosystem play - you see SciresM say that they are working on hopefully designing an ecosystem - then you see three rando-coders running in waving their hands with untested halfbaked ports to launch HBL, and a video of someone installing a program on linux. Then ten people say its an amazing development, and then nothing happens - because thats the likely extent of where this will go. Unless it isn't. )

I'll take rando-coders over "ecosystems" trying to ploy people into only one solution. Homebrew is cool but I think the ability to choose between HOS and Linux or whatever else comes later is great and I'm personally staking my claims on Linux after one of my units got banned, way safer here and I'm not personally a fan of dodging bans or whatever, too much of an uphill battle. Though I personally hope Hekate/others win over Atmosphere wins out in the end in the HOS space.

Yes, but.

I'm arguing from a standpoint, where people find it difficult to comprehend one solution, and a second one doesnt help.

I you are contemplating a "healthy competition" - the one based on the switch os always wins based on "ease of use", and other criteria such as - quick boot into actual switch games.

In a perfect world - where a linux based OS could become the "daily driver" for most people - I'm on your side - but in practice it never turns out this way..

Maybe I'm too pesimistic..

Maybe I'm too pesimistic..

Not to be a negative nancy or follow suit but based on most of the posts i've seen you make i'd say this is spot on.

 

[notimp]

On the contrary, but nice flaming.

Being "positive" isn't even a character trait.

Being "possibly too pesimistic" in an assessment, is a way to indicate - that you acknowledge the margin of error.

Which is small btw. Because most Linux forks still die in a fire - and dont get mass adoption - not even mentioning - porting it to a touch first device. That would then have you shut down the device to boot into another OS to play native games.

On a similarly personal note - you read self help books ("be positive!") dont you? Or maybe that lifestyle is now marketed through youtubers? I'm not privy to the recent developments in the "entirely esoteric" fields.

Is the Audio chip missing a driver or something, because even LAKKA doesn't have audio support.

Hey not flaming, just recently noticed how you normally deal with things on these forums and how you respond to people. You can be quite condemning towards others. Maybe that's just who you are though, who am I to judge, I'm doing the same thing

edit: words

 

[oldmumak]

But will it play Home Improvement and Fresh Prince?

 

[olixus]

interesting

 

[hipmp5]

Even if i use a external compatible with switch usb sound card i can't get audio on linux?

 

[Erol]

Very cool.

Thank you Kanye
