Video memory issue on Raspberry Pi 4

queequegaz opened this issue · 4 comments

Fresh install of OSMC, and the steamlink-launcher appears to install without issue. When trying to run, a command line pops up that says: You are running with less than 128 MB video memory, you may need to go to the Raspberry Pi Configuration and increase your GPU memory. Press enter to continue:
There is no way to allocate memory to GPU in OSMC for the Pi 4 (my understanding is that GPU memory is dynamically allocated on the Pi 4, so the option is greyed out in the OSMC settings).

Is there a workaround for this that allows steam link to work on a Pi 4 with OSMC? (In Raspberry PI OS, you can still allocate memory to GPU in the settings, and Steam Link works on the Pi 4).

Kodi version is 19.3

Guess you didnt read the readme

Known issues:

if these fixes are out of date and its working report back on the tracker.

Doesnt matter about the video settings when the osmc kernel is broken, as for the videosettings if the bug ever gets fixed thats something you have to check on valves forums all my launcher does is launch steamlink, the rest is steamlink.

Apologies, I did read it but didn't realize this was the same/related issue. Thank you for getting back to me.

the bug in the readme crashes the kernel so it wont launch at all, been reporting on it but nothing is happening and the bug seems present in the rpi3 kernel also, the launcher works fine but steamlink crashes the kernel due to the bug with the OSMC kernel.

anycase if you get it working report back cause im not tracking osmc updates anymore.
