Inputstream FFmpegDirect incompatibility with Kodi 20 "Nexus" Alpha 1

Closed this issue · 9 comments

Hi, I have a problem. Oddly I just installed Kodi 20 "Nexus" Alpha 1, and I notice that the add-on is not compatible.

Yes, there was a recent API change. What platform?

What platform are enough running.

Android
(Samsung Galaxy Tab A - Android 11 R)

There was a build error for Android. It will be there once the PR is built and release.

add-on used to work, yet after update to
Kodi Media Center 20.0 (20.0.0) Git:20230115-389e701cb9 on Ubuntu 22.04
pull from git and make compilation without errors
-> Kodi arequests to install inputstream-FFmpeg, but then fails with message:
"The add-on is not compatible with this version of Kodi"
-> any advice?

Do you have another version installed already? Otherwise please use the forum for support. https://forum.kodi.tv/

thanks for the rapid response. Another version of what?
Kodi 19.5 on Ubuntu 22.04 works perfectly fine with the inputstream-FFmpeg add-on.

Do you have v19 addons installed in kodi 20?

the solution is kinda obvious, once you figure it out :)
git switch Nexus

more extensive to help others: there are specific branches for each Kodi release!
-> only git pull on a previous local copy retrieves the latest add-on, but for the Kodi release set as default at the time.
Thanks, now inputstream-FFmpeg working flawless with Kodi 20 on Ubuntu 22.04
