Where is the kodi *.ipk link?

Hi,
Sorry, since the .ipk files are larger than the maximum allowed size of 25 MB, I could not upload with free GitHub account.
You can test an earlier Wayland1 version here from Diniboy1123 Branch:
https://github.com/Diniboy1123/xbmc-webos/releases/download/before-rebase/org.xbmc.kodi_20.90.101_arm_wayland1_noaddons.ipk

[enderaltin]

thnks,
Is it possible that the versions in the link will work?

Unfortunately no chance. I am currently trying to rebase the new version 21 Alpha 3 for webOS3 Wayland1. But so far without success. Also, the old sources for webOS3 are no longer available. It is very hard and time intensive to adapt some things. Apparently no interest from developer side to waste time on old webOS3. Nevertheless, I try to continue my efforts.

I understand, but the "ipk" you gave above works, right?

by the way the best version is Kodi 18, it would be great if you can do that

[satgit62]

Sure, the version from the link works 100%.

After the installation you have to execute the following command in terminal: cp /usr/lib/libwayland-egl.so /media/developer/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.xbmc.kodi/lib/libwayland-egl.so.1

Thank you, I do the installation by connecting to the device via telnet from a PC. I can run this command via telnet, right?

[satgit62]

Yeah, sure.

[satgit62]

Why don't they install webOS Dev Manager on their PC, that would simplify a lot? Terminal is also available, and even more important things.

Hello, I installed it with the application you mentioned. kodi worked for me...
My problem is; The screen is not full.. When I go to the settings and do something, it becomes full screen, but every time it starts up, it is broken again. My second problem is that I cannot access my shared directory on the PC connected to the same network.

Hi,
the GUI is limited to 1080P resolution. However, this limitation does not affect the video output. All resolutions are displayed, including Dolby Vision and HDR.
I cannot reproduce the problem with the network. I can access all my shares (NFS, Samba).
USB devices can be found under Root Filesystem /tmp/usb/sda/sda1/.
No add-ons are preserved in this version. If you are missing some, I can compile them. The fact that you published the ipk link in Discord is probably not liked by devs.
This is a non-public branch.

[enderaltin]

You did for WebOS3 what they couldn't do for Discord. They were pontificating on me that it should definitely be WebOs4 :)

[satgit62]

I know, since I'm on discord myself.
The hardware from 2017 with webOS3 is reaching its limits. Therefore, it will also be very difficult to compile the new Kodi versions for.

What did the user named hellbox mean?

[satgit62]

hellobox is one of the main developers of the Openlgtv platform. He said that you forgot a 1 at the end of the command and the command is ineffective. I wrote a post after him, the correct syntax. Also, this is no longer necessary on the newer devices from webOS 5.xx onwards.
