13:30 <shibboleth> what's the current status of rpi2/3 support?

14:28 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> depends on what features you depend upon

14:28 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> apart from software optimised HEVC and 3D, LE10/LE11 images should be fine

14:29 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> if you need HEVC .. best option is an RPi4

14:29 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> plan B is to continue using LE9.2

14:44 <shibboleth> yeah, i wa sunder the impression that le10s gpu driver isn't compatible with rpi2/3?

14:44 <shibboleth> no need for hevc atm and afaik rpi2/3 doesn't have hw decoding for h265 anyway?

14:46 <macros_> As far as I understand it is. But It now uses a fully open source approach. With the proprietary driver clever hacks enabled support for 3D and HVEC, and it may take a long while or with dwindling developer interest forever till these tricks are supported with the new driver stack.

14:49 <chewitt> the DRM driver and H264 vdec are common to RPi2/3/4

14:50 <chewitt> the HEVC vdec only works with RPi4

14:50 <shibboleth> then why no le10 for rpi2/3?

14:51 <chewitt> current LE10 branch supports and next release (10.0.2) will have an RPi2/3 image

14:51 <shibboleth> wonderful

14:52 <chewitt> 3D will probably get implemented at some point .. one of the Pi devs is keen on it and has a 3D screen

14:52 <macros_> Thats great to hear!

14:52 <shibboleth> also, is 10.0.2 far off? re recent kernel, samba vulns?

14:53 <chewitt> don't hold your breath though .. the to-do list has a long list of higher priority times

14:53 <chewitt> there is no plan to redo software optimised HEVC .. if it's that important for you stay on 9.2 or get an RPi4

14:54 <chewitt> 10.0.2 is basically ready on our side but we're missing Kodi 19.4

14:54 <shibboleth> ah

14:55 <chewitt> which is slowly (very slowly) being worked on upstream

14:55 <chewitt> coming soon .. insh'allah

14:57 <chewitt> there are some nightlies kicking around the forums if people want to test

14:58 <chewitt> it's still using 5.10 kernel as Pi devs are backporting everthing to it .. in addition to 5.15 and maintaining v.latest

14:58 <chewitt> unlike ye olde codebase *everything* is going upstream

17:57 <shibboleth> anyone know how to speed up kodi directory listings? if i mount the share and list it on cmdline it takes a few secs. with le/kodi it'll take upwards of 25 seconds- i get that kodi has to compare with myvideos-db

21:13 <mack> shibboleth: I never noticed anything like that with my Pi2 running 8.x or Pi4 running 9.x. But I have wired ethernet and the db is not on SD card (mysql on another server).

21:14 <shibboleth> db is on class 10, uhs 1 sd, 2000+ youtube clips on a smb share

21:14 <mack> single best thing I did to improve kodi UI and item listing speed was to move the db off

21:15 <mack> yeah, fast SD didn't matter for me. It was still slower than ethernet to mysql

21:16 <shibboleth> yeah, i'mma try mysql

21:16 <mack> sqlite really isn't great when the number of records gets high
