3 years ago Code is rebased, but it needs some clean-up and dedicated platform build, so it doesn't interfere with regular linux build. I hope I can finish PR soon. Sorry I've been a bit short on free time.

3 years ago @aliubimov Any updates on making a PR upstream to Kodi's 'xbmc/xbmc' repo ("xbmc:master" branch)?
Noticed that they updated to FFmpeg 4.4 which according to the changelog apparently added "NVDEC AV1 hwaccel" support:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/19558
https://www.ffmpeg.org/index.html#news
https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git/blob_plain/refs/heads/release/4.4:/Changelog
Regardless you might want to note that many PRs for upstream are now targeting/tagging to their "N* 20.0 Alpha 1" milestone:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/milestone/137
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/milestones/
PS: "N*" is short for Kodi v20 (Kodi version 20.0) codename which is still undecided will start the letter "N";

Update! Kodi v20 has now gotten the codename "Nexus" (Kodi 20.x "Nexus") which in the pre-alpha development stage:

For reference; upstream now also have PRs by @a1rwulf for adding AV1 hw decoding in VideoPlayer via VAAPI and MediaCodec:
@aliubimov Please consider submitting a pull request for Tegra Decoder and L4T hardware decoding to upstream 'xbmc/xbmc'
I think that a pull request for "Nvidia Tegra support for Nvidia Jetson" to the upstream 'xbmc/xbmc' would be much welcomed by many Kodi fans who like SBC since the newly announced "2GB" NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit only cost $54-59 (US) at launch!

Suggest rebase and then submit pull request upstream to -> https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc master?
https://github.com/aliubimov/xbmc/commits/feature/tegra-support
https://github.com/aliubimov/xbmc/commits/feature/kodi-tegra
Maybe just try submit 'as-is' as a [WIP] (Work-in-Progress) just to get feedback on the code from the upstream developers?

I believe that LibreELEC users especially would be in interested in Nvidia Jetson Nano if future a LibreELEC version would support it
https://libreelec.tv
https://github.com/LibreELEC
LibreELEC is the semi-official JeOS (Just Enough Operating System) for Kodi and many on Team Kodi are also on Team LibreELEC.
It would be great if Nvidia Tegra decoding could be tested with LibreELEC on an NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit!
