Support for OpenELEC #35

Open jkiddo opened 10 years ago

Could forked-daapd be disted for the OpenElec platform? It dpes not seem too hard and I would gladly help out where I could.

Yes, that would be nice. I don't know much about OpenELEC, I'm not sure how one would get the dependencies in order on that platform. The tutorial says to put the dependencies in PKG_BUILD_DEPENDS, but how does one see what libraries are available? Do you know how that is done?

jkiddo commented 10 years ago

Nope - best guess is that they are downloaded on-demand somehow?

And this might also give a hint: https://github.com/OpenELEC/unofficial-addons/blob/master/addons/service/downloadmanager/transmission/package.mk

Pretty pretty please - I hope someone would have a look at http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on_development - I would just love to see this happen.

Don't hold your breath on this. The whole concept of OpenELEC is it's simplicity. When it XBMC first started running on the Raspberry Pi, there was a definite performance advantage. Now there's no noticeable difference between even just installing Kodi directly into Raspbian. If you really want that functionality, do what I did and switch to Raspbian with Kodi installed in it and you can add whatever else you want. Make it a print server and a web server as well. If you can get through the more complex install, the user experience is identical. I have my local music directory set to Kodi's music playlist folder so when I create a playlist (something forked-daapd can't do) it just shows up in forked-daapd.

That is of course a way to do it - I've considered it multiple times and you might got a point

Thanks for the notification, let's see what kind of reaction it gets. In general I don't want to maintain packages for platforms I don't use myself, but if I can help someone else doing this it would be my pleasure.
