Kodi V19 - Android 11 problem

Open lefty10 opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

I'm using the addon version for Kodi V19 by @Dobi-Dev (https://github.com/Dobi-Dev/plugin.video.iptv.recorder). It worked on Android 9 but when upgraded to Android 11, it failed because of ffmpeg permissions: See Kodi_error.txt

I know that Android 11 added many restrictions on using files. Does ffmpeg need to be placed on different directory other than /data/data/... in order to overcome the permission problem ?

It very likely that it's the SDK issue. You might need to update ffmpeg to the later version.

I updated ffmpeg to latest. Same error.

I don't have android 11, so I can't check on my side. But yes, you can try to change ffmpeg location. In all case, the ffmpeg file must have be allowed to be executed by all users. It is possible that some files explore application let you change these rights manually.

Best regards.

I changed ffmpeg location to kodi userdata location and changed ffmpeg permissions to have execute ability to all. I changed the permissions from the addon itself. But unfortunately i get the same error.

Unfortunately, you can no more start another binary stored in the app data folder. Have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60370424/permission-is-denied-using-android-q-ffmpeg-error-13-permission-denied

This issue might be solved if Kodi decided to ship ffmpeg binary, then it would be possible to execute it on Android 11. https://github.com/Mariusz89B/script.mtvguide/issues/18#issuecomment-1195090394
