BROKEN: Hyperion-NG

[CvH]

Hyperion NG is the successor of Hyperion.
It just supports legacy renders so currently no support for anything else then X11.

I played already far too much over the current year to make it work.
It builds but won't run.

LibreELEC:~/.kodi/addons/service.hyperion-ng/bin # QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 ./hyperiond
QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() ignoring "org.qt-project.Qt.QPA.QPlatformIntegrationFactoryInterface.5.3" since plugins are disabled in static builds
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

• the patches are based on the patches that are done for AML at CE (looks super hacky, but works)
• currently I use X11 because XCB doesn't build for qtbase
• it never run yet, so no idea if stuff is still missing
• likewise some stuff is at the pr that is not necessary, can't really remember what I added over the year

What to do to make it work ?
Likewise qtbase is broken, maybe it would just run if someone gets qt building with xcb.
XCB could be activated at hyperion with -DENABLE_XCB=ON.
I was stuck at some random qt errors that I can't fix. Maybe someone has more luck.

According to https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng/blob/master/CrossCompileHowto.md you need:

• qtbase5-dev
• libqt5serialport5-dev
• libqt5svg5-dev = missing package -> create a qtsvg package like you did for serialport

and since xcb is disabled https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/blob/master/packages/addons/addon-depends/qtbase/package.mk#L46 it should be enabled too https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux-requirements.html

For xcb it's quite possible that you need some or all of these packages too:
