smakovits Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 silly question. but, if I am able to pass dev/dri into a docker container to get full openGL support in chrome for instance, does this mean that I could similarly pass the same to a kodi container, get hardware support and eliminate the need for a VM and instead run (headed) Kodi vs headless? or is that way off base and totally impossible? just something I though tof when I woke up.

smakovits Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 I guess that's a no? Link to comment
aptalca Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I don't think passing through /dev/dri is the same as passing through a full hardware controller. /dev/dri is only a very specific software implementation supported by the kernel (it's just an api, really). It is necessary and sufficient for chrome for drm supported video acceleration, but kodi needs much more Link to comment
smakovits Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Ah, makes sense, hence full hardware pass through to a vm Link to comment
