[Solved] Switching Hyperion on/off via remote

Gordi · April 4, 2018 at 10:09 AM

Hi there,

i would like to toggle Hyperion on/off via remote on my RPI3 but can't figure out how.

I'm using libreELEC 8.2.4 and the Hyperion addon from Team LibreELEC.

Everything works fine.

I found this post here Switching Hyperion on/off via keyboard/remote?!

I understand that i need a script to switch and an remote.xml for the remote.

Here is what i have done so far

script witch toggle between on/off in /storage/.kodi/userdata

an make it executable

chmod +x /storage/.kodi/addon/service.hyperion/hyperion_switch.sh

Bash

#!/bin/sh
if ps | grep -v grep | grep hyperiond > /dev/null
then
killall hyperiond
else
/bin/sh /storage/.kodi/addons/service.hyperion/bin/hyperiond.sh /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.hyperion/hyperion.config.json 
</dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &
fi

and the remote.xml in /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps

Code

<keymap>
  <global>
    <remote>
      <blue>system.exec("/storage/.kodi/userda<img src="https://forum.libreelec.tv/core/images/smilies/emojione/2639.png" alt=":(" class="smiley" srcset="https://forum.libreelec.tv/core/images/smilies/emojione/2639@2x.png 2x" id="wscSmiley_0_1" height="23">ta/hyperionswitch.sh")</blue>
    </remote>
  </global>
</keymap>

OK now to my problem:

While playback i can toggle off hyperion pressing the blue button on my remote. =>fine

But Hyperion restarts immediately => why?

I'm pretty much a noob in these things und really need your help.

i have done the test from vpeter

Code

ps
python /storage/.kodi/userdata/hyperionswitch.sh
ps
python /storage/.kodi/userdata/hyperionswitch.sh
ps

result:

Code

Try using systemctl in hyperion_switch.sh like

Code

if ps | grep -v grep | grep hyperiond > /dev/null; then
  systemctl stop service.hyperion.service
else
  systemctl start service.hyperion.service
fi
