Dear all,
I know, there are lots of post on similar topics already raised in the forum and maybe i miss some notes ... but please believe me, I already check the forum and either the problem is mentioned for a very older version, the "solutions" didn't work for me or they are discussion on Kodi on MacOS.
Basically i have two issues ...
1.) Seems LibreELEC/Kodi does not detect HDMI Graphiccard accordingly, because MiniDisplay Port doesn't provide Audio out ... and KODI doesn't show HDMI or mini DP Audio out in settings
2.) Original Mac Remote is working out-of-the-box with LibreELEC/Kodi, but the Remote keys are not set correctly, up/down = Volume up/down; Left/right = No action etc. not like the key setting for LibreELEC for AppleTV
I have no dependencies on the LibreELEC Version that I want to use on my Mac Mini 3.1 and my personal requirements are very moderate ...
The idea was to use an older MacMini 3.1 with DP port as a little Media Center and the idea is to run Kodi on LibreELEC and not on macOS, so I created a USB Installer and install LibreELEC 9.97.1 (and 9.95.1) natively on my MacMini. After installation from USB Stick was done, MacMini boots regularly from HDD, loads LibreELEC and finally provided the standard welcome page.
Installation smoothly works out-of-the-box, Graphic settings are ok, Network working Mouse/Keyboard = all Ok. But after I tested with first movie, movie runs fine but without sound ... and original Apple Remote is not working like I know from AppleTV v1.
Audio issue I know already from other installations and I'm aware that in need to select the proper audio device in settings ... Okay ... but when I go to settings and try to change Audio Device, I recognized that only one Audio device is available and this is "Default, Bluetooth Audio (PULSEAUDIO), even analog Audio is not available and Audio Device is greyed out. So for me it looks like LibreELEC didn't detect any Audio device on my Mac Mini 3.1 (no DP Audio, no Analog Audio) ... I will do the installation with another LibreELEC Version again, but I doubt that I will have a similar result (9.95.1 shows same result).
If I install Kodi on macOS as app ... Analog Audio Out is working ...
LibreELEC native installation ... Analog Audio Out is not working.
Same for Remote ... Key setting in native LibreELEC/Kodi installtion ... Keys not correct ... Kodi installation on MacOS ... Key settings of Apple Remote (silver) working correctly
Hardware: MacMini 3.1, Intel Core2Duo P7550/2,26 GHZ
Video: GeForce 9400/integrated/SSE2
OpenGL: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 340.108
Any idea if I'm able to get it running perfectly ? and if ... What do in need to change ???
Any solutions, ideas, hint appreciated
Many thanks for the support
