Possibility to install Python modules with Libreelec

Frimelbear · September 17, 2024 at 1:43 PM

Hello out there, in order to login at Netflix I decided for the solution: https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plu…hentication-key. But this requires some Python modules, which have be installed. This in turn requires pip or pip3. But this is not part of Libreelec's Python installation. So is there a handy way to install software or at least Python modules within Libreelec? Maybe somewhere in /storage/.kodi?

Thank you

It's not possible for users to install modules, they need to be baked into the image. We might need to package them into the core image to support the required script being run.

heitbaum HiassofT thoughts?

Even if you install the python modules for getting the netflix key this won't help much in LibreELEC as they'll spawn a chrome browser - which only exists for Generic Legacy and resides in a rather non-standard location so likely you'd have to modify the scripts.

Just run the script on a Windows/Linux PC or Mac.

so long,

Hello chewitt and HiassofT, thank you for your help. I was able to logon to Netflix with a plain Raspberry Pi OS installation and it's preinstalled browser without need of any plugin. So that works now. But is there a way to work with the toolkit and scriptset which creates Libreelec to create my own version?

Thanks and regards

You'd have to add python modules and whatever scripts are required. It's possible, but there are no instructions, although the buildsystem contains a large amount of prior art.
