I got it working, many thanks!!!

Just trying to get the exact syntax to query and parse the file in Python... (cat /etc/os-release)

Ah yes. And I actually found another, quicker way. A mate recommended to read and parse the /etc/os-release

Facepalm! Thanks mate, should have taken some time to think about it lol. cheers!

Hi there,

I am trying to develop an addon, and would like it to bring in some information about the current device, like the service.libreelec.settings does.

I am happy to have the librelec settings addon provide this information to me.

I would like the following:

Version

Architecture

Device

When I use :

Container(5533).Property(Version)

or

Container(5533).Property(Arch)

The device crashes, lol.

I am using MX3 AMlogic device with latest demitris S812 firmware.

Anyone from the LE team that could kindly let me know what code I use to get this information, I would greatly appreciate it.

Cheers!

Ken

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone was able to get Extendedinfo Script working for movies and TV shows?

I am using Kszaqs LE 8.2 on an AMLogic S905x chipset.

The error is:

Quote from chewitt

inputstream.adaptive for Krypton is being updated up with backports from master in prep for the 17.4-RC1 release. The k17_2 branch in peak3d's github repo is (or will become) the production repo for it. Current git HEAD fixed a bunch of issues that I was seeing - we did some joint debug and test last night.

Ah, OK thanks so much Chewitt! I'll await the 17.4-RC1 release, and recompile then.

Thanks for your hard work mate. I'll test it again once I have updated to the RC1.

Cheers,

Ken

Thanks chewitt. I was just about to ask how I can get libwidevine installed. Lol.

Any other ideas? Can anyone else get MPEG DASH working on x86 platform?

Cheers

Ken

Hey Irusak, I'm not sure but will check right away Thanks!

Hi all,

I have LE 8.0.2 installed on my Intel NUC. It works brilliantly and everything works well... apart from MPEG-DASH support in YouTube. When I choose the stream mpd/0 the stream does not play, and crashes (restarts) kodi.

I have set Youtube to use MPEG-DASH, installed and enabled adaptive inputstream and rtmp addons. I have set Youtube to "Always ask for stream quality" but set max quality to 1080p. So whenever I choose a stream, it prompts me to choose. I choose the top stream (labelled MPD)

LE version 8.0.2 x86

Youtube addon version 5.4.1

script.module.requests version is 2.12.4

My log is:

Then Kodi restarts.

Any suggestions on what to try, or any more logs I can provde, I will hapily do so.

Thanks!!!

Hey all,

kszaq, did you notice this download? Could this contain the fbdev drivers you need?

Linux_BSP

Cheers,

Ken

Works - thanks a million Demetris! I have 4K in all of its 30Hz glory!

Thanks for your reply Demetris,

Just to confirm - HDMI 1.4 is capable of running 4K @ 24 and 30 Hz.

My MX3-G device plays 4K fine when using the stock Android firmware. So it is capable for sure, it just seems to have an issue with LIbreElec for some reason.

I look forward to your new build to see if it solves the issue.

Cheers, and thanks again for you time!

Ken

Hi Demetris,

Thanks for the build, I have been testing on my MX3-G (8g/16g) device .

DO you know if this supports 4K?

I am seeing strange behavior when I switch to 4K res (3840 x 2160), the picture goes up to the top left.

The same behavior happens when I leave the kodi interface @ 1080p resolution, and I play a 4K file. The picture goes small to the top left.

I have tried with the Xonfluence skin and the stock Estuary skin - same issue.

I have attached photos of the issue. Have you seen this before?

As a note - when I run Kodi Krypton in the original Android ROM, on the same device, the 840 x 2160 resolution is not available to choose on the kodi interface. But when I play 4K movies, they play perfectly.

Thanks for any advice!!

Cheers,

Ken

Hey again, of course, please find it attached.
CHeers,
Ken

Fixed it! Just had a small typo in my update.php

Thanks for your time!

Cheers,
Ken

Hey again,

OK gotcha, thanks Irusak!

So if i am using a custom LIbreELEC, with a custom update website, then I can control that with a releases.py script and update.php.

I will take a peek into my code to see if I can see why it is not auto updating.

Thanks for your help!
Ken

Ok cool... Hmm, then why aren't my auto-update devices getting updates automatically I wonder?

I can do a manual update no problem.

I am wondering about this canary period, how does that work?

Cheers,
Ken
