  • Readout the correct temperatures

    Hi,

    yesterday i looked for the temperatures of the cpu and gpu for the first time. the values are unrealistic. cpu temperature was 22 degrees and gpu 20 degrees. the same when i use 'cputemp' and 'gputemp' with ssh. the htpc was running for 2 or 3 hours and played some hd files. is this normal or soem problems with the sensors?

    my hardware:

    mainboard = asrock am1h

    cpu: sempron 3850

    i running libreelec 8.02 (generic).

  • Volume control when using Passthrough

    Hi,

    the last days i've tested my raspberry pi 3 with libreelec 8.0.1 and an external sound device (SPDIF). I use passthrough for AC3. problem is that i have to increase the volume on the a/v-receiver when i use raspberry pi and reduce it when i use my htpc - also when i play the same file. the settings are the same, both are running with libreelec 8.0.1. i can't increase the volume directly on the sound device (there are buttons for that but it seems the volume is already max.).

    is there any way in libreelec to increase the volume for passthrough for all files so that i don't need to change the volume on the a/v-receiver?

  • CM6206 Chipset working with LibreELEC?

    Hi,

    i'm searching a USB Sound card for raspberry pi and one that i've found is a card with cm6206 chipset. i found some information that it works with old ubuntu versions (10.x), but nothing about other distris or current versions.

    is this chipset supported by libreelec on a raspberry pi 3?

  • No CEC when Raspi starts without TV

    Hi,

    i tried LibreELEC on my RaspiPi3. After adding this to the config.txt, LE works even the Raspi was started at first

    hdmi_force_hotplug=1
    disable_overscan=1

    but in this case cec doesn't work. normally after booting there is a message that pulse-eight cec adapter is connected and i can control librelec with the tv's remote control.

    i can't find any option here RPiconfig - eLinux.org to fix the cec problem. is there any solution for that?

    Edit:
    it happens something strange. i've started the pi, then started the tv. i did nothing with the devices. after dimming the display i pressed the cursor-up key and the tv jumps from hdmi 2 input (where the pi is plugged on) to hdmi 1. it seems that now the pi controls the tv and not the tv the pi. maybe other keys also work, cursor-up is teh only key i've testet.

  • Black screen when libreelec starts before tv is on

    now i owner of a graphic card with gt 710 gpu. the card works good, but i don't have screen when the htpc is started before the tv.

    the getedid script doesn't work. there is a error after reboot, but i can't remember the error text.

    i tried this Custom EDID - LibreELEC. there is an error after step 4.2

    Code
    systemctl start xorg.service
Job for xorg.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status xorg.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

    This is the output of 'system status xorg.service'

    and the output of 'journalctl -xe'

    If tested getedid with a new installation of libreelec 8.0.1. here i have the same problem. after 'getedid create' ends the systems doesn't reboot automatically. after restarting libreelec the systems hang at the libreelec logo. here i have the error:

    Code
    failed to start the xorg server
dependency failed for fluxbox window manager

    this is the same error i had before. i can't fix that with 'getedid delete':

    Code
    Job for xorg.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status xorg.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

  • Black screen when libreelec starts before tv is on

    Doesn't work. The same as with Ubuntu with a Kernel higher than 3.16: invalid format.

    BUT: The solution posted on kodi.tv works with my other fullhd tv, it still doesn't work with my 4k tv. maybe this is the problem?

    just to be sure: this is the complete line in extlinux.conf

    APPEND boot=LABEL=System disk=LABEL=Storage quiet initrd=/edid.cpio drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/edid.bin video=HDMI-A-1:D

    there is a smily in your post, it think correct is ": D" (without the space) at the end as well as in the kodi.tv thread.

  • Black screen when libreelec starts before tv is on

    1.) First i've tried Ubuntu 16.04 as the OS for my HTPC and i failed getting the TV to work. This HowTo Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) doesn't work with Kernel higher then 3.16. But at the moment i've given up tries with Ubuntu as OS for my HTPC.

    2.) So i tried LibreELEC. I did not answer your question because this thread in kodinerds forum was about ubuntu and not libreelec.

    Here is - somewhat late - my answer to yours questions :)

    Code
    for f in /sys/class/drm/card*; do echo $f && cat $f/enabled; done
/sys/class/drm/card0
cat: can't open '/sys/class/drm/card0/enabled': No such file or directory
/sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1
enabled
/sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-2
disabled
/sys/class/drm/card0-VGA-1
disabled

    But then tell us if you already dumped the EDID to the specific file mentioned in the How-To.

    The EDID on LibreELEC is untouched. All my tries to fix the problem was made on my Ubuntu system.

    My TV is a 4K TV vom LG, maybe this is a problem.
