Hi all,

WoW! I haven't been in here for so long. Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Raspberry price and other boards are going skyrock and out of stock. I'm thinking of getting BananaPi M2 Ultra (R40). I might have overlooked but I don't see Build Commands LE 10.0.x for the R40.

PROJECT=Allwinner ARCH=arm DEVICE=?? make image

Thanks!

Hey guys,

did the eeprom/bootloader files update for USB boot - not sure if the elf/dat replacement workaround wont work because of that

but in regards to the above - isn't 9.2.2 only for X86, not RPI4?

I compiled 9.2.2 from github

HiassofT

1) Just curious, whenever LibreElec dev push new update for Kodi 18.7, the code you mention no longer needed?

Now, I'm on 9.2.2 so I don't feel like downgrading. Is 9.2.2 work with the code you mentioned? I have RPi4 4gb

Tried on 9.2.2 and it works.

"....GUI at 1080p with 4K modes (23.976/24/50/59.94/60) in the whitelist for playback...."

Do I need to touch "Resolution" or just go with the default and only change GUI and whitelist?

Thanks

Thank you for linking your work on the other post.

1. Can I add "dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown" in config.txt from SD card while it's plugged to desktop using Notepad++

2. The pin 33 and pin 34 will work for ON/OFF plus led status?

3. For the executed command (chmod +x ), is there a way without the need command from terminal? Like, right click the file (.py & .sh) and change something in Properties?

is "/storage" mean there's a folder inside SD card name "/storage"?

I just updated from Pi3B to Pi4B 4GB with LibreElec 9.2. The reason I updated because of Gigabit LAN, USB3, and 4K. I have no problem watching 4K. The only thing I noticed is "sometime" screen glitches when scrolling or pressing back to home screen but watching 4K or any movies, no glitches. I did set Kodi GUI to 1080p but still the same as if I were to set to 4K..

Love the 4K on my Samsung Q60R series. I use Rting site for picture calibration.

I got my RPI4B 4GB from Micro Center since it's only $50 and RPI power is $8

Amazon Bundle case (case, fan, heat sink) $9. Fan is super quiet. I use pin 3 (red +3v) and pin 6 (Black)

Micro HDMI to HDMI $8 plus addition 5% off = $7.60

I'm thinking of returning RPI power supply and get this one since it has a switch ON/OFF for $9. With 5% off it's $8.55

Anyone? Uninstall using CleanMyMac and then redownload and reinstall still had same issue

Possible error in the installer - changed title to reflect this.

Hi,

Not sure if anyone had issue burning RPI3 .gz file with macOS Catalina 10.15.2. After launching LibreELEC USB-SD Creator and entering password, a popup show saying, "iCloud Dive may not work properly. Please check the iCloud preference pane." It's not only me had this notification, my friend also had it. Side note, we don't use iCloud Drive and our iCloud login are connected normally.

I click OK and it doesn't see the .gz file in my download folder. Ubuntu LibreELEC USB-SD Creator work perfectly.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Compile [LibreELEC.wiki]

this explains how you have to use it

Yes I already look in wiki.

Using code below, the output will show development. At first boot, the top left show something "community devel build followi by date and other number. (git checkout 9.0.0)

PROJECT=RPi DEVICE=RPi2 ARCH=arm make image

In LE8.x, if I do get "git checkout 8.2.5", the code to run will be ROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm make image since it's a final stable version.

The output in TV, will show 8.2.5 version instead of develp.

Hope I made sense. Thanks

Any help would be appreciated.

Is this the correct compile for both Development (master) and Stable version of LE9

PROJECT=RPi DEVICE=RPi2 ARCH=arm IMAGE_SUFFIX=RPi9.0.0 make image

I noticed there's no PROJECT=RPi2 in LE9.x

I know in LE8.x, I use this for stable version

PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm IMAGE_SUFFIX=RPi8.x make image

I did a git checkout 9.0.0. Is this the latest stable version? I tried to compile and only "PROJECT=RPi DEVICE=RPi2 ARCH=arm IMAGE_SUFFIX=RPi9.0.0 make image" that work but it gave a development build.

Then I tried these:

PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm IMAGE_SUFFIX=RPi9.0.0 make image

Resurrecting this thread to share my solution:

The Fire TV Stick Remote enters some kind of standby mode, which disconnects it. My (not very elegant) solution was to try every 15 seconds from the RPi to reconnect:

1. go to libreelec bluetooth settings and (re)connect the remote

2. ssh to the RPi

3. issue command echo|bluetoothctl , write down the MAC address of "Amazon Fire TV Remote", for example 11:22:33:44:55:66 (yours will of course differ!)

4. create cronjobs to try to connect every 15 seconds:

crontab -e, enter in editor:

Bash

* * * * * sleep 00;echo 'connect 11:22:33:44:55:66'|bluetoothctl > /dev/null 2>&1
* * * * * sleep 15;echo 'connect 11:22:33:44:55:66'|bluetoothctl > /dev/null 2>&1
* * * * * sleep 30;echo 'connect 11:22:33:44:55:66'|bluetoothctl > /dev/null 2>&1
* * * * * sleep 45;echo 'connect 11:22:33:44:55:66'|bluetoothctl > /dev/null 2>&1

save and quit editor

5. Press the "Home" button on the remote for at least 16 seconds

6. Enjoy reconnected remote

Exercise left for the impatient: more cronjobs, less sleep

Hi,

When copying the script, do i copy exactly like your script beside the mac address including the "5 stars" too? Just use any 1 of one the 4 script?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm planning to add Momentary Tact Push Button Switch to my RPi3. Will the below work? This site I found was kind of old but was wonder if the code and kodi setup is the same for LibreElec. The author used OpenElec, HowTo: Raspberry Pi OpenElec Power Wake and Shutdown Button using GPIO – barryhubbard.com

mkdir /storage/scripts
nano /storage/scripts/shutdown.py
Add this line:

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
sys.path.append('/storage/.kodi/addons/python.RPi.GPIO/lib')
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import subprocess

# we will use the pin numbering to match the pins on the Pi, instead of the 
# GPIO pin outs (makes it easier to keep track of things)

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)  

# use the same pin that is used for the reset button (one button to rule them all!)
GPIO.setup(5, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_UP)  

oldButtonState1 = True

while True:
    #grab the current button state
    buttonState1 = GPIO.input(5)

  # check to see if button has been pushed
  if buttonState1 != oldButtonState1 and buttonState1 == False:
    subprocess.call("shutdown -h now", shell=True, 
      stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
    oldButtonState1 = buttonState1

    time.sleep(.1)

nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh
add this line:

python /storage/scripts/shutdown.py &

Thanks,

Basically, I did all these just in case something left behind then pull to master and then to get tag

git clean -xfd
PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm scripts/clean linux
rm -rf /home/User/.ccache-libreelec
PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm make clean
PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm make distclean  <--- next time I will do this too

git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/master
git checkout master
git pull
git checkout 8.2.3

I always do a "make clean" or fresh start everything.

Thought their would be a way without doing all those.

Thanks,

I looked in wiki but I don't see how to update to latest after compiling from previous version. I do not want to "make clean".

Currently, I'm on LE8.2.1. Do I need to just do "git checkout 8.2.3". Anything I added/modified from 8.2.1 will still be their? Then just do

PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm

Thanks
