and build image as Compile [LibreELEC.wiki]

It all started here with discussion: Fixed: allow some basic HTTP headers to be passed on to ffmpeg by basrieter · Pull Request #10402 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub

I doubt this feature request would be accepted But who knows. If I were you I would just use one http proxy to insert this headers.

This output comes from dvddemuxffmpeg.cpp#l790

And as you can see from the lines above only some headers are passed. Not sure if you could do what you want without custom build.

Maybe with some HTTP proxy.

You add multiple headers with & in between.

And no, header doesn't need to start with X-.

In your case try

|SUBID=1&STBID=1

At the end of URL try adding custom header like

http://streamer.example.com/live/699/live.m3u8|X-My-Custom-Header=something

You could try this: Disabling the Webcam or USB Ports on Linux - Karl's Code

Writing to unbind/bind could be done with suspend/resume script Creating Suspend and Resume Scripts [LibreELEC.wiki]

You can also try with hdparm to set suspend time.

From what i see some users don't understand that some touchscreens needs to be calibrated? And then they are wondering why it doesn't work or it work only on some area.

First he need to test the touchscreen with evtest program if he get correct (or any) data or not. If touchscreen doesn't work with evtest then he can think of better options.

Are there even addons for S905? I think not. Other links are working.

Make yourself some simple Kodi addon in Python which shows you some buttons/images and when you tap on it it plays file associated with it. Should be simple enough.

Quote from JeffR

Does your touch daemon/addon really run while Kodi is running?

In my case touch addon starts before Kodi. This way it gets exclusive access to input. Didn't know for LIBINPUT_IGNORE_DEVICE at that time.

Few years back I helped one guy who used 40" TV with touchscreen in a museum. He made custom fullscreen skin with only few buttons which represents which video to play. Something similar what you are doing

Then you must use LE from him because official LE 7 doesn't have H3 project. Ask him where it is.

Or use this addon found by Google: pvr.iptvsimple-1.12.12.zip

What about just using pvr.iptvsimple-1.12.12.zip

Download on RPi itself

wget -O pvr.iptvsimple-1.12.12.zip http://addons.libreelec.tv/7.0/RPi2/arm/pvr.iptvsimple/pvr.iptvsimple-1.12.12.zip

Maybe one day.

Few months back Kodi GUI was not even displayed correctly. Now the GUI is shown but I couldn't play anything. So there is visible progress.

JeffR, can you explain why you need python script to read data? What exactly are you trying to do?

I do have some experience with touchscreen and kodi. When I was doing my touch daemon/addon I learned a thing or two.

Also, does Kodi also needs to read touchscreen events? If yes then you need to create another input device with Python and pass read data from touchscreen to this new input Kodi will be using.

I'm just wondering: why do you even need this external python script? Can't you handle touchscreen in Kodi itself?

JeffR, you just need to run python script before kodi is started. Make a service like I did for touchscreen addon: LibreELEC.tv/service.touchscreen.service at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

Or run your script in background from autostart.sh.

Kodi on Armbian will behave exactly the same.

Evtest program is part of system-addon.

Come on, at least for USB keyboard Kodi IS the issue because it grabs input device. Not just on RPi but on every device (and here RPi is not even used). I bet touchscreen is also grabbed.

And there is no data loss: there is no data because other process blocks to read it. Try using evtest with keyboard and you will see what I'm talking about.

Wondering why USB memory stick works on RPi? Maybe someone should make GPIO based memory stick to make it safer
