Hello!

I am using a rpi model b with LE 8.1.1. I have attached a HD44780 20x4 to the GPIO Pins of the RPI and installed the LCDProc addon from the LE repo and the LCDProc addon from the normal repo. In the LE addon i selected HD44780 as Driver.

My lcdd.conf Looks like this:

1.[server]
2.DriverPath=/storage/.kodi/addons/service.lcdd/lib/lcdproc/
3.Driver=hd44780
4.Bind=127.0.0.1
5.Port=13666
6.User=nobody
7.Foreground=no
8.Hello="Welcome to"
9.Hello="LibreELEC"
10.GoodBye="Thanks for using"
11.GoodBye="LibreELEC"
12.WaitTime=5
13.ServerScreen=blank
14.Backlight=open
15.Heartbeat=open
16.TitleSpeed=4
17.[hd44780]
18.ConnectionType=raspberrypi
19.#pin_D4=25
20.#pin_D5=24
21.#pin_D6=23
22.#pin_D7=18
23.#pin_EN=8
24.#pin_RS=7
25.Speed=0
26.Keypad=no
27.Backlight=no
28.OutputPort=no
29.Size=20x4
30.CharMap=hd44780_default
31.DelayBus=true

I also tried ConnectionType=rpi, but the LCDD didnt start. Trying to start the LCDD manualy with ConnectionType=rpi caused this error:

LCDd 0.5dev, LCDproc Protocol 0.3

Greetings,

I mean, is not that right?

I thought it would be me.

Thank you for correcting me.

Best regards...

Reading this (update section) might help:

[HOWTO + FAQ] Install community builds on S905/S905X/S912 device

i dont want to be impatient, but may i ask, if anybody is working on this issue? If not i'm going to build a standalone hyperion system...

In this thread Hyperion make lags by HEVC movies a user reported, that he solved the problem by installing the original hyperion. I alo tried that, but id didnt solve the problem.

Maybe somebody else could try this solution to exclude that i've got another problem...

pepeq

Here is a guide Guide - using a Harmony with amlogic devices

To keep you informed what doesnt solve the bug:

Changing window size of the amlgrabber

Changing video cache

Using original hyperion

Using a extra powered usb hub

Disabling/enabling the amlogic hardware accerlation

So i have no idea what else i could do...

STSC: i have the same box. Install to internal. It's much faster

Quote from Ottie

Do you use the Libreelec Hyperion Addon??

I had the same issue with the Libreelec Hyperion Addon, I removed the addon and installed the "normal" hyperion via the "normal" hypercon tool and now the stuttering is gone.

I also tried the "normal" hyperion via "normal" hypercon. But even then i had the stuttering

Is there any progress in solving the mentioned bug? I think several users have this bug:

Hyperion issues: kernel log spam (solved in 8.1.1), playback halting.

lupus11 : could you post your config?

I just tried hyperion from the LE repo. Played a 2 hour 1080p dtshd movie without any issues. I didnt change anything in the advancedsettings.xml.

My system:

M8s ii 2/8 gb

8.0.2e (internal nand)

I'll keep on testing

Edit: livetv stuttering after ca 10 minutes

Edit2: livetv stuttering gone. Could have been a crane in front of the dish

Edit3: i have to correct myself. I have also got the stuttering. The settings marciano postet didnt have any effect

Hi kszaq,

Just tried you new build 8.0.2e and I have problem with PVR addon vu+/enigma2 client. It working properly on 8.0.1k build but now I'm getting "unknown error when starting addon. Can't start addon".

The addon is starting before your network connection is ready. Had the same problen. Somewhere is an option like "wait for starting the addon until network is ready".

Or disable the addon, reboot, wait until network is ready and start the addon manually

Quote from belliash

I understand, but its really hard to use it without remote control.

Actually I cannot get it working even with meson-ir as irrecord does not catch anything.

Suggestion: use kore or yatse in the meanwhile

Quote from willyfan

KII pro, I have a lot of problem when start the system with 3 HD connected to USB ports.
A lot of time, I'm able to see only one HD by time. After many restart, I see all HD but sometimes system restart without reason.
I updated from afl1 build

Have you tried using a usb hub with separate power supply?

Hi! could you solve the problem?

Quote from trogggy

Two ways:
1. Use coreftplite, winscp, filezilla or similar and it's in /.storage/.kodi/.temp

2.In explorer navigate to 'Configfiles' and open the samba.conf.sample in a text editor.
Add the following entries:

Code

[Kodi]
  path = /storage/.kodi
  available = yes
  browsable = yes
  public = yes
  writable = yes
  root preexec = mkdir -p /storage/.kodi


[Storage]
  path = /storage
  available = yes
  browsable = yes
  public = yes
  writable = yes
  root preexec = mkdir -p /storage

Display More

Save the file as samba.conf (make sure you don't make samba.conf.txt!!!). Reboot, and when you open it up in explorer again you'll see the 2 new entries (only the first is needed if you just want to see the log files).

I use number 2.

Ive got a big problem! Did not exactly what trogggy wrote. I created a file called samba.conf and inserted the code as seen in trogggys post. I did not edit the samba.conf.sample. So the content of my samba.conf is only the code of trogggy.

Now when trying to acces via windows username and password is needed...

root libreelec doesnt work. Please help me!

Edit: solved it by renaming the wrong samba.conf via putty

hello!

I have a question before buying a s905x box: is the ch340 driver (for arduino clones) included in the kszaq builds for the s905x boxes?

Thanks!
