My, its nice to talk to the local HOTSHOTS

Finally found it - in General | Base

I think you're right. My i7 laptop idles around 40ºC, my old core2 duo idled at around 25ºC. I didn't get worried until the RPi3 started showing a flickering icon in the corner which when I wandered over to the TV turned out to be a thermometer. I think it should have been accompanied by a message "please strap ice cube to case"

<<But I m sure that setting was there since forever>>

You have 10 parameters in that section, mine only has 4. Its not a major problem since it happens infrequently and I have a workround.

Our lounge normally runs 16ºC to 20ºC but with its south facing window and a good sunny day it can reach 28ºC. The latter doesn't happen very often I'm happy to say.

I agree with you about not wanting to hear fans spinning up and down which is why I was thinking about temperature controlled just to stop the cpu boiling itself. I'll give the Flirc case a go and see what happens.

Living in the Scottish Highlands we don't get many hot days but last year we did get some and my RPi3 did display its little thermometer icon (took me a while to figure out what it was). Its in an aluminium case with heatsinks fitted so I'm thinking give the RPi4 some extra cooling.

Is there a reason for recommending against a fan or is it preference? I understand that most of the time it will run cool enough which is why I want a controlled rather than on all the time one.

I remember that you recommended ditching the Argone One case and since LibreElec is now getting to the point where I can use my TV remote (just need a few weird key presses - including the eHelp key! - to enable the FF, rewind & stop buttons) I need to start looking for a new case. Are there any you can recommend with a temperature controlled fan?

TIA

I'll remember that for when I switch to the RPi4 - thanks

My version is Build: 4.2.8-36 ~ LibreELEC Tvh-addon v9.2.0.123 (2020-08-24T19:03:55-0400)

Running on RPi3. I have a couple of issues with CEC on my RPi4 but I'm hoping to change to that shortly.

Definitely not my version - for starters I don't have pretty colours

Maybe when I switch to the RPi4

Whilst I didn't use "Use Windows-compatible filenames" as I indicated this is already set

Mario77

Where is "Remove all unsafe characters from filename:"? I don't seem to have it in my version

I have Windows-compatible filenames: set and it works for an actual programme name, unfortunately a folder name can still contain banned characters (eg : as in NEW: Ipcress File) which makes it awkward to transfer to Windows. The only way I've found so far is to SSH in and rename the folder, copy it and then rename back.

Is there a switch in TVHeadend that I've missed?

Thanks for the suggestion - "unfortunately" today its working properly. I might even have figured out how to get the TV's remote working.

On the other hand there are days when I think the best solution to a computer is a large hammer!!!!

I'm continuing my quest to move from RPi3 to RPi4. I'm using the nightly LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20220315-8dd01e5.img.gz sometimes the Pi will boot others it won't, even though I've waited 15 minutes for it to do so. I've tried with TV turned on, TV turned off. NO difference.

Any suggestions?

Just thought I'd try the latest nightly. Still much the same but with the coloured buttons on the TV remote doing different things than they did the last time I tried.

RPi4 back in its box for a month or two

I know!!!!!

The link to the keymap editor is what (I hope) I was after. Thanks.

The other link was interesting but I'm reasonably certain that the remote is producing the correct codes - it works perfectly withe the RPi3, just not the RPi4.

Having found that FF & rewind was working I decided to persevere with LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20220218-29c7284.img so had a few more goes.

I eventually found that setting the HDMI port from 1 to 3 and the physical port from 3000 to 0 partially worked. I say partially because only some of the buttons work, others (STOP, FF, Rewind, PAUSE) do not.

My current assumption is that I need to edit remote.xml keymap. If so would it be possible to copy one from my RPi3? If not is there a simple guide anywhere? I'm reading through https://kodi.wiki/view/CEC and following links but its certainly not what I'd call simple

At least I'm making some sort of progress

Thanks for those, I'll be reading thoroughly later but from my quick skim through I think I didn't explain properly. It looks as though the information you supplied relates to using an IR receiver on the Pi rather than what I'm doing with the RPi3 and want to do with the RPi4 which is use the TV remote through the TV & HDMI to control KODI.

I do have a mini wifi keyboard attached to the Pi which I use but my wife is allergic to it and will only use the TV remote. As I say - no problem with the RPi3 but the RPi4 will not co-operate.

Right off to read the wiki in detail.

I tried the nightly LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20220218-29c7284.img

Very pleased to see that FF & rewind for MP4s was working but still no joy with getting the TV remote to control KODI (tried all suggestions I've been given previously) So I'm still in the position of the RPi3 works with the remote but not the RPi4

I can see the TV's light flickering as it receives the signal. Is there a way to see if the signal from the remote reached KODI on the RPi4 and if so what arrived there?
