Johannes · LE 8.90.006 : LCDProc broken ? Johannes November 5, 2018 at 12:05 PM

Hi,

I have installed LE 8.90.006 with Kodi 18.0-Beta3 on an Asrock J4105-itx with newest Bios 1.4.

When I install LCPProc 9.0.105 from Libreelec repository I get an error in the journal :

Could not open driver module /storage/.kodi/addons/http://service.lcdd/lib/l: /storage/.kodi/addons/http://service.lcdd/lib/lcdproc/mdm166a.so: undefined symbol: toBCD

Any Idea?

Johannes · Backup LibreELEC with docker Johannes March 26, 2018 at 5:12 PM

ok, I see...

(but looks very surprising if you go deeper in the restored path and end up at / with /boot /etc /lib........ I hope my MacOS has stoped me from polluting my root file system

Johannes · Backup LibreELEC with docker Johannes March 24, 2018 at 1:48 PM

Hi,

I have installed Docker with MariaDB and Portainer (excellent!). When I use the LibreElec built in backup feature and then unpack the tar-file on my desktop to use single files for experiments, strange things happen.

I am aware that the ../.userdata/docker tree includes overlays of the containers, which are in my understanding links. When I unpack the archive does the unpacker try to restore data to the links and "damage" the root file system on my Mac ????

Does anybody know what means restoring the overlays on an other computer ??

Thanks,

1. For me it is ok at the moment. If this is not a generic request we can wait till next official release of LCDproc/LE and then make an safer test ?

2. I did no cross-compile but native on Pi3 with Beta of Max2Play what I think is a Raspbian/Stretch based distribution. I followed exactly the instructions from "fengalin", that means simply clone the original git repo of LCDproc and "make" without all but hd44780. It is a guide for OSMC. I am thinking about doing the same in Pi3 with OSMC but this will produce probably the same positive result. May be I should set up a LE - Cross Compile environment under VMware ? Well, I didn't do that for a while.....?

Then I copied my own LCDd and hd44780.so to LE and it worked !

Johannes · LCDproc for Audiophonics OLED Display Johannes February 27, 2018 at 7:54 AM

I had moved the LCDd, the hd44780.so and the LCDd.conf from my compilation to LE and it worked fine.

Then I deinstalled and deleted anything with the Add-on, install from zip and adjusted the LCDd.conf in "storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.lcdd" and switched in LE to "hd44780" but no success.

Johannes · LCDproc for Audiophonics OLED Display Johannes February 25, 2018 at 9:24 AM

Hi,

I have installed LE on a Audiophonics RaspDAC and I love it! But I could not manage to get the nice display to work (Yes, I have read many posts, installed both addons, carefully edited the lcd.conf etc....). Then I installed Raspbian (Max2Play!) and compiled and installed LCDproc from Github (following those instructions) and, voila, it worked wonderful!

My conclusion is that at Github there is a newer version of the LCDproc than LE has. And when I look at the change-log I see some enhancements concerning the WINSTAR WEH001602 ....

So may I ask if it is possible to get an updated LCD add-on from LE for Raspberry 3 (or at least the hd44780.so) ?

Thanks,

BJ
