anyone tried a leelbox s1?

As far as hardware goes im not sure what the wifi device is alli got is

S905X Quad core Cortex A53 Android 6.0

1GB ram

8GB Flash

100mb ethernet

WIFI 2.4GHz Only

Hdmi is able to reproduce 4k

Ill prob have a go at the weekend.

If i knew the device i would compile a specific build. But i have no idea whats on it

i think all versions of rpi can do passthrough. but they cannot do dts-hd or dolby truehd

Can still passthrough pcm dolby and dts though.

Also it helps to have media that has the 5.1 stream if its 2 channel stream it will upmix to all speakers.. well my sony 5.1 does this ok

Only prob with rpi is its not hdmi 2.0 so no true 4k. I personally use multiple devices. Including android boxs that are hdmi2.0. And rpi3/1 the rpi 1 - 3 will play 1080p with no issues whatsever and passthrough the pcm audio

Ok i could uae this

xbmc.executebuiltin('RunPlugin("plugin.video.something")')

And install random movie plugin.

However how do i call the above script from a gpio /dev/gpio?

sorry should have said i can do the software install and the hardware and the gpio hardware.. its just the gpio scripting and how to control the random playback of a button press im having an issue with

If not random maybe round robin playlist style

hi all..

Just after some direction from you gods of kodi

Im going setup a tv/pi in my childrens playroom. Im trying to have it so that when they press a big physical button on the wall. Kodo plays a random movie from their collection. Is this possible in libreelece?

Thanks

so basically with microsft actually doing and update to skype for linux ( albeit no video calls as yet) i was going to add chrome and jitsi but i think ill stick with skype. problem is we will need uvcvideo enabled in the kernel i think its CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS=y or m whichever. v4l2 is enabled but it still does not recognize my v4l camera without the uvcvideo config

so im thinking adding skype the same sort of way you have emulationstation. basically its so my mum and dad dont have to wire up their laptop everytime to use skype since microsoft/samsung pulled the app from the samy tvs.
it makes sense to try and use the rpi3 as they already have it.

i tried make menuconfig but this doesnt exist... ill just build it (already started)

this could all come crashing down if i cant find a skype that works on arm though however skype web works ok still no video calling yet though, i think it would probably be easier to get chrome working and use jitsi.si or google hangout possibly

Quote from Gaudi

Now that Microsoft has launched Skype for Linux, it should be feasible to create an Addon for Skype.
This will make the use of LibreELEC and Kodi even more compelling.

Yer no video calling the mo tho

shame, there must be a way are there any other options other than make -j 4 image? seems a bit mental having to rebuild the entire system.

Quote from escalade

I'm unfamiliar with ucvideo, so can't comment on that. You can absolutely clone my github and build yourself. At the moment you would need to comment out the emulators in the "oem" package of your target, but I've been thinking to make it a configurable option like EMULATORS="yes/no".

I've just uploaded new builds, and now I include SABnzbd, Transmission and Sonarr.

To start them do "systemctl enable service ; systemctl start service" in SSH, where service is either "transmission", "sabnzbd" or "sonarr".

Transmission: libreelec:9091
SABnzbd: libreelec:9092
Sonarr: libreelec:8989

Hopefully useful to others who want more from their HTPC's

I've packaged Emby as well, but I'm having some build issues with one of the dependencies for RPi. For Generic it works fine, but after trying it I much prefer Plex. Anybody know if it would be OK license wise to include it in a LE community build?

excellent, your builds are cool..
the uvcvideo is basically webcam drivers built into the kernel. what i want to do is change the kernel config and rebuild just the kernel. i wasnt asking for you to build it. ill do it i just need a little instruction. have a clone of your repo and found the kernel options file,, just a case of rebuilding just the kernel. but i dont know how to specify just the kernel

hi

how would i enable uvcvideo ? is it just a case of

un comment CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS
and add =y or =m ? and rebuld ?

also is there a way i can just compile the kernel.img again with out all the emu station and kodi ?

cheers

i have been trying my hardest to find an alternative to skype (mum and dads skype has dissapered from their tv apps, thanks microsoft)
Ok so we all now skype kinder sux on linux.
what im after doing is using Jitsi in Docker. Obviously it will need some basic webcam drivers.. before i go and create one is there an image floating around anywhere with basic webcam stuff and Chrome ?

Ta

HI Escalade

i have followed you from OE,,, looks like LE is a much friendlier place

i dont want to hi jack your thread for your new build but have you got a docker image with chrome for the rpi2/3 ?

Cheers
again fantastic build !!!!
