  • Vice64 addon: how to load a floppy image

    Hi,

    I recently installed Vice64 but I just cannot find a way to load a floppy image.

    I installed the Linux version on my desktop PC and found out that the keyboard shortcut is something like Alt-A, Alt-1 to Alt-8. But neither of them work on LibreElec.

    On Libreelec I attached a basic USB gamepad and can now open and navigate the main menu (Select-X) and close the emulator (Select-Start) using this controller. I also can control this using a standard usb keyboard. But I just cannot find a way to access the file-open menu.

    thank you very much

  • cannot install vice64 addon

    Thanks. Works now.

    Would be nice to have some basing error handling so you don't have to dig through logs for simple problems like this. ^^

    yeah, wondered about the LE11 repo too. maybe it was switched after the server came back online? as a lot of my addons have been updated now, where in normal operation there are only few updates.

  • cannot install vice64 addon

    Hi,

    I just updated my Libreelec11@raspi4 to version 12.

    I could not start vice64 any more, so I uninstalled it.

    Now I cannot install it any more.

    It looks like it does not know where to find the install package?

    any idea?

    thanks


    Edit: addons.libreelec.tv is down? more than a week? what's up? and why does it load from 11.0.0 repo?

  • LE11@RPI4 force HDMI output without EDID

    Hi,

    Since LE11 does not work well on the RP3 I just upgraded to RPI4.

    During this process I finally solved my monitor problem where LE9 always needed to wait for the monitor to boot before switching on. I simply added the line

    Code
    hdmi_force_hotplug=1

    to config.txt. Issue solved.


    Now the RPI4 does not bring any picture after the boot up rainbow. I tried the above hack, but it did not help.

    I checked edid info and it looks like the tv is invisible to LE11.

    Code
    # dump-active-edids
error: no active connectors found
# kmsprint 
Connector 0 (32) HDMI-A-1 (disconnected)
  Encoder 0 (31) TMDS
Connector 1 (42) HDMI-A-2 (disconnected)
  Encoder 1 (41) TMDS

    So, is there any way to force Full HD to one the outputs?

    thank you very much.

  • HEVC / 265 files on a Pi 3B, around 11Mbit, it can't keep up....

    Quote from jbinkley60

    Raspberry Pi CPU utilization results:

    30 fps @ 1080P 60 fps @ 720P
    7 mbs 70% 65%
    12 mbs 88% 75%
    15 mbs 100% 85%
    20 mbs 100% failed 90% failed
    25 mbs 100% failed 92% failed

    Am I doing something wrong?

    My file is 1.5 mbs and it just lags.

    Well, it does not crash and audio is not out of sync.

    but it's dropping frames massively. CPU load is rather high. Frame rate goes as low as 8.

    It's full HD@25 frames, Main@L4@Main

    any idea?

    thanks

  • Terratec CINERGY TC2 Stick does not work - actually works with correct firmware and correct muxes

    thanks, posting random links does not help. ;)

    I am rather sure it's not about power.

    I tried two different self powered hubs.

    I use the original raspberry power supply and the USB device uses less than 200 mA / less than 1 Watt when in use. (the rest went to USB hub and power supply, because I measured the brut amount)

    problem does not happen on PC.

    But it's ok. I give up. ;)

  • Terratec CINERGY TC2 Stick does not work - actually works with correct firmware and correct muxes

    Ok. Tried an external powered hub.

    It draws 2 W including power supply and hub. Not that much.

    Rasberry draws 3 to 5 Watts w/o DVB.

    I got it.

    It works when it has been booted before.

    I thought it is something about warm or cold state, but no.

    If it is the first boot since power-up of the stick, the log shows the following.

    Code
    [    4.852221] usb 1-1.3.4: new high-speed USB device number 6 using dwc_otg

    when rebooting without power cycling the dvb stick, everything works fine.

    Code

    I searched through the kernel source but I just cannot find out what this error code stands for. any hints?

  • Terratec CINERGY TC2 Stick does not work - actually works with correct firmware and correct muxes

    It works in LibreElec and on PC/Ubuntu.

    But on LibreElec 11 the USB stick does not come up on boot-up. I have to remove and re-insert it.

    There should be a simple solution, but I don't know it ;)

    I think this is triggered bei udev?

    dmesg log of bootup is here:

    http://ix.io/4K1e

    dmesg log of remove and reinsert USB device is here:

    http://ix.io/4K1d

    My provider is Synvia. They deliver FTTH (fiber internet). In my flat they mounted a converter from fiber to cable and LAN. No idea what it does.

    The symbol rate seems to be 6,900,000 for all muxes.

    one of the above was wrong. good one is

    c8e089c351e9834060e962356f8697b8 dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw

    (fixed it in my post, but couldn't in your quote)

    not sure if the vendor id really makes trouble. the stick works fine, even if I do not blacklist the other driver and it is loaded.

    thanks.

  • Terratec CINERGY TC2 Stick does not work - actually works with correct firmware and correct muxes

    Yeah, thanks. The device actually works. Problem was I didn't know the exact symbol rates.

    There are a ton of sources for firmware, not all identical, some broken.

    I made it work with these

    Code
    $ md5sum *
d8da7ff67cd56cd8aa4e101aea45e052  dvb-demod-si2168-02.fw
c8e089c351e9834060e962356f8697b8 dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw

  • Terratec CINERGY TC2 Stick does not work - actually works with correct firmware and correct muxes

    This is a completely different device.

    but that was the plan already in the first place.

    Trying different platforms to make it work.

    My backup laptop broke down yesterday while tring to build 6.5 kernel.

    Got another spare PC now for experimenting.

    ps: seems like one of the firmware files was bad. replaced it and now I get the "buggy device" messages again. So same state as on the PC.

    see http://ix.io/4JKR

    next try is compiling 6.5 kernel

    but maybe I should give up trying on libreelec for now. Will mark the thread as "given up".

    thanks to all people who tried to help.
