Hi,

I know this is coming late, but might help other people.

The issue might be that Kodi was muted via webif before I started the update, but I've never verified that.

Hi,

just wondering if someone has already started investigating to run Kodi / Libreelec as a receiver for AMD Link?

For those who dont know what AMD Link is: You can stream and control your games running on your PC on/to a remote device, like a phone or tablet, similar to Nvidia Gamestream or Steam remote play: https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/radeon-software-amdlink

Afaik Steam remote play is not working on Libreelec and Nvidia Gamestream is (of course) not working with AMD cards.

Hi,

sorry, thats my system:

CPU: Celeron G1820

Mobo: Asus Q87T (with latest uefi)

Internal CEC-Adaptor (FW v9)

Sound and video both used fromCPU.

TV: Panasonic TX-50ASW654

AVR: Onkyo TX-SR444

HTPC connected to AVR connected to TV (HDMI)

Hi,

just upgraded to 902, now the sound is gone and Kodi shows a red mute icon in the upper right corner.

Found some suggestions via google, but nothing is working:

-unmute via kore, nothing happens

-unmute via webif, nothing happens

-F8 or + key, actually the AVR does something (OSD), but no sound from kodi

-restart HTPC, no change

-power off TV & AVR and disconnect from power, no change

-replug HDMI cable, no change

-switch sound device, no change (but AVR "clicks")

Sound is working from different source on the AVR, so definetly a problem with Kodi.

Also sound was fine right before the upgrade.

Is there anything else i can test before burning anything?

thanks

Hi,

This is form LE7, maybe it is the same on LE8?
Settings -> Video -> Accerleration -> Limit GUI Updates during Playback

wow you are fast.
I think i will stay on your LE7 build until you have more time... .

btw, is it possible to buy you a beer w/o a paypal account?

Hi,

another ct v6 owner here.
has somebody already tested if the card is working with LE8?

Hello,

same with peters build, 5ghz network not found.
maybe because my adaptor has the RTL8811 chipset and not RTL8812?

Hi,

sory for late response.
u could try to compress them with TinyPNG – Compress PNG images while preserving transparency
for example, my 80 channel icons are ~8,3kb with ~512pixels width.

just give it a try, maybe it works.

Hi,

what (file-)size are your picons?

Hello,

that means that the Cable-drivers from your repo are the same as the normal from dd?

Just checked:
Settings -> Video -> Accerleration -> Limit GUI Updates during Playback

Quote from pepesuriano

[...]
The only issue is that if you use kodi GUI (change between menus or something like that when having a tv channel tunned) it get a little stucked, tv fps reduce and kodi gui moves really slow, my raspberry shows an average of 15% of cpu use for 4 cores and also a 15% of ram used, could be something wrong?

Hello,

as far as i know on the pi there is an fps-lock for gui rendering while playback.
i am experiencing the same with my pi 2, but on my HTPC (Haswell based) anything is smooth.

@topic: first, thank you for your work.
Digital Devices Cine C/T v6 is working with your build, but on some channels i got playback problems.
i already know that the cable connection is not the best here, mybe the crazycat drivers are not yet handling "bad signal situations" as good as the dd-drivers?
we will check the connection with special equipment and maybe i will blame my provider.

Hi,

i am not sure how to use dmesg, hope this is correct? LibreELEC:~ # lsusb Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:0811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp - Pastebin.com
I have also tested v7.90.003 ALPHA, same problem.
2,4Ghz seems to be working, 5ghz not.

Powersupply is this one with 2,5A:
Offizielles Raspberry Pi 3 Netzteil schwarz - 2,5A/5V: Amazon.de: Computer & Zubehör
No other USB hardware is connected to the Pi.

Hi,

5ghz is working with OpenELEC 6.0.3 on the same pi with same psu (at the same position).
On LibreELEC it shows 2,4ghz networks, so i think the adapter is recognized. but i will check out with lsusb and dmesg.

Hello!

I am using an raspberry pi 2 as LiveTV streaming client, currently running OpenELEC 6.0.3. I just tested out LibreELEC 7.0.2, but it does only recognize 2,4ghz networks from the neighborhood and not my 5ghz network. Unfortunately 2,4ghz is unusable here for streaming. (Found over 140 networks with Vistumbler without leaving my home... )
is this a known issue, maybe 5ghz is not supported yet? is there anything i can test out without any programming skills?

USB-Dongle: CSL AC450 with Realtek RTL8811 chipset
Access Point: Ubiquiti Unifi AP AC Pro with latest firmware

thank you for your help.
