Yes, this way it is (much) better :

import xbmc, xbmcgui
xbmc.executebuiltin("ReloadSkin()")

Workaround script documented here :

Scripting output switching (hdmi/dvi/etc...) + Applying a work around

vpeter:

In fact I did try the pyton sleep command, but it did not work.

And this xbmc sleep command is not documented here : List of built-in functions - Official Kodi Wiki

I did try it, and it finally work:

To change output :

import xbmc, xbmcgui
xbmc.executebuiltin('Dialog.Close(all,true)')
xbmc.executebuiltin("ActivateWindow(systemsettings)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Right)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Select)")
xbmc.sleep(4000)
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Left)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Select)")
xbmc.sleep(2000)
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Back)")

And to apply work around (change skin, and change it back. Prerequisite : having 2 skin installed):

import xbmc, xbmcgui
xbmc.executebuiltin('Dialog.Close(all,true)')
xbmc.executebuiltin("ActivateWindow(interfacesettings)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Right)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Select)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Down)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Select)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("Dialog.Close(all,true)")
xbmc.sleep(2000)
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Left)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Select)")
xbmc.sleep(2000)
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Select)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Down)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Select)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("Dialog.Close(all,true)")
xbmc.sleep(2000)
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Left)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Select)")
xbmc.sleep(1000)
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Back)")

vpeter : it seems to work like that, thank you

I created restart_kodi.py that call shell script

import xbmc, xbmcgui
xbmc.executebuiltin('System.Exec(systemd-run /storage/restart_kodi.sh)')

And trigger it from a key configured in

/storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml

Hello,

I know that to restart kodi from ssh, you have to use following command :

systemctl restart kodi

I would like to be able to trigger such a command from kodi but I did not manage to do it.

1st Try : Trigger a pyton script from /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml

Python script :

import xbmc, xbmcgui

xbmc.executebuiltin('System.Exec(systemctl restart kodi)')

=> It does not work

2nd Try : Trigger a .sh script from /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml

And .sh file is :

systemctl restart kodi

It does not work neither.

Does anyone know how to make it work?

Hello.

As there is a bug when switching output (cf Display bug when switching output from hdmi to dvi or dvi to hdmi) , I would like to script output change + applying work around.

The script is launched from a keyboard shortcut configured in /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml

Here is what I did so far :

1st pyton script that change output :

import xbmc, xbmcgui

xbmc.executebuiltin('Dialog.Close(all,true)')

xbmc.executebuiltin("ActivateWindow(systemsettings)")

xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Right)")

xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Select)")

xbmc.executebuiltin('Dialog.Close(all,true)')

It works, but I don't manage to close last dialogbox by confirming "Yes"

Then I apply my workaround (change skin by script) :

import xbmc, xbmcgui

xbmc.executebuiltin('Dialog.Close(all,true)')

xbmc.executebuiltin("ActivateWindow(interfacesettings)")

xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Right)")

xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Select)")

xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Down)")

xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Select)")

xbmc.executebuiltin("Dialog.Close(all,true)")

But same problem, I don't manage to confirm and close last dialogbox (Cf ConfirmSkinSwitch.jpg).

Does anyone know how I could emulate confirmation to those dialogbox using xbmc.executebuiltin within my script?

Thanks

Attached the output after changing output : AfterSwitch_Milhouse-20171228214630.jpg

The only way to get kodi working again is to restart it : systemctl restart kodi

Unfortunately, I don't know how to launch such a command from kodi ( I did try

xbmc.executebuiltin('System.Exec(systemctl restart kodi)') but it does not work).

Conclusion : I revert back to 8.2. I will create another topic to enhance scripting of switching output + applying workaround

I did try with "LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.0-Milhouse-20171228214630". It's worst, I get a black screen with a white square on top right. It is then Impossible to apply the work around described previously

Summary :

When I used OpenElec with an older version, I was able to switch from DVI to HDMI and HDMI to DVI, without any display issue.

Now, I am still able to switch, but the display becomes horrible. I have to apply a work around to make it usable.

If initial openelec version is needed please let me know. I would need to restore it to have its version.

The LibreELEC version you are running :

=================================

In most cases a full debuglog

========================

Please Find it attached : kodi.log

Tell us the complete steps how to face the issue, so we can try to reproduce

==============================================================

Initial state : display on DVI

Go to System/Settings/Display

You will get output : BeforeSwitching.jpg

Click on "Monitor" to switch (switch to hdmi then switch back to dvi )

It work, but you will get output : AfterSwitching.jpg (horrible, can't read most of label)

WorkAround :

===========

Go to Interface / Settings / Skin

Switch to another skin (confluence in the example)

Display is fixed : AfterChangingSkin.jpg

I can then change back to the intial skin, and it is still ok

Maybe if skin was automatically reinitialized after switching from an output to another it would work?
