  • Audio channels avr hdmi-passthrough

    After some digging...

    Everything at OS level works as expected. Adding following restarts Kodi when Yamaha V6A is turned on and off.

    Code
    /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/75-hdmi-hotplug.rules:
SUBSYSTEM=="drm", ACTION=="change", DEVPATH=="/devices/platform/gpu/drm/card[0-9]", RUN+="/storage/.config/hotplug-monitor"

/storage/.config/hotplug-monitor:
#!/usr/bin/bash
STATUS=$(cat /sys/devices/platform/gpu/drm/card0/card0-HDMI-A-1/status)
[[ "${STATUS}" == "connected" ]] && systemctl --no-block restart kodi

    Not the nicest solution but it works!

    Just for clearance, this issue has nothing to do with Kodi "Audio settings/Allow passthrough"

  • Audio channels avr hdmi-passthrough

    Hi,

    I have following: RPi4* -> Yamaha V6A -> LG OLED65E.

    Start up RPi4 and TV, gets 2.0 sound, which is correct. Yamaha V6A is off and HDMI pass-through is active. Now when I turn on the V6A I still get 2.0. I would like 5.1!

    cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params indicates 2.0, systemctl restart kodi still only 2.0, dmesg nothing indicates V6A has started…

    After a reboot it becomes 5.1, seems like everything detected during startup is what applies.

    Can I get a transition between 2.0 and 5.1 when the V6A is turned on and off?

  • keymaps.xml not working after upgrade to LE11

    I got events even using old format in '/storage/.config/rc_keymaps/nec_yamaha_remote'.

    ir-keytable -t

    Figured out a way to partly get my remote as my old LE9 setup by masking (stopping) eventlircd.

    'systemctl mask eventlircd'

    But the problem is, I need following after reboot:

    udevadm trigger -v /sys/devices/pnp0/00:02/rc/rc0/input10/event10

    systemctl restart kodi

    Some kind of timing thing..

    /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/70-infrared.rules run ir-keytable -a ... could be too late related to kodi.service but I don't know.


    For who ever read this with same issue....

    Seems that eventlircd grabbed kernel events (IR keys) from '/devices/pnp0/00:02/rc/rc0/input10/event10' and transfer stuff to a socket in Kodi.

    Kodi then separated it as remote keys and that's why the need of chaining to <remote>.

    Now without eventlircd my IR keys are the same as a keyboard keys, except above problem.

  • keymaps.xml not working after upgrade to LE11

    After upgrade from LE9 to LE11 I run in to following problem.

    In LE9 keyboard and remote shared the same actions but in LE11 only keyboard is working.

    If I edit keymappings.xml and change <keyboard> to <remote> then the remote start to work for some parts.

    The other thing that happens when changing from <keyboard> to <remote> is that I get a lot of errors on keys that are no longer valid as (like <a> to <z>)

    So the question is can I get back and use only <keyboard> as in LE9 and

    get the events from the remote to act as normal key codes.

    My setup is:

    Mapped keyboard keys in '/storage/.config/rc_keymaps/nec_yamaha_remote':

    And action in '/storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keymappings.xml
