  • Argon One Fan Control

    Quote from matzo70

    Hi Chook,

    Yes I do have pi and system tools installed along with adafruit libraries.

    I uninstalled the script and done it again using the above method but still not working no fan control. The script says it installed fine but there is an error that says "too many errors from stdin" after installing the script.

    Any ideas?

    I assume you edited the argononed.config file.

    Mine looks like this.

    # Argon One Fan Speed Configuration

    #

    # Min Temp=Fan Speed

    42=12.5

    44=25

    46=50

    48=100

    You should do this by jimmyneutron.


    1. Edit the argonone-config file on line 35, 36, and 37 to reflect:

    echo 55"="10 >> $daemonconfigfile

    echo 60"="55 >> $daemonconfigfile

    echo 65"="100 >> $daemonconfigfile

    2.Edit the argononed.py line 75 to reflect:

    /storage/.config directory

    fanconfig = ["65=100", "60=55", "55=10"]

    2. Create a sh file and name it autostart.sh and in that file copy and paste this script and save:

    place file in /storage/.config directory

    #!/bin/sh

    (

    python /storage/.config/argononed.py

    ) &

    3. Edit the argononed.service file in the /storage/.config/system.d directory and add this command to line 8:

    ExecStart=/bin/sh -c ". /etc/profile; exec /usr/bin/python /storage/.config/argononed.py"

    4. Go to terminal and test by running ./argononed-config

    5. Fan will run at those values.



    It was a long process getting it working. I feel your frustration.

    I am not a coder. but a long time xbmc user.

    Quote from matzo70

    Hello all,

    So I finally got my argon one pi4 case running libreelec 10.0.1. Followed the install instructions with the script and as expected the fan does not work. Power button works fine. The only option I have in the config file is fan on/off but whatever I do the fan does not work.

    Anyway after reading this topic I have tried several things listed here but nothing has worked so far. So what I have done so far is I have installed the modified "argoneone-config" file as mention in the first page (i think about 5 or 6 posts down). What this has done is given me extra options to control the fan ie temp, speed etc. I know this works because it re writes those values I set into the "argononed-conf" file, however fan is still not working.

    Have I missed something here? Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    matzo70.

    This is what I did.

  • Librelec Nightly Dolby Digital transcoding bug

    RPi4 LibreElec11Nightly Dated 20220210.

    I use a Just Boom Digi Hat. I use the SPDIF from this to the AMP.

    SPDIF Passthrough set for AC3 transcoding as per guide.

    Observations via SPDIF to AMP.

    AC3 is good. 5.1 channels indicated and plays fine.

    AAC 2 channel are indicated as 2 channels and plays 2 channels.

    AAC 5.1 channel displays as 2 channels but is silent.

    E-AC3 5.1 channel displays as 2 channels but is silent


    I'll send a log in several hours if it will help.

    FYI: I haven't included the kodi PR to fix this issue in my builds (I'm waiting for it to get merged), the working build linked above is a LE10 build that isn't affected by the bug.

    so long,

    Hias

    Re RPI4 Nighlty.

    I noticed the AC3 transcoding option has reappeared in the latest 20220105 RPI4 nightly. I tried it out on several AAC 5.1 audio videos but got silence. No channels were detected. With AC3 transcoding off I get 2 front channels. The options are simplified by the removal of channel number selector with passthrough selected. It was redundant anyhow.

    I look forward to your changes being implemented.

    regards

  • Argon One Fan Control

    Quote from dudumaroja

    Anyone has the ideia how to install this? seens better for controlling the argon fan..

    https://gitlab.com/DarkElvenAngel/argononed

    You or someone needs to build the daemon. It says to clone the repository and make the requisite files. This seems fine if it were dealing with a myriad of hardware types. If someone has a GIT build environment set up perhaps you could try? My fan and button setup are working fine using previous solutions. So if it isn't broken don't fix it. Perhaps contact the author to contact the developers and post a plugin.

  • Librelec Nightly Dolby Digital transcoding bug

    RPI4 Libreelec 11 Nightlies.

    Regarding Audio Transcoding.

    Are we going to see AAC 5.1 or AC3Plus 5.1 passthrough transcoding to AC3 5.1 anytime?

    It seems the option to transcode AAC was dropped some time ago.

    Currently plays AAC 5.1 and DDP 5.1 audio channels as 2 channels with or without AC3 capability enabled in settings. Sometimes the channels get mixed up. Only option is to listen through the TV speakers.

    Quote from ghtester

    The occasional crashes / kernel panic encountered on LE Nightly 20211224 & RPi 4B.

    Some crashes were due to unexpected USB reset (I am running LE from HDD connected through USB/SATA adapter so the USB disconnect leads to total crash). The current LE Nightly build is less stable than before.

    ghtester,

    I wonder if your HDD is powered or is it powered via USB? Maybe the HDD is drawing too much power from the RPi4. See if a powered USB3.0 hub helps. I use a Targus 4 port USB3.0 hub with a 4A power supply. The USB hub hosts a HDD and my boot SSD.

    Killom,

    I note there are just now two new Nightlies for the Rpi4. The one dated 202112022 works OK but looks like it's a special development release from Hias. The latest one posted just moments ago is dated 20211224. I'll try it when i get a chance.

  • Librelec Nightly Dolby Digital transcoding bug

    Until something happens in this area I have resorted to converting some unplayable AAC 5.1 and E-ac3 files to ec3-5.1 (Dolby Digital) using FFmpeg scripts or Batch Converter. It takes less than a minute to convert the audio in most cases.

    First impressions are good. If you use the "Audio Profiles" add on you can switch to HDMI to passthrough in a second.

    The "Audio Profiles" add on in the Kodi addon / Program add ons repository. Thanks to developers pksout, notoco and Regss.

  • Argon One Pi 4 V2

    When I changed to a 2.0 spec cable the plastic connector molding was a little larger. I use the Argon 1 case. The connector didn't feel right so I marked it out and filed the case so the connector fitted properly. It was a millimeter or two that needed filing so the connector clicked in properly. I guess it depends on your connector.
