Use pin #02 (5V) and pin #14 (Ground). No script needed (I hope).

Yeah, this is the wrong spot to ask for working cams.

Better switch to a Raspbian forum.

Have a look at my instructions (post #9). I'm using an LED, which indicates power-on. That could be your fan.

Just in case, here are my instructions: Click!

Currently dev's are pretty busy to build the next stable release, so I think you don't have to wait very long.

Code

GPIO.wait_for_edge(3, GPIO.FALLING)

subprocess.call(['shutdown', '-h', 'now'], shell=False)

Surround it by try / except:

try:
    GPIO.wait_for_edge(3, GPIO.FALLING)
    subprocess.call(['shutdown', '-h', 'now'], shell=False)
except:
    pass

1: Switch de-interlacing off. Read here how to do it.

2 (optional): If suggestion 1 fails, try the other settings described in that thread. You should set the GUI settings to expert mode.

satfan The code looks OK, I'm using the same import. Maybe you are using wrong apostrophe signs at the sys.path.append line.

Connection to your WLAN cam failed, google "failed to initiate sched scan". Try with LAN cable.

Set de-interlacing mode to "none". You can access that setting when playing a stream. It's inside the gear wheel menu (bottom right).

The basic idea is to create a /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml with key mappings. For context menu at blue button it's:

<keymap>
  <global>
    <remote>
      <blue>ContextMenu</blue>
    </remote>
  </global>
</keymap>

A full list of Kodi key mappings can be found here: Click!

There isn't a kodi.log file on the microsd card.

You can activate logging (log level 1 or 2 will do) by creating an advancedsettings.xml.

You probably have to add an udev rule: Click!

You can attach the HDD to the RPi, if you put it into a case. RPi has good software support, which is important to be future-proofed. I think an RPi is a minimalist solution.

I don't have anything against old hardware, I just wouldn't invest more money into it.

If Full-HD is OK, then an RPi3B+ will do for most streaming services.

Really? That processor is more than 10 years old.

If you invest into a mini-PCI-e graphic card, you will still suffer from slow data bus. That's a bottleneck for modern media formats.

Better use your money for a new Intel NUC or an RPi4B, depending on the media standards you want to play.

I understand however could you then not restore those two posts and edit to remove all the links or all but the first link?

I spent some time putting the text together and the posts were just deleted by so I can not restore and edit them myself.

Yes, that's fair. I've been restored your two posts, and removed most of the links.
