If you have a static content in your folder, you can use an autostart script to play the playlist for that folder.
If you have dynamic content in your folder, it's more difficult. Then you have to deal with playlist updates, and how to deal with already playing files. My suggestion for dynamic content is to upload a new playlist together with every new video file.
You mean as Android version..Right?
Yep, the Kodi Android app. Android has all the API's to do all media handling with excellent performance. There is really no need to build an own OS for the Shield.
so LE not supported until now!?
To my knowledge, it's not. There is no reason, because LE is a Kodi port, and Kodi already runs fine on the Shield.
The Kodi app should do it for the Shield.
I have no advice how to control fan speed by LE. The GUI is running significantly smother since 9.0, so I think multi-threading is the cause. That's a sign of good programming.
You can connect the fan cables directly to the PSU. Then you have constant fan speed, which is maybe not that loud.
Well that's why I would welcome a statement from the developers.
Because I would like to know the facts rather than talk about the edge, chances and limitations.
I agree. We need more transparency about what happens under the hood. Something like a pop-up window, which describes the cause of a disabled feature.
Format the whole disk. After that, you should have a single Windows-readable partition. Then run the LE installer. The LE installer will reformat the disk, and you will get the two mentioned partitions - now with the right size of the FAT partition.
When LE formats a storage device, the FAT partition is usually small, and the majority is taken by the Linux partition. Please check the size of the FAT partition. As user chewitt mentioned, you can use "GParted Live" a) to shrink the Linux partition and b) expand the FAT partition.
Of course you can start from scratch, too. A fresh installation will take the right FAT partition size.
Every example should be classified by hardware and software decoding. When using hardware decoding, DD+ has a better chance to work.
I think it's a hardware limitation of the Raspberry Pi, not a bug. By using Netflix and it's software decoding standard, you're pretty much on the edge with an RPi. If you must have maximum audio quality on Netflix, buy an Intel NUC, an Nvidia Shield TV or something like that.
Does Bluetooth really participates from the HifiBerry+ DAC? I thought the DAC only affects analogue output signals.
You can try the "Bluetooth Audio Device Changer" add-on, but I'm not sure about it's simultaneous playback abilities.
Take into account to buy an HDMI audio splitter instead. It makes you indepandant of any driver issues, and you'll get an optical out for less money.
Of course. But this is not the issue here
Yes, I just had a look at the Git project. Now I think, it's a wrong binary, too. The project should be recompiled.
Whatever the full path is, he will know about it.
But there is a difference between "./gpio" and ". gpio".
You mean directly in the program's folder or in /bin ?
In the program folder it results in this:
Odroid:~/.kodi/addons/service.wiringPi/bin # .gpio
-sh: .gpio: not found
The space between the point and the program name is missing at your command.
Do "<point><space>gpio" in the folder of your program. Or use the full path:
. <full-path-to-folder>/gpioMaybe you have to run it in the same shell environment. Try ". gpio" at your bin folder.
PS: You can shrink the Linux partition to create a 120GB Windows partition. The rest of the Linux partition will still have enough space for all temporary files. After that, you will see the new partition like having a Windows formatted USB stick on your RPi. You can use GParted Live to reformat micro SD.
Yes, the Linux partition contains default folders for your content ("music", "pictures", "videos"). You can reformat the micro SD, and add a windows partition, if you don't want to use a client program for copying.
