If SnapServer doesn't work, I don't get the point. MPD is the way to go. Read here to understand mpd.conf:

MPD Audio output

Does anyone have any pointers for getting this working? I've been tearing my hair out for the last couple of hours. I've got my library scanned and can access it using ncmpcpp on my laptop, the default config has this as the only uncommented audio output:


(Code, 1 line)

which I presume means that the audio is just being sent nowhere, but all kinds of fiddling with either an alsa or pulseaudio output just does nothing for me. I've been trying to follow the guidance on the archwiki but it hasn't…

MPD has client/server architecture, and it should work with multiple clients. I haven't seen people using MPD that way, so you have to figure it out.

A 2GB swap file should do the trick. Be aware that you'll get a lot of read/write access on that swap file. So it might reduce lifetime of your storage device.

PS: Also read this thread to get the idea, how it works:

[RPi4, LE12.0.1] Autostart.sh with python script for fan control won't work

Hey everyone ! Hope you are well !

I am trying to have a fan control script working at startup. I have a Pi 4 with Libreelec 12.0.1 freshly installed with RPi tools addon. Fan is controlled by PWM on PIN 18.

The control script runs well when I use the command: python /storage/fan_control.py

(Code, 64 lines)

I have created an autostart.sh file and it also works (fan is controlled) when I execute sh /storage/.config/autostart.sh

When I boot the Raspberry, the fan is always running at full speed which…

In other words, it only works on LE Generic-Legacy now:

Boblight not working on 12.0 anymore

Hi everybody,
long time LibreElec user, first time forum poster

This morning I upgraded my setup to LibreElec 12.0.0 Legacy Generic.

When starting up LibreElec I get a message from Bob, Boblight that is, telling me that it could not start and that I should read the readme.

I have done some investigation and it looks like Bob requires libboblight.so to be loaded via /usr/lib

But in that location there is no libboblight.so. There is one in…

With and without audio pass-through?

With and without fixed sample-rate?

RE: [RPi5] Bluetooth Dongle on LE12

Ubuntu for RPi4 was even worse result. The dongle shows up but won't connect to anything. I found an interesting resource on the subject regarding BLE dongles and kernel patches: gist.github.com/nevack/6b36b82d715dc025163d9e9124840a07

And some good news: I downloaded and tried out the latest nightly on RPi4 (LibreELEC (community): nightly-20240811-266cfd7 (RPi4.aarch64) ), and it does not seem to have any problems with audio quality. The Sena UD100 dongle is plug and play after adding the…

if #4 doesn't work, you can also create a swap file to increase RAM:

Thread

[How to] Enable swapfile on LibreELEC

From @escalade in Remix

By default LibreELEC does not have a swapfile.

You can enable a swapfile by:

cp /etc/swap.conf /storage/.config

then edit it and change

SWAP_ENABLED="no" to SWAP_ENABLED="yes".

SWAPFILESIZE="128" to your required swapfile size - normally 4 x RAM but RAM should be enough for a normal LE system.

When you reboot, a swapfile the size of SWAPFILESIZE is generated in /storage/.config/swapfile.

Yes, the above link should work for RPi5, too. Eventually you have to use this add-on, instead of the standard version:

RE: Raspberry Pi Legacy Tools Add-on

[…]

HarryH is right. This is not the fault of the Raspberry Pi Tools add-on.
In my case (regular RPi4) the OLEDproc add-on works quite smoothly with the upgraded Raspberry Pi Tools add-on (where rpi-lgpio emulates RPi.GPIO). This is (OLEDproc add-on) the original version of 104 from 2022 unchanged.
But I have upgraded all dependencies.
However, the log presented does not look like a dependency problem. Restarting the RPi helped me with similar problems. Just to be sure, I'm attaching the…

Quote from MoreBloodWine

Bec as far as I can tell, it doesn't... the status bar doesn't seem to show the buffer during playback like it use to.

And that's a serious problem? If so, I can move this thread to bug reports.

PS: Just in case you didn't catched it: <memorysize> is a sub-tag of <cache>, so we talk about cache size, not RAM size.

1GB of cache is a lot on a video stream, so devs are surprised.

Yes. Don't use /storage/.config/system.d/wireguard.service, and write a start script at /storage(.config/autostart.sh instead. So you can use that script to check VPN connectivity before starting WireGuard.

Please check /storage/.cache/services/bluez.conf.

Thanks. We need a complete log then...

Hmm, pretty much the same errors at both logs. I'm not familiar with NXP hardware. Search for cache settings (GUI or advancedsettings.xml), and increase values. Maybe the video needs too much cache with subtitles.

PS: Check whether the crash generates a kodi_crashlog_<TIMESTAMP>.log. If yes, upload it like here:

RE: [x86-64] Unregistered exception handler message when booting

Workflow for kodi.old.log:

• install LE 12.0.1 Generic
• replicate the issue
• restart until LE boots successfully
• login by SSH
• cd .kodi/temp
• cat kodi.old.log | pastebinit
• post the resulting URL

Update to LE 12.0.1. Older versions have an audio channel bug.

Quote from miguel.yarza

• If I play the .mkv file with integrated subtitles and DRM PRIME enabled => SIGSEGV crash.
• If I remove subtitles from the .mkv file with mkvmerge -o output.mkv --no-subtitles input.mkv and DRM PRIME enabled => video plays fine.

Then it's a bug at mkvmerge or DRM Prime. The DRM Prime error should be visible somewhere at kodi.log.
