Does it work at boot if you add the trigger to autostart.sh?

Yes, that was the first thing I did after discovering the problem and it works perfectly (using 9.0.2 now).

I'm going to reactivate this thread since I found something interesting. I think I stumbled upon the solution when I was trying 9.1.002 which has the very same problem.

If you simply do:

LibreELEC:~ # systemctl stop kodi
LibreELEC:~ # udevadm trigger
LibreELEC:~ # systemctl start kodi

...everything will work again. So my guess is that whatever udevadm trigger does has be performed before Kodi is started in the boot up process.

Yes, it's possible, read here. You can start a Python script

Great, thx

I would like to make some keys on the remote connected to LE control a device not connected to it. For example to control the lightning in the room with home Assistant. Any ideas of how that would be possible?

With LE 8.2.5 using a RPI 1+ I added the following into a file called 99-keyboard.hwdb in the folder configfiles/hwdb.d :

1. # RF Remote
2. evdev:input:b0003v2319p0014*
3. KEYBOARD_KEY_090001=enter

This file worked just fine to enable the button in kodi for 8.2.5. But in LE 9.0.1 and 9.0.2 this has no effect at all. Is this a bug or should I do it some other way in 9.x?

It turns out this should not be a question, it should be a bug report. I downgraded to 8.2.5 and it worked straight away. It did not work with LibreELEC 9.0.1 on a RP 1+. Maybe the moderator could move this to the bug report section instead.

wrong thread, sorry

KEYBOARD_KEY_090001=enter

Is it KEYBOARD_KEY_090001=enter or KEYBOARD_KEY_0x90001=enter or something else entirely?

Thank you, but the remote is not a IR remote. It's a rf remote with a usb dongle. The missing buttons, can be seen when using getscancodes :

getscancodes /dev/input/event0
589825 (0x90001)
589826 (0x90002)

so I tried to make a file in /hwdb.d/ called 99-keyboard.hwdb:

# RF Remote
evdev:input:b0003v2319p0014*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_090001=enter

...but it doesn't work. I would be very thankful for any help with this. I've been spending more hours trying to get this to work than I'd like to admit.

For some reason the rf remote I just bought insist on using mouse button presses for the OK button and the back button. If I have "mouse and touchscreen support" deactivated in kodi, those are not key events I can detect. If I have it activated, I get the button presses but also the mouse pointer which I don't want.

I tried to make a mouse.xml file and place it in userdata/keymaps, that deactives movements with:

...
<mousedrag>noop</mousedrag>
<mousemove>noop</mousemove>
....

...but that doesn't work. I'm not sure if LE even notices the file. The mouse.xml file in /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/ is write protected. What should I do?

I discovered to my great enjoyment that it's really easy to add spdif audio output to an old RPI 1-B (using LibreELEC (Leia) 9.0.0) with a simple usb sound-card. It was as simple as plugging it in and choosing the setting in the Kodi menu after a reboot. Nicely done!

However, there is no setting to have the hdmi audio and alsa spdif output audio simultaneously as you can with the regular pi 3.5 mm analog output. Is there anything I can do to enable that?

I've tried to google this of course but didn't find anything promising. I was hoping that some new possibilities were introduced with the latest Kodi and Libreelec. Any ideas?

I've now tested with 8.90.008 ALPHA, with the 4.0.3. It still doesn't work. I can't figure it out. This is the output from CEC-client during the disconnect:

It's very strange. You can use kodi's CECActivateSource in order to bring back CEC at any time.

Great, thank you for letting me know.

It seems they fixed the problem in osmc when libcec was updated.

I'm using a RPI 1 but it seems several RPI models have this problem. I'm have tried 8.90.007 and 8.2.5. I'm fairly hopeful that this problem has been fixed in latest libcec 4.0.3. Since the change log states:

Quote

* send an active source message when a routing change has been received with

libCEC's address as new route and no active source message has been sent

yet. issue #309 #205 #233

Issue 309 is Kodi Wake up from tv doesn't work

The libcec used in 8.90.007 is 4.0.2 and 4.0.1 for 8.2.5. If this updated libcec 4.0.3 could be included in the next iteration of your amazing creation, it would be much appreciated. The wife is less then pleased with me each time I have to manually activate CEC for her, so you would really be helping me out. Thank you.
