  • Docker container's audio to OS

    That file doesn't allow loading modules, so I just used "pactl load-module" in autostart.sh.

    For anyone who finds this thread looking for info, also consider the following:

    • Use the Pulse module "module-udev-detect".

    • Container probably needs to run as root and so do the users in it (for access to Pulse).

    • Won't play audio alongside Kodi if ALSA is used, and UI sounds may need to be turned off for playing while on UI.

  • Docker container's audio to OS

    If Kodi does so on its own, when Kodi says "ALSA" next to the output device, it's also playing directly via ALSA?

    Unless I can make the output go through PulseAudio or I can get Kodi to register devices in asound.conf, I may be screwed.

    First, I need to know if the audio is just going through ALSA directly, because in this article:

    Pulseaudio [LibreELEC.wiki]

    It shows Pulse can play / receive audio, though I'm not sure whether it means simultaneously with Kodi.

  • Docker container's audio to OS

    I tested and /storage/.config/asound.conf still works for me, also "/run" was the correct place for PulseAudio. Great!

    Now I think I've setup a dmix device and it's ALSA's default, but how can I make Kodi use it? Since it's not in "settings > system > audio > audio output device", would I need some startup arguments for Kodi? The output I used for dmix doesn't appear in Kodi anymore, presumably because it's being used on boot.

    I know with PulseAudio, all you need to do is make a sink and Kodi should pickup the device.

  • Docker container's audio to OS

    Solved most of the questions here apart from one: multiple audio streams. The solution is dmix, but the file I need is read only: /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf

    This may be the wrong file, as the official ALSA wiki says it's /etc/asound.conf, but that doesn't exist in LibreELEC.

    Please could someone at LibreELEC point me to the correct file to write to, if possible? :)

  • Docker container's audio to OS

    I have a docker container running with PulseAudio inside. Where should I create a docker volume to from LibreELEC, so PulseAudio can detect the correct device from the container, or so I can manually set it as a sink (output)?

    And is it possible to have LibreELEC use the device alongside the docker container, or will I need to use separate outputs?


    Appreciate any directions.

  • Environment variables + node.js

    Tried that and NODEJS_HOME is set, but PATH isn't. Is PATH being overwritten by something else?

    node.js.profile:

    Code
    export NODEJS_HOME=/storage/nodejs/node-v10.15.3-linux-armv6l
export PATH=$PATH:$NODEJS_HOME/bin

    PATH stays as:

    Code
    export PATH='/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/storage/.kodi/addons/service.system.docker/bin'

  • Environment variables + node.js

    Silly me, thought it was 64 bit. The error was "-sh: node: not found" so assumed I was doing something wrong, but it works with 32 bit.

    That aside, how can I set environment variables without them resetting after reboot or closing ssh session?

  • Environment variables + node.js

    The folder does exist. If it's relevant, I'm using a custom build for Amlogic S912 by kszaq.

    I tried a fresh OS install and the problem still exists. If there's a way to set environment variables for global use (not just ssh session or bash script) I could test that?

  • Environment variables + node.js

    I'm trying to install and create environment variables for node.js.

    I know it can be installed via docker, but not sure how I would create environment variables for a docker container, so I tried running manually.

    I've unpacked node.js (linux / arm64) and used the export command in bash:

    Code
    export NODEJS_HOME=/storage/nodejs/node-v10.15.3-linux-arm64
export PATH=$PATH:$NODEJS_HOME/bin
echo `node -v`

    This doesn't work even within the same bash script; it says node can't be found.

    I'm a complete newb, sorry if the solution is obvious... thanks for any help.
