Hi,

the reply of the above curl-channelswitching-cmd is

Code

{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"OK"}

I have to attach a display to the Raspi to see what's going on

EDIT:

After some time (about ~1 minute) the program switches. Strange

Doing another test the switching is done in several seconds

the hardcoded time doesn't matter in my case. To check if pvr is ready would be smarter, agree.

what is the curl cmd to do a channelswitch ?

gbi · autostart tv gbi December 26, 2017 at 8:51 AM

Hi,

now it works.

I had 2 problems:

1. the sleep time had to be at least around 30 seconds. Libreelec and tvheadend are running on a raspiv2

2. strange enough it does not work with channelid 1088 (I have rechecked the output of curl, 1088 is listed), but it does work with another channelid I found in the list :

Code

{"channelid":1265,"label":"arte HD","uniqueid":1963091052}

It also does not work when I run tvheadend on the raspi and stream it's output to my PC which also runs kodi.

So this solution is may be the wrong approch (as you said) but at least it works

Thanks a lot for your kind support

Hi all,

just for the records: this solution does not work ! I'm sorry.

The time.sleep() at line 7 has no effect, it does not delay further execution of autoexec.py.

I'm too less a python specialist to track down why it does not work.

Suggestions for doing an 'autostart tv' or to get the above script to work are welcome

Thanks in advance.

ok, I have injected an error at the end of the autoexec.py script, with a time.sleep(xx). Simply to get an error popup onscreen when the error occurs. Guess what, this popup comes immidiately, before the startup of tvheadend has happend, it does not matter if the time.sleep is 30 or 90 or whatsoever.

Sigh

gbi · autostart tv gbi December 22, 2017 at 7:34 PM

well, I also have noticed/suspected this, that tvheadend starts later than autoexec.py is exec'd. I have even increased the time.sleep() to 30 or even 90 seconds, but no success, nothing happens

yeah, I've got the channelid, it was the first step I did.

Code

40818},{"channelid":1265,"label":"arte HD","uniqueid":1963091052},{"channelid":1088,"label":"3sat HD","uniqueid":1026189214},{"channelid":1004,"label":"tagesschau24 HD","uniqueid":640869133},{"channelid":1141,"label":"ZDFinfo HD","uniqueid"

It is the {"channelid":1088,"label":"3sat HD","uniqueid":1026189214}, so channelid -> 1088

Have activated the kodi debug log, a lot of info is generated. The last occurence of 'autoexec' in the log is as follows:

Code

19:24:36.149 T:139715384309504    INFO: CPythonInvoker(3, /home/gb/.kodi/userdata/autoexec.py): script successfully run
19:24:36.149 T:139715384309504    INFO: Python script stopped
19:24:36.149 T:139715384309504   DEBUG: Thread LanguageInvoker 139715384309504 terminating

The other occurences of 'autoexec' also do not indicate errors, but it does not work.

gbi · autostart tv gbi December 22, 2017 at 2:54 PM

ok, understand regarding the fixed code. My bad.

Now nothing at all happens. It does not switch to the channel I like it to switch, and there are no messages in the kodi.log, at least no messages that seem to be related to the autoexec.py.

How can I make a debug NOTICE in the autoexec.py ? Can this be done with printf ?

gbi · autostart tv gbi December 22, 2017 at 12:27 PM

can you tell me the correct syntax, please

gbi · autostart tv gbi December 22, 2017 at 10:43 AM

thanks a lot

The first one works when I change the port to 80, there is nothing listening on port 8080:

Code

I have seen that the channelid I want to use is 1088.

The python script throws an error:

Code

11:31:58.090 T:1612706720   ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->

-->End of Python script error report<--

I see that it is a syntax error, but I can't identify it

Or can it be caused that tvheadend is not running at the time the autoexec.py is executed ?

Code

Hi folks,

I'd like to autostart a specific tv program automatically when libreelec starts. By chance I stumbled over the autoexec.py scripting facility, which seems to be well suited for doing this.

But as I'm not a real programmer I'm not able to write such a script. Maybe one of you folks already has such a script or can help me to write it ?

Or is there another way to autostart a specific tv program ?

Thanks in advance

gbi · rsync ? gbi August 12, 2016 at 11:16 AM

Quote from trogggy

It's in the libreelec repo under 'virtual network-tools', bundled with a few other bits and bobs.

Thanks a lot. I'm sorry to say there is no description of the package in Addons/Program Addons, only "A bundle of network tools and programs". Unlike System Tools, where there is a listing of the tools.

Nevertheless I've got it

gbi · rsync ? gbi August 12, 2016 at 8:34 AM

Hi all,

LibreELEC team: thanks for this fork. I was wondering why openElec's next version is delayed, but no I understand.

I'm running LE on a Raspi (not only, also on a Wetek Play), mainly as tvheadend based PVR.

In OE there was the infamous "Unofficial" repo with a cli based rsync client, which was quite handy from time to time. Are there plans to support rsync also under LE ?

Or is there a (simple) way to build the rsync client myself ? Or ist it possible to use the rsync binary from RaspBian ?

Thanks in advance
