There is some rpi addon hardware for that. Google will help.
EDIT: found the one I was thinking of Switches – Mausberry Circuits

So it is. Thought you might have been in the wrong forum.

Nor would the username be kodi-keller

Put the whole tar file in ~/.update
reboot
Done. -

Probably need to get a [[debug log]]

I can't see any mention of an external drive in dmesg or mount. Can you please.
1. Start up with the external unplugged
2. Plug the drive in.
3. Wait a couple of minutes
4. Unlug it.
5. Post the url resulting from dmesg|paste . Don't put it in code tags, we'd prefer just to be able to click on it.

If you have a 5.1 system and 5.1 sound, it is a simple matter of turning up the centre channel on your amplifier.
However if you don't then a DSP addon may indeed do the trick. So how about a debug log of your problem.

Because for a TV you want CEA modes (hdmi_group=1). If you are connected to a monitor, DMA modes might be better (=2)

debug log please, howto our wiki.

You'll have to rename the one in .kodi/addons otherwise they will clash. You will have to rename the directory the addon is in, and change addon.xml within that directory to the same name.
-
Please put your log on a paste site, not google drive.

/storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log
You can post the log by running
Codepaste /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log -
Thanks, downloading now. Will test and advise...

OK installed that, have "run xdotool" switched on (.kodi/userdata/browser.chromium/settings.xml confirms).However when chromium starts via netflix, xdotool doesn't seem to start.
unclutter does start. but ps ax|grep xdotool reveals nothing.
xdotool will run from the command line, and xdotool key alt+F4 closes chromium. However the lines in the startup script
if [ "$RUN_XDOTOOL" == "true" ]
then
xdotool &
XDOTOOL_PID=$!
fidon't seem to be doing anything.

Ahhh enlightenmentxdotool will not background like xdotool &.
In fact it needs to be run per keypress. So having it there and runnable should be enough and those lines won't be needed in the chromium startup script.
flix2kodi has a script:
/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.flix2kodi/resources/scripts/keysender/linux/chromium.sh
It is effectivley a big if, then else case statement with stanzas like:
if [ "$1" = "close" ];
then
CMD="alt+F4"I am trying to work out what feeds into this script.

No problem, I do have a 7.90.003 test machine so will give that a go.

OK chromium fails to build, finishing with

I will, I just got up and am off to work soon, so it'll be 8 hours or so before I get back home.

Yeah I don't know of another use except to drive a browser. If you want to include it in chromium, thats great. I will learn from what you do!
