  • Youtube Addon not playing videos - RPI4

    Quote from Jocke.Sve

    That's pretty much handled by system.

    Just follow these "easy" steps:

    Provide Log File [LibreELEC.wiki]

    Thx!

    First Option failed and i could only upload the crashlog: http://ix.io/2eG6

    While trying to figure out a SSH connection via putty there actually was an update for the addon and now its working perfectly fine again. So yeah.. thx to whoever got that published! Sorry for the commotion here, problem solved.

    ( I also managed to finally update to 9.2.1 via manual settings)

    One last question before the thread vanishes to oblivion: In the crashlog the arm frequency is still at stock settings despite me having an overclock in place. In Raspbian the overclock applies.. is there an option to check this for libreelec? Is it a different config.txt than the one found in the /boot folder? Kinda surprised by this discovery.

  • Youtube Addon not playing videos - RPI4

    Suddenly my Youtube Addon refused to play any videos. I have custom APIs, i can see my account and even the newest videos in my subscriptions.. but as soon i try to start watching something i only get the "youtube error - view logfile for more information" popup. I am far from being a coder so this wont help me a lot, i hope you guys can help me with this.

    I am on a Raspberry Pi 4, Libreelec 9.2.0 and Kodi 18.5. As far as i know no major changes happened since the addon worked fine aside from the Amazon VOD addon being installed. Deactivating it wont help though.

    Heres the log i found:

    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Steamlink or GeForce Now in LibreELEC/Kodi?

    Hey guys, not sure if this is even remotely possibly or even the right place.. but let´s give it a shot.

    I run LibreELEC with the latest Kodi installation on a Raspberry 4B (4 GB Model). Used Noobs to install while also running Raspbian on a seperate Partition. Very happy with the software and overall it´s running perfectly fine. I do wonder though if theres a possibility to run

    a) Steamlink as a LibreELEC / Kodi addon. I can run it from the Raspbian Desktop, but its highly inconvenient since the RPI i mostly used as a Kodi Box and controlled just via a Controller. Can i use a programm like AEL to run the steamlink code without switching to raspbian first?

    and

    b) GeForce Now. I know there is a Linux version around. Is it possible to integrate it either in Raspbian or even more perfect in LibreELEC/ Kodi as an addon? Would make a dreambox come true.

    Thanks in advance to all of you.

  • Gamestarter: Retrogaming add-ons (RPi/Generic)

    So overall i am pretty happy with the performance of my RP4 with Retroarch as a Kodi addon. Even played some Conker with acceptable framerates. I still have two major issues though and hope you guys can help me. I can update the Core package from within Kodi (Retrocharch Settings), but if i try to update them while running Retroarch via the online updater, not only will it not update the cores but i also get some visual errors where it just redraws the menu without updating old frames until i restart the addon.

    The second problem is even more curious but maybe easier to solve. I can run Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast/Flycast Core) with around ~40fps at double the resolution and some optimized settings.. so i used those settings to establish some overide settings for this core. Somehow and somewhere i must have changed somthing important since every other game for dreamcast now just crashes directly back to kodi (with stock settings or crazy taxi override settings) . Even Crazy Taxi will crash until i load it with overrides again. Any ideas would beUpdate much appreciated.

    Update: Found a solution. For some reason some Dreamcast games don´t like automatically loaded savestates while HLE is disabled. It will just crash to Kodi while trying to load the state. Starting the game without savestates and loading them manually later solves the problem. So does enabling HLE.
