i just switched my Rpi3 over to OSMC.

OSMC already supports Kodi v19 (Matrix) on the RPi3 (and 2 and 4) with the 2021.08-1 release.

Runs fine. Basically the same as Libre. Default skin is different but can easily be changed. The other skin is already installed.

There are also plugins to manage the Pi and underlying linux, just like with Libre.

As you can see It installed scripts for the pwr-button (wich works like charm) and some other files.

One of them is a "argonone-config" file and the "argonone.conf" file. The first one ist the one i have to use to make changes to the fan behavior. So to start it i use

./argonone-config. This shows me whats written in the script e.g

Code

argon_create_file $configscript

# Config Script
echo '#!/bin/bash' >> $configscript
echo 'daemonconfigfile='$daemonconfigfile >> $configscript
echo 'echo "--------------------------------------"' >> $configscript
echo 'echo "Argon One Fan Speed Configuration Tool"' >> $configscript
echo 'echo "--------------------------------------"' >> $configscript
echo 'echo "WARNING: This will remove existing configuration."' >> $configscript
echo 'echo -n "Press Y to continue:"' >> $configscript
echo 'read -n 1 confirm' >> $configscript
echo 'echo' >> $configscript
echo 'if [ "$confirm" = "y" ]' >> $configscript
echo 'then' >> $configscript
echo '    confirm="Y"' >> $configscript
echo 'fi' >> $configscript
echo '' >> $configscript
echo 'if [ "$confirm" != "Y" ]' >> $configscript
echo 'then' >> $configscript
echo '    echo "Cancelled"' >> $configscript
echo '    exit' >> $configscript
echo 'fi' >> $configscript
echo 'echo "Thank you."' >> $configscript


echo 'echo -n "Press Y if you want the fan to be always on:"' >> $configscript
echo 'read -n 1 confirm' >> $configscript
echo 'echo' >> $configscript
echo 'if [ "$confirm" = "y" ]' >> $configscript
echo 'then' >> $configscript
echo '    confirm="Y"' >> $configscript

echo '' >> $configscript
echo 'echo "#" > $daemonconfigfile' >> $configscript
echo 'echo "# Argon One Fan Speed Configuration" >> $daemonconfigfile' >> $configscript
echo 'echo "#" >> $daemonconfigfile' >> $configscript
echo 'echo "# Min Temp=Fan Speed" >> $daemonconfigfile' >> $configscript

echo 'if [ "$confirm" != "Y" ]' >> $configscript
echo 'then' >> $configscript

So as you can see, this script just offers me two options. Either "Fan off" ( so it sets the parameters in the argonone.conf to 90°=100%)

or "Fan always on" (which results in 1°=100% in the argonone.conf).

On other distributions ( for example raspbian). It should offer me 4 options

- 1. Always On

- 2. Adjust to temperature

- 3. Customize behavior

- 4. Cancelto change the fan behavior.

This can easily be checked by looking in the raspbian argon1.sh (setup-script) Here is the code:

So imo there is not such a thing like a option "menu" with 4 options for the LibreElec scripts. Like they forgot to write down the code for the LibreElec Version.

Here are the original installscripts for you to check yourself:

[....]

By the way: I have installed another 5V Fan to my Case an it is way more silent thant the original one! So thats a must do for people who like it silent.

I have had the same problem.

Shutdown Script is working fine. Fan control was just 0 or 100.

Your posting set me on the right track to fix the problem.

The raspian script has more options.

The reason is that there is one line with a regular expression check in there.

libreelec does use another shell and this line does not work there.

the rest is working fine.

i guess someone ported it, it did not work and they just discarded all the other options instead of fixing them.

so i took the liberty to copy the raspian code to my libreelec and edit that line to make it work.

(system calls, filenames and storeagepath are also different)

i also added a fourth option to set the speed to a fixed value other than 100%

this is the content of my new libreelec "argonone-config" file.

and yes, that default Fan is the worst. even at 10% it is annoying.

going to replace it.
