Thanks smp the problem seems to be resolved.

Yes when i compiled from sources it works fine.

I stongly feel the firmware is corrupted.

I tried to check the same on raspberry pi OS and it failed initially (using kodi 19) but then tried the following and it is fixed.

I replaced the firmware lib from https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php…-S2_Stick_(461e) into /lib/firmware

and restarted device. I wonder what is the reason for the corruption of firmware lib in LibreElec.

Is there a way i can replace the firmware in LibreElec from commandline? the plugin way may not be working correctly

I have checked the status via restapi as well

http://192.168.1.179:8002/wirbelscan/getStatus.json

And seems like the api is working

{"status":1,"currentDevice":"Montage Technology M88DS3103","progress":88,"strength":0,"transponder":"???:12552:VC56M2S0:S19.2E:22000:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0","numChannels":0,"newChannels":0,"nextTransponder":0}

Hi
I would like to know if anyone is facing this issue.

I have a pctv tuner and it works fine with LibreElec 8.2.5 (RPI3B) and also it worked fine when i build LibreElec from sources with branch libreelec-9.2 (RPI4)

But when i install LibreElec from the official channel (Raspberry Pi Imager), i cannot get the vdr plugin to work. Vdr configuration plugin does not show any details about the tuner.

Entries in the bottom panel are empty (ex: Tuner: , Frequency: and Channel: )

Following is the log from vdr process

06:59:10 wirbelscan version 2018.11.04 @ VDR 2.4.1
06:59:10 using settings for 19.2 east Astra 1F/1G/1H/1KR/1L
06:59:10 frontend Montage Technology M88DS3103
06:59:20 leaving scanner

Do you have any suggestion? Is this an issue with vdr 2.4.1?

ok sounds good. Let me have a look. Thanks

Not a commercial app at all. Just working on a cool idea. This will be opensourced. I am not working for an org or something.. just a student learning something new. I can create a repo fork and share my updates as well.

Hi

The goal is simple I need to create a overlay on top of kodi UI to show some advertisements when TV streams are being presented.

Can I make kodi create a new DRM plane and let may app post buffers on that plane? There by i can achieve what i want.
I did try this and it failed on the first try with drmModeSetPlane.

I added a new plane in DRMUtils.cpp in kodi and then used that plane id to call drmModeSetPlane in my app.
Still i guess it has permission issue. How can i avoid this?

Alternative approach is start Xorg server.

I have tried this as well but fails with following error

xorg.service: Failed with result 'protocol'.

Looks like there is a lot of inactivity in this thread.

May be i can add some more info meanwhile.

I understand now that the Kodi is running on GBM/DRM.

I have tried to run a simple kmscube (Projects · Mesa / kmscube · GitLab) application and it fails to run when kodi is running.

Once I kill kodi using (systemctl stop kodi) it runs fine.

So i assume, kodi is the master and I need to somehow request kodi to create the surface or something. Could someone throw some light on this?

You have been marked this thread as solved. Is this correct?

Sorry, may be that was by mistake.

Hi Guys

I need to create an overlay on top of Kodi UI using EGL apis.

It works fine on RPI3 using dispmanx apis (EGL on the Raspberry Pi)

But since the RPI4 has upgraded itself to vc6, and does not have support for dispmanx, is there way I can achieve this?

Any help in this direction would be really appreciated.
