  • [RPi4] My TV remote controller stopped working on KODI!!!

    Quote from popcornmix

    First make sure you are connected to primary hdmi port (hdmi0 - the one closest to power connection).

    Next, disconnect TV from mains for several minutes.

    Remove all HDMI connections, and just connect one HDMI from TV to Pi (no AVR etc).

    Power on TV first, set to Pi's AV input, then power on Pi 4.

    Does CEC remote work? If so you can try connecting the other hdmi devices..

    I've change the microHDMI port and now works perfect again. Thanks for the info! I forgot that RP4 has two microHDMI ports. But why is better to use the primary one? I really don't know what port was using before because I have the RPi4 whitin an Argon40 case and I don't know what port internally is connected to the closest to power connection...) Now I'm using this one

    Anyway, my issue has been solved so many thanks for you help!!!!

  • [RPi4] My TV remote controller stopped working on KODI!!!

    Hi there,


    I've been using Kodi (21.2 (Omega)) + LibreELEC (12.0.2) on a Phillips TV without issues moving through all the options & KODI menus with my TV remote controller. But suddenly this morning stopped working. Apparently my TV last update was months ago so I don't know what's going on. From time to time I update manually (when I have notifications) KODI add-ons but nothing else. This could be the problem? A bad add-on update?

    I've activated the debug log on the CEC module and I can see a lot of these messages:

    Asking IA told me that this means "Issues with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) communication, indicating repeated failures to send POLL commands to the TV" but I don't know how to fix it.


    Any idea? I really appreciate any help you can provide.

  • [RPi4] I need help to install Transmission with LE 12.0.1 :(

    Hi there,

    I'm a big noob that was using Transimission add-on smoothly for years with my KODI 18.9 (Leia) and I installed easily through toradia repository. Now I'm stuck trying to install the service again with Docker image (If you know another easier solution, please let me know!)

    I tried to follow the instructions from here:

    GitHub - danfercf1/transmission-libreelec
    Contribute to danfercf1/transmission-libreelec development by creating an account on GitHub.
    github.com

    I think I could install the docker addon (from Libreelect repository), create the symlinks, download the project and install it (I can see a deprecation warning but I don't know if this was a problem).

    Nexts steps are stop the service, update the configuration and start the service... But my problem is that I cannot find the Stop the service/storage/transmission/config/settings.json file because I have no /storage/transmission/ folder

    I've tried to access from my laptop to http://192.168.1.200:9091/transmission/web/ I cannot connect. Actually I don't know if this method is still available on this transmission version. Is it?

    I really appreciate any information you can provide.

    Thanks!

  • Problems setting the log level (RaspberryPi4 + LibreELEC 9.2.5)

    Hi there!

    I'm trying to change my loglevel through the advancedsettings.xml file (more info here) but I don't know why, my log level is automatically overwritten to level 1 due to "GUI settings". What is that? I've check my GUI settings and all the log stuff is disabled!

    Here is the log where is detailed that my log level is overwritten

    And here is a snapshot where all the log stauff is properly disabled (Sorry, it is in spanish but at leasy I think that you can recognize the screen and see that all is disabled). What I'm doing wrong?

    I really appreciate any help you can provide.

  • Image and sound freezes for a few seconds while playing videos randomly (ActiveAE - large audio sync error)

    Good news!

    At least, the movie was played without problems in the first attempt! I'll perform more tests in the following days with other kind of movies to verify that problem has been solved but I think that now I'm pointing in the right direction :love:.

    This is the advancedsettings.xml file that I'm using right now:

    Code
        <advancedsettings>
            <cache>
                    <memorysize>139460608</memorysize>
                    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
                    <readfactor>20</readfactor>
            </cache>
            <loglevel>2</loglevel>
    </advancedsettings>

    More info about this file here.

    Thanks Da Flex for the support!

  • Image and sound freezes for a few seconds while playing videos randomly (ActiveAE - large audio sync error)

    Quote from Da Flex

    If pass-through doesn't work, remux your files to MKV format by using mkvtoolnix or similar. That's approved to work.

    Pass-through doesn't work. Test failed :(

    But trying to set the log to level 2 following your aforesaid instructions, I've realized that my advancedsettings.xml file is not being used due to a bad format. So I've updated the file and now is using my custom video cache memory size. I'm trying to apply same solution as detailed here.

    I'm playing the movie again right now (without pass-through, but with a bigger video cache memory). Test results in a while (cross fingers)

  • Image and sound freezes for a few seconds while playing videos randomly (ActiveAE - large audio sync error)

    Ho there,

    I'm experiencing this issue from the first day after a fresh install of LibreELEC 9.2.5 (Kodi 18.8 Leia) on my Rapsberry Pi4B.

    Randomly (but several times per video) image and sound freeze and (after a few seconds... 5 or 6) continue further forward (not where it froze). If I go backwards and force to display the lost time I can watch it so I think that is not a problem of the video file corruption. Freeze times are random (not at the same time with the same video).

    Looking at the log files, freeze times matches with a bunch (more than 300 per freeze) of warning messages:

    Code
    2020-09-27 16:06:17.731 T:2990429040 WARNING: ActiveAE - large audio sync error: -22790.950967
2020-09-27 16:06:17.781 T:2990429040 WARNING: ActiveAE - large audio sync error: -22790.902373
2020-09-27 16:06:17.781 T:2990429040 WARNING: ActiveAE - large audio sync error: -22740.900152

    Looking for info I've read a guy that solve this issue creating an advancesettings.xml file giving more memory to the video cache but I don't know if I'm pointing to the right direction and this is not working for me.

    Please, any idea? It is very frustrating due I've never had these issues with my old Raspberry Pi 2B that played exactly the same videos with the same USB stick smoothly... And now I'm using the RapberryPi 4B with 4Gb and it is worse :(

    I really appreciate any help you can provide.

  • Changing the power button functions in the Argon One Pi 4 case

    Quote from Da Flex

    Function calls are part of the script(s) you've been installed. Edit it.

    Sorry but I'm a newie... What is the script that I need to edit?

    Only info that I can see in the configuration file (argoned.conf) is related to the temperature and to the fan speed... Nothing about the power button behaviour :(

    The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

    Thank you so much for you help.

  • Changing the power button functions in the Argon One Pi 4 case

    Hi all,

    Recently purchased a Raspberry Pi 4 and the Argon40 Argon ONE case for it.

    I've installed succesfully the script following the instructions and I can change the fan speed with the command "argonone-config".

    My question is, is it possible to change the power button functions too?

    By default the functions are the following (see table). I need to have the shutdown function with the short press (<3s). Is it possible?


    Shutdown Press Start
    Working Long-press (>3s) Shutdown
    Working Press(<3s) No function
    Working Double-click Restart
    Working Long-press(>5s) Force shutdown
