So you say Kodi stops responding to remote control?
With RPi 4B you have several choices, one of them would be to connect a HW button to some GPIO pin and run a python script from autostart.sh which can do anything you need as soon as the button is pressed. There are several examples here, usually related with shutdown.
From Kodi menu:
Settings - Add-ons -My add-ons - Services - Tvheadend Server 4.2 - Disable / Enable
Settings - Add-ons -My add-ons - PVR clients - Tvheadend HTSP Client - Disable / Enable
The correct command is bluetoothctl, not bluetooth ctl.
What are your video and audio codecs?
Here it's hevc and aac.
Even with a good signal quality, after switching to another TV channel, sometimes the audio is not detected properly. Very annoying and long lasting bug. Usually there are 2 options selectable in the audio stream settings:
Czech - AAC - 2 channels (1/2)
Czech - AAC - 1 channels (2/2)
Where the first one is working option which is usually selected automatically. The second option (Czech - AAC - 1 channels (2/2)) is producing silent only.
And sometimes after switching the channel, there's only the second (thus not working) option is there or there's even no audio stream option available.
Switching to another channel and back usually fixes the issue .
The same issue on LE 11 Nightly 20220809.
In Kodi you need to go through TV / Recordings menu and then invoke the ContextMenu (of course if you have that function keymapped), then select Delete or Delete watched option.
In case your remote control does not support it, you can navigate to the TV / Recordings menu and invoke the submenu from ssh console with kodi-send --action="ContextMenu" command.
Then try to read here and follow the instructions: https://github.com/okunze/Argon40-ArgonOne-Script
It's reported to be for v2 and I don't own this case so don't know differences but I would give it a try.
I would read this thread: Argon One Fan Control
And change the default settings like this: 20 C = 100%
Would it be possible to configure the wireless tethering (with additional USB WiFi dongle supported by kernel) while connected to WiFi AP through onboard WiFi adapter?
I don't have any experience with CM4 but I would say the safe mode should be activated after 5 Kodi crash loops like on other RPI's. For sure it's not related to SD card as I also don't have it installed on my RPi where the bootloop happened (I am using HDD with USB/SATA adapter).
Nevertheless the pvr addon should be removable still (without safe mode), just with the standard paths (.kodi instead of .kodi.FAILED) .
Observed on RPi 4B/2GB running latest LE 11 Nightly 20220724. It's quite sensitive to Live TV stream corruption which happens when the signal quality is low. In such cases the audio may be lost permanently or even a Kodi crash happens.
Well, my fault I thought when I am reinstalling the addon and see it's downloading, the old cache file is replaced...
So I followed the adviced steps in post 2 and it really helped. Thanks a lot for your patience!
The steps done from SSH console in safe mode:
cd /storage
rm -rf .kodi.FAILED/addons/pvr.hts
rm .kodi.FAILED/addons/packages/*
reboot
#Then installed the Tvheadend HTSP Client from LibreELEC Add-ons again.
OK but I have reinstalled the Tvheadend client as well (to the same version which was already there, 20.3.0.1) without any positive effect.
The crashing starts as soon as the Tvheadend server is enabled and the client connects to it...
I have disabled the Tvh addon, upgraded LE from 20220720 to 20220724, went to Tvh addon configuration, clicked to Versions available and confirmed to install the only version listed (10.80.7.103). After the installation the addon was automatically enabled (is that feature or a bug?) and Kodi started crashing repeatedly.
The same happened with Tvheadend Server 4.2 (which I have disabled by default), which I tried to upgrade from some 9.80 to 10.80.126.
Unfortunately it's still crashing even after Tvheadend Server 4.3 (10.80.7.103) reinstallation on LE Nightly 20210724.
For instance, look here: RE: How to make a backup of kodi?
I am sure there're some other threads about backup scripts, just try to search if you need more info.
Yes that's right in general.
I have to mention that RPi.GPIO of RPi Tools isn't reliable. The power LED connected to my RPi 3B+ (GPIO 13 / Ground) switches on and off randomly.
On RPi 4B it works fine. Please note the GPIO selection should also reflect a possible dual functionality to avoid any conflict.
I am using GPIO4 and GPIO6 to control relays, GPIO27 for power LED and GPIO5 for power button input. Works 100% reliable with Python script on RPi 4B running LE 11 Nightly.
