  • [x86-64] Video playback goes through PC speakers

    Quote from chewitt

    I suspect running "getedid create" without first running "getedid delete" to remove the config doesn't overwrite the existing capture files.

    Ah! You are correct; I did not run 'getedid delete' and that did the trick. Aactually running *just* 'getedid delete' command allowed the sound to output through my TV speakers, but I ran the 'getedid create' again anyway just to make sure I could have the PC able to come back up to Libreelec after a reboot or power outage without having to have the TV actively on the input.

    Thanks for this! :)

    Yes, that would explain everything. You captured from a monitor with no audio capabilities and that's what the device still sees as connected. So, self-inflicted problem.

    So it turns out that that does not appear to be the issue :( I recreated the EDID but the sound from playing media is still only coming through the PC's speakers (GUI sounds still come from the TV)

    I enabled the debug logging and played another video (well, actually the same video I have been testing with). Here is the "pastekodi":

    Hrm, your comments about the EDID are interesting. The PC is actually connected to a TV, however, when I initially installed and configured this PC with Libreelec it was at my office, connected to a PC monitor (including generating the EDID so it could come up properly if rebooted while the connected display was not active).

    So is it possible that the EDID I generated like that is "passing" incorrect information setup-wise? If you think it might do the trick, I can generate a new EDID now that it is all connected "properly"?

    Edit: clarity

  • [x86-64] Video playback goes through PC speakers

    Hello,

    I have an issue with sound from video playback. I have Libreelec running on a Lenovo m710q with a DP-to-HDMI cable running from the PC directly through the TV.

    The GUI sounds in Kodi come through the TV, but any videos I play are coming through the PC speakers. I have tried all the devices under "Settings > Audio" but they all result in the same thing. Even using 'aplay' and specifying any of the HDMI sound devices still results in sound coming through the PC speakers.

    The fact that the GUI sounds come through my TV would indicate that the cable is directing sound through it to the TV, but I just have absolutely no idea why video playback is not outputting to the TV speakers.

    I have attached a debug log.

    Any insight is greatly appreciated!

  • MariaDB addon not starting

    Quote from mglae

    Addon 12.80.1.0 with MariaDB 11.4.3 is the last one working.

    I'm not using MariaDB but had the addon installed at one of my test installs and saw it restarting.

    Hrm, OK, there is something weird with my system then. My Addon is reporting version 12.0.0.4 with MariaDB 11.4.5.

    System info shows I am running Libreelec 12.0.2 (sorry, I missed a decimal in my original post) with Kodi 21.2

    The addon was installed from the Libreelec repository. Is there somewhere else I can get the latest from (i.e., 12.80.1.0)?

  • MariaDB addon not starting

    UPDATE: Here is what the mysqld.log says:

    I have tried changing the "thread_stack" value in my.cnf but that does not resolve the error. Not sure what else the issue could be? Could it have to with the size of the database?

  • MariaDB addon not starting

    The MariaDB service on my LibreElec 12.02 is suddenly not starting, so none of my media is showing up currently. I have uninstalled and re-installed the MariaDB serice add-on, but still no jot. I have enabled debugging and rebooted, but I see no errors in the kodi.log about the MariaDB service; in fact, it seems to show that it started up OK:

    That is all there is in the log about MariaDB. Trying to start it automatically shows no error either; it just returns back to the command line like it started without issue.

    Your insight is greatly appreciated!

  • Harmony Hub issue with MCE Remote: some buttons don't work

    My LE version is 'LibreELEC (official): 9.2.6 (Generic.x86_64)'. Here is my output from 'ir-keytable':

    Code
    Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event9) with:
    Name: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (1784:0008)
    Driver: mceusb, table: rc-rc6-mce
    lirc device: /dev/lirc0
    Supported protocols: lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6 sharp xmp imon rc-mm

    bus: 3, vendor/product: 1784:0008, version: 0x0101
    Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms

    I ran 'ir-keytable -t -s rc0' still nothing comes up when I press the "Exit" or "Menu" buttons on my Harmony remote.

    I have nothing in my /storage/.config/rc_keymaps folder; what *should* be in there? My actual MCEUSB remote "just works" without any files needing to be in there.

  • Harmony Hub issue with MCE Remote: some buttons don't work

    Hello,

    I have a MCE remote (HA-IR01SV) that works perfectly with LibreElec, however when I use my Harmony Hub remote, most buttons work except the "Exit" and "Menu" buttons (which I am wantingto have mapped to "Back" and "Context Menu", respectively)

    In my Harmony software, I have the "Microsoft MCE Keyboard" and "Microsoft Windows Media Center SE" added as devices. When I try to map *anything* to the "Exit" or "Menu" keys, nothing registers (I run 'ir-keytable -t' and see nothing; same when I run 'irw'). Oddly, if I try to map, say "C" (for "Context Menu") from the "Microsoft MCE Keyboard" to any other key which already works with something else, nothing registers when I press it.

    I should note that the actual MCE remote I have works without issue, and when I was running Kodi on Ubuntu up to about 3-4 months ago, the Harmony Remote was working perfectly as well (i.e., "Menu" was working as the Context menu)

    I have edited my 'keyboard.xml' file in /http://storage.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml to add '<menu>C</menu>' to the '<keybaord></keyboard>' section under "Global", and even restarted the whole machine, but still nothing registers.

    Any insight or advise greatly appreciated! :)

    Thanks, in advance.
