Hi folks. Just installed 8.0.0d. Fantastic work but I prefer the older Confluence skin personally.

So I have installed the Confluence skin and all seems OK but I'm missing the option on the power button to select 'reboot from internal'

Any ideas how I can add that to my confluence skin?

Many thanks.

Either by editing DialogButtonMenu.xml in .kodi/addons/skin.confluence/720p (to put it in the power menu), or adding to favourites or a separate submenu. The first is obviously neater, but if the skin is updated you'll need to repeat the change. The command you'll need is

System.ExecWait("/usr/sbin/rebootfromnand")

But how is possible if Kszaq is saying that the amlogic vnc doesn't pass video from the hardware acceleration?
Are you decoding from the hardware?
I'm REALLY interesting in this, please!

Because I picked the first video in my films list, which happens to be one that was software-decoded.

Hi,

I have the same problem howto setup VDR VNSI with a presorted channels.conf. Unfortunately your documentation does not work for me. Is it still working for you? I'm using LibreELEC 8.0.0 with Kodi 17.0 and VDR. Maybe something has changed for this version and you can adapt your documentation?

I've stopped kodi (systemctl stop kodi) and then tried to place a presorted channels.conf to /storage/.kodi/addons/service.multimedia.vdr-addon/config/channels.conf but it is ignored after starting kodi again. When I open the channel manager all channels are still unsorted. My sorted channels.conf is untouched and ignored. Even after "clear data" and deleting .kodi/userdata/Database/TV29.db I have the complete unsorted channels list.

Any ideas?

Just from reading the thread it looks like you're putting the channels.conf in the wrong place - it needs to go in addon_data rather than addons (which makes sense).

Okay, so if I copy the file with SSH to that location and reboot my device it should work?

Regards

If you're copying via SSH just run remotecfg /storage/.config/remote.conf to test it. No need to reboot.

Where did you get this VNC server because as far as I know we don't package one for amlogic devices

There's an 'amlogic vnc' (kszaq's) in the libreelec repo - I use it on my S905s, works great.
I've just checked and I can see video playing (obviously not very well) over it.

Edit: Index of /addons/8.1/S905/arm/service.system.aml-vnc/

Try it and post the answer up?
Running from sd card / usb doesn't touch anything on your box, so there's no risk.

Hi ,

does anybody know if its possible to boot libreelec from ssd on a 905x.
image has been written on a ssd with libreelec sd/usb creator.
but after boot it or starts in android or while holding the reset button it ends up in the recovery menu without showing libreelec boot .
have been reading posts from the raspberry pi where was given that possibly the drive starts up to slow .

If so would there be an option to boot from sd and use data from ssd.

Thanks in advance,

Michael

It should be possible - I've booted an S905 from an ancient dog-slow 2.5" drive.

Install Keymap Editor addon and do it yourself...

Not really, no.
That will give you a gen.xml in userdata/keymaps.
remote.conf performs a different function and sits in storage/.config

gen.xml will map a known key input to a kodi command.

Would it be a Micro SD card that the Neo uses?

I don't own one, but I'd be amazed if it wasn't.

If it's an S905 you should be able to clone the stick to an sd card - I've used win32diskimager or usbit in windows for that. That only works if the card you're copying to is at least as big (to the bit) as the stick you're starting with though, and obviously cloning eg an 8GB stick to a 16GB card will leave you with a lot of wasted space. So if they're nominally the same size it might work but not definitely.
Otherwise the easiest option is as vitorp07 suggested above - make a backup using the built-in backup in libreelec settings. New install of libreelec on the sd card, boot it up and restore the backup.

What device?

Try these:
thread-3581.html

thread-5154.html

No idea what aplay is, but 2 and 3 are yes and yes. As long as spdif is supported.

Confluence isn't the default skin any more, it's like installing any other skin - so no automatic shortcut (I guess there's one in Estuary?). You might be able to make it yourself:
Customisable home submenus
Otherwise you can access via programs, or add it to favourites and get there that way - or use a skin that's customizable.

Is there a 32-bit version of 8.0.0? If so, where can I find it? I have looked all over. Thanks in advance.

Check the changelogs in post 1 - these builds are 32-bit since December.

From memory I ran the following in the /storage/.config/system.d/ directory to enable the service

Code

systemctl enable irexec.service

Your memory's spot on - ran that and it's up and running, many thanks.

Quote from teeedub

Hi,

You can start irexec via systemd which provides the ability to automatically restart it if it crashes.

/storage/.config/system.d/irexec.service

Code

[Unit]
Description=irexec
After=lircd.service
Wants=lircd.service


[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/irexec --daemon /storage/.config/.lircrc
Type=forking
Restart=always


[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I've been using an autostart.sh file to start irexec for a while - I'd like to use systemd, but when I stick irexec.service in there it just doesn't start. If I run 'systemctl start irexec.service' in putty it starts up.
Any ideas for how to troubleshoot that?

My autostart.sh and irexec.service are both identical to the ones in this thread.
