Hi, I'd like to control Kodi volume from CEC Samsung tv remote. As of now, Vol+ and Vol- controls the tv volume but I'd like to control Kodi volume.
Is it possible?
On the other hand, I have a IR sensor on a PI hat, but I don't have an additional IR remote. Can I disable/override CEC on the tv and enable my Samsung remote as a IR remote instead of CEC, so I can control Kodi Volume (and hopefully more functionality)?
yes
Is tvheadend included in RPI4 LE12 nightly build or do I need to install any plugin? (I've just bought a RPI4 and tv hat aswell)
I understand. I'm an audiophile linux enthusiast planning to build an A/V Kodi Libreelec RPI4 player with an Spdif digital transport hat. Direct ALSA hardware out is the most direct, least latency output. Pulseaudio has its problems (latency,samplerate conversion..), and it's being phased out in Linux in favour of the newer PipeWire. Kodi being multiplatform shouldn't be bound to any sound server for plugins.
Libreelec being a sandbox machine does not need an additional audio API.(even if it has Pulseaudio for Bluetooth and Network). If I did, I would move to RPIOS on debian or a specialized PC.
I agree keeping ALSA by default is the best choice. Having eq in Kodi would be nice, but we always have ALSA to tinker with.
The challenge with alsa plugins is they need to be built and baked-into the image to use, and then users need to create custom alsa configs to use them. Creating alsa configs is, err, one of the Linux 'dark arts' and where most people will come unstuck.
Can you move to pulseaudio so audio processing plugins such eq are available?
I see.
Out of curiosity:
What sort of linux OS and display manager does LE run on?
DRM framebuffer would be the GPU driver, which is kernel based, right?
Is there OpenGL or Vulkan support?
Which is the display server, Xorg or Wayland?
Excuse for so many questions, I'm trying to understand and thanks for your attention.
Hello,
I'd like to discuss the possibility of including mpv as a choce for external player in Kodi, as documented in Kodi Wiki, which would be including mpv on playercorefactory.xml file and thus appearing as 'play using...' in context menu.
I think mpv is a incredibly flexible and constantly developed piece of software which auto-detects best system configuration for current os and enables endless user configurable options. It supports good tonemapping options, vulkan renderers, hardware/software acceleration, resizers..., which could be edited by ssh.
In my opinion mpv is the best video player for linux, and if LibreELEC is linux based it wouldn't be hard to make custom builds or use builds for debian, raspbian. How is mpv compared to Kodi player infrastructure?
Hello,
I've been following HDR support on linux for years, there are ongoing efforts on behalf of NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Wayland vs. X.Org, DRM/KMS backend API .. but nothing finished yet, as far as I know.
How did you manage to develop LIBREELEC with HDR support on linux, and the Raspberry Pi in particular, with nightlies 6.0 kernel support.
Congratulations!
