  • [RPi4] Argon One Case Shutdown

    I was able to find 2 possible causes for the reported switch-off problem. Both situations can be prevented/fixed if the settings dialogue of the add-on has been closed once with OK (this will create/update the required settings.xml). I will provide an updated version of the add-on to fix the problem permanently.

  • [RPi4] Argon One Case Shutdown

    Perhaps I should take another look at this. The shutdown script expects the setting value (false/true) to be present. There may be an edge case that I didn't stumble across in my tests.

    EDIT:

    I assume you had a previous version already installed and updated to 1.1.9. Can you remember your workflow? Did you have opened the add-on settings afterwards and left the menu with OK at least once, before you observed the failing shutdown?

    Has anyone else observed the same misbehavior?

  • [RPi4] Argon One Case Shutdown

    The add-on is now also available for LE12 via the LibreELEC add-ons repo. It was automatically updated in the background, although it was previously a manually installed version 1.1.9. This happened shortly after the start without a confirmation dialogue appearing.
    It was showing in the log that it was 1.1.9 during KODI startup but I couldn't reproduce that situation afterwards, maybe depends on the refresh of the repo inventory. This behaviour was unexpected, but it seems a good working mechanism.

    Many thanks for merging the 2 PRs.

    Version 1.1.9 released:

    • compatibility: some early MCU firmware versions could hang off after register support check
    • added menu option to explicitly disable register support detection for ONE V1/Fan HAT

    It would be nice if someone could test with a V1 case whether the effort for this switch was worthwhile and now helps to achieve a functioning fan control or whether it is useless.

  • [RPi4] Argon One Case Shutdown

    Version 1.1.8 released:

    • Contains a workaround against the long standing installation bug with LE 10 / 11 that after a installation from scratch a error message was thrown and second reboot was required to activate the I2C bus. Happened only if system-tools wasn't already installed before, like if you installed LE from scratch.

      It is therefore more of a kind of clean-up/maintenance of the code to make it reliable for users of the old LE versions 10 and 11. If I look at the download counter at #25 there seems some to stay with LE 10 / 11.

  • Long Press on TV Remote not bringing up RightClick?

    Have you thought about working around the problem with the missing context menu (long press on OK) if you use a separate button on your TV remote control? I'm not talking about customisation via the Keymap Editor add-on.

    It depends on the manufacturer and model of your TV. Some manufacturers (e.g. SONY) also support passing through the menu buttons via CEC. Sometimes this function has to be specially configured in the depths of the TV settings, but usually there is also a separate button for the context menu by default.

    Maybe this could be an option for you...

    the logic for manual installs from zip is not annoying and works fine, looks as intended. I have actively tested this with LE13 nightly.

    Also if the add-on has been installed from zip, an available update from LibreELEC add-ons repo will be announced. At this point you can decide to accept or ignore the update. It will not automatically updated via "Install auto updates only" or a background schedule, because the current installed version is not from a repo, thats the only different I found.
    If you accept the announced add-on update from repo via "Install all updates", then you will on track with the repo afterwards and will get all future updates from the repo.

    In addition, it is possible to switch to the zip version with the same add-on ID from GitHub, if required. This can be helpful for those affected, for example, if a new version with an urgent change is available but the build/publishing process for the repo has not yet been completed. As soon as the add-on version becomes available in the repo, you can switch back to the repo version and it will be updated automatically from then on.

    Of course, it's easiest to just use the repo version. That was the main reason for including it in the repo.

  • [RPi4] Argon One Case Shutdown

    It appears what you mix up/create a theoretical issue, which do not exist if you would follow the advice of chewitt and also doesn't exist in practice (especially if the advices in the README at GitHub are not skipped, or those from above).

    Because 1.1.7 and 1.1.7.0 use the same add-on id "service.argononecontrol", you will never have installed both version simultaneous. The last installed package version wins and overwrites the other. On that way you could switch between both, if would a different in code. Use case: a newer version is available at GitHub and you can't wait until it's released via the LibreELEC repo.

    By the way: If something in the README is unclear documentated, please direct to the paragraph and ask straight forward. Maybe my wording is wrong (I'm not a native English speaker) and can misinterpreted or an information is missing. Sometimes it seems as if only headings are read or entire paragraphs in which the answer has already been given are skipped. The latter is frustrating because I can't fix the behaviour of the readers and it makes additional effort.

    For LE13 nightlies the add-on is availabe now via the "LibreELEC Add-ons" repo. I have installed the add-on from there with a recent nightly from scratch and it's working right. It's also offered as an possible update if you manually installed v1.1.7 from GitHub before, but then will not automatically overwritten. Locations to change to the repo version:

    * Add-ons / Add-on browser/ Available updates -> Argon ONE Control
    * Add-ons / Program add-ons / Argon ONE Control -> context menu -> Information -> Versions -> Version 1.1.7.0

    ApexDE ,

    the behavior was not changed (also not planned) with regard to the edge use case with the file argon40_rc.lock. Also the naming is left the same because it remains an Argon40 device, and I like short file names for locks. ;)

    Regarding your feature request, I have already explained the related caveats/restrictions in the past of this thread. Can you please open an issue on GitHub so that it is tracked and not forgotten.

  • [RPi4] Argon One Case Shutdown

    It should be updated automatically when a newer version is available in the repo. But without a version of the add-on available via the repo, I could not verify this yet. Normally this works if the last digit is increased by at least 1. But currently the count of digits in the version string differs 1.1.7 (GitHub) vs. 1.1.7.0 (Repo). So the final answer is outstanding, or the behaviour must simulated with another installed plugin.

  • [RPi4] Argon One Case Shutdown

    Version 1.1.7 released:

    • add-on id has changed, as a prerequisite for the upcoming integration into the LibreELEC add-ons repository
    • because the id change was required, also the name has changed to distinguish better from the outdated official add-on variations 0.0.1 from Argon40

    • icon changed

      New name: Argon ONE Control

      For more details please read the documentation at GitHub entirely.

      The add-on has been under review for approx. 2 months because, among other things, the ID had to be changed. One consequence of this is that an existing older version must be removed before a newer version than 1.1.5 is installed. However, the current customised settings are lost in the process. This is only necessary once.

      The release process is not yet complete. Only then will it become available in the LE add-ons repo. I hope that no further adjustments are necessary so that it can be included.
