Nevermind, solved!
The information for the python script I was working off must have been outdated.
I'll leave the solution below should anyone have the same query:
import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin('Action(PlayPause)')
xbmc.executebuiltin('Action(Back)')I've added the following to my keymap and I can see from the logs that the script executes on key press. But nothing seems to happen.
<key id="61467">RunScript(/storage/.kodi/userdata/Scripts/backpause.py)</key>Which leads me to the script - pieced together from searching online.
import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin( "XBMC.Action(Pause)" )
xbmc.executebuiltin( "XBMC.Action(Back)" )The has worked for others on the kodi forums, but perhaps the information is outdated.
Is there any obvious or libreelec-specific reason why this doesn't appear to do anything?
Thanks for reading & any info or hints at how to debug much appreciated!
I was using libreelec.local for ssh access, and for chorus web server access (libreelec.local:8080/) and in the last week it has stopped working. I get "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" in browser and cannot ssh into the device using the hostname. Ping gives "cannot resolve libreelec.local: Unknown host"
Not sure how to troubleshoot, I've been searching for similar problems to no avail.
I'm almost sure it's not a router config issue as I have other servers accessible via .local addresses. I'm not sure why this stopped working.
Any ideas?
To give you some ideas about how you check for cec power status
cec-ctl --device 0 -S | grep 'Power Status'
and to refresh skin
kodi-send --action="ReloadSkin()"
Thank you for the pointers! Very interesting, I'll experiment with this some.
Hi,
Pretty new to LibreElec, moved to a Raspberry Pi 5 recently to solve a very specific audio issue and it's working wonderfully.
On previous hardware/kodi installs the device would power on & off with the TV via CEC.
From my reading here that's not possible(to power on at least) with the Pi, it needs to remain on? Which is fine, but as I run a shared network database between multiple devices locally - what I'd like to happen is when the tv powers up, to run the ReloadSkin() function so that any database updates & recently added files are reflected, which would usually happen when a deviced boots up along with the TV.
Does anyone know is such a thing possible?
Appreciate any info/pointers, before looking to external automation solutions.
Thanks
