  • LibreSpot Add-on

    Hi,
    my RPI5 is rigged with a HiFiBerry Amp100

    in Kodi I have set the volume to 50%

    when playing Spotify via librespot on kodi, the volume in Spotify for this device is 100%, I have to manually decrease that to a reasonable volume.

    Some how Spotify remembers the volume setting of the device until I reboot Kodi, then Spotify start with 100% again.

    in the previous version of librespot, Spotify started with a level of appr. 25% which was to low, so I had to increase it everytime.

    Also not optimal, but at least it started low and not high as it does now.

    not sure what the cause of this is, imo only thing changed was librespot.

    I saw that you can somehow configure librespot with a volume level, but because this ia integrated into kodi I do not have clue where to look for that and if that is even possible

    Hi,

    so glad to have librespot working again with the update to Libreelec 12.2.1. many thanks to everybody involved in maintaining and fixing the librespot plugin.

    I run into the following 'issue': when connecting my spotify app to my Libreelec powered rpi5, the volume is now initially set to 100%.

    I get complaints from my neighbors as I have appr. 300 watt speakers attached, and when connecting Spotify automatically starts playing at full volume :O


    This is not the way it was before, it used to be set initially to a low value and then I would have to increase the volume in the Spotify app.


    Is there a way to set a different volume on start up of Kodi?


    Librespot is configured to use PulseAudio.


    Thanks in advance on behalf of my heart, ears and neighbors :)

  • Boblight not working on 12.0 anymore

    Okay, so was able to solve it following the hint of Markus.

    The issue is not in the LibreElec bolighth service as ( heitbaum pointed out) that is working correct,

    so the issue is in the Kodi Boblight addon.

    do a ssh into your LE system

    do

    Code
    nano ./.kodi/addons/script.xbmc.boblight/resources/lib/tools.py

    Then change line 118 from:

    Code
    return get_libname(platformstr)

    to:

    Code
    return "/storage/.kodi/addons/service.multimedia.boblightd/lib.private/%s" % (get_libname(platformstr),)

    Important: as this is python watch the correct number of spaces / indentation


    Leaving this here for if somebody else has the same issue.

    Note that this is not a real solution but a work-around.

    I do not think that the kodi boblight package (https://github.com/bobo1on1/script.xbmc.boblight) is maintained any more, last change in that repository dates back to 2017

  • Boblight not working on 12.0 anymore

    Hi, so on LE 11 (and all previous versions) boblight was working correct, this was a 'simple' upgrade.
    The issue here is that libboblight.so should be loaded. This is normally loaded via /usr/lib but in LE there is no fysical or symlinked libboblight.so in that directory, so it fails.

    Is there a way to create that symlink in /usr/lib to the actual location: /storage/.kodi/addons/service.multimedia.boblightd/lib.private/libboblight.so

  • Boblight not working on 12.0 anymore

    Hi everybody,
    long time LibreElec user, first time forum poster :)

    This morning I upgraded my setup to LibreElec 12.0.0 Legacy Generic.

    When starting up LibreElec I get a message from Bob, Boblight that is, telling me that it could not start and that I should read the readme.

    I have done some investigation and it looks like Bob requires libboblight.so to be loaded via /usr/lib

    But in that location there is no libboblight.so. There is one in /storage/.kodi/addons/service.multimedia.boblightd/lib.private/libboblight.so


    So I thought that as that .so file is not part of the image anymore I make a link to it, but that is not possible as /usr/lib is on a read-only squashfs

    Does anybody here have a clue / hint on how to solve this and get Boblight working again?

    Thanks in advance!

    Regards,
