Is your Hdd a very old one?Mine spin down on their own...not sure if it's due to hdparm enabled by default on LE but don't think so...most modern hdd's should do so..
AFAIK, only 2.5" USB HDD enclosures that have this command in their conntroller can spin-down HDD on Android. I think that there is no way Android OS can do that as Linux/Windows can. But this is another topic...
Did You try it ?
LE(amlogic) could handle autostart.sh and hdparm command
No. Asking for a friend since I don't own one. I guess that it should work, as it's a Linux command, so he will try it.
Same Android versions on both boxes?
Hi,
I use hdparm command (in autostart.sh) in LE on Raspberry Pi3 to spin-down USB drives.
Is there a way to do this with LibreElec on (S905W/S912) Android TV Box?
The .srt subtitles in movie folders work as expected, no need to download any. Check that yours have EXACTLY same name as your movie files.
There is also an option to enable subtitles, do you have that option enabled?
Try also this: in Network Manual Settings disable IPv6
OK, so your gateway address is definitely .254.
Since you set your network properties on Pi manually, you should set it like this:
IPv4 => 192.168.1.50 (any # between .10 and .63)
Subnet mask => 255.255.255.0
Gateway => 192.168.1.254
DNS1 => 192.168.1.254
DNS2 => 8.8.8.8
DNS3 => 8.8.4.4
If this does not work, then it is not your Pi settings, but something else...
BTW, you should increase DHCP Lease time (Durata lease) on your router. 10 min is to short and typical for coffee bars
What is your router's IP address? (Mine is, for example 192.168.1.1)
What are your exact settings that you put in RPi?
Can you log on to your router and check what are DHCP pool settings. If you can change it, then set DHCP pool range from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200. After that you can assign any free IP address from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.99 on your RPi.
If you are on a windows machine, open Command Prompt and run ipconfig/all command. It will show you all devices with IP addresses on your network. This way you can make sure what is actually your Gateway IP address.
Btw, did you try turning your BD off, and then use the same network settings on your Pi?
When you change any settings on Pi, are they saved when you reboot your Pi?
When you set manualy IP addresses on your RPi you have to use router's IP address for Gateway.
Looking at your BD Player settings I would say that your router's IP is 192.168.1.254. Use that IP for Gateway and DNS 1, and try if it will work. If not, find out the correct router's IP address...
I have run 'average' 1080p hevc videos on an overclocked RPi-2 and there are plenty of moments where the RPi 2 simply couldn't keep up.
From what I know, the RPi2 and 3 do not differ that much in HEVC performance, but perhaps that difference has changed by now.
The Wetek HUB and GT1030 I have perform much better for obvious reasons.
I am refering only to RPi3 which I have, and with it on latest Milhouse builds have no problems playing 10bit HEVC with 5.1 audio.
RPi2 still cannot do that...
10bit HEVC video requires a dedicated video card to properly display those videos. An RPi 2/3 can do 'simple' 8 bit HEVC videos, but the 2009 smartphone GPU that it has, is obviously no match for today's 10bit high-bitrate HEVC videos.
You simply need better video hardware for that. Don't expect PC performance from a $35 kids toy with a 2009 GPU inside.
Well, on RPi3 with latest Milhouse builds 10bit HEVC works OK, even 1080p if not coded with to high bitrate. To play such video content on Pi3, a good power supply and a CPU cooler is needed.
But I have noticed that when navigating through the kodi gui it seems a little stuttering is present and overall the performance just seems a little slower.
Could this be because it is now running in 1080p.
I've never touched any settings I always leave everything as default except for adding my mpeg2 licence.
Could it be that it needs optimising if so what do you guys change to get the best out of the pi3, or is it pretty much optimised already from the word go.
Go to Settings > Interface > Skin > Configure skin > then turn off "Use slide animations" and see if it helps.
Put your SD card in a Windows PC, and you'll see contents of Fat32 card's partition. There you'll see a file named "config.txt". Open that file with any text editor (Notepad will do) and copy "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi" text (without quotes 
and paste it to the end of config.txt file. Save the file and try it on Pi if it works as expected...
Thanks for the prompt reply! Unfortunately that didn't work:
For hdparm command to work try this:
create "autostart.sh" file and place it in /storage/.config/
autostart.sh sholud look something like this:
#!/bin/sh
(sleep 60;
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda1
)&This example will wait 60sec for drive to mount and it should turn the drive off after 10min of inactivity...
C/P
How to disable only the onboard wifi:
add: "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi" to /flash/config.txt and reboot
You have 2 options.
First, configure universal remote to control your tv, and over CEC also your RPi.
Second, install addon "script.keymap" to configure buttons on your present tv remote.
Maybe we don't understand each other...
I am using my Harmony 525 as the main remote for my tv, and then control my Pi (connected to HDMI tv input) via CEC. I have no special settings for Harmony on Pi, it works "out of the box" i.e. nothing is changed in my remote.conf. All I did is configured CEC options on Pi.
