Download an appropriate picons set from https://openpicons.com/?dir=full-motor-utf8snp/hardlink to /storage/picons/tvh and then reset the icons in the Tvheadend GUI so they are picked up. I've found that I needed to delete /storage/picons/tvh and then move/rename the unpacked folder to that location.

Done

I found https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/solved-my-rf…di-v17/22118/46 from a Google search on the USB device IDs. I'm not sure it's the same problem, and it would be interesting to see journalctl | paste output from the system before and after the following udev rule is created in /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/51-not-a-joystick-rm.rules .. beware the line-wrapping in the forum, it should be two lines:

# /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/51-not-a-joystick-rm.rules
# based on: https://github.com/denilsonsa/udev-joystick-blacklist

SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="25a7", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2402", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=="?*", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=""
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="25a7", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2402", KERNEL=="js[0-9]*", RUN+="/usr/bin/rm %E{DEVNAME}", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=""

EDIT: linking https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1189 too; which looks to be a different issue that mentions the same devices ID's, but might somehow be relevant since we use RPi kernel and not mainline kernel sources for RPi images so the change will be present in our kernel.

Disable the internal screen first then so there's a single device, then it will run.

Once complexity reaches a certain point it's time to look for a Docker container that a) has everything needed, b) is attentively maintained by someone else

I’d build the module with =y so it’s always present and doesn’t need to be loaded. Use two services for the apps if you need to manage start order. Or do in one if they can start more in parallel. Or use one and put whatever sequence you need in a script and execute that from a service. Lots of options; probably no wrong or right and to the question

Run getedid create from the console with HDMI connected and the kernel will always see the TV as connected:

You can also hard-disable the internal screen:

If the issue is something deeper in how the laptop hardware or firmware works, there is nothing we can do. We don't fix laptop firmware

The AMLGX images for GXBB/GXL/GXLX/GXM/G12A/G12B/SM1 boards in my test share have been updated to Linux 7.3-rc2 and contain "some improvements" to hardware decoding capabilities.

I've been testing with GXBB and G12A/B so GXL/GXM/SM1 are not fully tested, but feedback would be interesting.

If you encounter media that doesn't play, I'm interested in 1-5 minute samples that demonstrate the problem.

Enjoy

thomaz https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/pull/2233 and changes should be in the .13 addon in our repo along with some dark-mode theme changes that I pushed last week. Some cleanup might be needed https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/pull/2247 but the scan should complete now.

Are you running the latest nightly?

config SND_ALOOP                                                                          
        tristate "Generic loopback driver (PCM)"                                          
        select SND_PCM                                                                    
        select SND_TIMER                                                                  
        help                                                                              
          Say 'Y' or 'M' to include support for the PCM loopback device.                  
          This module returns played samples back to the user space using                 
          the standard ALSA PCM device. The devices are routed 0->1 and                   
          1->0, where first number is the playback PCM device and second                  
          number is the capture device. Module creates two PCM devices and                
          configured number of substreams (see the pcm_substreams module                  
          parameter).                                                                     
                                                                                          
          The loopback device allows time synchronization with an external                
          timing source using the time shift universal control (+-20%                     
          of system time).                                                                
                                                                                          
          To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module                   
          will be called snd-aloop.

No mention of SND_DRIVERS there ^ so looks like a kernel bug to report and submit a fix for

Honestly no idea and I'm neck-deep in debugging something so not going to spend time looking.

I bumped Kodi four days ago: https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…94747d2db405f63

So update to the latest nightly and it should be there.

If you have a working default image building, edit projects/RPi/devices/RPi4/linux/linux.aarch64.conf to enable the module then rebuild the image and it will rebuild the kernel and update the image.

At least that's the theory. It doesn't work for me on an Amlogic image with linux-7.3-rc2 kernel either, and diff comparing the edited conf and .config file from the kernel build folder shows the kernel has unset CONFIG_SND_ALOOP=m when processing the config; hence nothing gets built.

I will task Claude to investigate the problem once I take a break from some other debugging. I suspect some kind of upstream kernel issue and not something on our side.

Done

Quote from vobs

I would have to rename them like 'Movie.Year.3D.SBS.mkv' – it seems that the letter 'F' is preventing the 3D recognition.

First world problems

echo "127.0.0.1 update.libreelec.tv releases.libreelec.tv" >> /storage/.config/hosts.conf

Run that ^ over SSH

The fix will be in nightlies within 24h of this being merged: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/11756
