  • Dispmanx only for Raspberry Pi?

    escalade,

    I have created an addon based on your package.
    I tested it with 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    It flickers/tears, but less than x11vnc, and it is therefore usable.

    Any idea how I could solve flickering/tearing?
    Thank you in advance.

    I assume you forgot to type /storage in the crontab? Or, does that work?


    I have finally forced cron to work on my RPi by running "systemctl start cron" evidently that forced cron to sync it's clock to the system clock.

    If I add a before.sh or after.sh, are you guys are talking Linux and assuming we all know to add
    #!/bin/sh
    at the top of the script and the chmod 755 script.name?

    Or, that is not needed?

    I also gather those scripts go into /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.webgrabplus ?


    Neither shbang, nor chmod are needed. The service expects before.sh and after.sh to be in the addon home folder.

    What a journey!
    I am back to this addon, even though I don't really want to run it 4 times a day. I could not get cron to run in LibreELEC, I got everything working in Raspbian but could not get Lirc to work (so no Kodi for me), rumor has it that cron works in OpenELEC but can't install mono.

    Luck for me I stored service.webgrabplus.zip on a harddrive since the link in the first post has disappeared.


    Woah!

    Isn't the latest version of WebGrab+Plus available from the LibreELEC repository anymore?

    Moreover, according to the posts in this thread, cron is working on LibreELEC.

    Hallo Motorradfahrer!

    I had a glance at your log, and see nothing abnormal. I will have a closer look when I have the time.

    Bear in mind that I merely maintain the addon, but not WebGrab+Plus. Maybe your issue would be better assessed/solved at the WebGrab+Plus forum.

    The purpose of the addon is to provide simple configuration (ie copy/edit files) of WebGrab+Plus.

    If you delete the service, you break the addon.
    If you do not need the service, you do not need the addon.

    As an alternative, you may use the packaged version of WebGrab+Plus that I maintain and that underlies the addon: GitHub - awiouy/webgrabplus.
    If you download master of that repository (eg with cron), you will get the versions of WebGrab+Plus, siteini.pack, xml_time_correct, WG2MP, etc. used by the addon.
    Note that this requires the Mono addon, and configurations are tailored for /storage/.kodi/addons/service.webgrabplus (see the file layout of the addon).
    You will then be free to define your own automation/scheduling

    As for tvheadend (ie a consumer), it is out of the scope of the addon

    I hope you will find it useful

    I know that the current scheduling is not optimal for everyone.
    However, for now, it runs and fits most use cases (eg LE permanently on, or LE on for the duration of a movie/TV show).
    Incidentally, unless specified otherwise, the is guide merely updated (as opposed to re-created) at every run, and it is not updated in place.

    I intend to move scheduling from system.d to Kodi/Python, but I did not yet find the time to do it, and the desiderata are plethoric and sometimes incompatible.

    Note that contributions to the addon in LE github are welcome!

    Hello!

    I have reworked the addon to build all the required Python packages, rather than lazily copy the spotify-connect-web packaged release.
    This improves the sound quality with onboard audio on my RPi2.

    This however also renders the addon platform specific.

    Here is a preview version for LE8 on RPi2

    Volunteers, please test if this improves sound quality for you, too.

    I am building a preview version for LE7 on WeTek Play, and I will post it in my next reply.

  • Spotify Connect Web

    I am currently reworking the addon to build all required packages with the LibreELEC build system, rather than using pre-built packages. This might pick up LE alsa specifics. Expect preview addons late this week, or early next week.

  • Spotify Connect Web

    BTopbas,

    I am afraid I can not do much, especially with the scarce information I have and without a WeTek Play to test. I will nevertheless have a look at alsa on LE, and see if there is anything I can improve. This might take a while, though.

    Thank you for your patience

  • Spotify Connect Web

    BTopbas,

    Bear in mind that Kodi uses its own audio sink, whereas the addon uses alsa. alsa configuration is quite summary as compared to Kodi audio. alsa and Kodi may not coexist happily.

    I would be interested to know alsa features of the WeTek Play onboard audio.

  • Spotify Connect Web

    Hello BTopas,

    I don't know why the sound quality is bad with your WeTek Play: I have no WeTek Play to test on. I do however know that alsa is merely summarily configured on LibreELEC (by the way, what version of LibreELEC are you using?). You could try to see if alsamixer (shipped with the multimedia-tools addon) enables you to configure your audio device more appropriately.
