I had the same issue of the keyboard not working in Retroarch until I switched off the DS3 controllers.

Every time I connected the DS3 controllers again I got a Retroarch message (in yellow) of the controller getting connected.

After following @dtw_2000 steps here I got both controllers working again, and that also solved the keyboard issue getting non-responsive if the controller is connected.

One question. What is the back button (back in the menu) on the keyboard in the Retroarch menu?

Edit: strange I didn't find this before, it is: Backspace

Edit (2017-11-19):

Restored to LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0-devel-20170621.img.gz for the moment, and with this image I don't have an issue stopping Spotify using [ALT]+[ESC].

Edit (2017-11-12):

Found a bit of a workaround.

copied the Estuary skin to storage, and added a menu item to kill spotify, and start pulseaudio again.

~~I haven't played much with it yet, but found just killing spotify + starting pulseaudio wasn't enough.~~

See note below.

Code

cp -r /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.estuary/ /storage/.kodi/addons/
vi /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary/xml/Home.xml
:901
<add below additional menu item>
systemctl stop kodi
systemctl start kodi

Item menu added:

Code

<item>
        <label>Stop Spotify</label>
        <onclick>XBMC.System.Exec(/storage/.config/stopspotify.sh)</onclick>
        <thumb>DefaultAddonMusic.png</thumb>
        <property name="id">Stop Spotify</property>
</item>

NOTE: Below script isn't optimal, and I observe that I need to execute it twice to 'hear the click sound' while navigating the menu in Kodi. Killing spotify, and starting something with audio does work already with the first try. Executing the scrip form cli always gives the 'click sound' the first time, but not from within Kodi? (You can test with: sh -x /storage/.config/stopspotify.sh )

Script:

# cat /storage/.config/stopspotify.sh

Bash

#!/bin/sh
pkill spotify
sleep 3
#systemctl stop pulseaudio
#kodifreeze.sh freeze muteonly
systemctl start pulseaudio
#kodifreeze.sh unfreeze muteonly

chmod +x /storage/.config/stopspotify.sh

[/Edit]

Edit 2 (2017-11-12):

Just to give a better problem description including the use of above script:

- Staring Spotify normally always works (99%)

- Closing the Spotify window with [ALT]+[ESC] always works (100%), but nearly always (95%) of the time sound keeps going.

- Using above script from CLI always works (100%) to kill Spotify and get sound back to Kodi.

- Using above script from the added Kodi menu always kills Spotify (100%), and always works (100%) to have sound for started items (e.g. LiveTV, video, music), but menu-sound (moving through the menu with a remote gives a click sound) only get restored after a second time (100%).

[/Edit 2]

==================================================================================================================

Now playing with Spotify I do noticed sound keeps running after quitting (ALT+ESC).

Had the same yesterday also.

But already indicating the Tronsmart Ara X5 Plus is picky regarding microSD cards.

[/Edit3]

A microSD On the Tronsmart Ara X5 Plus is not working.

I'm trying to use a FAT32 formated microSD card in the external microSD slot, but get the following error:

I tried a full format to FAT32 (on a windows machine), but no change.

Beside the normal LibreELEC backup are there other locations to backup.? E.g. I'm looking at /storage/.local/.

Edit, from #1970 I knew I need to change /storage/.config/asound.conf to hdmi:CARD=Audio,DEV=2

Edit (2017-11-05): I have not observed these 'continuous' crashes after:

1) upgraded to LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20171016.tar (cherry trail specific image).

2) replaced my USB3-HUB (including its power supply).

I suspect the upgrade solved the 'continuous' crashes. The replacement of the USB3-HUB looks to have solved the difficulty to power-up the system with all devices connected. (I think my old hub had a power related issue).

I'm still monitoring my system, and still see a Kodi crash once in a few days, but that looks different from this issue.

[/edit]

For some time (few weeks I suspect) Kodi is crashing often.

I thought it was a USB 3.0 Hub, but today without this hub connected I observed the same issue.

I cannot reproduce it easily, but if it is present it is sometimes difficult to get the HTPC working normally again.

E.g. multiple reboots or even multiple power-cycles (but without the USB-hub, this looks less of an issue)

I'm a bit afread it is hardware related.

Hardware details:

- Tronsmart Ara X5 plus (Intel Atom x5 Z8300 cherry trail),

- Pulse-eight CEC USB Adapter (in use from 15-July-2017)

- Anysee E30 ComboPlus TV tuners

- IMON LCD display

And also '09_Journal-cur.log' shows the crashes.

The TVHeadend log '11_Addons.log' gives some hints when this might have started. Searching for 'Disconnected' gives the timestamps.

(continuously from 2017-10-31 00:23:10.035 till 2017-10-31 10:44:17.913 when the logs where taken.)

I hope it is possible to identify a cause from the logs.

(I removed '05_Network.log' from the archive, found it revealing quite a bit if details. Ssh is working during the crahses, so don't expect the issue to be network related.)

Does the Tronsmart Ara X5 Plus support 3D playback? (yes, see edit below)

I have a Tronsmart Ara X5 Plus with 'LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0-devel-20170621' installed.

My TV is a Samsung UE40D6530, which does support 3D (using active glasses (SSG-3050GB)).

With the RPi3 I can watch a movie in 3D (for a minute, until the cpu gets too hot, and starts to throttle).

But with the same settings, 3D playback in not working on the Tronsmart.

3D settings (default):

- Settings > System settings > Display > Stereoscopic 3D mode / Current > Disabled

- Settings > System settings > Display > Prefered mode > Same as movie

- Settings > Player settings > Video > Playback mode of stereoscopic 3D videos > Ask me

- Settings > Player settings > Video > Disable stereoscopic 3D mode when playback ended > selected

I'm happy with the Tronsmart, I do miss CEC support enormously (found that Pulse Eight has a solution for that).

3D would be nice, but can easily live without.

All other (Live-TV, iMon display, external HDD, ...) is working better than with the RPi3.

Escalade, thank you for this build.

Edit (2017-07-21):

3D:

Got 3D playback working. On Kodi I keep the default selection, and it will output 'side by side' Stereoscopic 3D mode. On the TV (e.g. using '3D' button on the remote, or via menu) also select the 3D side by side option. And it should work.

CEC:

Received the 'Pulse eight CEC usb adapter', and it works great.

Makefile:12: recipe for target 'image' failed
make: *** [image] Error 1

RomMon

Using the clean script for busybox seem to cause a rebuild of the build environment(, and fails with compilation of e2fsprogs).

(same for using the clean script for e2fsprogs)

Initial state:

Initially I successfully compiled an 'stock' 8.0.2 image (see [Fixed] Compile error LE 8.0.1, xz: (stdin): File format not recognized), following the wiki page: index.php?title=Compile

Re-compile busybox

To re-compile busybox (e.g. without any config changes made yet) I expected the following would be the required steps:

PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm scripts/clean busybox

PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm make image

I hoped the script more to behave like:

cd ~/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.1/busybox-1.25.1/

make clean

cd ~/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.1/.stamps

rm -r busybox

Questions

1) Is it expected behaviour that 'scripts/clean busybox' cause so many packages to be rebuild?

2) What are the advised steps to re-compile busybox for the target (PRi2)?

3) Is it possible/needed to properly fix the 'Permission denied' failures for re-compiling e2fsprogs?

4) Is there a fix for the second make error "Could NOT find FreeType (missing: FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR) (found version "18.5.12")"?

Resulting steps

(long list just to give in idea how many packages are rebuild)

Thanks for clearing that up.

It does give me an error messages while re-squasing:

Code

Failed to read file ~/LibreELEC.tv/deleteme/squashfs-changed/etc/shadow, creating empty file

I have not het tried to use a re-squashed image yet, but the file in a compiled image is not empty.

Had also a bit similar questions regarding /usr/bin/busybox and /usr/lib/dbus/dbus-daemon-launch-helper, but you clear those also.

(e.g. LibreELEC.tv/package.mk at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

LibreELEC.tv/package.mk at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub)

RomMon

While looking into unsquash/re-squash an image I see that the file permissions of an image are different from the build directory for /etc/shadow.

Build directory:

Code

ls -l ~/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.2/image/system/etc/shadow

-rw------- 1 <user> <group> 205 Jun  5 15:04 ~/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.2/image/system/etc/shadow

On RPi3 (self compiled 8.0.2 image):

Code

ls -l /etc/shadow

----------    1 root     root           205 Jun  5 09:04 /etc/shadow

Is it expected that there is a difference?

(unsquashed:

Code

ls -l ~/LibreELEC.tv/deleteme/squashfs-root/etc/shadow 

---------- 1 <user> <group> 205 Jun  5 15:04 ~/LibreELEC.tv/deleteme/squashfs-root/etc/shadow

)

I have similar issues with LE 8.0.1, and suspected my hardware (dual hdd enclosure).

Can you verify directly after an event with:

Code

mount

and verify if the USB drive got a new 'device node' assigned (e.g. /dev/sdb1)?

Also check the last lines in the output of:

Code

dmesg

and look for hdd related messages.

The drive that showed this behavior in my setup is an ext4 partitioned drive.

(I'm not near my RPi, so cannot verify the messages I have seen.)

Edit (2017-05-28): I only started to use this (dual) USB HDD after having 8.0.1.

Congratulation.

Thanks!

Quote from vpeter

Yes, there were some changes and required fixes are already send to repository.

Thanks again. I see them on githup

Buzzthebuzzsaw, vpeter,

With your combined advice I finished my first image.

Code

$

The only change I made was with ~/http://LibreELEC.tv/packages/tools/dtc/package.mk changing the download from a xz compressed file to a gzip compressed file.

RomMon

Buzzthebuzzsaw,

You are right it is not a tar.xz compressed file but tar.gz.

Code

$ file dtc-1.4.2.tar.xz  
dtc-1.4.2.tar.xz: gzip compressed data, from Unix

On the site I also only see tar.gz sources available: dtc/dtc.git - The Device Tree Compiler

Changing it to a tar.gz makes it continue:

Code

vi ~/LibreELEC.tv/packages/tools/dtc/package.mk  
 change PKG_URL="[url]https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/dtc/dtc.git/snapshot/$PKG_VERSION.tar.xz[/url]"
 to PKG_URL="[url]https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/dtc/dtc.git/snapshot/$PKG_VERSION.tar.gz[/url]"
rm ~/LibreELEC.tv/sources/dtc/dtc-1.4.2.tar.xz*
cd ~/LibreELEC.tv
PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm make image

The md5sum is still the same, but now for the correct filetype:

Code

$ cat ~/LibreELEC.tv/sources/dtc/dtc-1.4.2.tar.gz.md5
04891daf4544da49958b60109ed4beb1  sources/dtc/dtc-1.4.2.tar.gz

make output:

Get the following error while compiling a LE 8.0.1 image.

Last lines of the output:

Code

UNPACK   bcm2835-driver
  UNPACK   dtc
xz: (stdin): File format not recognized
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Makefile:12: recipe for target 'image' failed
make: *** [image] Error 2
@libreelec:~/LibreELEC.tv$

Based on the output I get that the unpack of dtc fails.
But don't see an issue with the file.

Code

Edit. Missed the update from vpeter.
