Does your on-startup library scan finish quickly or hang for ages?

not sure what thats got to do with it, but its pretty quick (which makes sense as there is no connection...)

Jester Skinning is not our forté so we would welcome suggestions (and ideally code) that make the LE settings add-on work better or behave neutrally with other skins. The add-on was originally created for Confluence and has been lightly hacked for Estuary (1) so I'm sure improvements are needed for Estuary (2) let alone other established skins like Amber/Nox/etc.

Understood, I will have a look at the code when I have some time over the weekend.
Cheers

it will just continue if the network is up.

thats strange, as i'm getting directory not found errors on start-up:

1:49:44.728 T:139836014982912 NOTICE: VideoInfoScanner: Starting scan ..
21:49:44.906 T:139835018856192 ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting
21:49:45.152 T:139835975165696 ERROR: Previous line repeats 6 times.

which I don't get when I do a manual scan after letting it sit for a few seconds after kodi start.

how does it detect the network is up ? and this is logic change recently ? with alpha 8 or 7 it was sitting on the kodi logo screen for 5 seconds (what I set in the config add-on) and then continued...

(btw this is on an intel nuc, wired connection)

the setting writes to "/storage/.cache/libreelec/network_wait"
with the following contents

Code

WAIT_NETWORK="true"
WAIT_NETWORK_TIME="10"

Thanks, so i've manually updated that to 30 (so I'm assuming it waits 30 seconds, or do it continue when it sees the network come up ?" and after a reboot it doesn't seems to "wait" for 30 second or at all...

Being the current Amber skin dev, I have to agree with this issue,

It seems libreelec add-on was written only for estuary and is using estuary font names and estuary only included background names, this means it will break on most (probably all) other skins. see -> Merge pull request #20 from lrusak/estuary · LibreELEC/service.libreelec.settings@7b04bb8 · GitHub

I find it a bit short sighted to say "it works with estuary, so it must be a skin issue" when its actually an add-on "issue", which basically forces ALL skin devs to put changes in their skin just to support this add-on, which to me is going a bit far....

Just my 2 cents...

Using v7.90.009 ALPHA, it looks like Libreelec settings add-on is not writing the "wait for network before starting kodi" setting

If I remember correctly, (not sure) it used to write startup.sh and put a delay=X in there, it doesnt seem to be doing this and on start-up there is no delay inserted.

In my case (intel nuc) is means no network until after my movies/tv/music scan, hence nothing new its found.

Thanks for looking into this.

It's a known issue with the current inputstream.rtmp add-on. Will be fixed with 7.90.005, not sure if there's going to be a temporary fix in the meantime.

The issue is back in v7.90.009 ALPHA

trying to install the add-on from the repo doesn't work

we have the same patches LibreELEC.tv/projects/imx6/patches/libcec at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

why do you think patches for imx6 and amlogic would help on your Generic hardware?

you have some of them, not all, why not include them ? but it's a fair question, I was just looking for a dif between why its working fine on Openelec and crashing on LibreElec, and this was the only thing related to CEC I could come up with.

I'm currently still digging, the only other time Openelec crashed libcec was when the system time jumps back (bios time set at CET, then ntp update and it crashed, so now I have set my bios time at UTC and let ntp update it so it will always jump forward without problems)

any ideas are welcome but i'll report back.

Update:

Very strange (and i'm still testing) for some reason the option to wait x seconds for the network to start in the libreconfig addon wasn't copied over from openelec, I enable it and voila, CEC works...but it makes no sense....

Hi,

Can you include these patches:
OpenELEC.tv/packages/devel/libcec/patches at master · OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv · GitHub
libcec-00-imx6-support.patch
libcec-01-imx6-p8-platform.patch
libcec-03-amlogic-support.patch

here:
patches

Currently LibreELEC crashes when I want to use CEC on my Intel NUC with P8 internal CEC adapter, the only dif. between OpenELEC (which works fine) and LibreELEC are the above patches.

Thanks.
