I tried my favorite ir-remote on the latest libreelec alpha 8.90.006 but it doens't work.

When I ssh in the box and I run ir-keytable (after killing kodi and lircevent) I get htis message:

LibreELEC-core:~ # ir-keytable

/sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory

No devices found

So it doesn't find a IR-receiver. lsmod gives me this:

LibreELEC-core:~ # lsmod

Somebody an idea?

I have a opi one (already added), a Libre tritium H3 and a mele A1000 (under a thick layer of dust).

opi one and libre tritium H3

I'm interested!

Don't bother, I just logged in with ssh and see nbd-client is there. So it should be possible to mount a dvd over the network. Now I have to check if confluence picks it up as a cd-rom. Maybe if I map the device to /dev/sr0.

Possible this is already asked, but a search didn't find a result.

Is it possible to set libreelec as a nbd-client to access a nbd server, so it is possible to acces a dvd-rom over the network. And if yes, can it be binded to the pop-up "play DVD" on the homescreen (I'm still on Confluence) as when you insert a dvd in a native dvd-rom? In general can you configure the "play DVD" pop-up?

For me, travel nirvana is providing each of my kids with their own tablet loaded with movies and music..and headphones.

That was my first idea to, but I just wondered if it was possible. Apparently nobody is interested in this. I would think hotels & other sectors use such technology for infotainment.

I didn't try it but according to this tutorial: How to Stream Videos and Music Over the Network Using VLC

it could be done, probably it can also be captured by kodi.

Are there some vlc wizards here that can make a easy script for vlc so you can launch a stream with a simple clic by changing the default program to launch the movie.

thanks,

I installed emby and tried to stream but it doesn't stream. I will ask on their forums, maybe if you have a premium account it can do it.

If somebody has other suggestions...

I already looked in to emby, but as I understood, it only serves content to the network. So the client choses what to play. Can it also broadcast a stream?

Hello,

I was wondering if there exist a application on linux or android to broadcast a video stream. I want to stream a .mkv file over the home network to different clients. So it acts like live tv.

The reason is when we go on holiday with the van the kids can watch the same video, the video can then be started on the front seat and picked up by android tablets through wifi.

Is something possible, I googled around but didn't find a decent result. Seems VLC can do it, but it's not so easy.

Worth a try. Very frustrating with these builds. I flashed the 06/17 Kodi 17.3 build and the Beelink splash flash a few times and then the critical error on the top. Fantastic weather and I'm inside messing with this old box.

If I remember correctly to flash the downloaded files is via SD card, add the following files from the download and toothpick boot:

factory_update_param.aml

The Eny OTA.zip

recovery.img

However, the eny download also includes the following:

aml_autoscript and U-boot.bin.

and I'm not sure what to do with these.

Hopefully you can help with this.

I was already to sleep yesterday, so I didn't see your post. You have to put them all on the root of the sd-card and then do the toothpick method. If everything is alright you should see the picture of the droid with a spinning wheel in his body. If you are still on TWRP it will not work. Then you have to install the recovery.img first from TWRP (if I remember correctly) and then do the toothpick method again.

If you are not sure you can do following command in a linux terminal: cat factory_update_param.aml

It will show you the text inside of the file. With a little imagination, you can read what files the update needs and what it will do.

You can do the same for the aml_autscript: cat aml_autoscript (make sure you cd to the folder where the files are located).

No, I mean android.

I don't have knowledge of a MXIIIplus, but does it have to be firmware from beelink. Why not try firmware from tronsmart?

I have a Eny M8S and I flashed it with this 5.1 firmware from acemax: ACEMAX Products SW Downloading Center

Worked like a charm, to be honest I never use android, but the box booted without complaint. After the flash, the toothpick method worked (no on and off bootsplash anymore) and I can boot from sd and usb.

You should find a more recent firmware. It's because the installed uboot doesn't accept the aml-autoscript. Try to find a more recent firmware.

just a thought, but I remember when I installed the first time coreelec on my khadas vim, I had to update my dtb file. With the old dtb, my remote didn't work. Maybe there should be done something there.

can it be possible you should change

 # Amlogic IR remote support (yes / no)    
AMREMOTE_SUPPORT="yes"

to

 # Amlogic IR remote support (yes / no)    
AMREMOTE_SUPPORT="no"

in -> /projects/Amlogic/devices/S812/options

I don't find a CONFIG_MESON_IR line in your linux.arm.conf either. But maybe it shouldn't be set there.

Another possibility is this commit from kszaq:

projects/Amlogic: switch to meson-ir, disable amremote · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv@7f343ad · GitHub

-> on your github page it's still there: https://github.com/150balbes/libreelec.tv/blob/amlogic-leia/projects/amlogic/devices/s812/filesystem/usr/lib/libreelec/remote-config

A new problem showed up. I wanted to update with the tar file, but I got this error: Missing (target) files kernel and /system

I burned the MXIII-plus image on my SD-card and otted the M8S from the sd-card. No problems with resizing the storage partition.

After the first-run items I did following:

- Added my remote.conf to the rc_keymaps folder and adjusted rc_maps.conf to use my remote.

- Did the following command: ir-keytable -a /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg -s rc0

- No error messages, but remote didn't seem to work.

- ir-keytable -t didn't respond to the keypresses on the remote.

- ir-keytable without flag gave me this result:

LibreELEC-M8S:~ # ir-keytable

Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event0) with:

Driver: rc-loopback, table: rc-empty

lirc device: /dev/lirc0

Supported protocols: lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6

Enabled protocols: lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6

Name: rc-core loopback device

bus: 6, vendor/product: 0000:0000, version: 0x0001

Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms

So it seems meson-ir is not used by the system.
