Does no one else have this problem?..

HD44780 on RPi3 with I2C is 100% working?

I wonder what changed since the earlier versions, in them i have a working LCD over the GPIO's.

When i use the driver from "LCDd old" i get the same message.

When i switch in LCDdproc to "imonlcd" instead of "HD44780" i get this:

Code

LCDd version 0.5dev starting

Ok, checked the drivers you attached. Still not working...

What should i do with the HD44780-rpi.c and HD44780-rpi.h?

Maybe something still wrong with my LCDd.conf?

Do you have a working LibreElec Image with the LCD working i can download?

XBMC LCDproc is installed.

HD44780-ROM A00 is selected.

Do i need to use remote LCDproc-Server? (127.0.0.1:13666)

I2CTools is not installed, i thougt the connection i use is different than I2C?

Raspberry Pi Tools is installed now, what have i do with them? It says "Console Addon only"

I installed your driver at /storage/.config/raspdrivers/ and changed the DriverPath in the LCDd.conf.

But, same error

There is no directory named "/addon_data/http://service.lcdd/config" at my RPI3.
I have a directory called "/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.lcdd" in which my LCDd.conf is.

I have now the following error message:

I installed LibreElec 7.95.2 on my RPI3 (fresh) an tried to use LCDdproc with my HD44780 Display connected by GPIO.

I have an earlier Version of LibreElec working on this System with Display. I used the following Manual to configure (its in German):
LCD-Display HD44780 20×4 unter Openelec und Kodi(XBMC) an der Raspberry Pi – Michael Diesterhöft

My LCDd.conf, Driver and LCD.xml are attached.

LCDd.conf is in:
/storage/.kodi/addons/http://service.lcdd/config

Driver is in:
/storage/.kodi/addons/http://service.lcdd/lib/lcdproc

LCD.xml is in:
/storage/.kodi/userdata

I also tried with the original LCDd.conf and driver.

I have both addons (LCDproc and XMBC LCDproc) installed and configured.

I get the following error when i try to start lcdd manually:

Code

Driver [hd44780] init failed, return code -1
Could not load driver hd44780
There is no output driver
