Although I have a setup similar to yours and don't have that issue you can add this line to config.txt to then set your display settings without monitor attached to hdmi...

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

heya, thanks for this repo.

I'm new to retrogaming on LibreElec, so I'm a bit confused about the various options.

I've installed MAME 2003 Plus with the builtin libreelec libretro support and I've a bunch of ROMs I can play.

The only annoying thing for me is that I need to browse through them as .zip files.

I'd like to have a GUI ROM browser that shows game names, metadata, screeshots, etc.

What is the best way to achieve that?

Do I need this repo? Or is there a simpler add-on in the standard add-on market?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers

Advanced Emulator Launcher and Retroarch from this Repo does what you want....

The fans should just switch on when your Pi is booted up...if they didn't they might be faulty..assuming that they are just normal fans with no circuit...

If you want to trigger the fans from script you ll need a transistor either way you go..both PWM or just ON/OFF depending on Temp...otherwise your other option is always ON..

It's not hard really to wire them..you don t even need solder if you r not good in soldering..just use DuPont connectors..

Here is all you need

Any success with this?

I v also been trying for a while but never succeeded..

I m just using autostart.sh to mount my sshfs server..

I've obviously read post #12 and I've also explained the reasons why I don't think it applies to my case. Thanks anyway.

EDIT: I need to apologize both with Mario77 and gedakc. Going into details, I've missed the most obvious thing: deinterlacing always happens, no matter if the contents are locally stored, internet based or broadcasted on DVB-T! Stupid me! Indeed I've choosen MMAL - BOB as the default deinterlacing method for all kind of videos selecting the gear icon from the OSD and now (but my testing has been very limited, only one minute of viewing; I would come back with the results of a more thorough use) HD contents seem fine with no need for buying any codec or else. Usually, they began to stutter immediately so it is at least a good sign!

Yeah that should solve your issue...I v been there few years ago playing around with BOB and same trick applies today

Thanks for your quick help..

That trick worked nicely and autostart works fine now..

Regarding the mount I have tried before to mount it via system.d but was having no success whatsoever and just gave up and went down the easy way..

This is not a normal mount but an sshfs mount which is 2500km away...saying that it works fine through autosatart..so maybe I was doing something wrong although I was following a thread here and there where other people having issues..

It is indeed used for tvheadend recordings but not directly...

Recordings go on the server just in case there is a problem with the network...so if I loose connection for some reason to the box in the middle of a recording it wont be lost..after a recording is finished I made a script which runs comskip and then rsync recording to my country..after that the mount is used for TvHeadend api/dvr/entry/filemoved to edit TvH recordings logs to point to local hdd where the recordings are being moved..

So i m trying to setup a command with autostart.sh

command works fine..

autostart.sh works fine...command executed..

Command is for mounting an sshfs share remotely for recordings which also works fine..

My issue is that this Rpi is only used as a TvHeadend server and had kodi always disabled and do everything I need trough SSH..

Kodi is disabled by the kodi.service in .config system.d

Problem is that when kodi is disabled,autostart won't work/start...

Is there any way I can make autostart.sh work without kodi running...

Or does it makes sense if I let kodi start normally...autostart.sh executed and add stop kodi to autostart after my mount command?

Thanks

Well I answered my own question...so let kodi start and run autostart and then stop kodi works fine..

Still can't understand why autostart.sh needs kodi.service to work...

Maybe someone can shed some light?

A brief update on the stuttering 'issue'. I've bought a TV hat and the stuttering with HD contents (over DVB-T, we aren't talking about network contents nor recordings or local files in general) is even worse than how it was with the Xbox One tuner. By what I know (but I may be wrong) HD contents should be MPEG-4 here in my country so purchasing the MPEG-2 codec should be useless while, not being a recording, I can't follow gedakc advices (thanks anyway!).

I've made some digging and I've found some threads like this or even more this one. Unfortunately, I'm still missing how to sum everything up...

EDIT: I've just checked and the HD contents which stutter are H.264 1080p while SD contents (absolutely fine) are MPEG-2 576p.

see post #12..that should solve your issues..

They have to be named properly and in the proper folder...

TVShows Folder/Battlestar Galactica (2003)/Season 1/Battlestar Galactica (2003)-S01e02-Water.ts

or

TVShows Folder/Battlestar Galactica (2003)/Season 1/S01e02-Water.ts

or

TVShows Folder/Battlestar Galactica (2003)/Season 1/S01e02.ts

You add "TVShows folder" as source not Battlestar Galactica (2003) otherwise you ll have to change the setting to "this folder only contains 1 tvshow in scraper settings"...

Quote from Iridium

@JanneK I've moved from LE to Raspbian for TVH so I'm not totally sure of file locations.

Your easiest solution is to put the full path of the script in TVH --> Configuration --> Recording --> Profile --> Post-processor command.

Use "%b" to add the TVH filename as input to the script. This works fine for SD. HD files take forever to process (More than the actual program length).

So for me: /home/pi/bin/QTVHComskip "%b"

Batch processing does have issues unless you are sure no recording will take place whilst the script is running. I got round this by writing a script that moves the file in question once it has completed recording

Find the comskip executable with which comskip

This is the script I used for batch processing: Change .txt to .sh

Qcomskip.txt

Hi Iridium

I m trying your batch script for comskip..

My problem is I have my recordings in various subfolders..

cd /var/media/HDD/Tv_Shows_Recordings

this command only processes recordings in that folder..

Do you have any idea how can I make this script to work with subfolders..

Thanks

Anyone know if I can dual boot it with RetroPie?

The rsync command isn't installed by default:

Code

 # rsync
-sh: rsync: not found

# find / -name rsync
(nothing returned)

I've read you need to install Network Tools, but I'm not sure how. I didn't see it listed under Add-ons.

just install rsync on both sides...in libreelec it's part of network tools addon

it's in libreelec repo

Maybe you should try VNC from Android..install vnc server on LE..

Quote from JohandeWit

it seems to me that Kodi is transcoding this video since one of the cores is running at 100%, all the time.

Why is Kodi doing this? It should be a supported resolution right?

codec info should show if hardware decoding is active?

looks like it doesn't on your setup...it probably depends on what skin you r using..

setup the cronjob like this,it should work

* * * * * kodi-send --action='PlayMedia("/storage/.kodi/userdata/playlists/music/morningplaylist.m3u")'

* * * * * kodi-send --action='PlayMedia("/storage/.kodi/userdata/playlists/music/lunchplaylist.m3u")'

Go to tvheadend UI settings configuration--General--Base--scroll down to http server settings and set authentication type to both plain and digest...that should download your picons...type:

Quote from Hauke

Sorry for not answering this - I think no need to try this - see my last post - especially the Edits...

Strange one but glad it s working...probably you can mount your network location to your LE instead of moving recordings..

I see you have teletext in your recordings?Can you try to disable that from tvheadend side..create a blacklist from stream profile you are using to record?
