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"...

@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?

Check out PINN

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:

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?

Quote from Hauke

It's all recordings.

Which log would I look at? Would teh kodi.log debug log be right? Is ffmpeg involved if I do hardware decoding on RPi 4?

That's the log you posted

Quote from Hauke

Oh, I'm sure it has: The very same video caused problems on one of the earlier versions of LibreELEC bacause of a severe continuity error somewhere in the middle. But if I truncate the video as described earlier, that exact continuity error is in the truncated part, but playback controls are there. I suppose the suggestion that fill bits or something like that cause the issue is more likely. What I'll try is to truncate the file from the back, i.e. cutting away bytes until it works, and then see what actually is in these bytes. Will keep you posted.

Is this issue with 1 recording or with all?

Is the troubling recording the one you uploaded?

You have many ffmpeg errors on your logs..

Quote from Hauke

You say that Rpi2 can do H.265 in software decoding? *wow*...

I a few minutes ago edited my earlier post containing the links, file is back there. Or here

yes it does...been doing 720p for a long time...lately also doing 1080p nicely..

And your recording is also working fine...rewind/ff/pause/etc...probably something to do with Rpi4..

see here

Quote from Hauke

Controls are there, but they don't work... only stop-control has any effect. So I guess the aeon nox silvio is just not as adaptive as estuary...

Play,pause,rewind,ff they all work on mine...try to post the unwatchable sample and i ll try again..

Quote from Hauke

But would it be a hardware decoder thing of the RaspPi, or is it something in Kodi? On my Amlogic device running CoreELEC the exact same files work flawlessly...

On my Rpi 2 it's working fine with skin aeon nox silvo but I only see 2 controls with estuary skin..that s the one you r using..from your screenshot..Libreelec on Rpi...h265 videos where unplayable 2 years ago but now they done a huge inroad and plays flawlessly..
