So the best way is to use AppleTV connected with kodi...right? what about miracast or casting from Android..Do I need also chromecast or is there any solution?

Thanks

From android you have no issues...you can stream any video,picture or audio to LE

You can do it manually...it takes a bit of work...

create a folder for each movie..

Name that folder like the movie..

in each folder make another folder and name it .actors if you want to show also the actors and place the images of the actors in there..

make sure you have the poster and fanart in the parent folder for each movie..name them like the movie

nameofmovie-fanart.jpg

nameofmovie-poster.jpg

The all you need is the .nfo edited for each movie

here is an example

You can also just edit the nfo by pointing to online thumbs instead of local...might be easier

You can have only 1 audio at one time for obvious reasons..

Thats wonderful, but when I use a STRM and another HTTP live audio stream, either the one plays and the other doesnt,

now according to the kodi documentation kodi is able to have two players running at the same time, I've been thinking of using this approach to solving my problem, however I dont know how to run a second player at the same time using another thread

With that addon you can have up to 5 streams at the same time...4 cameras and your music/movie in the background

Few examples how it works...small and large preview and 2 or 4 cameras

Just to let you know it's working fine...just tried it..listening to music/radio and streaming my camera

Strange...was working for me with a movie with audio and camera preview at same time....don't think I tried it with music on and camera preview tough but I assume it should work the same way...

That should work...ex you can watch a movie and watch your camera at the same time,,,I tried that before and worked fine....all you need to do is map a key on your remote for your camera stream preview and while watching your movie or listening to your music you click that button and you get a second picture pane with your camera...actually you can do that with more then 1 camera stream but if you are using a RPi it will struggle with more then 2 streams especially if they are HD...it's called PiP Picture in Picture...

So first you start your music and after you get your camera stream....

edit: I used this addon..don't think it's the same one suggested above surveillanceroom

Just tried the PWM with my setup and fan is working fine...gpio remains the same as before gpio12/pin18...so just had to change line 7 for PWM to work with Libreelec to

sys.path.append('/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.rpi-tools/lib')

Changed dc input from the 3.3 to the 5v pin now as fan is mostly running on low speed...before was always on 3.3 cause was bit noisy on 5v as always running on full speed on or off...

...I ll let you know how it goes..

Just missing the logging now...

What makes you think that long press Ok is context menu?was it working before?

In most CEC instances there is no CEC context button enabled by default and all you have to do is map a button on your remote...Use a button that you don't normally use for anything else kodi related...

Start by installing Keymap Editor addon from kodi repo..and map a global-navigation-context menu button that works anywhere in kodi unrelevant of what window you are on..

Sorry I didn't check the forum for a long time.

The fan is simple DC fan 5V purchased from Aliexpress. Yes it is 2 wire.

And sorry for posting here as at that time I was using Openelec. I have recently switched to Libreelec and will shortly implement this too.

For PWM you can check here

https://sourceforge.net/p/raspberry-gpio-python/wiki/pwm/

So basically I can leave the same setup...just editing line 7 of your script to match Libreelec Tools...and line 13 for gpio pin I ll be using?

Would be nice if someone manages to add some type of logging for this script.

so there is no easy way to scrape roms then.

I have my whole rom collection scraped and backed up on my computer from retropie.

now if i transfer that over to libreelec they do not shows but if i edit the gamlist.xml and alter the file location it works.

Surely i do not need to edit every single entry within that xml to match.

Thanks

I'm not sure if game lists from retropie are compatable with libreelec...but if you edited file location and it's working you can just edit them all at once with Notepad++...

About if there is an easier way I m not sure...but fastscraper.bat is very easy....you just edit few lines in script for what kind of artwork you need...like 3d,covers,snapshots etc..it's also very fast to scrape..

Quote from robmcc83

ok ill have a look into it.

Also ive noticed that the scraper doesnt work using emulation station.

Can anyone help me with that

Thanks

Rob

I scraped all my games from Pc with sselph scraper and just mass edited xml with notepad so to use same thumbs with both advanced launcher and ES but that was about 2 years ago and I m not sure about details...the best script for me to scrape was Fastscraper..look for it on github and save script to .bat on your pc

Hi i have just installed gamestarter and there is no sound in emulation station and retroarch.

So heres the deal. I have a fresh install of libreelec 8.2.5 on my raspberry pi 3.

Setting it all up with me media etc then getting onto setting up gamestarter.

I installed emulationstation,retroarch then downloaded all lakka core package from the retroarch menu.

I then loaded retroarch configured my ps3 controllers to use wireless and back to kodi interface.

then launched emulation station and noticed no sound, i then launched a rom and also noticed no sound within game either.

So heres the strange part. i went exited retroarch and emulation station back to kodi, using my tv remote to navigate kodi i got gui sounds but using the ps3 controller to navigate gives me no gui sound, is the normal behaviour and also could anyone point me in the write direction so get the sound working.

Thanks

Rob

Post #741 should get you going..

Your question makes all the difference...How the system knows how to match the channels from my iptv to the ones on the guide.xml?

You probably have to do it manually...the "system" doesn't know that channel x on your EPG xml is channel y on your playlist so you have 2 options..

You can either edit your channel names in your playlist to match the channel names in your WebGrab++.config.xml.. iptv simple client will then match the names..

or you can add something like this in your playlist:

This way you can leave channel name as is in playlist and just edit the "x" to match the WebGrab++.config..

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="x" tvg-name="x",channel name

Otherwise you can take an easier approach and edit the WebGrab++.config.xml directly without touching your playlist...

Just edit the "xyz" to match the channel name in your playlist...

<channel update="i" site="whatever.com" site_id="99" xmltv_id="xyz">xyz</channel>

Hi all

I have LE on and s905x and have install retroarch, ES and AEL. All latest versions from repo.

I’ve added a rom to the correct folder but ES won’t open. Nor will the other Addons.

The bios folder is empty which I think may be come of the issue.

Can anyone tell me how I get bios files?

I’m so looking forward to trying this.

This is for Rpi and Generic...don't think it will work on amlogic but I'm sure there are builds of LE for Amlogic with Retroarch and ES

If you want to transfer files from your phone to Libreelec you can do it wirelessly by using ES File Explorer on your phone...if you just want to play your media from your phone without transfering it use Music pump or Yatse

Are you trying to play media from your phone to Kodi/Libreelec?..just use Yatse or Music Pump apks,,,
