On Rpi2 if you update from LE addon it's downloading 10.0.4 instead of this..basically I was on 10.0.4 and after update I was still on 10.0.4..

Thanks for clearing this up..

Software decode will drive up the CPU usage and increase temps so get a decent passive cooling case (flirc case is highly recommended). The RPi4 SoC is designed to run much hotter than you're seeing .. it's not some fragile thing that must run at 40ºC.

Hi Chewitt quick question..

Are you sure streams using widevine are using software decoding?

Why does my video info popup says hardware decoding active while streaming a show from an addon that uses widevine?

peno64 could it be you are disabling hardware decoding?

Where are you getting stuck?Did you find an openvpn server addon?

I m using this and it's very easy to setup but its for Rpi's but you can always ask on that thread for any help to get it working on your nuc Open vpn server

Keep in mind that by setting up the server you ll be probably able to access all your brother's home network connected devices not just the nuc..and your connecting device will be like being at your brother s house and assigned the ip from your brother's isp router..

Is that a change in kodi 19.4 that decoding is now done differently than previous versions of kodi? Do you have a reference link on that?

Thank you

Are you keeping your rpi in a hot environment like on top of amplifier or something...75ºC for playing widevine stream I think it's a bit too hot..my old rpi2 doesnt exceed 57ºC on widevine streams itvX etc..

The key password is the password you used when you created your ovpn user key on the server..you will need that to connect otherwise anyone with the ovpn file can connect to your server..

is this supposed to work on rpi4B? i have tried on mine and it doesnt work

Don't see why not..

I have power button with led setup on a rpi2 but slightly different setup then this post regarding led control..

So assuming the eeprom issue is resolved since the start of this thread and you want this setup...you'll have to install rpi tools addon for gpio button control...not sure why it says

install package adafruit-libraries

In Aeon Nox Silvo just put what you want to come up on startup as the 3rd item in the Home menu

Looks interesting, will have a play, Thank you

Problem with Audio Profiles Addon is that it seems that it doesn't save settings like Audio Delay and other settings that have to be set from OSD menu..but ...

You can integrate Audio profiles Addon together with Bluetooth Delay for Kodi

Don't get confused with the bluetooth part...you can rename profile "bluetooth" to let's say profile "projector"

Second problem you will face is that apperently audio delay is set as per video type if you set the delay to be your default for that profile,so if you play the same movie on your TV you ll still have the same delay set but..

If you go to post #26 on the link I posted user VIP made a version of the addon that accepts json api commands containing a forced audio delay command...

So that's what your remote command needs to look like..#26

I don't think so, see the post #3. Yes the original backup writes just some folders from parent /storage but if you make your own backup script, it's up to you. But the original restore can't restore to read only folders.

I mean that i think you can only restore to /storage...regarding backup you can backup anything/anywhere you want but I would keep anything out of /storage to backup to a separate .tar just to have a backup and not to use later for restoring purposes..

edit: looks like we'r saying same thing

I believe you can only write/restore what is backed up from /storage.

Ok,so added the line to config.txt and so far so good..no crashes..I m able to scroll on widgets again and enter menus while a movie is playing in the background..

fingers crossed..

Thanks again

Thanks for the log!

As expected RPi is running out of CMA (graphics) memory

Code

Nov 24 23:49:06.029657 LibreELEC kernel: cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 720 pages, ret: -12
Nov 24 23:49:06.030344 LibreELEC kernel: bcm2835-codec bcm2835-codec: dma_alloc_coherent of size 2949120 failed
Nov 24 23:49:43.019743 LibreELEC kernel: [drm:vc4_bo_create] *ERROR* Failed to allocate from CMA:

You could try with more memory, add eg dtoverlay=cma,cma-384 (or cma-512) to config.txt to increase it from 256 to 384/512 MB or use another less heavy skin.

There's also a long standing issue that kodi buffers way too many pictures than it actually should and thus is eating graphics memory for breakfast - until that's exhausted and it just crashes. Unfortunately there are no fixes for that yet

so long,

Thanks for your quick support..

Problem is I had to update from LE 9 which was working fine due to an addon (new ITV HUB) that wasn't available anymore for kodi Leia..never had these issues on LE 9.

Let me try increasing memory (fingers crossed)..

Looks like it's time to upgrade to a Pi4

Quote from HiassofT

Please use the crash upload function in LE settings (or pastecrash via ssh) to provide logs.

Most likely you are running out of (CMA) memory - the necessary info about that is not in kodi logs, but in pastecrash logs.

so long,

Hias

Here it is..thanks

crash log

Hoping to get some help..

Not sure if this is a known issue..but since LE10.0.* on my rpi I m getting several crashes..

Skin is Aeon Nox Silvo,but issue happened on basically 99% of the skins I tested besides estuary..

To replicate crash...

start movie

go to home menu and

browse movies

scroll widgets

go to kodi settings/addons menu while movie is in the background..

Tried many things like starting from scratch,installing my setup with 1 addon at a time...disabling language invoker on the few addons I had installed etc..

kodi.log

crash log

Depending on what you'r trying to do...and when you want your vpn to be connected or disconnected..

Server or client?

Thanks for the suggestion, both os.system("sudo sleep 5s") and time.sleep(5) seem to work intchangeably.

The led only blinks buring the few seconds of poweoff, which is the expected behavior (the rest of the time it just stays on).

Thanks again for your suggestions, I've been trying to make this script work for quite some time and with your help is was much easier than expected!

LibreELEC:~ # sudo

 There is no working 'sudo'.
 
 On debian/ubuntu/all general purpose linux distributions 'sudo'
 allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser
 or another user, as specified by the security policy
 
 With LibreELEC you have root access by default, so you dont need 'sudo'

this might be it: llctl

You saved my day..yes that's it...updated to LE 10.0.3 and forgot to save a copy of this..working fine..thanks
