I have the same issue with LibreELEC (Leia) v8.90.006 ALPHA on Odroid C2. Was working fine under 8.2.5. I've enabled 'stereo upmix' as a workaround. Will look at getting logs. I tried LibreELEC (Leia) v8.90.007 ALPHA this evening but after a minute or so, Kodi came up and said it was running in safe mode so I rolled back to 006.

Also responded on github. That container is for x86 and thus won't run on arm. I think I have somewhere created a test/dev version that could be converted to an arm version relatively easily. I'll look into it and will let you know.

For reference, linuxserver.io group (which I am a member of) release separate containers for x86_64, arm and aarch64

Wow! Thank you for the prompt reply. I'll respond on GitHub

Hi there, been a while.

Someone asked on my blog if it was possible to install ha-bridge on LE so I thought I'd have a go. I've installed the Docker add-on and run the following:

docker run -d --name="Home-Automation-Bridge" --net="host" -e SERVERIP="192.168.137.8" -e SERVERPORT="80" -v /storage/downloads/habridge:/config:rw -e TZ="Pacific/Auckland" aptalca/home-automation-bridge

But when I look at the container, it says exited.

LibreELEC:~ # docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                            COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS                     PORTS               NAMES
96cc921c5951        aptalca/home-automation-bridge   "/sbin/my_init"     9 seconds ago       Exited (1) 3 seconds ago                       Home-Automation-Bridge

if I run it without the /storage in the config location, I get a different error which I suppose is expected.

docker run -d --name="Home-Automation-Bridge" --net="host" -e SERVERIP="192.168.137.8" -e SERVERPORT="80" -v /downloads/habridge:/config:rw -e TZ="Pacific/Auckland" aptalca/home-automation-bridge

LibreELEC:~ # docker run -d --name="Home-Automation-Bridge" --net="host" -e SERVERIP="192.168.137.8" -e SERVERPORT="80" -v /downloads/habridge/:/config:rw -e TZ="Pacific/Auckland" aptalca/home-automation-bridge

docker: Error response from daemon: error while creating mount source path '/downloads/habridge': mkdir /downloads: read-only file        system.

Before I log something on Github, anyone spot any glaring errors?

Thanks xbmcnut,

My IR sensor is fine. I just put it back in Astock HTPC and still working.
But I also ordered a TSOP4838 sensor so will try tommorrow with that one too.

What type of IR receiver are you using now?

Mine just seems to work without any configuration, sorry. Results from 'irw' below. Could it be your actual sensor?

Here's my GPIO Receiver.

Quote from BiTRiP

It's not working for me either.
LE seems to reconize the receiver perfectly by only adding in device_tree_overlay=lirc-rpi in config.txt.
But it's not receiving any signal by irw using a standard MCE remote from my Asrock HT330 (asrock_ion330ht_blu_ray_4.jpg)

Using LE 7.0.2 on RPI 3.

Any help?

I will try tonight with IRW and report back.

Hi,

I can't get LE v 7.0.0 working with a GPIO IR Remote on a RPi3. I put:

Code

device_tree_overlay=lirc-rpi

in config.txt and when I dmesg I don't receive anything in regards to lirc_rpi.

However when I first install OE and insert above in config.txt and then upgrade to LE, it works. When I dmesg I get:

Code

5.437279] lirc_rpi: auto-detected active low receiver on GPIO pin 18
[    5.437449] lirc_rpi lirc_rpi: lirc_dev: driver lirc_rpi registered at minor = 0
[    5.437453] lirc_rpi: driver registered!
[    5.575090] input: lircd as /devices/virtual/input/input0

Is there something missing in LE v7.0.0 that OE has? Thanks,

I just tried this on 7.0.1 and it worked without any further configuration. I wrote a post on what I did here XBMCNut: How to enable a GPIO IR Receiver on LibreELEC 7.x.x

I just remap keys in harmony / Kodi to do what I want. For example, there is a 'desktop' key in the logitec kodi profile (not needed), which you could use a kemap to bind to suspend.

I make heavy use of the following add-on in getting things set-up: Add-on:Keymap Editor - Official Kodi Wiki

Thanks. I installed Keymap editor once but never used it. I'll give it another try.

Quote from wallacebw

Thanks..

it appears that logitec created a kodi profile, i'm using that with a fre ket remaps for personal preferences and it works well.

add a device manufacturer = microsoft, device = kodi (or xbmc)

This fixed 1 & 2 and eliminated the need for 3 (although this would still be cool)

Microsoft>Kodi does not work for me as Harmony assumes you are running a PC with Kodi on it and there is no sleep/resume function which I'm used to. The only one that works reliably is Micrsoft>Media Center SE.

I am using an Edimax EW-7811UTC dongle and an official Raspberry Pi 3 power supply.

I'm a dumb arse! Of course you are. Try the 2.4Ghz network on that adapter and see if it is more stable.

Quote from nickrob84

Although when it works it works very well, it doesn't seem very reliable interms of holding the connection. I.e 30 mins idle time, go back into Kodi and there is no connection but is fine after a reboot. Anything I can do about the general instabilities? Driver updates etc?

What USB stick did you end up getting and are you using a 2A power supply?

That's great news. Appreciate your help. Wifi was always a fantastic addition to the Raspberry Pi but it just seems to perform so badly. Hopefully the RPI4 will address this with a better solution as near enough every forum relating to the RPI3 you will find people talking about the poor onboard wifi.

So when the dongle turns up. I disable both wired / wireless connections in LibreELEC settings and just let the USB dongle take over and connect to the 5G network? Simple as that?

When you plug in the dongle, you end up with wlan0 (native) and wlan1 (the USB stick). Just choose wlan1 and connect to that. I found that the external 150Mbps 2.4Ghz dongle was marginally faster than the native Wifi at a distance of 5m.

The image stack is as follows:

• Native onboard 2.4Ghz (150Mbps)
• Edimax 2.4Ghz (150Mbps)
• Edimax 5Ghz 802.11ac (600Mbps)

As you can see, the 5Ghz AC connection is nowhere near the theoritical and using a 300Mbps 2.4Ghz (with better range than 5Ghz) would probably achieve that too?

I'll let you know in about 5hrs as I've not tested external WiFi on my new Pi3 yet.

Yep, it will work fine. I've used the following devices on OE without issue.

Cisco-Linksys WUSB600N Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter
EDIMAX WL7811UN 802.11n 150mb Nano USB and clones (do not use)
EDIMAX EW-7811UTC AC600 Wireless USB Adapter. 802.11ac
Tenda W311M Wireless-N150
Tenda W522U dual band wireless N600 USB adapter
TP-Link TL-WN721N 802.11n g/b Wireless USB Adapter
TP-Link TL-WN821N 300Mbps Wireless USB Adapter (preferred)

I'll do some speed testing tonight with a 10-15m range from my EA6500 and use both the internal WiFi and my EDIMAX EW-7811UTC AC600 Wireless USB Adapter and report back.

Try adding a device as a Microsoft Media Center SE as that what I have used on my LE box with an external RC6 IR receiver and also on several Pi's with the same receiver. Works flawlessly. More info here although I found adding the keyboard was not necessary.

It my testing, the 5Ghz dongles make no performace improvements whatsoever and you're better off with a 300Mbps 2.4Ghz dongle like the TP-Link TL-WN821N. I've used these many times with OE but you will need a 2A power supply as you would with a 5Ghz stick.

P.S Although not a neighbour freindly option, you could change your 2.4Ghz network to be 40Mhz wide and that will help with throughtput. With my Pi testing, that made the difference between being able to stream or not on 2.4Ghz when using an external 150Mbps 2.4Ghz dongle. Whatever you do, never use one of those tiny micro USB dongles as they are completely useless with very poor range and throughput.

Have confirmed it's the Hamony activity causing the problem. If I manually start all appliances and use a RC6 media remote, there is no delay. LE is controlled on the Harmony by adding the device as a Microsoft Media Center SE which has always worked. I'm now removing the device and I'll re-add it as something else to see if that cures the problem.

I have LE 7.01 running on an ION2 based Zotac Zbox that previously had OE since Alpha 1. I'm using a Harmony Hub with Kodi added as Microsoft Media Centre SE. Eveything works great except that the D-Pad stops responding for 10s after boot which I'm trying to debug this evening. I'd remove the MCE keyboard and re-add as a Media Centre SE and see how that goes.

There are detailed instructions here but I've found that adding the keyboard is not necessary, at least in my setup. This may also be of some value although it's pretty old.
