Is there an easy way to deliver an add-on to users!

September 6, 2017, 6:03 pm

Hello!
So, after several days of rolled up sleeves, digging, and expanding my mind's context, and several early mornings of falling asleep wondering if I would actually pull it off because the previous day was filled with no success, with the help of many of you all I am happy to say I have an add-on for my stream. I am dissatisfied with the interface, but I can update that as I go.
I need to distribute this add-on in as easy a manner as possible. What I mean is, I need it to be delivered easily (a download, maybe... or sent via email... I'm not sure...), and I need it to be easily installed by a user that may not really understand how to do the installation (and that's coming from someone who doesn't know much about the platform himself). Also, I need that installation to take place without upsetting what may already be installed on their devices.
I have been reading and researching a lot of information about this media center. The coming-up-to-speed learning curve has been a crucible to my mind and I am still nowhere near where I would like to be concerning programming this media center. So...
That said, please offer me suggestions that are simple on my end and simple on the user's end. Something I can understand (read... I need what I like to call Bunny-rabbit English) so that I can, in turn, explain how to do it in a logical, sequential order using Bunny-rabbit English.

Thanks!

Remapping keys / Harmony, PS3 adaptor

Hi,
I'm new to all this (Pi, Kodi, Libreelec, Linux in general ), so excuse my ignorance please,

I'm trying to 'bind' some 'hotkeys' to adjust the Zoom + & Zoom - ( when playing TV / Video's )
I'm trying to use my Harmony one remote (IR) with my Logitech Harmony Adapter for PlayStation 3 device (blue tooth) to my Pi, but having issues,
so I did some testing using this code for a keyboard which works

Userdata\keymaps\keyboard.xml
Code:
<keymap>
  <FullscreenVideo>
    <keyboard>
      <plus>ZoomIn</plus>
      <minus>ZoomOut</minus>
    </keyboard>
  </FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>

But if I do this for the "remote" it does not work,
Code:
<lircmap>
  <remote device="devinput">
     <myZoomIn>KEY_FRAMEFORWARD</myZoomIn>
     <myZoomOut>KEY_FRAMEBACK</myZoomOut>
   </remote>
</lircmap>
<keymap>
  <FullscreenVideo>
    <remote>
      <myZoomIn>ZoomIn</myZoomIn>
      <myZoomOut>ZoomOut</myZoomOut>
    </remote>
  </FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>


this is the data for the keys I’m using ,


##############################################
# LibreELEC #
# https://libreelec.tv #
##############################################

LibreELEC (official): 8.1.1 (RPi2.arm)
MyPi:~ # irw

1b5 0 KEY_FRAMEFORWARD devinput
1b4 0 KEY_FRAMEBACK devinput



this is what the adapter looks like,

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Logitech-Harm...SwnVVZo340

ps everything else works with the Harmony remote, except what I’m trying to ‘bind’

any ideas where i'm going wrong ?

Thanks for any help,

Is it possible to access/browse mobile phone over USB connected to Pi?

Hey all,

I've been upgrading my i9300 galaxy s3 a bit lately, messing with ADB android debug bridge to do backups, things like that.

Now I've come to a point where (for some reason) I have *links* or like, leftover traces on my external SD card to all the mp3s I once had on it.(headache!) and all my mp3 collection is stored on my OSMC (kodi) install (a usb hdd connected to my Pi2modelb)

I want to copy some of those mp3s back onto my phone.

Connecting usb cable from phone to rPi usb port.

I don't believe Kodi can recognise the mobile phone natively, is this still the case?

I might ask over at the OSMC forum also, but this is obviously the right place to start, (as the developers here of Kodi are more likely to know) if this is possible.

If it's still not supported (I tried about a year ago), are there any add-ons out there which can help - (i think that's unlikely because this is more likely something which if Kodi doesn't support it at a system level, it ain't gonna happen).
#Kind regards,

Kodi 17.4 - Adding series from the hard disk to the library does not work

Hello Kodi Team,

adding series from the hard disk to the library does not work with Kodi 17.4.
Series that were not found can no longer be added to the library in Kodi 17.4.
In Kodi 17.3 it works very well.

Select a series -> open context menu -> add to the library -> nothing happens.
The button has no function in Kodi 17.4.

With Krypton nightlies (Kodi 17.5 RC1) it does not work either.

With kind regards from germany

Get Current Plugin URL?

September 7, 2017, 9:12 am

Hi all. I'm very new to Kodi plugins and development. I am writing a script to go along with a RetroPie installation that will allow the use of Kodi's numerous rom launchers with retropie's runcommand.sh method of launching emulators. Its a long story, but suffice to say that Kodi must be exited before an emulator launches because Kodi hogs the framebuffer, so the emulator never displays.

Anyway. I have my script working, I'm just trying to tweak it and for that I need a kodi plugin expert's advice.

So the way the script works now is you go to for example AEL (Advanced Emulator Launcher), you point it to my script. My script executes, closes kodi, opens emulator. When emulator closes, script reopens Kodi again. Trouble is that Kodi always opens at its home screen, not at the last place you were at when Kodi quit (AEL). If you're in the middle of a retrogaming marathon, it could be annoying to have to navigate manually back to the launcher to pick a different title.

The way I understand things is that kodi addons display the information on screen that they do based on url calls. Something to the tune of (plugin://plugin.program.launcher/someurl). I'm trying to figure out how to (programatically) get what the current or most recent displayed url is. This way, when my script closes Kodi, it can pass the url to a file, which will then be read at Kodi launch and bring the interface back to the same url it was at when Kodi closed.

I've been hunting for the solution to this via google and other posts for about a week, but no one has an answer, or even knows if this is possible. At this point I'd be happy with the URL in a line in the kodi.log that I could read from my script.

Does anyone have any guidance they could share with me?

[Solved] Severe/odd stutter during playback

September 7, 2017, 9:12 am

Posting for Googlers out there as my fu returned nothing useful, but I've figured it out and the answer might surprise some of you.
I have a Zero with Kodi 17.0, running on Arch.
I was always playing locally off of an external disk.

Issue: Some videos played just fine and others did not, specifically those I had used Stax Rip to transcode using Intel QSV LA HRD (Highly suggest this for quality per size arguments). It did not matter what resolution the videos were in or the bit rate, in fact the full bluray rips played better than my little 1GB mobile versions.

Thought it had something to do with H.264 profile selection as the ones that worked were L3.1 instead of High4 but in fact that didn't matter at all.

Resolution: Reference frame counts were too low, it appears the RPi Zero wants at least 3 reference frames but seems to be most at home with 4 (that is what the bluray discs come with standard). I re-encoded and bam it works just fine now. So you're aware, this setting is under the encoder options in Stax (for the Intel H264 encoder) in the "Slice Decision" tab (Encoder options >> Slice Decision).

Its a strange issue and maybe its a setting issue on my end but I'm out of time, its vacation time Smile. Hopefully this is helpful to someone.

Can't export as multiple files

Hi guys,

I'm seeking a bit of help as I can't get Kodi to export my video libray as seperate files.

I keep getting this kind of error :

21:15:17.053 T:548505886720 ERROR: Export failed exporting 'special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/0/02dfb697.jpg' to 'sftp://user@server:222//home/media/videos/Films/A/À la poursuite de demain (2015)/.actors/Paul_Anthony.jpg'

At first, I thought it was some usual permission related errors, so I tried to chown / chmod (even to 777) with no luck.

As a result, I get no exported images or nfo files.

Thanks for any clue.

Running Kodi LibreELEC 8.0.2 (Kodi 17.3), and I use the ssh/sftp share to host my media files.

Amazon Fire stick support/help?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this whole Kodi thing and am blown away, feel like I've been living under a rock all these years!!

Installed Kodi on my MacBook and have the remote app on my iPhone. Works great. When I click "Find Kodi" in the add host section it finds it straight away and bobs your uncle, it works!!

Problem is when I went to my dads house to show him the app. It wouldn't find Kodi. He's running Kodi v17 on his fire stick. I tried adding all the IP address, MAC address and all into the app and save it but it still wouldn't find it. Thought it may be my phone so downloaded the app on his iPhone too. It had the same problem.

Had my MacBook with me so opened up Kodi and the app and added a new host. Clicked "Find Kodi" and it picked my Kodi on my Mac up straight away.

It just won't find the Kodi that's on my dads fire stick.


Any help please?? This app is great and make using Kodi a completely new and better experience.

SMB and NFS doesn't work

I can no longer access my Kodi shares (on main windows box) from other windows boxes. Nothing comes up. I can access the shares from virtually every other device and software but kodi.

\\KODI\VIDEOS

for example.

I have been using smb:

smb://kodi/videos

and that no longer works.

I tried to go to the Add Network Location and typed

\\kodi\videos as the server name

And, of course, that doesn't work either. I've chosen NFS and SMB as the protocol.

Does kodi no longer support URLs? I don't want to use mapped drives because it's rather difficult to map a drive letter in Android and Raspberry Pi (other devices that ALSO see the NFS shares perfectly fine).

This seems to have been a problem for quite some time. Nobody found a fix?
