Has anyone tried running Kodi on a Raspberry Pi3 Cluster?

v18 - Master branch on Windows 7 -- error probing input format

$
0
0
I just built Kodi on Windows 7 (for the first time in about a year) and ffmpeg is not cooperating.  This is a fork, but it's almost identical to xbmc/master as it currently sits.  I used VS 2017 for the build.

https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/W736MQv9PK/

I tried to play the files with names starting with S34E21, S35E96 and S35E97.  These are MP4 files, which play fine on a Linux machine with a build from the same kodi source.  On this Windows build, I see the "wait" spinner for about ten seconds, then it goes back to the selection screen.

The first attempt is at around line 529.  At line 580 is this:

Music Videos Artist Image Won't Update

$
0
0
The issue I'm having is that I'm wanting to change all images for "artist" in the Music Video section to their artist logo that I have created instead of just a randomly downloaded group picture from the internet. For most artists, I have been able to choose artist thumb and browse my computer to change it to their logo, but some won't change, it will just blink and stay on the default downloaded image. I'm using local info only as my Music Video scraper but it still scrapes an artist image online if it finds one. Navigating through artists by logo is so much easier to recognize, cleaner and more conform as apposed to having to second look at who is in the picture in a band picture to know who it is. I've tried setting the artist thumb to no image first, and that doesn't work either. It just blinks and remains the same. Is this a cache issue? This has really been bugging me... Thanks.

Kodi very slow after moving MySQL to ubuntu

I just moved my MySQL kodi database to a Ubuntu 18.04 server. I have several windows and Android machines running Kodi in the house. Windows machines run great, but my Android's run incredibly slow. I takes several minutes to start up, and maybe a minute or two to change folder.

I checked my Kodi log, and found these strings in there

The thing is, it connects, reads my played status from my windows machines and works great aside from the slow speed. Once i start streaming local files, they run smooth as butter. Clearly there's something going on with my MySQL, but I'm not sure where to start trobleshooting. Any advice at all people?

I'm using Amazon Fire TV 4K, for most x265 videos, the playback is great. But got an issue for some videos. The picture in video playback seems macroblocking and messing up.

The normal picture should be:

When I disabled the hardware acceleration, the picture was good, but the playback was stuttering.

Intel nuc CIR bios issues : get involved

$

Hi all kodi community

Today, I'm creating this thread to get people having infrared issues with their intel nuc involved with intel community forum. I'm really fed up by the way they dismiss the issue, like if nothing could be done about it. For thoses who are not aware, here is the thread on intel forums

the latest anwser from intel on this was (at the time of writing) :
Quote:Due to LPC limitation caused by changes made to protect platform circuitry, SirqMod was changed to QUIET mode from CONTINUOUS mode.
I have been told that there is no fix for this issue at this point, I am really sorry that this change is affecting the previous functionality of the equipment.

As a matter of fact, I've received an intel nuc NUC7PJYH (the J5005) with already the lastest firmware 44 installed . In intel world, you can't even go back to a previous (v27) firmware because they don't allow the downgrade ! This situation make the infrared CIR device completly useless as it doesn't work at all.

I count on you to tell intel via their community forum how bad this is and that they must fix it. Well if you wish to do so.
I may start the "shit storm" on social media if needed with the help of others. We can't let them do whatever they want, breaking features wiithout complaining, especially after the HDR support fiasco.

well in the starting it scraped the artists thumbnails but when i installed a fresh new one Windows. After that Kodi din't scraped a single artist thumbnail even if i tried manually , it showed no art when tried manually.

PS if i download artist thumbnails and insert them folder and choose them then it appears but its impossible to do for all artists as i have a huge collection. Any Help ??


Even so if its possible that i download all thumbnail then in that case is it possible that Kodi has any option that it scraps Artists thumbnail through the Artist folders where the songs are placed??

Changing kodi home

Hi,

for special reason I need to change the directory of ~/.kodi.
I tried to check /usr/bin/kodi for some hint and found the USERDATA_DIR variable.
I sounds well defined so I changed it to my directory.
I did not change the CRSHLOG_DIR which is suitable in my environment.
kodi starts but in the log i found that SQLite still searches in the default directory for Addondb27.
I also found in the log entries like special://home/ is mapped to: /mnt/osmclasse/.kodi
which seem to be used instead of USERDATA_DIR (checked by https://kodi.wiki/view/Special_protocol)

How can I change the ~/.kodi to something like mydir/.kodi which works in /usr/bin/kodi as well as with special:// without recompiling the source?

v18 - Getting the actual URL of a streaming audio file from kodi - still possible or not ?

$
0
0
I was using both
'{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.GetItem", "params": { "properties": [ "file"], "playerid": '"$PlayerId"' }, "id": "AudioGetItem"}'
and
'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"XBMC.GetInfoLabels","params":{"labels": ["Player.File"] },"id":1}'

to get the actual URL when listening to streamed radio.  Unfortunately I can't now seem to get any actual URL's from Kodi if the original URL was in a .m3u file.  Kodi now returns either the full name and path to the .m3u file or just the filename, depending on which label I get, but I can't seem to find one that gives the actual resolved address.

Is it no longer possible to get that via an infolabel or jsonrpc, or am I looking in the wrong place now for that info ? 

Help appreciated Nod  Thanks !!

Kodi 17.6 on Amazon Fire Stick v2 Doesn't Auto Advance With uPnP Source

$
0
0
I have a Kodi 17.6 on a Windows 10 machine acting as my DLNA server. I have Kodi 17.6 on my Android Fire Stick v2 using the Windows 10 Kodi as a uPnP Video Source. (I had to allow anonymous connection on the Windows 10 machine for this to work, but it's working now.) My problem is that even though Auto Advance is selected in Kodi on the Fire Stick (Settings->Video->Playback - Play next video automatically), the next video does not play automatically.

Note that before I had the uPnP source working, I had defined the Windows share with the content as an SMB source (thus using the library feature), and the Auto Advance worked. So the problem appears to only happen when the source is uPnP (aka DLNA).

Is there something I can do, or does this need to be fixed in Kodi?

Android - kodi upgrade needed?

Hello, recently my xbmcmart box has had kodi acting up on it.  I don't receive movie links or software content like I used to in the past.  For some reason, it says no sources available for movie links and many other program links do not work.  Searching online, it says this has been a common problem for others and an update may be required for kodi.  How do you do that and has anyone else experienced the same problem?  Thank you.

Request - Network multi-user support w/ offline mode

$

If I could ask for just one new feature, I'd love for the great folks on the Kodi team to add in the ability to easily configure the interface for network database and network multi-user "Online" mode

I absolutely love that Kodi is a stand alone product. LOVE IT!
However, I have several machines at home that share a library using the typical advancedsettings.xml configuration, and that's great but I also would like to have networkable profiles that can be stored on a network share and referenced by each of the devices. Lastly, how cool would it be that if a mobile device can't find the server, it switches to an "offline" mode with local references and libraries?

Please, please, please (rubs genie lamp) can this be something that is included in a future release?!?

Thanks for an amazing product and for all of the time you all put in. At least for my part, it is very much appreciated.

How to auto-refresh all plot, images and all media info periodically?

$

Hi to all.

I've a good question to all guru and more expert kodi user. I searched a solution for that but I found nothing, maybe a "bad" search, maybe is not possible or maybe is useless!

So, actually I've one android tv player (mibox3) and movies/tv show on nas over the lan. All works but I'm wondering if exist a way to auto refresh "not update" all the info of a media file after some times!

Why? Because sometimes I notice that the plot are still in English, because when the movie or tv show was added only the english language was available but now there's a local language version, like the covers or others, so ... the best would be to have a way force a refresh o the multimedia files

Exist a way to make this happens?

Actually I store all info inside kodi on player, I don't know if maybe using a nfo local file can help to achieve this strange request.

Any idea? J

Kodi/Localcast : Error when casting live Tv streams

Hi all,

I can't find an answer to that question :

- I'm using Kodi (with IPTV account) on my android phone and localcast to directly cast into my TV (only on my TV)
- Everything works fine except live TV streams : i'm having an error "The chromecast device does not support the video or can't access to it. Localcast can't fix Possible reasons : Video unssuported or deleted."

Of course it works if i cast all my phone 's screen but it's not my intentation, i want to cast only the stream on my TV.

1. What's the reason it doesn't work ? Is that a problem of transcoding ?
2. Is there any other possibilities with some apps?

Many Thanks,
