No sound on some movies (Atmos) LibreElec, x86

Hi. I am a happy Kodi user, but migrated lately from Rpi LibreElec to x86 version since I upgraded my speaker setup to 5.1.2 (atmos). I run it from Up Core mini PC

„...Powered by Intel® Atom™ x5-Z8350 QuadCore 1.44/1.92Ghz 64 bit CPU, UP Core comes with with 2/4GB RAM, 32GB/64GB eMMC 5.0, 2 x USB 2.0, USB 3.0, HDMI, DSI/eDP, 2 x MIPI-CSI supporting 2M Pixel camera and 8M Pixel camera, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2 with Ampak AP6214 on board...”

I have it connected thru HDMI to my Onkyo TX NR656, and to projector. I have enabled passthru sound for each option in Kodi but when I try to play some Dolby Atmos movies I get no sound on my amp. HDMI logo is flashing on amp display and when inspecting the stream in amp menu I get only video, no audio info. I tried it on dolby atmos demo disc I downloaded, and some atmos demos from dolby website. No sound at all. But some other atmos demos seem to play OK with ceiling speakers working. But I get no Atmos logo on amp display (I do not even know if I should get one)

Can someone help me?

My issue is I don't have a TV icon to 'click' to access my PVR IPTV simple client. I have Live TV and TV shows which lets me access those respective add-ons, but no tv icon for simple client. I have simple client enabled, it shows I have channels, but no way to see them.
I'm running krypton 17.6 but I have Kodi No Limits with Aeon Nox Silvo skin, so I have not been able to find any YouTube video that shows my configuration. Otherwise no issues. This is being run on an android box.
Any help would and is greatly appreciated. Please note that I'm a total noob. Many thx.

Extrafanart files number sequencing

The Kodi wiki says that extra fanart contained in the extrafanart folder should be named fanart0.jpg, fanart1.jpg, fanart2.jpg. And that is how I have been doing it when I manually add my own extra fan art.

But MediaElch (which I just started using) names the files starting with fanart1.jpg, fanart2.jpg, fanart3.jpg.

Does it matter whether you start with 0 or 1?

Also, is there a list of skins that support extrafanart for music?

Thanks!

Not sure if it's my meddling as my htpc broke and had to be played with, but I think it's the KODI release, my 'green button' has defaulted back to Windows Media Centre and not KODI. I think it might be looking for XBMC??

Is it me or do I need an updated download?

hey guys,
I cannot find any visualisations except spectrum that work on Kodi 18. Any ideas?
Even if it is still beta (or yet?) it would be great to get some visualisations to work.
I test it on a generic x86_64 Libreelec with the latest Milhouse build.

Please help me understand why my addon keeps refreshing the same page on going back?

September 29, 2018, 4:26 am

Hi,

So I have my script running fine and all, but one problem that is annoying the heck out of me and honestly can't figure it out. When I activate the window for my addon, then each time I prev back, it will just refresh the page unless I press back quick enough 2 times. I can see in the args that pressing back has the exact same list as the initial list of arguments meaning that it's always going to filter through the same method. Here is my code:



import os

import sys

import urlparse

import urllib 

import xbmcgui

import xbmcplugin

import xbmcaddon

import xbmc

import json



ADDON        = xbmcaddon.Addon()

CWD          = ADDON.getAddonInfo('path').decode('utf-8')



# Add our resources/lib to the python path

try:

    current_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

except:

    current_dir = os.getcwd()

    

sys.path.append(os.path.join(current_dir, "resources", "lib"))



import libraryitems, log, jsonquery



base_url = sys.argv[0]

addon_handle = int(sys.argv[1])

args = urlparse.parse_qs(sys.argv[2][1:])



if args.get('title', None):

    title = args.get('title')[0]

else:

    title = "Filter"



handler = os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])



xbmc.executebuiltin("Dialog.Close(busydialog)")



if __name__ == "__main__":

    

    if handler is None:

        xbmc.executebuiltin('ActivateWindow(Home)')

        

    elif handler == 'movies':

        filters = urllib.unquote( args.get('filter', None)[0] ).decode('utf8')

        

        

        filters = json.loads(filters)        

        movies = jsonquery.getMovies(filters)

        

        xbmcplugin.setContent(addon_handle, 'movies')

        

        listitems =

        for index, movie in enumerate(movies):

            listitem = libraryitems.movieItem(movie)

            xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItems(addon_handle, [(movie['file'], listitem, False,)])

                    

        xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.SetViewMode(53)')

        xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(addon_handle, succeeded=True, updateListing=False, cacheToDisc=False)           

        

I also call this addon from JSONRPC via the activate window command

an example of the args being passed in are:



[

    "plugin://script.module.customlibrarywindow/movies",

    "65",

    "?handler=movies&filter=%257B%2522or%2522%253A%255B%257B%2522field%2522%253A%2522rating%2522%252C%2522value%2522%253A%25228%2522%252C%2522operator%2522%253A%2522greaterthan%2522%257D%255D%257D&title=Movies+greaterthan+8"

]

Can someone please help me rectify this?

Linux - DVD Menus are blank, but audio plays?

September 29, 2018, 7:15 am
$

I'm using Openelec (I'm uncertain which version of Kodi this uses, but it's not the current build) and for a while now I've had a persistent problem.

When I play a DVD\ISO ripped from a DVD that I legally own, the very first DVD menu (The one with the play movie button on it) is totally blank. If there is background music on the menu it plays as normal. But nothing is displayed on screen. After the music has looped around once the menu will play. Which is really frustrating when you have a movie with a 2-3 minute looping sound track on the first menu. Moving from the DVD menu to other menus is OK, and moving back to the main menu is OK. But if I play the feature and try to get back to the main menu then it's blank again.

If there are FBI anti piracy messages or ads before the main menu, then these play as normal, but go to the black screen with music.

When the screen is black I can't fast forward or skip to other tracks, and if I use the DVD menu button on the Kodi menu it just takes me back to the beginning of the black screen.

If I'm playing videos that don't have menus then everything plays as normal.

I'm either using regular DVDs or DVDs that I legally own ripped using DVD Shrink.

This problem doesn't effect every movie that I have, some are new and some are old, and it's effecting movies that used to be OK, so it seems to be a playback problem not a ripping problem.

This problem started after I brought a new media center PC, and did a fresh install of Openelec. So I don't know what settings are different from before as I started from scratch with a vanilla install.

I know that Openelec is outdated, but I have a custom ambient lighting system that I'm really attached to, and it was an absolute pain to set up, and I don't want to have to start again on another platform which it might not run with at all, so I'd like to fix this rather than try another OS\build.

Hi,

unfortunately MeCool KIII S912 even with the latest Kodi Beta does not change refresh rate of this Android box. Even the movies are not smooth when appropriate refresh rate is selected manually. Of course the Windows' version works great.

I have my refresh rate set 1080p/50Hz by default because of watching TV.

I can help you with testing, if you'd like.

Thx for an eventual help

Linux - USB tuner sticks not seen in TVheadend

Good evening everyone,

I installed Kody 17.6 on a new Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine. This VM is running on a HP Gen10 microserver. I have two USB tuner sticks plugged into the Microserver but TVheadend does not see them. One of them is meant for DVB-C, the other one for DVB-T (French and Belgian DVB-T so no DVB-T2)

The command "rtl_test" gives this result :

wile-e@tnt-cable-vm:~$ rtl_test

When I go in 192.168.0.3:9981, I see no adapter under Configuration > DVB Inputs > TV Adapters as described in this tutorial at step 2.

Can anyone advise on what to do next? Is it a driver problem? A missing add-on?

Thanks,

Win - MJPEG (Motion JPEG) videos play with black screen, audio ok

September 29, 2018, 10:54 am

Hello

I am having trouble playing home videos from an old canon camera taken about 4 years ago.  These videos used to be able to play in older versions of XBMC/Kodi and i am not sure when it stopped working.  I have changed the system a couple of times and noticed the problem but did not realize how widespread it was as i usually shuffle play the home videos and figured maybe some did not work.  It turns out none of them play.  The same files do play correctly with VLC on the same system.

The thumbnails for the files display correctly, and the audio is ok, but the video is just a black screen.  I have searched but all i can find is info on streaming and old outdated posts for issues related to Motion JPEG files.  I have not tested every file format, but these MJPEG files seem to be the only ones I have an issue with; all other video files I have play ok.

The codec information for the file is here, as detected by VLC:  https://i.imgur.com/MfRnGPX.jpg

The debug log file is here:  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3p7wdw8g7G/

This is the file i tried to play and is in the debug log:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/11gBJSkA...sp=sharing

This is a detailed system report for the laptop that runs Kodi:  https://i.imgur.com/R4lHjTg.png

I hope someone can help or at least validate there is a problem and its not just my system.

Please let me know what you think.

thanks

Discrepancy b/w NextPVR Guide and Kodi Guide

September 29, 2018, 3:22 pm

Hello @sub3

Hoping you can help me solve an issue that has recently become apparent with the TV Guide in NextPVR and that displayed in Kodi.

I am using Kodi v17.6, NextPVR v4.2.1 and NextPVR Add-on v2.4.13 on Win 10

I have one channel that has been problematic for a while. It is the Australian SBS Viceland channel. There is the SD version and the HD version of the same channel.

The VicelandHD channel is numbered differently to the remaining SBS channels and it ends up separated at the bottom of the guide and not next to the other SBS Channels. Attempting to renumber it only causes a loss of guide information, so I have left it as channel 206.

For the last couple of weeks, it seems that this channel now thinks it is a Radio channel. If I look at the guide in NextPVR, it displays the correct guide information but when I view the guide in Kodi, it is guide information for a radio channel. (not sure which one.)

It is only a problem now as I have lost two scheduled recording from this channel. Strange as I thought the backend would control that.

An export of my channel information is here... https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2fF3TS7TyJ/

Two images to display the problem with channel 206. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Best size channel logogs (PVR/Kore)

September 29, 2018, 4:03 pm

I'm searching for the best size of my channel logos.
I'm using Tvheadend as PVR server (and of course Kodi [v17.6] with Estuary as frontend at FullHD).
I have all my logos as SVG locally and convert them to PNG (with size, gaussian blur, ...). The PNG's are set as "User icon" on channel level (with Image Cache activated).

So far, so good. I have the channel logos in Kodi (PVR, EPG). They look more or less okay, but not perfect.
I've tried several image resoultions and aspect ratios, but I  not happy at all.

According Live TV Artwork - Saving Logos I currently use all logos with size 800 × 450. The logos at this size are quite nice.
However, in the Kodi skin the icons are displayed in different sizes. In the channel view we have the icons in a small size in the list (left) and a bigger size of the selected channel on the right (see Artwork-TVLogo02.jpg). Also in EPG Guide we have the channel logos.
All displayed logos are anyway smaller then 800 x 450 at HD resolution (1920×1080). So Kodi has to resize the images. All images have to be scaled-down. The scaled-down images are not as nice as they could be. Especially the small icons in the channel list are not very nice. The are okay but not as nice as I would scale the images to this size.

Is 800 x 450 (or 450 x 450) really the best and correct resolution for channel logos? Maybe this is good for 4K but not for FullHD?

As we know, some logos are more or less squarish, others are more like a rectangular banner.
Should all icons have the same size or should the aspect ratio depend on the format of the logo?

An then we have Kore (the Android-App for controlling Kodi). There the icons are squared and the icons will be croped and not display in full size. This I don't like at all.

The best way might be to have logos in differenz sizes for different purposes but this is no supported in Tvheadend and, as far as i know, also not in Kodi.


So, what is the best ratio and size for the logos?
