@Milhouse, Can you build transmission for RPI2/RPI3. I can´t find it in http://milhouse.libreelec.tv/builds
I see inside: http://milhouse.openelec.tv/builds/addons/RPi2/

Thanks!

Transmission is no longer supported as a Kodi addon in LibreELEC. You can install it as a Docker addon - browse the LibreELEC forum for more details.

Thanks milhouse!!
I can't see docker files: https://github.com/LibreELEC/containers

Regards,

[Milhouse]

Any issues with Transmission or Docker, please post on the LibreELEC forum.

It is working fine. Once I found the proper conf file for the settings of my MtxOrb driver.

If I may offer advice... Maybe indicating somewhere in the plugin's interface that choosing the driver may not be enough, and that editing the config file for that particular driver will probably be needed. Indicating the location of the conf file would be a plus.

Other than that, I would give this a go.

Thanks for waiting for this plugin before removing LCDd from the main build!

Thanks for the feedback, can you expand on the issue with the conf file? How is the add-on behaving differently to the original built-in version? The conf file will now be in /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.lcdd/LCDd.conf, is this different to before? Or are you simply suggesting (which sounds like a good idea) that we inform the user where to find the conf file?

Or are you simply suggesting (which sounds like a good idea) that we inform the user where to find the conf file?

Some LCDs drivers need further configuration, like what device to use (I have to change from /dev/ttyS0 to /dev/tyyUSB0, for example) and display size (20x4 or 20x2, for example).

This is the same behaviour as before. Informing about that within the UI would be an improvement and may lighten the burden in forums later!

The config file used to be in /storage/.config/LCDd.conf, and now it is indeed where you have mentioned (userdata/addon_data), which is a perfectly good/logical place.

The startlcdd.sh script could maybe provide an easy migration script, if no config file exists in userdata/addon_data and if /storage/.config/LCDd.conf exists, then copy it to userdata/addon_data, otherwise copy the base config from the plugin to userdata/addon_data. Maybe idiotic if /storage/.config/LCDs.conf was always there in the first place in old installs, or if there were too many changes in LCDd versions...

Informing that there may be subsequent changed to the config file sounds like a good idea. Indicating the location of the file is even better (especially since the filesystem will have at least 2 versions, one from the base plugin, copied to userdata at first use, then the one in userdata, and maybe an old one in /storage/.config).

Making it all a plugin UI will be tough, as you would probably have to make one for each LCD driver, they tend to be all slightly different. Also, you cannot pass many parameters in daemon start, so the config file would have to be parsed and modified. A whole different effort. The current way (start the daemon with driver and conf file) is dead easy.

[Milhouse]

@camelreef - many thanks, have passed your comments along. Perhaps changing the addon to use the original /storage/.config conf location would be another option.

Wouldn't that be supporting legacy and breaking an established and logical way of locating addon files? It could probably create a support headache for the long run.

I would suggest frontloading the trouble and supporting (README, CHANGES, forums, maybe an additional info line in the plugin UI,etc.) the LCDd users during a shorter period of migration. Even there, LCDd users are probably mostly not clueless, as they had to tinker the conf file once before and should be able to navigate the stuff quickly enough, as I did.

My 2c...

[Milhouse]

My view would be that /storage/.config is where we typically store user editable config files, while .kodi/userdata/addon_data is where an addon stores it's own data and files that it maintains.

In this case, the LCDd.conf file, although generated by the add-on, can't be modified by the add-on and any changes have to be made by the user. So it's a bit of a blurred line for this particular config file, and using /storage/.config would conform to our "standard" while ensure backward compatibility.

However I take your point, and will leave it up to the add-on developers to decide.

All the same, many thanks for your work in general, and interest in that topic in particular! I'll return to be a happy and silent user until I find something that irks me or breaks!

http://stream.sunshine-live.de/handsup/mp3-192/stream.sunshine-live.de/

This is not working

All radio and TV channels are in the same menu but I would like to have the radio channels in the radio menu


Sorry for my english, i hope u can understand me.[/quote]

Picture (local files) stops randomly for a few seconds with #1015, audio keeps playing (Passthrough). Not sure when it started. It's pretty hard to find out since I would have to watch a movie with every build. I'll try to investigate.

I have the same problem while playing Files from a local drive. The picture freezes for aboout 5 Seconds - audio is playing. Build used 1015 but it happened with 1014 and 1013 too. 1004 was fine.

Here is the log - seems there is an issue with the Renderer

The video file plays perfectly on any other player like the wdtv live.

Can you identify the first build with the problem?
Can you provide a sample file that shows the issue?

On my Pi3 OMX plays without error, video only freezes several seconds with MMAL, while audio plays on without stoping.
This behaviour started about a month ago with some builds, then it stoped to return with 1013.

Yes, it's a MMAL problem. Was fixed and then started again. Lets see if we can find out when it started.

There's an IPTV Simple Client support forum here - you should ask in there.
