RE: LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 17.0) - Little_Kitty - 2016-05-08

The time here showed wrong and could not find a easy way to changed it so i added it in the autostart.sh

Code:
#!/bin/sh
(sleep 30; \
/usr/sbin/ntpdate pool.ntp.org; \
)&


also wasnt there a Libreelec setting menu under Settings -> libreelec ? i cant find it anymore.

Date/time should be set automatically. Hacks like that really shouldn't be necessary unless there's something wrong with networking.

Time servers can be set in the LE Settings addon, either globally in Network > NTP Servers, or per-connection if you're not using DHCP (Connections > Edit > NTP Servers).

However unless you're facing a specific problem this usually isn't necessary. LE will use fallback timeservers on the internet if there are no local timeservers configured (or available) and LE will also use any timeservers configured by your DHCP server (if you're using DHCP).

The fallback servers are:
Code:
0.pool.ntp.org,1.pool.ntp.org,2.pool.ntp.org,3.pool.ntp.org

It's possible your DHCP server is giving out a local timeserver that then overrides the fallback servers, and the time on this local timeserver is not accurate in which case correct the time on this local timeserver, or reconfigure your DHCP server to stop using the broken local timeserver.

If all else fails then configure global upstream timeservers in the LE Settings add-on (Network > NTP Servers).

i changed back to the default skin and i could find the network setting and setup up the servers there.
and switched back to minic. I guess the skinn doesnt have that option. i also cant find the menu there.

i had to add a few things to the menu my self like favorites and shutdown. But cant find the liberelec in the skin. Oh well doesnt matter much tho.


RE: LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 17.0) - Milhouse - 2016-05-08

You'll only find the "LibreELEC" button in the stock Estuary skin. If you need to access the LE Settings addon using a third-party skin (including Confluence) then you'll need to access it via the Programs or Addons page.

RE: LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 17.0) - tetzlav - 2016-05-08

I use the Kodi 17 testbuilds at RPI2 with tvheadend pvr addon (atm Version: devel-20160506210417-#0506-gb63e0c1).

Since view weeks i'm wondering about freezes after 60-120min watching Video (prior LiveTV).
Know i recognize, that the memory consumption of process kodi.bin is growing continuously.

Is this a memory leak of kodi itself or maybe of tvheadend addon too?
Or has this something to do with enabled hardware acceleration?

Best regards
//tetzlav


RE: LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 17.0) - Milhouse - 2016-05-09

Not sure what you mean "prior LiveTV"? When you talk about "the tvheadend pvr addon" I assume you mean pvr.hts? Are you also using the latest tvheadend42 add-on from the add-ons folder?

Do you see the same memory consumption when no add-ons are installed? How are you determining the memory usage of the kodi.bin process?

sorry i mean preferential, so i use libreelec for watching TV...
Quote:When you talk about "the tvheadend pvr addon" I assume you mean pvr.hts?
yes, the Tvheadend HTSP Client on RPi2
Quote:Are you also using the latest tvheadend42 add-on from the add-ons folder?
no, the tvheandend 4.1 server with dvb cards is a debian-based homeserver.
Quote:Do you see the same memory consumption when no add-ons are installed?
Its only while watching video, buti will test it tomorrow with videos from local sdcard.

top, free, ...?

my workaround is a 1G swapfile... Wink

Well, no good deed goes unpunished.

TuneIn now plays but both Pandoki and TuneIn have new navigation issue. Selection of Pandoki's top menu after it has started playing results in the top menu blinking in and out in about a 1 second cycle.

When selected from the boxes at the left side of the screen, TuneIn's top menu screen is blank. ESC causes the screen to briefly appear before exiting. CPU usage is very High.

Here's a log file.

@bill_orange: what skin are you using, is this with stock Estuary? I see a number of skin-related errors, "misplaced [", missing windows etc. If you are using Estuary please report these errors in the Estuary bug thread. Other Pandoki/TuneIn errors might be related to these skin errors, but I think it's best if you contact the add-on maintainers as they can probably reproduce these errors in the latest Kodi 17 nightly.

Yes, I am using Estuary. Can you give me the link to the Estuary bug thread again? I cannot find it.

RE: LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 17.0) - dlxmax - 2016-05-09

Just upgraded to 0508 from 0507 and there appears to be a huge bug. Using either Confluence or Estuary, launching addons results in a blank screen showing only the KODI background image. Some addons flash their menu for a split second and then it goes back to the background image. Will post logs if needed, but I imagine you can reproduce this easily. FWIW, the Libreelec settings addon works (Quasar, KODI Log viewer among the broken).
