Hi,
thanks for sharing your ideas! We will think about adding the screen turn on/turn off feature to the screensaver options and check if this works.
Regarding HDMI and touchscreen at the same time or changing on the fly with a switch:
I am sorry, but this is currently not possible with Kodi. Some Apps (like omxplayer) support to choose from connected HDMI and DSI displays, but Kodi doesn’t support it. The only option is to change the default display and reboot. To do this you have to add following to the file /boot/config.txt and reboot.
display_default_lcd=0
This is only helpful, if you want to use it without the touchscreen, as you need to revert the changes and reboot to get the touchscreen running again. We will think about adding this parameter to the Display configuration in the web interface as it helps to improve the „activation“ process of HDMI.EDIT: I just added this switch to the Max2Play Web interface to the current BETA. You may find it in the „RPi Display“ Addon.
Hallo lucky,
damit du die Hardware-Lautstärkenregelung für den HifiBerry AMP nutzen kannst, muss in den Kommandozeilenoptionen im Squeezelite (im Tab Audioplayer -> Erweiterte Optionen) folgendes stehen:
-o hw:0 -V Master
Damit sollte der Squeezelite Player in Lage sein, die Lautstärke entsprechend zu steuern.Sauber ausschalten kannst du das System nur über die Einstellungsseite im Webinterface von Max2Play („Herunterfahren“). Allerdings kann das System auch durchgängig laufen, da es im Standby nur sehr wenig Strom verbraucht.
Hi,
you need to disable the password check for the webserver in the folder /var/www/max2play/public/ as user root (via SSH). Password is „max2play“.
/bin/sed -i "/##AUTHENTICATION START/,/##AUTHENTICATION END/ { /##AUTHENTICATION END/"\'!\'" d;}" /var/www/max2play/public/.htaccess rm /var/www/max2play/.htpasswd rm /var/www/max2play/public/.htaccess_addOtherwise you may also burn a new SD-Card image.
Hi titobustillo,
thanks for reporting back! I also tested the fix now and did not encounter any problems with playback. Maybe there is an other problem with your hardware / software? Did you play any special videos? I tested different YouTube and 1080p videos. The CEC-fix should not change anything else that breaks kodi functionality.
Hi titobustillo,
seems like something in the CEC libraries changed for Kodi version 15. You may try to log in into the console (via SSH, user „pi“ password „raspberry“) and run following
sudo /opt/kodi-15/install_cec3This may fix the problem. If it works for you, we will add this fix to the installer.
Hi Raymond,
if you update packages or do other things on the commandline, this might cause issues as you already noticed.
You should start again with a fresh image (Audioplayer is set to the DAC). I found a bug on the ODROID C1 that it sometimes uses DISPLAY 0 for the LCD-Shield and sometimes DISPLAY 1. This changes on reboot what makes it kind of difficult to reproduce (really strange behavior). This is why Jivelite sometimes is not showing up after starting it… If you manually log in as user odroid you may start Jivelite with
export DISPLAY=:1 /opt/jivelite/jivelite/bin/jiveliteThere might be other Bugs with the C1+ itsself (related to the hardware) and with the Max2Play-Image.
I would recommend, that you use the Squeezebox Server Webinterface to connect to your Music Library as Jivelite is just a
a tool to control the Squeezelite player and show its status.UPDATE: I added a switch to the latest Beta (click update to latest Beta in settings of Web interface) to get the right display to show Jivelite. As the display randomly switches between 0 and 1, this solves the problem, not showing Jivelite after starting it on the web interface.
Hi Dan,
thanks for this very detailed post! I will have a look at it this weekend and try my best to see if I can get it working.
Although I did not test it, you may try to add „-D“ to the commandline options of Squeezelite (Webinterface -> Audioplayer -> Advanced settings)
From Squeezelite documentation:-D [delay] Output device supports DSD over PCM (DoP), delay = optional delay switching between PCM and DoP in ms
I compiled Squeezelite for Max2Play with DSD option:
DSD – support of DSD playback via DOP (-D command line option) or conversion to pcm (requires LMS server patches)
Hi Silver,
you may test nginx by installing it with
apt-get install php5-fpm nginx -yusing this config file for Max2Play:
server { listen 81; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied #listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6 root /var/www/max2play/public; index index.php; location / { error_page 404 = /index.php?q=$uri; log_not_found off; } location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|xml)$ { access_log off; expires 30d; root /var/www/max2play/public; } # Rewrite rule if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?page=$1 last; } # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000 location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/max2play/public$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root # concurs with nginx's one location ~ /\.ht { deny all; } }Open the web interface with http://max2play:81 – the original apache web server is still running on Port 80. We did not test this yet – there may be some problems on nginx…
Hi MvD42,
the Raspberry did not have the support for the PVR-Addons from our Max2Play-builds yet … until NOW 😉
You may update to the latest Beta of Max2Play on the Settings page in the Web interface and then you have to:
– install Kodi again even if you already have version 15 (just start the installation on the Kodi-tab of Web interface)
– install the PVR-Plugins Repository from the Addon installer on the Kodi-tab in Max2Play Web interface, which now also work for the Raspberry
– activate the desired PVR-Plugin in Kodi: System -> Addons -> Install from Repository (Choose Max2Play Repository)
– enable Live TV in SettingsThis feature will be available in the next Release version 2.23 and is now in Beta testing.
Hi,
I just created the PVR Addons for the ODROID XU4 and Kodi Isengard version 15. You may find the repository here:
http://cdn.max2play.com/kodi-15-pvr/xu4/Now also available for download: Kodi 15 Isengard for ODROID XU4: http://cdn.max2play.com/xu4_xbmc_15.1.91-1_armhf.deb. I will add this to the download section soon.
Important: before the PVR-Addons do their job you need to do (this will not be neccesary anymore in the next release of Max2Play as I will add this to the installer of Kodi):
apt-get install fonts-roboto javascript-common libhdhomerun1 libjs-iscroll libjs-jquery libshairport2 -yJust tested Big Buck Bunny with the PVR-Demo Plugin in FullHD and it works fine 🙂
Cheers,
Stefan
