Multiple artist tags not indexed? - by: MarkusA

November 6, 2016, 11:04 pm
$

0
Hardware: RPi2
Kodi v14.2
I tag my music with Mp3tag using \\ as separator for multiple artists for a track which in effect creates a separate field for each artist.
Now for my problem...
Kodi doesn't seem to index the artists?
I can still play the files and when I play the files the artists are displayed correctly with a "/" between each of the artists. So, kodi can obviously read the tag, it just won't index the artists?
What to do?

New openelec owner - having issues - by: fatfingers73

Hello all,

First post :)

I've just been given a box running kodi 14.2 (no make on the box).

I did a factory reset as I wanted to start from scratch. Unfortunately now I can't connect to the internet.

I go through the openelec wizard and it connects to my router fine, but when I get to the end of the wizard it tells me I need to connect to the internet and takes me to network settings. I've tried wireless and wired with the same problem.

I thought I'd found the problem as LAN was disabled in bios, but still no joy.

The box has a tiny USB dongle in the back (not sure what this is, bluetooth maybe?), and two screw in aerials.

Any advice please?

No network after updating from 5.0.8 to 6.0.3 - by: Nitrogen

As title suggests none of my laptop’s network interfaces work with openelec since i updated from version 5.0.8 to 6.0.3. I run openelec from a USB thumbdrive in live mode. Originally i thought it was only wi-fi that didn’t run, since ifconfig / ip didn’t show my wifi adapter, but later i found out that wired connection didn’t work either. No hardware LED indication on LAN port even. That same laptop runs both interfaces just fine once booted into Win7 installed on it’s HDD. Both also worked fine under openelec 5.0.8.

Here’s lspci | egrep -i 'network|ethernet' output


My laptop is a rather old one (purchased almost 10 years back) - Acer TravelMate 5520G-501G16Mi P/N: LX.TKP0C.002
AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 2.0GHz
ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 256Mb 64bit
3GB RAM
ATI Chipset


I also have another issue since updating. On the bootup i get the 'MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC' message. [ Click to hide ]
It hangs there for about a minute and then proceeds with the boot process. No idea if it’s related to the original issue. I researched it a little bit and different sources suggest updating BIOS, but i think i have the latest one installed. I also tried using different boot parameters suggested:
acpi_use_timer_override - caused no noticeable effect [File Attachment: 01_acpi_timer_override.zip]
radeon.modeset=0 noapic - hanged the boot for equally long then threw an error and proceeded booting further [File Attachment: 02_radeon_modeset.zip]
noapic noacpi - just hid the error message, but still waited for about a minute before proceeding
[File Attachment: 03_noapic_noacpi.zip]
apic=debug - spawned more debug info as expected
[File Attachment: 04_apic_debug.zip]
Respective log-snapshots attached. I had to connect additional USB thumbdrive in the process, so disregard that.

Let me know if i can provide additional logs/information to help resolve this issue.

P.S.: I also considered updating to latest beta (7.0 b3 at the time of writing), but i’m in no hurry so if it’s worth researching this particular issue i’ll hang for the time being. Might have to rollback to 5.0.8 eventually if the latest one doesn’t work either.

I used the following links to get my installation going and the machines are booting up fine.

But when testing with 6.95.x I find that the machines are unable to reboot or shutdown cleanly. They get stuck as follows;

Reached target final steps.
Starting reboot...

And thats it , they stop there until physically power cycled. Testing with 6.0 appears to be working fine. Can anyone help with this issue?

Hi
Has anyone notices an issue when skipping forward or back on movie playback?
Movie plays very smooth until I skip then it starts to constantly stutter (no dropped frames)
If I pause after the stuttering has started, then play there is no change, If I pause then skip forward while paused then play movie resumes playing smooth.

Regards

Well,

i'm reading a lot around here. sraue himself told us, that he was and still is developing OpenELEC (even most of it).
My question is simple and directed to @sraue:
Can you deliver us a new beta (at least just that people know if itis being developed seriuosly enough)?

People trying to compile by themself get errors: openelec.tv/forum/20-development-discussion/82751-compiling-error

and please don't bother tellig us about LibreELEC: i have tried it. even the stable 7.0.2 has bugs, that i didn't had with OE 7 beta 3.
And i don't want to start with the LE 8 "alpha" which (is based on the Kodi 17 beta)

I2C Raspberry Pi to PIC24F - by: junki

I'm new to PIC's and PIC programming but I'm working on a little project to try get a PIC24F32KA301 to communicate with a Raspberry Pi using I2C. The Raspberry Pi is the master and the PIC is the slave. I have created a little Python program on the Raspberry Pi and tested that it works by successfully communicating with an Arduino, what I want to do now is replace the Arduino with a PIC.

Just for completeness I've included the python program below:

I'm pretty sure I've connected the PIC and Raspberry Pi correctly:

GND <---> Vss (pin 19)
SCL <---> SCL1 (pin 12)
SDA <---> SDA1 (pin 13)

The Raspberry Pi is powered over USB (I think it's 5V, but it might be 3V) and the PIC is powered separately using a 3V battery. The Arduino didn't have any pull up resistors so I assume it's ok to not have any on the PIC (maybe this is wrong?).

I'm using C with the XC16 compiler and the i2c.h library to program the PIC but I'm not really sure what I'm doing, I've tried my best to piece things together from I2C examples and little bits I've read on various forums etc:

The code is quite simple (but probably wrong!). Basically I initialise the I2C module and turn on an LED, then I enter a loop, open the I2C connection using address 0x22 and wait for the master to send some data. When data is received I check it's value, if it's 9 I turn on another LED.

On the Raspberry Pi I can confirm that the PIC is accessible by running i2cdetect -y 1. I can see the PIC at address 0x22, which gives me some confidence that I'm at least heading in the right direction! However, when I run the python program I receive an IO error, the error number is 5. I've looked around to find out what that means, but it's a very vague error, basically anything could have gone wrong!

I'm not sure if it's my circuit that's incorrect (i.e. do I need pull up resistors, if so how do I calculate what resistance they need to be?) or my PIC program. If anyone can check the program makes sense or has any advice I'd be very grateful.

Thanks.

WeTek Play bootup? - by: Geeba

Dug out a WeTek Play I had doing nothing and thought I would start to use it as an Openelec device to replace my aging ION mini PC, I downloaded the .img file and created the mSD card, hard booted the box and went through the setup and it all looked fine.

Problem is if I turn the WeTek off with the remote, when I boot it up again it doesnt go to Openelec but back to the WeTek setup wizzard? - is there anyway to hard install openelec to nand? or to make it boot always from the SD card? - I really want a pure openelec box as I dont need another android device on the TV. ;)

Pointers appreciated.

hey all, hope one of you can help me out here...

wetek openelec box running 6.0.3

kodi boot looping after around 30s or so.

after factory resets, cache wipes, etc etc, i realised that when i disconnect the ethernet cable it will run fine...
if i boot up box disconnected from network it will run fine for hours(or indefinitely) but after say 10mins after connecting to the network the box returns to boot loop.

things to take into consideration;
lots of repositories and add-ons uninstalled
updates(openelec/add-ons) turned off
kodi on smartphone streams fine from wetek box even during boot looping
i have wiped vdr tv/guide settings and cache, and started from scratch(initially thinking it was vdr problem)

any insight would be greatly appreciated,
m.

Kernel panics when installing OpenElec on NUC - by: RvL

Hi all,

I'm having difficulties installing OpenElec 6.0.3 (and 7.0 beta3) on my new Intel NUC5CPYH (Braswell Celeron).

While loading the installer or during install (or actually on every random moment), I'm being plagued by random complete freezes. Sometimes a kernel panic is shown, most of the time Fatal exception in interrupt. Sometimes a 'attempting to kill the idle task' is shown.

If I'm fortunate enough to get OpenElec installed, it crashes in most cases soon after starting the installed OpenElec. I never made it through the initial config wizard...

I've also tried to load different Live CD such as Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Mint 18, which suffer from the same panics.

Is there anything known on this issue. I've read something about the older Bay trail NUC's freezing if the intel_c_state isn't set to 1 in syslinux. But for the current Braswell NUC, all I read is install and go...

Please help me, before I RMA this dreaded machine....

Wifi TP-Link T2UH AC600 only working partially - by: elec_raspi

As there are plenty of other AC600 based Wifi adpaters supported I thought the TP-Link Archer T2UH AC600 would be a good match because of it's large external antenna.

However for anybody who reads this I can only advise you not to buy this wifi adapter - at least with the current version OpeneElec 7.0 beta3 it does not fully work:
  • In the 2.4 GHz frequency range only the lower channels seem to be visible/usable (channel 13 is missing and even configuring it to EU or DE does not help)
  • The 5.0 GHz channels are missing completely (at least my Wifi on channel 36 does not appear at all)

hey guys, brand new to fire tv, kodi, open elenelec. please bare with me on some items since im brand new to this stuff.

i just purchased fire tv and installed kodi on it. after reading up, i see it's a good idea to use with a VPN, so i purchased an account with IPVanish. i've tried following a few tutorials like this one: seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-install-vpn-for-openelec-on-kodi/

i've installed metalkettle, openvpm, vpn for openelec

when i try to configure openELEC i receive this error "vpn for openelec error, check the log for more information". unfortunately i cannot get past this. i don't know where to access the log files for more info. i was able to install the logviewer which shows warnings and error messages but for some reason it doesn't seem to show the logs for openELEC.

anyone have any feedback as to how i can solve this issue?

thanks in advance!

ps - i'm not using this with a computer. i'm plugging it into the monitor and using kodi to install packages etc.

The password and ssid don't have special characters, so the problem is something else.
