Hi Kevin,

Sorry for the delay of my answer I missed your 2nd post
You want to launch from ssh and you don’t want to kill xbmc when you disconnect right ?
if so you can launch xbmc that way :

nohup /imx6/xbmc/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin &

Hi,

kodi executable is :
/imx6/xbmc/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin
there is an alias ‘x’ to launch quickly without remembering the whole path…

Fine

Hi,

I would advise to give a try at archlinux arm : http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/freescale/wandboard
They have packaged all my work related to CEC and it should be all good…

Hi Rene

Thanks a lot for your post,
I think the following wandboard quad build has CEC working out of the box (it also packages a recent 13.1 xbmc build) :

Please give it a try and tell me if it is not the case..

Kind regards
Stéphan

Hi pepe
Sorry for my late answer

Several remarks :
* First note that -l or –lircdev is the same option (short or gnu long formats but they are the same)
* If the socket /var/run/lirc/lircd works it is very likely because you run (event)lircd which is just fine if it is your preferred way of doing it…

Now it just works : You have properly associated lirc buttons to xbmc buttons !

It seems that you still need to associate xbmc buttons to xbmc actions and it shoud be done by the file remote.xml as it will tell XBMC how to map real actions to the buttons…
I think default remote.xml would just be ok : just copy it :
cp /imx6/xbmc/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/remote.xml /home/root/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/

Kind regards
Stéphan

Hi pepe

You have done the hardest part of the work..
To get it running with xbmc you will have to do 2 additional things :
– Launch xbmc with correct “-l” option so that XBMC reads lirc inputs
/imx6/xbmc/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin -l /dev/lirc0
– Configure correctly ~/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml
Check http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Userdata/lircmap.xml for more info

Tell me if you need more help..
Best regards

Hi christian

You can directly install the RPM you have found, it is sync’ed with Gotham 13.1 and you will have lots of improvements compared to the version you currently use..
If smart is working correctly it should install the new XBMC rpm on update but I know some images had issues with smart.
If it is your case,
– download the rpm
– Stop XBMC (by the GUI or by issuing the command “killall xbmc.bin”)
– install the RPM
rpm -ivh ./xbmc-13-r1.1.wandboard_quad.rpm

If you wish the manual extraction of the files from the image would also work…

Stephan

sorry I have not seen this error
I am currently running a build from scratch I will tell if I can reproduce…

Hi
Sorry it is simply a mistake while forcing a rebuild 3days ago…
I relaunch the build for your target : everything should be back in a few hours, if not tell me…
I will post regarding my support for yocto image. But the general idea is : I still use it by myself for my daily devs so I keep it updated.
But I do not advertise it a lot now because other more generic well packaged distro are available
If you are pleased with this image, you will be able to continue to use it (and the build in progress will provide the very last sync with xbmc 13.1)

Stephan

Hi Will

Yes you can set the preferred provider in you conf if you wish
I guess booth should work but I have not tested to be honest…

Hi Rogier

Really ? (well it should lol)
Which exact image do you use ?

Regards
Stephan

Hi Alan,

First be sure that audio passthrough works both for SPDIF and HDMI so we will find a way to solve this…
Can you tell me which image and and board you use ?

Are you perfectly clear with the audio configuration menu ?
Go to system->params->system->audio : Be sure to switch to advanced/expert level to be able to configure the passthrough device and its capabilities

Stéphan

Hi Will

A few answers to your questions :

– In fact the MACHINE variable is used first time when the build/conf/local.conf file is created : Please check in the file the MACHINE value and simply edit the value if it is set to wandboard…

– For your build issue it seems you are unable to fetch (download) a source package, It may be a transient network issue, please try to relaunch the build
If the issue persists I fear they tree from which we fetch may have been reworked : I will have a look

– At last please note that you can grab a built image for wandboard quad here :
https://stephan-rafin.net/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=13d2af7a8aad7ccbc40fbc030fbe07eb

Hi Will,

I have just installed PBS and played a few vids from FRONTLINE with no issue at all (on a custom image of mine for utilite pro)

I have read your logs : To my mind, libRTMP is missing on your target
Can you tell me precisely which image/distro you use please ?

Regards
Stephan
