MisterT: after reading your forum post, it's unclear whether you're doing a feature request or wanting to learn how to code a PR yourself. Maybe try again on the forum either offering a bounty or asking specific coding questions in the dev forum? *shrug*
<mack->
just my experience is that treating new hardware support as a "problem" or "bug" usually doesn't get many results.
<MisterT>
mack- i would say feature request ;) but i am only a ppl working on datacenters you know ? cant code :P thtats why I said "seemed to be driver issue" - for short: feature request and wanna help to get it work in future updates of LE
<MisterT>
xbox one pads one of the most used gamepads...
<mack->
yes, and I suspect it would be a good candidate to be picked up. I would submit in the feature request forum.
<mack->
also, you might check the retroarch forum, if you haven't already .. that might be where you got the github link you had in the forum post

I think so - on retropie (same Rpi3 hardware) the same gamepad is works flawlessly - can only driver issue (mayboe BT but I dont think so then i didnt see keypresses on btmon) ?
<tonsofpcs>
hi all, just updated to 9.0.0 from 8.2.5 on a Pi 2B, video output is 480 instead of 1080 and I see a mostly purpleish screen with a horizontal line in the top left of brighter and darker pixels that looks like it should be the image but is squashed (pressing up/down on the remote makes it change)
<tonsofpcs>
I can ssh in just fine
<tonsofpcs>
the boot screen shows normally as well
<tonsofpcs>
looks like I'm configured right too....
<MisterT>
tonsofpcs can you test another hdmi cable and then restart your pi thru ssh ? sounds like broken hdmi cable (coz recognition of right resolution is made also thru hdmi cable via handshake)
<MisterT>
the bootscreen is only framebuffer thats not quite the same
<MisterT>
didnt change anything before upgrade in /boot/config.txt ?
<tonsofpcs>
did not change anything. Don't have another HDMI easily accessible but can swap to an SD card from two days ago (did the upgrade on a fresh clone after using it for a day to make sure the clone was good)
<MisterT>
try with the fresh sd card on same hdmi cable
<MisterT>
if same issue something hardware based - if issue is away something in your settings got messed up
<tonsofpcs>
8.2.5 SD card is fine, switching back
<tonsofpcs>
9.0.0 still shows symptom. boot framebuffer is 1080, display loses sync then switches to 480 with that purple (dark, looks like the ubuntu 18.04 default background color almost)
<MisterT>
tried to change resolution manually in kodi settings ?
<MisterT>
to 1080
<tonsofpcs>
the kodi settings file shows the line I pasted above. Not sure how to change it otherwise.
<tonsofpcs>
display is 99%+ purple with a green line across the full top row of pixels and first ~1/5 of second row of pixels
<tonsofpcs>
up/down on remote makes that turn into red/green/blue/yellow patterns
<tonsofpcs>
(the top line and 1/5)
<tonsofpcs>
(it might be 2 and 4 pixels rather than 1 and 2)

put or change these lines with putty in ./storage/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml and after u did that - restart your pi (its from my pi setup with fullhd resolution)
<MisterT>
if I am not thinking wrong: rpi2 and rpi3 uses same image and same gpu - i dont think its problem of the image more of an upgrade failure
<MisterT>
messed up... so ussie is gone ?
<tonsofpcs>
ussie?
<MisterT>
*issue
<tonsofpcs>
yea, it just booted and is showing me everything... I want to diff these but diff isn't installed, going to scp them off...
<MisterT>
stop can you navigate and see the gui without any problems ?
<MisterT>
check it twice bevore diffing
<tonsofpcs>
yup
<tonsofpcs>
of course it doesn't remember my pvr or file settings...
<MisterT>
so then (no diffing needed) put back all setting from old guisettings - except these lines beginning with videoscreen...
<MisterT>
reboot and test it again (the videoscreen settings have to be set up manually to be sure)
<MisterT>
one stupid question to others :D way to restart kodi on LE 9.0 with SSH command (without restart whole Rpi3) ? :D
<tonsofpcs>
does it autorestart if killed?
<MisterT>
tonsofpcs didnt understand what u mean exactly
<tonsofpcs>
pkill /usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin
<MisterT>
ah - possible but its not the cleanest way - pkill is hard and can interrupt stuff ;)
<tonsofpcs>
it kills kodi then it will auto restart about a minute later
<tonsofpcs>
pkill -2 ?
<MisterT>
no i found the clean way only test it to be sure
<MisterT>
yeah works didnt know kodi has systemd file on LE - systemctl restart kodi cleanest way (w/o interrupt signals)
<MisterT>
you shoud use kill comands (such as pkill) only for dead or freezed processes (can innterrupt config files if something goes really bad)
<MisterT>
coz of interrupt signals
<MisterT>
*can destroy config files
<MisterT>
do u got old guisettings w/o videoscreen lines working ?
<MisterT>
tonsofpcs feedback ? :)
<tonsofpcs>
I just manually set them in the ui
<MisterT>
the other lines (not videosettings related) putted back in and working w/o issue ?
<tonsofpcs>
didn't bother
<MisterT>
ok one hint on System / Display you have something called allowed resolution where u can choose multiple settings - there choose all beginning with 1920x1080 (maybe disable some refresh rates - dont know your display)
<MisterT>
tonsofpcs this prevents display to fallback on other resolutions - maybe that keep you away getting this issue again
<MisterT>
so be happy again using LE :D

Hi. uhh, i have a minor issue setting up LibreElec. I assume i'm in the right place?
jevinskie has joined #libreelec
<mack->
MeTrOiD_shift1: sure. Go ahead and ask a question and someone might be able to answer.
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
thanks, will do :)
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
OK, so I used LibreElec USB creator, select LibreElec V9.0.0 and write to USB disk. I then put that into my HTPC (Toshiba T130 core2Duo, (old) etc.), boot from USB, install (yes, wipe whole drive). Reboot, and it brings up the configure screen. So far, so good.
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
Next, at the first screen, i hit 'LibreElec' to change the name of the device/computer. I make it, say "LibreElec T130", and hit "Done". Then, the dialogue disappears as expected, but pops up immediately after with the default text 'LibreElec'.
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
Effectively, i can't change the name of the system, but...
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
I let that go, and tried to manually set the IP. similar thing. It lets me change it (and subnet, etc.) but after going to main menu then back to IP settings, it's defaulted back to what it originally was.
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
I'm really not sure what i've done.
<mack->
if I recall correctly, that field is actually the computer hostname, not a "friendly" name, so no spaces allowed.
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
...oh
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
sorry, i'll try that again and see how it goes. be back in a few minutes
<mack->
hrm..that ip settings sounds odd though
<mack->
You're booting from the Hard drive, with the USB drive unplugged?
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
uhh, yeah, i believe i was.
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
I've tried Openelec with similar issues, so i gotta reinstall Libre 9.0.0 first :)
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
the autoconfigure IPv4 was a 169.254 address, but i THOUGHT the live boot played OK with DHCP. i'll try both in a few minutes.
<mack->
make sure you're not missing a Done or OK button when doing the settings.
<mack->
it doesn't autosave like so many applications do these days.
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
oh, i'm used to windows 7 (making the transition to linux though because i dont want to touch windows 10) so i'm used to accepting/ok-ing most things
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
so
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
the name, you may be right about the spaces, but i think my issue at least was due to LENGTH. "LibreELEC_T130" didn't work, but "LibreT30" did. so that's problem one sorted.
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
thank you very much for that! :)
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
the other thing though... for some reason you MUST specify a gateway (i guess even if it doesn't exist) or else it kinda looks like the settings changed, but they don't stick.
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
so i set my gateway (which i actually do need) and the settings stuck.
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
not sure if there is anywhere/anyone i could suggest that if there's an issue with the entry, it simply tells you 'device name too long' or 'all fields must be filled', so others don't have the same issue...or was it just me? :P
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
end of rant
<mack->
re: the hostname. _ is allowed in Windows, but not linux/unix :)
<mack->
you're wanting a hyphen - most likely, haha
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
OH
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
ok
<mack->
a-z (case insensitive), 0-9 and hyphen
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
oh, actually, yeah, in windows there's no underscore either.. sorry
<mack->
I think the reasoning behind the gateway - if someone has hit Manual config, they likely know they need a gateway

yeah, that's a fair point...
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
haha, AHAHAHA, i'm a dumbass
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
so, i was having the 169.254 issues so i was trying to set a manual IP address..
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
turns out, the media center WAS connected through the patch panel to the switch, but there was a bad cable between that switch and the router....
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
needless to say, it's all fixed now (don't know what caused it to fail, but cable's replaced now), and this has fixed my last issue (can't select the confluence skin).
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
mack- thanks so much for your help, including being my rubber duck :)
<mack->
glad I could be of some use :) Time to burn that cable so you don't accidentally use it again
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
that's it :P
<MeTrOiD_shift1>
thanks again. hopefully i don't need to head back, but if i do, i know there's good people here :)

hey guys
<andre4s>
i have a problem with librelec 9.0.0 on my raspberry pi 3 model b+. i am on millhouse nightly build of today and its working like charme. only looks like i have some vram problems.
<andre4s>
for example i installed mr boom (bomberman clone), dosbox and the "vram test" and got on all of them black screen but the musik of bomberman for example is running in the background
<andre4s>
if i press select and 4th button i get the "gamemenu" and can see the picture rendered like it should
<andre4s>
anyone any idea howto debug this?
<mack->
andre4s: I haven't tried the emulator in LE, but you might try devoting more system ram to the GPU in the raspi-config (no vram on a Pi)
ant_thomas has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<mack->
LE has typically defaulted to small amount devoted to GPU, since not required playing media.
<andre4s>
mack-, havent found until now how to change this on libreelec
<andre4s>
on my archlinux that i have had running before i had to change /boot/config.txt
<andre4s>
have found something nearly similiar in /flash/config.txt
<andre4s>
oh, thanks!
<andre4s>
havent found this wiki site before!
<andre4s>
thanks a lot!
<mack->
easiest way is to just pop the SD card into another computer to edit it

hello !
<speeedy>
so quick question, I know its old, but if I want to upgrade from openelec (6.0.3) to libreelec, do I just put LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-9.0.0.img.gz in the update folder and reboot ?
<speeedy>
its on a rpi2
<andre4s>
i do have still the black screen problem with more gpuram
