Load all SSA/ASS styles found in the specified file and use them for rendering text subtitles. The syntax of the file is exactly like the [V4 Styles] / [V4+ Styles] section of SSA/ASS.
<lrusak>
I’m so glad I don’t watch stuff that needs subs
<xD_>
you get used to it
<xD_>
i have doing subs for 20yrs
<lrusak>
Anime seems to constantly cause problems for video standards
<xD_>
it invented most
<xD_>
standardized the video formats
<xD_>
:)
<xD_>
if you believe it or not
<xD_>
early doom9
<lrusak>
They also try and use 4:4:4 chroma recently which is stupid, and hi10p was stupid
<xD_>
it is fine
<xD_>
if you dont understand it bad
<xD_>
4:4:4 chroma is fine for low res
<xD_>
if you go from 1080p to 720p
<xD_>
hi10p increased compression
<xD_>
also no banding
<lrusak>
Not if your hw decoder doesn’t support it
<lrusak>
It’s dumb, just use normal formats
<xD_>
well cpus are there :)
<xD_>
or cuda
<lrusak>
Not on an rpi
<xD_>
yeah dont use pi :)
<lrusak>
Yea don’t use shitty formats
<xD_>
it is good
<lrusak>
No
<xD_>
even my phone can play 10bit now
<xD_>
so just a matter of time
<xD_>
until the arm cores can do it :)
<lrusak>
10 bit is fine
<xD_>
hevc standard
<lrusak>
10bit 4:4:4 is stupid
<xD_>
depends if you want best quality it is good
<xD_>
4:2:0 -> 1/4 of your res is chroma
<xD_>
if you put that full 1/4 into 720p
<xD_>
so why not
<lrusak>
You have no idea :)
<xD_>
i do :)
<xD_>
why wouldnt it be possible to play it?
<lrusak>
Depends if a hw decoder supports it
<xD_>
4:4:4 is just higher levels of the standard
<lrusak>
Most won’t
<xD_>
no one needs hw decoder for 1080p or 720p these days
<xD_>
maybe 4k
<lrusak>
And I don’t want to use an i7 to watch some shitty anime
<xD_>
well 4:4:4 is rare
<xD_>
only on bd rips

if you can afford media player you go for big x86
<xD_>
a pi is too much incompatible
<xD_>
like you said
<xD_>
even if the mkv is slightly deviating it cant use hw decode
<xD_>
thats why you got gpus :)
<xD_>
they accelerate those well
<xD_>
like gpus in smartphone
<xD_>
if pi doesnt have it
<xD_>
dont buy pi
<xD_>
i heard the GPU core is closed source
<xD_>
so you need their drivers ...
<xD_>
well done rpi
<lrusak>
What about android?
<xD_>
no probs there
<lrusak>
Wrong
<xD_>
i played my first 10bit in 2009 with mx player
<xD_>
or so
<xD_>
long ago
<xD_>
it does utilize the gpu
<xD_>
in your phone
<xD_>
and trust me if your core is supported you can play all res without issues
<xD_>
i watched 4k movie @ plane with HEVC
<lrusak>
lol
<xD_>
no speed issues :)
<xD_>
x265 encode
<lrusak>
I’m not sure what your point is?
<lrusak>
Because 10 is bigger than 8 so it must be better?
<xD_>
just saying 10bit HDR HEVC no issues if you use proper player
<lrusak>
But if you can’t display it is it actually useful?
<xD_>
so why complain about a good solution :)
<xD_>
you can
<xD_>
even 8bit/4:4:4 is good
<xD_>
anyway wrong topic :)
<xD_>
i am here because of subs
<lrusak>
Think of all the poor souls “omg my anime is 4:4:4 hevc main 10 it looks so good watching it on my shitty phone using 200% cpu usage omg yolo bbq”
<xD_>
lol
<xD_>
if you can why not
<xD_>
8 cores 200% is nothin
<xD_>
xD
<xD_>
remember you get 720p
<xD_>
less usage
<xD_>
less pixels
<xD_>
but same details as 1080p regarding colors
<lrusak>
Lol
<lrusak>
You must be high
<xD_>
not really i part and install mpv now
<xD_>
i see where this is leading

Hello all
<SpeakerToMeat>
New user of libreelec, on a Rpi3
<SpeakerToMeat>
Question, I'm gonna hook a fan with a npn transitor to my pi, and I want to turn it on when over X celcius, and off when under X celcius (probably 70 and 65 respectively).. is there any easier/saner way than using a crontabbed or daemonized script to poll /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp ? some existing mechanism that can trigger on values itself installed? like udev, acpi, etc?
<SpeakerToMeat>
Also.. I see the Raspberry addons do not include the python RPi.GPIO library?
<lrusak>
Do you actually need a fan though?
<SpeakerToMeat>
I do
<lrusak>
For what reason? Likely a small heat sink is all you really need
<lrusak>
Unless you want to do it for academic purposes of course
<SpeakerToMeat>
I have a small heat sink, and it's insufficient
<SpeakerToMeat>
Many intensive operations cause a temp warning
<mack->
SpeakerToMeat: rpi.gpio was there last time I looked. make sure you path.append to the addon
<SpeakerToMeat>
mack-, Thanks. I was digging and just found I need to append the path /storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.rpi-tools/lib to sys.path
<lrusak>
I’ve never needed a fan when using LibreELEC
<SpeakerToMeat>
I'm glad for you
<SpeakerToMeat>
That surely makes you a better person than me.
<mack->
SpeakerToMeat: why so angry? lrusak was only pointing out in most usage cases a fan is not required. Either your environment is a sauna or you're pushing your Pi3.
<lrusak>
I’m just saying that you should check what problem you are actually trying to solve :)
<SpeakerToMeat>
My problem is my raspberry overheats.
<SpeakerToMeat>
As it's in a warm, and enclosed environment.
<ukleinek>
not sure, but maybe with the right stuff added to the dtb the kernel handles everything just fine without userspace support?!
<SpeakerToMeat>
Onyl does so under intensive loads, like right now trying to sync a whole library from plex. Or sometimes when scanning a new directory/library... but I want to limit those overheats to lenghten the pi's lifetime
<lrusak>
I mean it’s a $40 device?
<SpeakerToMeat>
mack-, Sorry, it's just my experience that people who go "you don't want X" rather than "why do you want x?" tend to be griefers disguised as "helpers".
<lrusak>
I’ve never had one die yet
<lrusak>
I’m just trying to make your life easier :)
<SpeakerToMeat>
lrusak, Ah thanks. if it dies should I contact you for a new one for free?
<SpeakerToMeat>
mack-, Right not, I'm on the fence about him still....
<SpeakerToMeat>
I mean, it does sound $40 is nothing to you. I'm so glad for it
<SpeakerToMeat>
Any more ways you can think of to "help" me? So far the help is being inmensely helpful
<lrusak>
And you are sure you won’t damage your pi with some janky wiring?

<SpeakerToMeat>
I set the fan on all the time, no transistors, no resistors, no code, no risk to the pi
<SpeakerToMeat>
I have a question... but I think it's more of a kodi thing so probably not good here
<SpeakerToMeat>

Ok, yes I knew I saw you here...

The best way to edit the home menu order and/or add some stuff like a direct link to an add-on (youtube) if possible, is directly via the xml, right?
<lrusak>
you won't be able to edit the estuary xml on LibreELEC
<lrusak>
you could try using a skin that allows you to edit menu entries
<lrusak>
or you could just add youtube as a favourite and it will show up in the favourites section of the main menu
<SpeakerToMeat>
hmmm
<SpeakerToMeat>
Ok
<SpeakerToMeat>
Not sure I wanted to change the default skin but I might
<SpeakerToMeat>
Why cant I edit the estuary xml in libreELEC?
<lrusak>
read only filesystem
<SpeakerToMeat>
And can't be overriden in a content dir file...
<SpeakerToMeat>
Hmmm squashfs...
<SpeakerToMeat>
I could go totally insane and grab the image and make a new one....
<lrusak>
you could try copying the skin to writeable space, but then you won't see any updates for the skin
<SpeakerToMeat>
or I could try an overlay....
<SpeakerToMeat>
If the skin is on a squashfs ro fs how can it be updated?
<lrusak>
by updating the OS
<SpeakerToMeat>
Ok, so skin is updated not alone but as a block with the whole / image
