hmm, I keep on struggling with sending audio over network with kodi (although on core-elec in stead of libre-elec). When I start from clean slate and just do it in from cli like the wiki it works. Trying to commit it to config doesn't seem to work, I've not managed to make it persist a reboot
<evert1>
which is so odd, my kde based desktop uses the same pulse sink and that works flawless
psymin has joined #libreelec
<lrusak>
To or from ?
<evert1>
from kodi to a (dedicated) pulse server in the network
<evert1>
I think I need to load the zeroconf-discover first
<lrusak>
That Module should be the only one you need to send audio
<lrusak>
Or you could just load the tunnel-sink directly
<evert1>
how do you mean?
<evert1>
I also don't understand where it could cache things. Currently I have the sink visible and as default, but it's not working. And somehow I get some of this bad state persisting after a reboot
<evert1>
I tried in config/autostart.sh to have just a line to load the discover module and one to set my (known) sink as default
<lrusak>
Well the zeroconf module will just load a tunnel sink if it finds another pulse server
<evert1>
without loading it, it won't show me the tunnel sink?
<lrusak>
So what’s the actual problem?
<evert1>
and is using autostart fine for this, or will it still require a kodi restart (like doing it manual?)
<lrusak>
You don’t need to restart Kodi
<lrusak>
Not for a tunnel sink
<evert1>
I think there are multiple problems: I don't fully understand how the pulse network stuff works, but I got it working just using the zeroconf, setting correct tunnel and restarting kodi service. Actual problem is I have no idea how to persist it after a reboot, adding the same manual steps to autostart.sh doesn't give the correct result
<lrusak>
And make sure that when autostart.ah runs that pulse is started already
<evert1>
how do I verify/check that?
<lrusak>
I wrote the wiki article a long time ago. It’s not very clear about what restarting Kodi does, but in this case you don’t need to
<lrusak>
You can maybe check pactl info to see if the pulse server is tuning
<lrusak>
* You can maybe check pactl info to see if the pulse server is running
<evert1>
if I don't load the zeroconf module, I can't see any tunnel sinks in pactl list short sink
<lrusak>
Correct
<evert1>
(so it gives an error when trying to add one as default)
<lrusak>
Ah, well the zeroconf module may take a bit to find the sinks
<lrusak>
So you may need to wait till the sink is available before making it the default
<evert1>
maybe let's rephrase my question: in what config file would you add this configuration?
<evert1>
because maybe the autostart.sh is not the best solution to start? :)
<lrusak>
there isn’t really anywhere else
<evert1>
so adding some sleep in the autostart.sh between loading zeroconf and making the tunnel default?
<lrusak>
But you probably don’t need to set the default sink anyways. Pulse should switch to the new sink when it’s added
<evert1>
that would blow my mind after struggling with this for so long (with intermittent tries to get it working)
<evert1>
thanks a lot for your help, I'll try it again later tonight with the new information (it's difficult to test, because I'm unable to turn the screen with kodi on currently to change the audio settings and play something)
<evert1>
if just adding 'pactl load-module module-zeroconf-discover' to the autostart.sh file will make it work, that would be amazing

lrusak: just having loaded the discover module will show the tunnel via ssh/cli, but it's not an option in kodi UI as audio output device
gouchi has joined #libreelec
<lrusak>
it doesn't have to be
<lrusak>
you can just set kodi to use the pulseaudio default device
<lrusak>
and check your default device using "pactl info"
<evert1>
oh, it never clicked that that could even work
<evert1>
because it's worder 'pulse: default, bluetooth audio' so I thought it was something BT
<lrusak>
yeaaaa, we do that because it's really just to let people know that if they are using a bluetooth headset they need to use that device
<lrusak>
but it's just a name
<evert1>
ok, great progress :)
<evert1>
I did have to set a default sink, because the one it selected by default is the wrong one :(
<evert1>
awesome. Reboot and it works! You have no idea how happy that makes me!
<evert1>
that did the trick indeed, going from 5 to 10s sleep
<lrusak>
or just use `connmand-wait-online --timeout=30`
<lrusak>
or `wait-time-sync --timeout 30`
<lrusak>
that way you don't have to just guess with `sleep`
<evert1>
I never heard of conmand-wait-online, from what package/utility is that?
<lrusak>
connmand is the network manager that LibreELEC uses
pragmaticenigma has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<evert1>
awesome, the conmand-wait-online --timeout=30 works perfect
<evert1>
thank you so much for the help lrusak!
<lrusak>
cheers
<evert1>
lrusak: just wondering, currently
<evert1>
my pulseaudio server is on 24/7, but I'd like to make the / ro and only turn it on when actually needing it (saving a few watt idle power usage). How will this setup react to it when I start my kodi box before the pulse server? Will it try reconnecting until it's available?
<lrusak>
probably not
<lrusak>
in that case maybe the zeroconf route is better, but then you don't really have control of which device to select (if there is more than one)
<evert1>
that's too bad, but given the fact that the zeroconf selects the wrong sink that's not helping either (or I need to make sure on the pa server I only expose the 'good' sink)
<evert1>
sadly my amplifier doesn't have a power outlet either (that would be so handy for something like this)
<lrusak>
you could write a script I guess to poll for an IP and add the sink then, but that's not very nice
<evert1>
i'll have to test it first to see what happens and then ponder about solutions (or just accept the quick kodi reboot)
<lrusak>
unfortunately we patch kodi to only show the one pulseaudio device, otherwise kodi would enumerate all pulse sinks and allow you to select one specifically
