Nice remote for OpenELEC

[asbo]

Here's another script for you guys

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

echo -e "\n###############################################"
echo "#       RASPBERRY PI SYSTEM INFORMATIONS      #"
echo "###############################################"

echo -e "\nCPU current Frequency: `vcgencmd measure_clock arm`"
echo "CORE current Frequency: `vcgencmd measure_clock core`"
echo "CORE current Voltage: `vcgencmd measure_volts core`"
echo "CPU current Temperature: `vcgencmd measure_temp`"

echo -e "\nFirmware Version: `vcgencmd version`\n"

echo -e "Codecs Status:"
echo "`vcgencmd codec_enabled H264`"
echo "`vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2`"
echo "`vcgencmd codec_enabled WVC1`"

echo

Name it sysinfo.sh and place it in /storage/.config/ (i.e. \\OPENELEC\Configfiles)
Run it by typing

Code: Select all

sh /storage/.config/sysinfo.sh

When I run that I get:

Code: Select all

###############################################
#       RASPBERRY PI SYSTEM INFORMATIONS      #
###############################################

CPU current Frequency: VCHI initialization failed
CORE current Frequency: VCHI initialization failed
CORE current Voltage: VCHI initialization failed
CPU current Temperature: VCHI initialization failed

Firmware Version: VCHI initialization failed

Codecs Status:

VCHI initialization failed

Any ideas?

Nice remote for OpenELEC

It is a nice remote, I have a similar remote (think it might be a slightly older version I have). However I still prefer the good old xbox dvd remote - just managed to get mine up and running, I've got a few of these in the workshop so I think I might try attaching a sensor to the gpio on the r-pi board next rather than modifying a dongle for USB use.

[asbo]

Does anyone else get really bad noise in the background when playing stuff?
No matter what I do its there, it doesn't go up or down with the volume. It starts when I play something and stops when I stop it. This is using the 3.5mm jack.

[whufclee]

Sorry never used the jack, I just use audio through HDMI. No probs with sound through that.

Can different profiles have different addons activated. F.ex. i use trakt, and the misses dont. I dont want her watching stuff submit to my trakt. There are also some addons she never will use, and therefor they dont have to show at her profile.

[whufclee]

Yes profiles can be totally seperate, different skins, addons, sources the works. Profiles work the same as they do on xbox.

[LudviG]

Mind u, i never used them on the Xbox. I made a master profile and another for the misses. But they are the same (same addons and so on), so i must be doing something wrong then.

[PressY4Pie]

Im using sound through the headphone jack just fine.

also. have you guys got an external hdd working? i cant seem to get openelec too see it

Mind u, i never used them on the Xbox. I made a master profile and another for the misses. But they are the same (same addons and so on), so i must be doing something wrong then.

Been a long time since I setup a profile on xbox but I think there's a setting in there somewhere which asks if you want a totally seperate profile or copy over the settings from the master. Something like that anyway.

[asbo]

Im using sound through the headphone jack just fine.

Hmm, I wonder if my power supply is leaking AC and causing it.

[PressY4Pie]

Are you using an extension cable on it? When i use one i get lil bits of interference. try to get one with more shielding. Or maybe just use HDMI. i think the sound quality is better. i run my pi > hdtv > sony stereo

[asbo]

I was just plugging my headphones straight into it, no extension. Maybe there's not enough power to drive the headphones or something.
I have no way of getting audio via HDMI unfortunately. I use a HDMI to DVI cable on my monitor. We don't have televisions in our house due to the licence fee.

[PressY4Pie]

ohh. try a different set of headphones to see?

You can install via fusion. If you've never used fusion before just go to filemanager and add source, don't browse just type in the following:

Code: Select all

http://fusion.xbmchub.com

Then give it a name (fusion)

Got to Settings > Addons > Install from zip
Navigate to fusion > video > repositories > xbmc-adult-repo
Voila the adult repo is installed, you'll probably also want to install the bstrdmkr repo so you can have [removed] too. You'll find Navi-X in the programs section of fusion.

I tried this for the same reason as asbo

Does anyone know how to install the adult repo on openelec?
For research purposes only of course

I had i working on my RPi at home last week, but now i am installing a RPi at the place i live when at work. I manage to install the resporitory, but when i try to get addons from it it wont open. It just get stuck at the busy sign in the corner. I can stop that by hitting the menu key. Is the resporitory damaged somehow?

[LudviG]

Actually, all resporitorys dont load. This is now second time this has happen, could it be sudden power drop without shutting down? The reason i ask about this is that i live at a barrage when at work, wich got generators for power. When we run all system during daytime, we run the big generator, and the smaller one in the evenings and night. So the power if off for some seconds 2 times a day, and the RPi have been on then.

[whufclee]

Don't know whether or not anyone is interested but I've created a couple of r-pi images. It's got a few tweaks on some addons, smart playlists and whatnot. There's rather a lot to write up about it but anyway here it is running on windows (openelec & raspbmc builds also available).

[LudviG]

That looks sweet Lee. Good work, i will try it tonight. Is it possible to rename the football section?

[whufclee]

Yeah the skin is very customisable so you can name it what you want, it's basically just a link to your favourites so you really can stick anything you want in there and easily change the background too. Just got back and am now trying to find somewhere to upload to - any ideas? MEGA is being a bit slow for me at the moment.

On another semi-related note, I decided to give raspbmc another go and wow... Sam has done a brilliant job on that over the last couple of months. I'd say it's probably not quite as fast as openelec BUT the big bonus for me is it has loads of drivers installed so even cheap wifi dongles and remotes work out of the box. You can also OC and edit all your config settings from the GUI which makes it a lot easier for the end user. If you've got a couple of SD cards it might be worth trying out both builds and testing for yourself.

[LudviG]

You dont have a dropbox or similair?
