I am wondering if I am not becoming crazy :
I did a fresh install of Jarvis and did test regional settings : set keyboard to AZERTY french and my wirless keyboard remains QWERTY âŠsame new issue I did face in Krypton.
At least I have been able to confirm that Jarvis Libcec version is correctly waking up my AVR even if it takes 5 to 10 sec after TV goes from standby to ON.
Kryton Libcec version is not.
So I am crazy now for sure! Because I think I can remember having doing that tones of time previously and my keyboard was realy set to AZERTY.
Going to call the hospital.
EDIT : before getting confined I have just made a donation 1CT732750U482954W
well thats pretty simple to test even with your QWERTY keybaord : set it to AZERTY inside Kody, then try typping QWERTY would display qwerty = 0 change in the hardware handling.
but it was working some weeks (days?) ago.
The console keyboard wasnât changed BUT inside kody the hardware layout was correctly chanded.
Under console I needed a second step : Configuring Azerty Keyboard
In order to see if my libcec issues and keyboard layout issue was OSMC thing or just Kodi related I did install Libreelec. Libcec :
Libreelec seems to share the same version as OSMC : 4.0 v1 and has the same issues :
doesnt wake up the AVR when TV resume from standby
gives a blank screen when resuming if âstop playing when TV stanbyâ is choosed in Libcec options.
In previous version of Libcec my AVR (Yamaha RX-v473) was correctly turned ON when TV was resuming from standby.
Keyboard : here, Libreelec works perfectly and choosing AZERTY French keyboard change the screen keyboard but ALSO the hardware keyboard layout to AZERTY.
On the latest test version OSMC doesnt do that correctly and leaves hardware keyboard to QWERTY.
EDIT : I just tested again and reinstalled Libreelec, and regarding the keyboard, I did forget to mention that I did set it to âfrâ inside Libreelec config and not only inside Kody.
I installed a fresh copy of OSMC, did the upgrade to Krypton, everything seems to work fine EXCEPT when I try to add addons: it says it canât connect to the repository. When I try to wget this file commandline there is no issue. Anyone have any idea what could cause this ? thanks !
The problem is the repo is v16 and not v17 so it doesnât let you access any addons. I made the changes to the repo in the ZIP please try it and let me know if it works for you
I see that a new thread âKodi 18â as been started with nightlies pushed.
I personally still have some issues with Kypton and can only guess that I am not the only one
So why starting a 18 version when 17 is still in beta with load of things that need to be adressed?
Or maybe I donât understand well, maybe 18 version is supposed to also fix some 17 bugs?
Because v17 betas are now my job, and stable will land soon (probably just over a month).
v17 is branched, but development of new features will go in to master, which will be v18. With v18 builds, you can expect breakage until you hit more mature stages of the development cycle.
At least I managed to get one of CEC issues fixed :
Now with Libcec v4 you need to change the default âhdmi_ignore_cec_init=1â to 0 in config.txt.
With that I am now able to configure Libcec to wake up my AVR when the TV is turned ON from standby.
It took me a lot of time messing with Libcec settings when the problem was in the config.txt.
trust me, it wasnât.
Inside the Libcec 4 settings I think I have try any possible combinaisons, and it was like they had no effect at all.
Beleive me or not, but I did try during maybe 10 or 15 hours in total trying all possible combinaisons, starting the AVR before, after kodi, same for the TV, same for kodiâŠ
I did even test sending commands to wake up/standby TV and/or AVR (I cant recall what commands exactly) directly through SSH, and what is strange is that all where working correctly.
I can understand that the CEC thing is hard for dev to work on and test since there is a lot of different TV/AVR combo arround and even some brand implementing there âownâ CEC.
But maybe some basic guidlines/tutorial could be written somewhere to help user to âdebugâ/configure Libcec themself on their own install.
Those commands I did use using SSH give feedback and seems chatty with a lot of informations, but since I didnât know what to do with those infos they where useless for me.
Anyway, I have now something that wasnât working and now is I will try in the next days to see if more functions of Libcec are also working now.
For exemple turning of my AVR wasnât working too (I was using my TV option to standby the AVR instead), maybe it is now.
