Could not resist in openmultiboot to install latest satdreamgr (ver 8 zeus) and these files (/dev/dsp nor /dev/mixer) is not there and i am getting the same low crackling sound as in openpli.

Maybe the info you "blzr" wrote about is coming from earlier versions based on same base as 7.3 where KODI works with sound?

Has the kodi sound problem been solved because I still have no sound on VU + Uno 4K SE kodi?

Some are writing that this is the solution, but it is not working for me, but you can try if it works for you.

 

Ok, if someone want to test (I don't have any vu receiver here), please try as below:

1) install alsa-plugins - attached (they're not available in the feed (yet), these are from my home build)

opkg install libasound*

2) change content /etc/asound.conf to

pcm.!default {
    type oss
    device /dev/dsp
}

ctl.!default {
    type oss
    device /dev/mixer
}

3) make sure that multi-chanell audio downmix is ON

4) run kodi, check if you hear anything, give feedback ;-)

//oh, and just in case, this is only for the (all) vu*4k* arm receivers, not for older 1st / 2nd generation mips boxes...

And sound in Kodi is working. Haven't tried it yet on my Zero4k, but /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp do not exist on the Zero4k, so I doubt it will work on that

 

The sound only works with asound.conf updated and multi channel downmix activated.

 

Also: the sound is pretty delayed. Any idea how to make exteplayer3 work with kodi?

I also tried to install pulse audio and try using pulse instead. But I get an error trying to play sound:
 

# aplay /media/hdd/test.wav

shared memfd open() failed: Function not implemented

ALSA lib ../../alsa-plugins-1.1.6/pulse/pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused

 

aplay: main:828: audio open error: Connection refused

[dragnan]

hmmm... I installed some pulseaudio modules - and now /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp are gone - so I guess, I fucked it up...

So, you're say sound does work on vuultimo4k after all?
With only alsa-plugins installed and config adjustment?

Then, I'd assume that it should work on other 4k vu boxes too (?),
have you already tested on zero4k?

[dragnan]

it did work until I messed it up by installing stuff. Now /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer are gone and it doesn't work anymore. On Zero4k it doesn't work either

[Pr2]

No sound on Satdreamgr on the Duo4K

[ntj]

Do you know how you got these files to your Ultimo4k from the very beginning (i dont have them on my Ultimo4k)

unfortunately not - they were just there. I reinstalled openpli - but they are gone...

I have installed all the packages on my VU+ Solo4K and I restart the box but there is no: /dev/dsp nor /dev/mixer  created after reboot.

[littlesat]

Maybe someone could create a script for it that downloads the packages and installs them and modify the required files for the time being?

[Pr2]

Why since it doesn't work?

[foxbob]

Try adding this dependency to the kodi

RRECOMMENDS_${PN}_append = " libcec \

                                                             ..........

                                                           alsa-plugins \

                                                          "

And this,may be.

 

-   PACKAGECONFIG ?= "${ACCEL} ${WINDOWSYSTEM} lcms \

+  PACKAGECONFIG ??= "${ACCEL} ${WINDOWSYSTEM} lcms pulseaudio \

[ntj]

Have done some tests

 

i changed the file /etc/asound.conf to the standard openpli one in openspa with working sound in KODI (the standard one in openspa have same content as suggested to use in this tread)

rebooted and tested if sound was working and the result was that the "system sounds" in KODI like clicking sound when moving in menu was now missing BUT sound was still working in addon video-s.

 

So maybe getting asound working is not the full solution?

After a new reinstall, without backup, i can see SSID name in network parameters. A litle bug stay if you change SSID by selecting another one in WIFI network and saving it in  network parameters :the SSID isn't saved. To save it you need to enter in SSID name, modify it and resave.

 

Also 5 GHz WIFI isn't stable, there are some disconnections. On my TV, at 5 GHz no problems.

 

List of bugs :

 

A search in the plugin Tunein Radios generates a crash.

Chromium doesn't start.

Sometines the AVB mode settings is lost (2160p auto) : and it necessary to select it again.

 

Thanks for your job.

[littlesat]

Chromium is not supported for us by vu+
Can you post the log from the TuneIn crash. Did you get the plugin from our feeds?
What do you mean with avb mode... note sometimes a vu+ cannot correctly determine a video resolution. You do not get issues when you let the vu+ scale up:down

Put all IPK in tmp and run install command and got this:

Did try one at the time and got:

Hello, I wanted to install the above audio drivers and now this error pops up every time I want to upload something from telnet, it does not upload on TV, there is now a problem with updating Openpli 8 or you can somehow remove this error without reinstalling the Openpli 8 system

First sorry because my post isn't at the good place.

 

Chromium works fine on original Vu+ image.

I get TuneIn from openpli feeds.

Yes i get a correct issue when i reselect the scale again.

Yes orriginal vu+ image deviates a lot... So you cannot compare... VU+ did disable chromium in our BSP. So simply the manufacturer disabled it.... Nothing we can do about it. It might be license related.

 

There are reports elsewhere that TuneinRadio should work. Please search on forum. It sounds like it does crash on a json (config file) or so....

 

For TuneinRadio please put your further comments here:

Please note these kind of plugins do grab websites or hack a kind of app etc... and when there is a small change to such website or app they break... so this is continiously a kind of unfair cat and mouse game...

I could not get it to work without a fresh flash, maybe someone else can help you?
