Status of Kodi Addon repository/project

sanzoghenzo · 29. Juni 2023

Hi there!

First of all, thank you for this wonderful project!

I discovered it a while ago while searching for an ambilight-like setup with my kodi media center and the living room yeelights.

Since the current kodi addon is fairly old, I've updated it and made a PR to the official repository, but it seems that there's nobody there anymore.

Do you confirm that there's no interest/willpower to maintain the add-on anymore? If so, and if you don't mint, I will directly submit a PR to the official kodi add-on repository in order to make it available to as many people as possible.

Thanks for the attention, have a wonderful day!

Thanks for your contribution!!!

Hyperion’s dev team is currently bare bone and therefore it seems that your PR just slipped through. Sorry for that.

I am currently traveling, but I will have a look when I will be back home (~ 2 weeks).

Hoping that works for you.

sanzoghenzo I reviewed the PR now. Please see my questions/feedback within the PR.

Kudos to sanzoghenzo who updated the Hyperion grabber Kodi add-on to have it working on Nexus.

Find here the new version.

Hi,

is that the solution for

[WIP] DRM Grabber by Paulchen-Panther · Pull Request #1422 · hyperion-project/hyperion.ng

Summary I'll spare myself the many words and refer you to the Issue. Everything is still WIP and miles away from the result. Issue: #983 To build this PR…

github.com

and will be included in the next release? (Time for Donation!

Hi Johnny ,

I'm not sure I follow.

We're talking about the Kodi media player Add-on that sends the played media to Hyperion via PROTO-port.

Unfortunately for you, nothing has changed on Hyperion side.

But if you install kodi media player with the widevine add-on you should be able to use DRM contents (and send it to hyperion).

Lord-Grey · 12. Juli 2023

Johnny The Add-on will allow to capture Kodi 21 (Nexus) screens on platforms other rpi.

rpi4 does not work for sure; I had not the chance to test on rpi3...

For rpi(4) there is stil a Kodi issue with has been moved lately to Kodi 21.

The add-on bridges the time until someone will finalise the good work Paulchen-Panther started on a native DRM grabber.

I noticed at link provided it said

This plugin does not work for Kodi running on Raspberry Pi. There is an outstanding Kodi fix for that.

Bummer about kodo on pi but is there any way for similar functionality?

tratzum · 5. August 2023

For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to edit my post.

What I am looking for is a way for hyperion to only be active during a video. Not in menu or paused.
My current setup is a pi4 running LibreElec. Years ago when hyperion was young I did manage to do this.

Hyperion Control v20 doesnt work on a raspberry pi 4.

I made a rollback to 19.0.2

Lord-Grey · 6. August 2023

Zitat von Johnny

Hyperion Control v20 doesnt work on a raspberry pi 4.

Are you talking about the Hyperion Control or the Hyperion (Kodi) add-on?

The Hyperion (Kodi) is about screen capture, the Hyperion Control is not.

Maybe you outline what is not working…

Johnny · 6. August 2023

No, i mean Hyperion Control. I was on version 19.0.2

With Version 20 this addon doesnt work.

Rolling back to 19.x --> all is fine

Lord-Grey · 7. August 2023

Zitat von Johnny

With Version 20 this addon doesnt work.

Johnny It would be helpful to get a bit more detail that any failure in the add-on can be investigated and fixed.

a) Did you install the add-on from the official Kodi respository: https://kodi.tv/addons/nexus/s…service.hyperion-control/

b) What OS you are running on the rpi4

c) What does not work exactly? Installation, functionality?

Thank you!

Johnny · 7. August 2023

Hey Lord-Grey

of course.

a.) Yes, the addon made a automatically update to 20.0.0 (Repo: hyperion-control master)

b.) LibreElec 11.0.3

c.) Installation was fine (automatic update). Disable hyperion at Kodi Menu was without any function. With 19.0.2 all is fine.

Im a little bitte surprised that Version 19.0.2 is no longer in repository ? Can you put them again into the repo?

It was never published as a release. You might have downloaded it from the master branch.
For convenience, I created a v19.0.2 release now.

Johnny · 7. August 2023

Thank you very much

Lord-Grey · 18. August 2023

Johnny I assume that you configured the plug-in this way:

correct?

There seems to be a Kodi bug, with the first start.

Could you just try to

Enable Menu = on -> Save
Enable Menu = off -> Save

Does it then work as expected?

Johnny · 20. August 2023

Hi Lord-Grey

here are my settings. These are working with Hyperion Control 19.0.2. The same settings doesnt work with 20.0.0

I try your test and can confirm, that work until reboot. After that, Hyperion is again active in Kodi menu.

This is fixed in Omega Alpha 3... maybe there will be a backport to Nexus?

I do not know. That you would need to check with steam Kodi.
