    raspberry pi 3

    I found that no version 2.0.16 for armv7l, how to change script to install 2.0.15?

    Hi

    thanks for sharing the details of your system and the log.


    I assume that the script requires to be updated to work with python2 which is part of libreelec 9.2.8.

    LibereElec 10+ make use of python3 and the script works.


    I need to check this out....

    HI



    I tried to install latest libreelec and latest Hyperion, but apparently that doesn’t work with internal grabber.

    now I try to revert back to libreelec 10.0.4 with Hyperion 2.0.15 but how do I install the previous version?


    in 2.0.16 I can't seem to select the X11 frame grabber.

    Hi


    It took a bit to get it all working. Couldn’t get it to work on any version with 2.0.16:

    fresh install of Libreelec 10.0.4 x86

    than install Hyperion 2.0.15 using ssh (found to this old/deleted thread

    howto-install-hyperion-ng-on-libreelec-x86_64-rpi-inoffiziell-unofficially)

    Code
    wget -qO- https://git.io/JU4Zx | bash -s 2.0.15

    add to autostart.sh

    Bash
    #!/bin/bash
systemctl restart hyperion.service

    and it works

    Note, the script you used is not longer supported.

    It would be great, if you could share what is not working with the latest install script and 2.0.16.

    In case there are issues, we could have them addressed for the benefit of the overall community.

    i used that script because i didn't know how to install the older version of hyperion with the new script

    the old one gave me an example i could just copy and edit. (looking at it now probably just add (-s 2.0.15) to the end of the new script)

    the new script works fine with 2.0.16 didn't try with 2.0.15.


    I tried 2.0.16 on libreelec 9.0.2, 9.2.6, 10.0.4 and 11.0.6 but on none of them I got x11 working.

    with 2.0.15, x11 works on 9.2.6, and 10.0.4 not on 9.0.2 and 11.0.6.

    I tried 2.0.16 on libreelec 9.0.2, 9.2.6, 10.0.4 and 11.0.6 but on none of them I got x11 working.

    Thanks that you shared more details, as it helped to find a problem in the new install script.

    I removed the DISPLAY environment variable to the service definition under the assumption that LibreELEC moved to GBM for all platforms.

    I corrected the script and now you should be able to install 2.0.16 with LibreELEC on amd64.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.


    Note: Please backup your configuration file and import it into 2.0.16.
    The config file location on LibeELEC was moved to the standard location as on other platforms.


    I successfully installed Hyperion 2.0.16 on LibreELEC 9.2.6 (see picture below).

    If you want to run LibreELEC 11.0.6, you need to use the Generic-Legacy image to run with X11.
    see https://libreelec.tv/2024/01/29/libreelec-nexus-11-0-6/

    What is the spi parameter doing exactly? As soon as I reboot my Raspberry Pi4, I get no image anymore.

    ```

    INFO : SPI is currently not active, enabling "dtparam=spi=on" in /flash/config.txt

    INFO : Please reboot system to activate SPI configuration.

    ```


    When I uninstall Hyperion with the same script, everything's back ok...
