[GUIDE] Kodi on Volumio 2.x -> Install on a nonvolumio image

Saiyato · March 23, 2017, 10:33am

Oh wow, yeah I never used it like that , ehm… good one, volume control should be Kodi’s concern, not Volumio. But I’m not sure all DAC’s are supported.

I use Kodi for viewing back tv (public channels) for example, and volume control is done by my amp (via Kodi over CEC -> HDMI). Sound is also over HDMI (pass-thru).

So in short, I have no idea how you can control your volume reliably. Sorry

yeah i was kind of interested whether its possible to control volume through software or not, as for instance with spotify plugin on Volumio there was same issue.
Nevertheless i think i’ve found one of the options for controlling volume. It what you suggested to use to control Kodi - android app. I used Yatse. Strangely it allows to control volume, but other sources such as web interface not. I wonder what is differently done there?

Thanks a lot for advices Finally i can create player i wanted . That includes and ability to listen radios, and lossless files and easy integration of spotify and youtube and tv broadcasting, and has Volumio sound quality.

Kodi 17.1 final seems out !

Saiyato · March 26, 2017, 9:21am

Ok will look for an archive (or do you know one )

macmpi · March 28, 2017, 7:27am

Unfortunately not: it seems on-the-edge distributions such as LibreELEC do compile Kodi from sources: have not tried reusing/adapting their recipe.

@Saiyato,
While investigating for possible Volumio user settings back-up/restore procedure (or plugin), I’ve been thinking about other Volumio plugins which may store plenty of custom data, such as…Kodi!
If I understand correctly, all Kodi stuff (settings, add-ons, etc) naturally go into /home/kodi/.kodi

How-about if Kodi plugin install.sh would create (if none pre-existing) a data sub-directory in /data/configuration/miscellanea/Kodi/, and then symlink /home/kodi/.kodi into it?
=> all Kodi data would go inside that plugin folder, and eventual back-up/restore procedure would nicely bring all Kodi data back effortlessly…

Quite useful for re-imaged updates, so that all Kodi environment can be saved and restored.
Makes sense?

First of all, thank you for the great work you have done. This was just what I was looking for for quite some time. The only issue I have is that Kodi won’t install any addons. It comes back with “can’t connect to the repository” Also it won’t install themes or download cover art. Network settings show up ok in kodi and my pi’s connectivity is ok too. I would suspect it to be a a permission issue but can’t find anything related to this in the log. The only permission related error is for udisk. Am I overlooking something? My most recent kodi log is attached.15:27:45.389 T:1946386432 NOTICE: special://profile/ is mapped to: special://masterprofile/ 15:27:45.389 T:1946386432 NOTICE: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 15:27:45.389 T:1946386432 NOTICE: Starting Kodi (17.1-RC2 Git:20170312-b2013fd-dirty).

[SOLVED]
I chmodded /home/volumio to 777 and that seems to have done the trick.
Everything is working fine now. It’s not how it should be, I suppose but it’s working.
Now I can play with offloading to usb and/or usb boot on my pi 3.
Thanks again for the great work.
All you open source programmers really help a great deal to make this world a better place.

Great work again Saiyato. I tested the install for Krypton rc1 and it works like a charm. There was a very long delay when accessing the repository. Like 15 minutes. But once it started going again the remaining install went smoothly.

Switching the plug-in on and off is now an easy way to restart and shutdown kodi.

The 7s delay for subtitles work but not for audio. I had to manually set that on kodi configuration itself.

Thanks again.

Hey, first of all thanks for the Plugin.

I have a question … When I exit Kodi, the screen remains black. I can also press the Play / Pause button on the touchscreen. If I then deactivate the touch screen plugin via the browser and then reactivate it again, the screen again shows everything.
Is there a way without this workaround?

Thanks and best regards from Berlin

Saiyato · April 22, 2017, 9:48am

Hi all,

I’ve been busy writing for my LCD plugin (HD44780 controller, both parallel as i2c), this has taken up most of my time lately.
I also did a partial rewrite of the install file, I omitted the Jarvis and BETA installations, so we only have 17.1 now.

The other changes are:

Remove the archive/repo/ppa and key after installation -> to make sure we don’t break packages in the future
I rewrote a part of the index-page to prevent failure (for example, the delay for Kali was only written to subtitledelay, not audio…)

I’m still working on placing all Kodi data in the plugin direction and symlink that to /home/kodi. I’m hoping to be able to release this weekend… no promises though

As for the black screen, I think this is a Kodi issue… I’ve had this, but I connected a keyboard and the prompt did appear (shutting down Kodi via the shutdown option takes ages) after pressing enter. Maybe that helps? Killing Kodi via the plugin should immediately stop the process, pressing enter should give you back the prompt, not sure what happens with a touchscreen and a browser though (since I don’t own a touchscreen that will work on the Pi).

Hello, i have one problem with the new version. When installing on a new volumio-image with nothing changed i get everything to work (even after a reboot). After that i to set up on volumio so that audio go through my hifiberry digi mounted on the rasperry. After changing that and rebooting the system kodi starts but does not show on tv. Any suggestions as to what the problem could be?

This is what ps show

Hey mate,

I’m watching a match now, so sorry for the short reply
You’ve got to configure Volumio prior to the installation of the plugin. Because configuring Volumio will rewrite your boot config. It’s somewhere in this thread if you want specifics. You can change a single memory setting in the plugin to add it to the config again.

Good luck, if it doesn’t work you can reinstall the plugin.

Cheers!

Saiyato · April 23, 2017, 8:28pm

Found some problems in the revised script, will postpone release till tomorrow. Tested on Pi1 and 2, but assuming 3 should work as well.

Saiyato · April 24, 2017, 11:48am

Initial testing looks promising, but as with all software, problems arise in production environments…
Please post back if you’re experiencing problems and which exactly

Please wait till the ‘close’ button appears, that’s when installation is complete. It takes about 12 minutes on a rPiB+, assuming your connection is not the bottleneck.

santanacorreia · April 27, 2017, 12:33pm

Mine is working very well so far. Cheers to Saiyato.

Hello, need small help i just installed volumio2 plugin, it works fine, thanks, but im wondering how to enable webserver api control, thanks in advance.

Saiyato · May 22, 2017, 12:24pm

Hey, you can enable this in the Kodi settings using a keyboard, will check if I can incorporate this in the release.
Don’t use port 80 though , you can easily use port 8080 for example.

Also attached is the latest package, I saw some garbage in it yesterday evening.

Hello Saiyato,

first of all thank you so much for this plugin. I was looking for something exactly like this, so I can play stereo files on Volumio using my Oppo’s USB DAC and sending multi-channel music to my receiver via HDMI, all without changing the SD card every time. Your Kodi plugin works flawless for me and solved all my problems. Great job.

One question: I downloaded your plugin on May 16th. Is the zip file above a later version than mine? And would it be worth the update if I don’t have any problems with the version I have. I would have to de-install my current version and re-do all my Kodi settings if I updated, right?

Another question which might be a bit off topic and derail this thread, so feel free to ignore it: I installed the new IR control plugin and use it with a little IR receiver connected to the GPIO pins to remote control Volumio with my Harmony (using the Odroid setting). Since Kodi also reacts to the IR signals I can control both that way, but that means that when I move around in the Kodi UI, Volumio skips back and forth between tracks. Not ideal. That’s why I still use an USB IR receiver for Kodi.

Theoretically I should be able to install the settings for another remote control in Kodi, so both programs react to different signals altogether. Unfortunately I’m very new to Raspberry and Linux and I can’t find any of the folders for Kodi (or anything Kodi related for that matter) and have no idea where and how to install the new codes for another remote control other than Odroid in Kodi.

In short, is what I want even possible. If yes, I might start a thread of my own asking for help, so not to clutter up this one.

Thanks again for the work you put into this extremely useful plugin and greetings from Berlin.

Saiyato · May 29, 2017, 9:55am

You’re most welcome, I too use it like that
DAC → Volumio
HDMI → passthru Kodi

No, I just removed one local entry in the sources.xml, a movie I used to test performance with a local IP. If it works, don’t bother

I have no experience with an IR receiver sadly, so I’m not sure how to help you with that. Maybe I’ll tend to that in the near future, your remark about using your harmony got me thinking… Since I use a harmony remote too (love the 900!). I’ll have to get back to you for that
