12:24 <Guest54> (newbie here....have not been on a irc channel for over 20 years) Is there a step by step guide on how to place a second monitor as default !!! running a x86 machine here!!

12:31 <cabbage> (newbie here....have not been on a irc channel for over 20 years) Is there a step by step guide on how to place a second monitor as default !!! running a x86 machine here!!)

12:32 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> tail /sys/class/drm/*/status

12:32 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> ^ this will tell you the connected device(s)

12:33 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> e.g. on my RPi5 board which has 2x HDMI outputs, HDMI-A-1 is the ‘connected’ one

12:33 LEBot has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

12:33 LEBot has joined #libreelec

12:34 <cabbage> hang on here !!

12:34 <cabbage> it will get the info

12:34 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> then make the boot partition writeable with “mount -o remount,rw /flash”

12:35 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> and then edit syslinux.cfg to append “video=HDMI-A-1:d” to kernel boot params (if the HDMI-A-1 card is the one to ignore)

12:36 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> this tells the kernel to ‘delete’ the card from its configuration, leaving only the HDMI output you want to use

12:36 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> it’s a little fiddly.. but we don’t really expect to be used in multi-monitor setups

12:38 <cabbage> tail /sys/class/drm/*/status

12:38 <cabbage> connected

12:39 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> please don’t copy paste logs into chat .. it spams EVERYONE who is connected to this channel

12:39 <cabbage> ok sorry

12:40 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> so you have VGA-1 and LVDS-1 .. so I guess this is a recycled laptop with a VGA monitor attached?

12:41 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> so append “video=LVDS-1:d” to kernel boot params in /flash/syslinux.cfg

12:41 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> (means on the same line as other boot params, not just in the same file)

12:42 <cabbage> ok will try it here!!

12:43 <cabbage> boy its been hell of a long time to irc channel ...... hell I`am lost

12:43 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> nothing changed much since your last visit .. irc is still irc 🙂

12:44 <cabbage> the app has ........alot!!

12:45 <cabbage> learning new software for guy in his 60`s takes time!!

12:45 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> Kodi’s oldest known code contributor was 81 so age is never an excuse!

12:45 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> (sadly ‘was’ is the correct tense these days)

12:47 <cabbage> ok

12:48 <cabbage> just clumsy as hell getting around around newer version of software!!

12:58 <oogabooga> What video player does libreelec+kodi use?

13:02 electro575 has joined #libreelec

13:03 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> ffmpeg

13:07 <oogabooga> Is it possible to setup an alternate ffmpeg command, eg in the long-press menu in kodi? Something akin to 'tail -f -n+1 "$@" | ffmpeg -stdin' (or however ffmpeg takes data from stdin)

13:09 <oogabooga> 'tail -f -n+1 "$@" | ffplay -'

13:10 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> ffmpeg is used via libraries, not through app, and it's used only for video and audio demuxing and decoding

13:10 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> rendering is done by Kodi itself

13:13 <oogabooga> What software does Kodi use to render the video?

13:13 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> its own

13:15 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> except decoding part, Kodi uses its own implementation for video playback

13:15 <cabbage> [slack] <chewitt> man thanks I got it working!!! so would one do this for an hdmi out put as well??

14:09 <oogabooga> jernej: what command does Kodi run to play a video file?

14:16 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> Let me rephrase that one last time. Kodi **is** video player, there is **no external** command (app) used.

14:24 <oogabooga> Is it possible to have Kodi play a file that is constantly being written to?

14:24 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> idk, why don't you just try?

14:25 MichaelOF has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]

14:27 <oogabooga> Yeah I'm not sure what and where to try. Using Kodi as is, plays the file up to where it thinks the end of the file is when it starts to play the file.

14:31 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> have you tried to use containers meant for streams, like .ts?

14:33 LEBot has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

14:34 LEBot has joined #libreelec

14:34 <oogabooga> No, I will test with that tonight. Thanks for the direction and sorry about being slow.

17:05 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> cabbage: if you’re swapping from VGA to HDMI there’s no change as you’ll only have one active connection and the LVDS display remains disabled

17:06 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> if you have VGA and HDMI active .. same process to ‘delete’ one of them: leaving one connection active
