Am in the process of retiring my appleTV for a raspberryPI with LibreELEC. It is pretty awesome so far. A couple small things do need work but thats for the future. Right now I‘m looking to at least get kind of feature parity for the things I use. Mainly I run plex for music, shows and movies as well as youtube and twitch, all very performant, even on wifi. As some of you might have noticed, I have recently released a next gen peertube addon to help with peertube adoption and accessibility. My only nonstarter so far seems to be steamlink. It runs great on appleTV so I figured it must be doable on kodi as well since the pi4 is powerful and kodi does everything else very well. I found this library today on my journey: https://github.com/ValvePython/steam If anyone wants to help developing the addon, let me know.

RISC-V haui_lemmy • 2 weeks ago • 100%

Huge fan of risk-v and massively overwhelmed by analysis paralysis. I‘m in the market for risc-v hardware to develop on and play around with. After some consideration, I will get an sbc for the hard tinkering and low level stuff and I‘m thinking of getting a tablet for regular use (browing, ebook reading, controlling smart home devices) as well as development and packaging stuff. My reasoning for using dev hardware on a daily basis is that for myself to be able to use features, I need apps which I am incentivised to compile and package for risc-v. I‘ve seen very promising risc-v videos but I‘m not sure what to expect from a tablet. To add to that the pinetab v is out of stock which was a strong candidate. I know there is the new tablet from deepcomputing but its in preorder and the shipping to germany is pretty expensive. (100$ plus). The HD display is pretty awesome compared to the pinetab v but afaik the pinetab comes with accessories. Any experience with risc-v tablets and which other offers do you consider good?

Voyager haui_lemmy • 2 weeks ago • 100%

Hi folks! First of all, huge appreciation for this insane lemmy client. I‘ve been using it for two years roughly and I‘m over the moon about it. I want this app to be even more wonderful so I wanted to share my idea for a more integrated search: Currently, when you‘re on a small instance like mine, you dont see every community on every server you are connected to due to the way AP works. For that reason, I would love to see **all** communities and be able to subscribe to them by using lemmyverse.net as a search option. **Steps to reproduce** 1. make new instance 2. add user 3. connect with voyager 4. type anything in the search bar 5. find nothing Btw I know we already have the „discover“ option but it works different from what I‘m suggesting and is less intuitive and more cluttered than my approach imo. **Suggested behavior** 1. You hit search and get „lemmyverse.net“ as a search option 2. click it 3. see all communities with the content you searched for 4. hit subscribe 5. get content I hope this makes sense to you as I think this will boost the discoverability of lemmy by a huge margin! This would also probably be a unique feature, setting voyager even more apart from other clients (and of course be a great role model for them to follow). Thanks for reading and have a good one.

RISC-V haui_lemmy • 4 weeks ago • 100%

Hi folks, after seeing a lot about RISC-V I would really like to get my hands on one of the sbc/dev boards. Since it is a hobby project, I‘d like to spend as little as possible while knowing that cheaping out wont get me far. I have looked at the starfive visionfive 2 and also bananapi bpi-f3. The latter just came to my attention today. I‘m thinking of ordering fron waveshare but the dhl shipping is 40% of the price on top so a couple friends might chip in. My personal ideas are learning to work with and program, compile, package for risc-v as well as seeing first hand how far the development progresses. I dont mind building something with the board or using it as a pc but thats not my first use. Any better options? Anyone have experience with waveshare? Other suggestions? Thanks for reading!

The peertube kodi addon has been unavailable for a long time and it's sad because peertube has a lot of cool videos. That's why I decided to make a new one for the python 3 generation of kodi. It is available on the official repository under "next gen peertube addon" or plugin.video. pt The app is pretty basic but works (tested on kodi for linux).

Today I encountered something new and dystopian: You can airplay from your iphone to an appletv but now youtube drops and locks the quality at 360p, making the content unwatchable on larger screens. Once you disable airplay, the quality jumps back to 1080p. If you choose 1080p before and enable airiplay after, it still changes. This hasnt been an issue for years. this new anti consumer move prompted me to order another raspberry pi to put kodi on.

New Communities haui_lemmy • 1 month ago • 96%

Hi folks, since the only kodi specific communities are on the two biggest instances, I went ahead and created a new one on my small instance. [!addons4kodi@lemmy.giftedmc.com](https://lemmy.giftedmc.com/c/addons4kodi) It has been around for many months and has strong uptime so please consider it here to stay. I will work on the visuals soon. Feel free to check it out and post in it. Have a nice day.

This is a **non-official** Addon discussion community for users and developers. ## Not the only "Addons 4 Kodi" As most of you might have heard, large lemmy instances are somewhat counterproductive to the idea of decentralization and therefore, I have created this community on my small instance. ## Is this community/instance gonna last? If you check, you will see that my instance has over 99% uptime since it opened - quite some time ago - so you can assume that this instance will prevail for the time being. ## How can I help? That said, you are encouraged to participate financially if you can since running an instance is no small feat, neither financially, nor timewise. I already donate to the lemmy devs so your donation will partly go into securing lemmy development as well.  [Donate](https://liberapay.com/haui111/donate) ## I dont have any money No problem. If you want to see small communities and instances thrive, all you have to do is post and comment helpful and (maybe) engaging content. People like to read stuff that isnt just a whitty remark. Have a good day.

Hi! I'm currently working on a kodi addon and I found that if you install/update from a zip file, then delete and replace the zip file with updated content, kodi cant load the contents for some reason. You have to restart. Then it works as expected. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesnt change it. Anyone have experience with this?
