In this section, we will be showing you the simple steps to installing the cec-client software on your Raspberry Pi.Ĭec-client is the software package that we will be utilizing on the Raspberry Pi to control a device over the HDMI-CEC protocol.ġ.

Installing cec-client to Your Raspberry Pi This tutorial should function with older Raspberry Pi’s and older versions of the Raspbian operating system. Recommendedįor this tutorial on using HDMI-CEC, we were running the latest available version of Raspbian Buster running on a Raspberry Pi 4. Equipment Listīelow is the equipment that you will likely need to complete this tutorial on using HDMI-CEC from your Raspberry Pi. Using the HDMI-CEC protocol, you can use your Raspberry Pi to control a TV in a variety of different ways, such as turning it off and on or changing the volume. Searching for the model of your TV should help you find what this setting is called. Most modern TVs have implemented support for this protocol, but it often has to be enabled within the TV’s settings. This protocol allows the TV to control another device while also allowing that device to control the TV. Would you mind telling me how you configured the path for tboplayer? So far I can only manage to open the gui but it seems like the hash for the cast to omx is not passed.HDMI-CEC is a special protocol designed for TVs to communicate with another device over an HDMI cable. Or, you can use the stremiorpi bin I linked, which forces the "internal player" (libmpv) to use vo=rpi I even went one step forward, and instead of omx, installed tboplayer and configured the path for tboplayer instead of omxplayer, and it works fine with GUI, much better than VLC in some cases

I will post it later if anyone is interestedĪgain, the main problem is, QT5 and Stremio uses OPENGL to add an OPENGL framebuffer, and this is NOT working on RPI due to buggy drivers, and the service already in use error when switching to openGL drivers and trying to play it on vlc or omx or mpv or whatever using RPI accelerationĬheck my 1st post, will avoid the VLC lagġst edit the server.js file (should be inside stremio /opt directory, search for MPV, and add an OMX option to your list I built an RPM for fedora, which installs and work great (again under fedora) without any missing packages, no compilation needed If you don't want to compile, or find missing packages not provided on stretch repo, you can switch to Fedora (FedBerry, or from fedora releases)

Or change their code to force vo=rpi, but using force vo=rpi you loose control of the video, you can't pause or stop unless you kill stremio
STREMIO RASPBERRY PI DRIVER
Stremio (QT5) is using openGL, and their WEB UI sets MPV to use openGL, and so far I'm having issues with full acceleraion video and openGL, so at this moment the best way is using the external players, and legacy driver instead of openGL driver I did some tests using different OS under RPI, even compiled my own MPV and libmpv with hardware acceleration included Then once you have that, the moment you play a video, you can right click the non accelerated video and choose play in VLC or OMXPLAYERĪnd you get the Full accelerated Video running smooth, while Node keeps downloading the stream you watch So after installing libmpv1, you also need VLC, or to make the little change inside server.js, and add the code to support OMXPLAYER


STREMIO RASPBERRY PI INSTALL
To have it working you need to do A few things, 1st, you need to install libmpv1 (the problem with the libmpv provided, it doesn't have hardware acceleration, therefore video playing on stremio will work slow ) I actually executed stremio without updating node what so ever I will keep looking if I can make an RPI version. Select a video from the library, once it starts playing (with no GPU acceleration, WHY CANT WE SET AN EXTERNAL PLAYER FOR THE BROWSER ? ), right click, choose play in OMX, and that's it, the browser will stop playing, OMXplayer will start playing the stream (while stremio engine continues to download) Open the web browser and go to, login (to get your saved addons and library), or go straight to addons and install the addons you use Using app path -> /home/pi/.stremio-serverĭiscovery of new external device "vlc" - VLCĭiscovery of new external device "omx" - OMX That's it, open a terminal window, execute node server.js, if everything is ok you will $ node server.js SubArg: '-sub-file=', // DOESN'T WORK ON MAC
