In 2013 I was running OpenELEC and my Xbox DVD remote and dongle worked in Kodi plug and play. Now I'm trying to run Kodi in Raspbian instead of using OpenELEC, but the Xbox remote is not supported by default. I can't figure out how to add support because all of the articles I can find are outdated and no longer work with current distributions. Is there some setup I could copy from an OpenELEC install into Raspbian?

I want to use a pi 3 as an OpenELEC/Kodi box to attach to my desktop monitor's HDMI port. I'm looking for two things: A VESA case mount (100mmx100mm I assume, my tape measurer showed slightly under 4in for horizontal/vertial) A remote that can connect to the pi's bluetooth, I'd like to avoid using any of the USB ports if possible. Any recommendations?

General_Failure posted:Funny the HDMI sparking was brought up. That can be an appliance killer. Or at best a cable killer. The TV did that with the Xbox 360. Something hosed with ground potential. That has killed two HDMI ports on my TV. A coworker suspected the reason was that my TV was connected to the apartment building antenna network without galvanic isolator.

I used a flirc dongle with a Logitech harmony remote and that worked great. Now I'm just using a Wii U pro controller via Bluetooth because my baby got ahold of the remote and broke it

Neutral may not be bonded to ground where it’s supposed to be (at your service panel), and you may have non‐polarised or reverse‐polarised sockets, but I guarantee that neutral is connected to ground somewhere.

I wonder. I can't even grasp how the power supply for the booster works for my aerial. Everything is on the "To antenna" part of the booster supply. I don't know what I need, but "galvanic isolator" has the right words in it. Are they known by any other names? I'll have to search for one... or two. Malcolm XML posted:Also you do have RCDs or gfcis on all outlets right What are these? I just tried the Pi 3 with a normal USB supply. Still getting undervolt under load. I'll have to dig out some more higher current supplies and test. I swear the drat thing hates me.

Small update. I grabbed an admittedly overpriced 2.4A USB supply yesterday. loving lightning bolt is there even with a few % CPU load. gently caress the designers for specifying MicroUSB as the standard for the power jack. Seriously. Everything has to be completely out of spec to power the drat thing. The Orange Pi and probably quite a few others had the right idea with a barrel connector. I like the Pi 3. Really I do. But this poo poo! haha holy poo poo I'm typing this post on it. 6% load. Lightning bolt and I just saw a corrupted scanline. When I finish it's being shut down again.

It could simply be that the Pi's MicroUSB input is messed up, and it can't properly request enough power from the adapter. In-spec adapters and other power sources should only provide their full power if your connected device negotiates for it, otherwise the port is supposed to only provide 100 milliamp and in practice will only provide up to 500 milliamp if there aren't additional things done. The reason the battery pack might have worked is that the manufacturer might have skimped and simply provided the full power output and expected the device to regulate itself.

Amazon sells Anker and various brand 4-8amp USB 4-8 port chargers for $10-20, I bought one initially to charge my bicycle lights, but now I have a dedicated one for tinker projects, it's great and will happily do 2A per channel.

John Capslocke posted:Your Pi is either a lemon, or you're simply just running way too much off the USB bus without a powered hub. An 82(?) key keyboard and a generic optical USB mouse. It has a DAC board on it too now, but the problem is no different from before I added it. Maybe a little better because of the capacitor on the DAC. I have a heap of different cables and power supplies. A large portion of which I've purchased in attempts to stop the Pi 3 making GBS threads itself sadly enough. fishmech: I think you are giving most USB supplies too much credit. Most conform to the "Go hard or go home" philosophy. The only ones I've encountered that seem to have any "brains" are some Huawei USB chargers I have that will only charge certain things properly. Can't spend on unnecessary things right now, but I'll look around for versions of the suggested supplies. Amazon probably isn't a great source though because I'm in Australia. While I'm here, is there a such thing as a smart HDMI switch that remembers the EDID(?) information of a monitor? I'd like to share the 1080p monitor between the PC and Pis but because it only has one DVI input it's kind of difficult. The HDMI switches I have essentially report that they aren't connected to the device unless it happens to be the one set to be active. I don't mind the PC's second monitor / Pi monitor, but being UXGA the Orange Pi PC doesn't support it and I don't have the time / motivation to work out all the settings, edit the kernel source, recompile etc. I mentioned it in the Rust programming language thread, but I'll mention it here too. I got Visual Studio Code to compile and run on the RPi 3 last night. Definitely not groundbreaking stuff because I followed some tutorials, but for all it's overblown ridiculousness it seems to run pretty well and looks nice on the Pi.

I've got two unrelated questions. First, is it possible to set up SElinux in Raspbian on a Pi3? I did a little Googling and I didn't find anything conclusive. Of it is possible, how can I do that? Second, I got the thing to set up as a Pi-hole. It's working well for the computers on my network, but I still frequently see ads on my Pixel. I've cleared the cache for the apps that I notice them in, but it doesn't seem to help for long. Am I missing something?

They might just not be listed in any of the lists. Open up the web console activity log and then see if anything looks obvious when you run the app, then blacklist it Also double check your phone is actually using the pihole for dns

Nothing shows up when the ads appear. Should I point my phone's DNS at the router (which is set to use the pihole for DNS) or directly at the pihole?

If the router is using the pihole as its DNS then point it at that. Wouldn't hurt to try both methods, though, just to see which works more effectively.

Hmm. I did bring this up on their forums and the response (don't recall if it was a dev or a regular user) was "some apps have ads bundled in the apk. We can't do anything about those". But these are definitely Google ads. I thought maybe a different perspective would be helpful. I'll try reddit, I suppose. Any thoughts on my other question, regarding SELinux on raspbian?

You need alternate packages which have been built for Arm architectures, and unfortunately (as far as I know) there's no such distribution available for Dropbox.

Seafile is better anyway for the most part. It's dropbox, but pushed via a private torrent from any machines you put in the group. You do need a server running MySQL or maybe Postgres though (although it's designed for MySQL). Note that MariaDB is now the open-source fork of MySQL, so that's what you should install, assuming there's an armhf fork. Unfortunately this install isn't trivial last time I did it. Note that this may have significantly poorer performance than Dropbox since you don't have a big CDN that can access all your files, cache them, and push them out. But it's the next best Dropbox alternative and tbh if you can follow a couple pages of install instructions, it's better for privacy.
