[Unofficial] libCEC and Python CEC

[mafredri]

Thanks for the feedback guys, libCEC has now been updated to support both platforms, download here! Python CEC to follow.

Looking forward to trying this for my 202-TE as soon as you publish the python-CEC! This is one major flaw that I have found in the NAS so far, that XBMC can't be controlled with my remote. So thanks a lot for your work!

[mafredri]

Well, I finally got around to packaging upp python cec for i386 also. I was planning on migrating to using the Python interpreter provided by ASUSTOR, but they omitted to include the libpython2.7.so lib so that's impossible for now. I've been waiting for them to update the Python application, but who knows when that will happen.

Anyway, grab it while it's hot!

Thanks mafredri for your great work.

I installed libCEC - 2.1.4-r1 & Python CEC - 0.2.2-r1 via AppCentral on AS-304T, ADM 2.2.1R863, Kernel 2.6.39
Installation seems successful, files seems to be in place.
Sadly I get this error.

Code: Select all

root@NAS:/volume1/.@root # cec-client --list-devices
/usr/local/bin/cec-client: line 6: cec-client-: not found

Do you have any idea what that could be?
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, for some reason it seems a symlink hasn't been created by the post-install.sh script, or something related to that.

Would you mind doing:

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/AppCentral/libcec
ls -la /usr/local/AppCentral/libcec/bin

and post the output?

To try and fix this you can try to run the following commands:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/AppCentral/libcec/CONTROL/post-install.sh
chmod +x /usr/local/AppCentral/libcec/bin/cec-client-

Cheers,

I did:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/AppCentral/libcec/CONTROL/post-install.sh

it hadn't any output,
but

Code: Select all

chmod +x /usr/local/AppCentral/libcec/bin/cec-client-

gave me:

Code: Select all

root@NAS:/volume1/.@root # chmod +x /usr/local/AppCentral/libcec/bin/cec-client-
chmod: /usr/local/AppCentral/libcec/bin/cec-client-: Too many levels of symbolic links

so I still get:

Code: Select all

root@NAS:/volume1/.@root # cec-client --list-devices
/usr/local/bin/cec-client: line 6: cec-client-: Too many levels of symbolic links

Thank you so much

[mafredri]

Oh, it looks like the Asustor arch variable that is available when installing evaluates to i686 instead of i386 as I thought it would. Sorry for that, I don't have an AS-2 or AS-3 to test on so I didn't encounter this problem.

Also, sorry for taking so long to get back to you, have been occupied the entire weekend. I'll fix this soon!

In the mean time, you can fix this yourself by pasting this in the terminal:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/AppCentral/libcec && ln -sf lib-i386 lib && cd bin && ln -sf cec-client-i386 cec-client-

Don't be sorry, I really appreciate all your hard work.
Unfortunately I don't know much about shell, but I think I understand what the problem was.

This one seems to be solved.

Sadly CEC still isn't working

I tried different USB ports, same error.

I bought the adapter(new) and tested it with a win7 machine + samsung f7000.

Do you have any idea what that could be?

Oh yeah, the kernel module is probably not correctly linked either. Didn't think about that one.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/AppCentral/libcec/modules && ln -sf i386/cdc-acm.ko cdc-acm.ko && insmod cdc-acm.ko

That should fix it. The "&&" just combines commands on the shell, so basically all this is doing is creating a new symlink to the correct module and then loading the kernel module.

Hope this finally solves your problem !

Just pushed a new release, 2.1.4-r2. You can try it out if you like, should detect the i386 platform properly now .
