Entertainment api Coreelec

[Shawn9347]

@SJunkies So I managed to install hyperion.ng as a service on Coreelec but without the entertainment-api. I grabbed a release for amlogic https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng/releases and unzipped it with this command: curl -# -L --get <release_url> | tar --strip-components=1 -C /storage share/hyperion -xz

What I don't understand is that the release file has 2.0.0alpha4(now 5 just got updated) in the title but when extracted and booted up it says version 2.0.0.

At first I thought it was an issue with their pre compiled binaries so I cross compiled your entertainment branch on a debian laptop in docker for my amlogic platform. But it has the same issue. When I look into the build files it does include entertainment api in the code but when I start the service with the extracted binaries entertainment api is nowhere to be found in the web ui. And it says version 2.0.0 instead of 2.0.0alpha4.

Sorry for the really late reply!
It sounds like you downloaded the right version, but it starts only the integrated version that comes with Coreelec!
BUT: The entertainment API is ready and will be merged (i hope) into the master branch soon! ;)
So there is a high chance, that the next Coreelec release could use / update to the next hyperion.ng version with the entertainment-api included! 🤞

That's fantastic news!!! I am soooo looking forward to it. I will finally get to see the full potential of my ambilight setup.

How long do you think it will take? Are we talking in weeks or months...?

I hope the merge in the master branch will take place in the next few days.

Hey, from what I can understand from the commits the api is now combined with the master branch?
Awesome work! Hopefully they will soon release a coreele version of it.
