lcdd: initial addon

[awiouy]

LCDproc as an addon.
I am not sure to have included all required drivers

[lrusak]

might as well build all drivers if it is being built as an addon

PKG_CONFIGURE_OPTS_TARGET="--with-ft-prefix=$SYSROOT_PREFIX/usr \
                           --enable-libusb \
                           --enable-libftdi \
                           --disable-libX11 \
                           --enable-libhid \
                           --disable-libpng \
                           --enable-drivers=all \
                           --enable-seamless-hbars"

also, it would be nice to dynamically list the drivers into the settings.xml

cat $ROOT/$PKG_BUILD/.$TARGET_NAME/config.log | sed -n "s|^DRIVERS=' \(.*\)'|\1|p" | sed "s|.so||g"

will list the drivers that are being built

Rebased:

• builds all drivers
• drivers in settings are updated at build time

LGTM

Rebased:

• removed built-in lcdproc
• updated PKG_ARCH="any"

Thank you @lrusak

[lrusak]

Perfect! I'm happy with this.

along with LibreELEC/service.libreelec.settings#33 should be everything.

Can I make a suggestion for the LCD driver settings - instead of a spinner, can you make it a list? Kodi are getting rid of spinners where there's a lot of options available.

Example: xbmc/xbmc#8644

Rebased:
use select/values instead of labelenum/lvalues

[lrusak]

a couple issues,

Could not open driver module /storage/.kodi/addons/service.lcdd/lib/l: libserdisp.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and

Could not open driver module /storage/.kodi/addons/service.lcdd/lib/l: /storage/.kodi/addons/service.lcdd/lib/lcdproc/curses.so: undefined symbol: cur_term

so just disable curses driver

[awiouy]

Rebased to add icon, curses and libserdisp
Will request testing on forum

[awiouy]

Rebased to rename patches from lcdproc to lcdd :facepalm

[lrusak]

all good? @awiouy please update the commit dates and we can merge

[MilhouseVH]

There was a discussion on Slack (or was it the forum?) about the changing location of the lcdproc config (was /storage/.config, now .kodi/userdata/addon_data etc.) which is going to cause problems/confusion for existing users. Does anyone want to address the migration issues?

@MilhouseVH so basically you want to migrate so that it detects the driver user were using? and copy the relevant LCDd.conf? I'm not sure if this matters because they have to install the add-on anyway, it shouldn't be a big deal to select the driver they want to use.

@lrusak: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=269814&pid=2437858#pid2437858

Users seem to have to manually edit a config, so migrating the existing config would make the transition easier, alternatively using the existing config instead of changing the location would make migration unnecessary.

Just mentioning it prior to merge, as it will cause noise that could be avoided.

Hello,

I switched from the 8.0 addon zip provided by Milhouse to the 8.0.100 in the repo, and it's running fine.

Thanks!
