My RPi4 reports the following from /proc/cpuinfo (note the BCM2835):

So I downloaded this script and fixed it like this:

> RPI_2_3_4=`grep -m1 -c 'BCM2709\|BCM2710\|BCM2835\|BCM2836\|BCM2837\|BCM2711' /proc/cpuinfo`

@pdecat thank you

thank you. I corrected it locally last night. Will fix it as soon as possible.

It doesn't work on my Libreelec. Has something changed?

This is the main thread:
https://hyperion-project.org/threads/howto-hyperion-ng-libreelec-inoffiziell-unofficially.10463/

Have you read this?
https://hyperion-project.org/threads/howto-hyperion-ng-libreelec-inoffiziell-unofficially.10463/page-3#post-26614

No, I did read some threads overthere, but I missed this post. many thank! It works now!

@Paulchen-Panther

Hi, it seems that the URL has changed , so your script fails.

@vzoltan
which url should have changed?

@vzoltan
which url should have changed?

I dont remember, it was a long time ago when i posted, and since then i managed to install hyperion on libre on raspberry with your other command:

wget -qO- https://git.io/JUvg7 | bash -s 2.0.0-alpha.6

I have used this script successfully before (currently on alpha 3), but it does not seem to be working anymore. I'm getting the following error:

*******************************************************************************

Welchen Befehl hast du benutzt?

Welchen Befehl hast du benutzt?

Same as the post above mine: wget -qO- https://git.io/JvgVC | bash

Dann solltest du evtl. im richtigen Thread nachschauen. https://hyperion-project.org/threads/howto-install-hyperion-ng-on-libreelec-x86_64-rpi-inoffiziell-unofficially.10463/
