.. However, that doesn't explain why I can't get the weather to work. .. As with a lot of open source, Kodi is reliant on volunteer effort to get things working, and to keep them working. I would guess that the Met Office have changed their systems in some way, and this has caused the problem in Ko...

Thanks MaddyR and Dom. I think that I might have misunderstood how Kodi works. My assumption was that it was some form of front end for the likes of iPlayer and ITVX. I wasn't looking for a PVR type device (I've already got one), but assumed (silly me) that Kodi's PVR was the tool for accessing onli...

I've got Kodi installed on a Pi3B running Bullseye, and whilst I can start it up, that seems to be about all I can do with it. I've currently got the Pi connected to a monitor, but in due course, I'll plug it into my TV. I can access Kodi using Firefox from another computer. I've tried a couple of d...

First guess would be that there is a DHCP server on your network that is advertising that IP for the dns server. Usually that would be your router unless you are running a different server such as with pi-hole? Thanks. To the best of my knowledge, the only DNS server running is the router (192.168....

As DNS is not working you should check which DNS server you're using cat /etc/resolv.conf Thanks. This is where it seems to get a bit strange. I had this problem yesterday, and tracked it down to the resolv.conf file pointing to 192.168.1.1 (which was the router's address when it came out of the bo...

I changed my router last week, and up until then, I was able to access both the Internet and my LAN from all 8 of my PIs. Since then, one of them refuses to access the Internet, but is fine for LAN access. The problematic Pi is a 3B running Stretch. New and old routers were both set up as 192.168.1....

I didn't have time during my first post to explain my reasoning, then later after pcmanbob replied I started to write and got an urgent video call from work and spent the rest of the day solving an engineering emergency :-(. I had some free time this morning so I figured I'd explain now. The affect...

Yes it looks like you will need to re-build your system/OS, word of advice once you have it all working correctly make a copy of the SD card , that way if your working copy gets corrupted again it will only take a short time to flash another SD card and your back up running. Thanks. Fortunately, I'...

The error implies that the file /usr/lib/python3.5/encodings/aliases.py is corrupted or missing. A quick fix I'd try is to create a new uSD card. If that works I would dispose of the old uSD card. Unless the old SD card has gone read only then you can simply re-flash it with which ever OS you want ...

I've had a Pi which has happily been running the same code every minute for several years, until this weekend when we had a power cut. Whilst the Pi has happily rebooted, and (so far as I can tell) is otherwise working normally, I get the following error when I try to run either of the two bits of P...

Your time_log.close isn't closing the file, without brackets after it you are just getting a reference to the method / function rather than calling it, it should be time_log.close() Files are buffered so the writing doesn't happen exactly when you write to them, the system will wait until either th...

Whilst trying to work out why something wasn't working as expected, I came across another odd issue. Pi number 1 is monitoring my door bell, and when it is pressed, it calls Pi number 2 to take a picture. The stdout/stderr output should be written to a log file, along with the date/time that the but...

I was referring to just sending an SMS to your phone to say that a picture was available - perhaps by email. You don't need to do anything to your firewall to send a message.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Unless there's something I don't know about the service, the firewall changes are only needed for receiving messages, not sending. the first reference I found was this one : https://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/digital-io-alarm-in-out/send-security-camera-photos-from-raspberry-pi-via-mms-text-message....

There are various suppliers that do SMS solutions for a price. One of them is Twilio. I used to use another supplier (because I worked for them) and could send and receive SMS on my Pi via a number I obtained from them. There was a yearly cost for the number itself, plus a price per SMS sent, recei...

I'm curious why. An email is usually free as part of your mobile data allowance (no data allowance required if you are within wifi range), sending an MMS generally isn't free and in my experience is not as reliable as email. Iphones are a slight exception whereby an MMS can be sent free of charge i...

Is MMS a must rather than sending an email with photo attached ?

I think MMS (or even a SMS alerting the existence of an image) is preferable.

I'm wanting to send pictures via MMS to my mobile from a Pi. However, the number of times that this will happen in a year is likely to be very low, so a cost effective solution is essential. Some reading up suggests that there are two possible approaches to this, either an email - MMS gateway servic...

I'm wanting to email files from one of my Pis to my email account. I'm able to send emails using msmtp, so getting email to work in principle has been established. When I try to send a file, I don't get any obvious errors (echo $? returns 0), but nothing happens. I had a look in /var/log, but there ...

I took a look at some of the matplotlib docs and came to the conclusion that the methods I was proposing for label formatting were unnecessarily complicated. The following code works for me: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib.ticker as ticker date = ['12152300', '12152330', '12160000...

I found that ticker.FixedLocator expects the location of the ticks (their index values), not the tick values. Something like this works for me: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib.ticker as ticker date = ['12152300', '12152330', '12160000', '12160030', '12160100', '12160130', '1216020...

Having over-consumed on 20201225, I can only suggest the following: First, look at the matplotlib ticker module https://matplotlib.org/3.3.3/api/ticker_api.html <snip> Thanks for the follow up. I've tried looking at the documentation that you suggested, but (for me) it didn't make any sense. Yes, I...

I'm trying to produce a set of graphs using matplotlib. I can get the basics of what I'm after, but I've got a problem with the X axis. My data is temperature and humidity, which are measured every minute, and the results are logged into a csv file. I subsequently read the csv file and plot the grap...

Apologies if this is the wrong area for this. For several years, I've been running a Pi 2 with the Motion package and a Pi Cam. This was running Wheezy and Motion version mmaltest. For various reasons, I've had to move to a Pi 3 running Buster and Motion 4.1.1. Whilst everything installs and runs, t...
