Can't run 'find' command

    Hi,

    on Linux i can run a command using the files that are found with 'find' as input with that command line

    Code
    find /input/path -type f -name "*.mkv" -exec echo  {} \;

    where is {} the file name.

    Thats doesn't work on LibreELEC. Here i have this error

    Code
    find: echo: No such file or directory

    you are not using gnu find or regular shell and you do not have coreutils installed. your echo comes from busybox shell and is not available as executable.

    Technically 'find /input/path -type f -name "*.mkv" -exec echo {} \;' is the same as 'find /input/path -type f -name "*.mkv"'

    How can i fix that? How can i run echo in the same way as on every other linux?

    Change your command practices and stop using useless "-exec echo {} \;" argument in find. That's default find output and it does not need -exec echo.

    I won't argue about busybox find not supporting -ls, cause I understand that not all environments are equal and I accept it.
