FUSE support question

    Hello.

    I have a Beelink GT1 Ultimate (gxm_q200) currently running Alexelec(coreelec fork) on SD.

    The system boots correctly with the LE nightly and tvheadend can play content sent from another box.

    The problem is when trying to mount a rclone unit as a service since fuse/fusermount is not included in libreelec.

    Copying the fusermount binary in the same folder as rclone I can mount the unit (from putty with the command ./rclone mount remote: /storage/rclone/) it works, but when creating a service it gives the error :Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: fusermount: exec: "fusermount": executable file not found in $PATH.

    Searching in the forum I found references to add folders to the PATH (PATH=$PATH:/usr/storage/fuse) in /storage/fuse is the fusermount binary, but the error continues.

    I am a windows user and my linux knowledge is non-existent, any help is welcome.

    Best regards.

    I assume you're asking for help in here because the CE devs have no interest in supporting the piracy-ridden fork that rips off their efforts that you installed on your box. I'm equally disiniterested for a) the same reasons, b) because it's not even a fork of the modern-kernel codebase that LE uses today.

    NB: As a random coincidence I created a device-tree for GT1-Ultimate earlier today for one of the Manjaro ARM devs to use, so support for the box should filter through to LE11 nightlies sometime soon.

    Hi.


    I use that fork because it has tvheadend as native service and gives better performance than with coreelec/libreelec.

    Coreelec no longer supports S912 and libreelec does, that's why I was trying it.

    Fuse is available in previous libreelec versions, but not in libreelec 20 and my question was if fusermount is going to be implemented.

    I had no interest in getting into discussions about whether it is a pirate fork or simila,simply i was using becose it was giving better performance in my case,,

    Sorry if the question has felt wrong.

    P.S. I am not asking for support for any fork, the question was about LE and I was explaining my current installation. I think my low level of English has led to misunderstandings.

    Regards

    FUSE was historically used in the OS for NTFS and exFAT drivers. From our perspective it is no longer required as recent kernels have native drivers for both. I don't recall it being removed, but it's quite plausible that it's been dropped - and I wouldn't expect it to return. NB: That distro has deliberate "native" support for features which are strongly associated with piracy use-cases. Users might not care but we do.

    I understand the developers' point of view about pirate uses of LE, even though it implies limiting legitimate uses of the system.

    I am not the right person for this discussion and I consider my question closed.

    Thank you very much for answering so clearly.

    Regards.
