No quarrel here. I completely understand.

Quote from chewitt

Over time we received more abuse from people demanding we require stronger passwords than people demaning the ability to set weaker passwords. So the current status quo is intentional and we have no plan to change that. Just skip ahead to the point where you've installed an SSH key and disabled passwords and the entire issue is moot.

I understand your stance. The problem is when you reject a weak password, the user may keep the default which is not only weak but known to all.

Confirming that remote works again with 20231210-e521363

Many Thanks,

Thanks for looking into this.

Having similar problems with my Xbox 360 media remote. Works to 20231125 not afterwards

CvH and heitbaum,

Thanks for your help with this. The problem was the version of fmt. The necessary changes have been made, so the code is complaint with 9.0.0, and I was able to build RPi4, Generic-Legacy and Generic successfully.

I really appreciate your taking the take to help solve this.

CvH,

Seems the the failure is related to fmt. Could you say what version is used by LibreELEC? Was there a change? It was compiling earlier in the year?

Cheers,

From the developer,
The failure is caused
"..part of the functionality provided by libfmt to format custom C++ types in log messages. It seems to work fine on all other platforms. Can you figure out which version of libfmt / fmt LibreELEC is using?"

Thanks for the pointer and for including that the log showed the error. I had to remove a few more patches for the build to progress.

The build has failed at a later stage, however, the indicates that it is in one of the MediaImport modules so I have informed the developer.

Thanks for your help

Tried make clean and make distclean

Unfortunately, the build still fails.

I am running again so that I can get the logs.

I am trying to build a branch of MediaImport, based 0n Kodi 20.02a, but it fails with the following error.

FAILURE: scripts/build JsonSchemaBuilder:host has failed!

If I build the LibreELEC master it succeeds but MediaImport fails.

Branch - https://github.com/Montellese/xbm…rt_20.0a2-Nexus

Changes to the Kodi package.mk file

1. PKG_VERSION="3e7c9fe8ea2c67c7b174781968fb71c3e23ffc34"
2. PKG_SHA256=""
3. PKG_URL="https://github.com/Montellese/xbmc/archive/${PKG_VERSION}.tar.gz"

I was able to build previous version using the same approach. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

I connect a phone (an old phone) to the hotel hotspot and use a usb cable to connect it the the libreelec box. I enable LibreELEC's hotspot feature and use that as my wifi hotspot. Only one device connected directly to the hotel network. Worked fine for me.

Hope that helps.

Does this seem like a lot of scripts for a fan and power button? Could this not be a part of LibreELEC settings addon?

Please excuse my ignorance if I am being naive. I only want to get the fan working. I have actually been using LibreELEC without this script for a few months. It just seems a lot to get a fan working. I am no programmer so maybe it looks that way because of my lack of knowledge.

Cheers,

LongMan

CvH Thanks. Please do.

Also since I have already started down the road with learning how to do it, Would you mind sharing the patch that you used.

Thanks,

LongMan

chewitt,

Thanks for your guidance. You are right, it was relatiely straight forward to build LibreELEC. Thanks for that. I built a Ubuntu 20.04 server and followed the instructions here. I was able to build 9.2 branch and 9.8 (master). It has been a long learning curve not necessarily hard just long because it took nearly half a day when I tried to build different packages. But I have succeeded in building the branches I mentioned before.

My current problem is that when I search for package.mk, I am getting maybe hundreds of hits. Could you provide a bit more specific guidance as the where I need to make those two changes.

Thanks

LongMan

Thanks for taking the time to reply and suggest a solution. I will do a bit of research to see how it is done.

Cheers,
