  • Kodi doesn't start - Black screen

    Hi,

    since a few days kodi sometimes doesn't start after booting and it ends with with a black screen. the libreelec logo is displayed, then the screen is black and when normally the kodi logo should be displayed there is nothing. after rebooting 2 or 3 times kodi starts, in very rare causes kodi starts at the first boot. i'm on the last libreelec and didn't made any changes (updates or settings). the problems also occurs when i turn on the tv before i start the htpc. is there any log file where i can find some error messages?

    This is the exports file on my system:

    Code
    /storage 0.0.0.0/0(rw,insecure,anonuid=0,anongid=0,all_squash)
/media 0.0.0.0/0(rw,insecure,anonuid=0,anongid=0,all_squash)

    i also added this line to it and restarted the system, without any effect.

    Code
    /var/media/hdd3 192.168.10.21/255.255.255.0(rw,insecure,anonuid=0,anongid=0,all_squash)

    (192.168.10.21 is the ip of the nfs client).

    When i try showmount -e libreelec-ip i have the same error as before.

    Code
    clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered


    Has this error something to do with errors in the exports file or with the error when i run

    Code
    systemctl start nfs-server

    ?

    Seems the NFS server isn't running.

    Code
    systemctl start nfs-server
Job for nfs-server.service canceled

    the same when i try "restart".

    @ escalade

    I've played a little bit around because of the problem with NFS, but i can't fix the problem. I can't access to NFS rom all my Linux (i tested Xubuntu, Kubuntu and Linux Mint). When i try to mount the NFS share i have this error

    Code
    sudo mount 192.168.10.101:/var/media/data1 /mnt
mount.nfs: Connection timed out

    with showmount -e 192.168.10.101 i have this message

    Code
    showmount -e 192.168.10.101
clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered

    on all my linux machines. NFS works when i connect from the Xubuntu machine to my notebook Linux Mint.

  • Thumbs on Raspberry Pi

    Hi,

    in my bedroom i've an old tv and a raspberry pi (pi 1 modela) that i use as a htpc. before i installed libreelec i used an old version of raspbmc. on that system i could "disable" creating thumbs only by change the permissions of the thumbs folder in the home directory to 000 (chmod -R 000). so kodi had no right to write images in that folder. this speeds up the system a little bit- whats important on that very slow hardware.

    but this doesn't work with libreelec. i change the permissions but kodi creates still thumbs and i also can create files and folders in the thumbs folder. how i can fix that? it seems there isn't a possibility to disable this in kodi or libreelec settings?

  • Mounting network share in LibreELEC

    before i've tried this i restored a backup of the boot device where libreelec is installed (because of an other problem). so my first test was mit libreelec remix vers. 2017-09-08 with kernel 4.12.x and it works also with the prefix "vers=2.1".

    then i updated to the last version 2017-09-15 with kernel 4.13.2 and it doesn't work the prefix "vers=2.1", but with "vers=1.0".

    Quote

    LibreELEC 8.2 will default CIFS mounts to SMB2.1.

    libreelec devel-2017-09-15 is based on libreelec 8.2 (as i can see in the system info), but vers. 2.1 doesn't work. in the log there isn't an error

  • Mounting network share in LibreELEC

    i created the mountpoint /storage/fritzbox. the file "/storage/.config/system.d/storage-fritzbox.mount" looks so:

    after that i run

    Code
    systemctl enable storage-music.mount


    and the symbolic link was created:

    Code
    Created symlink /storage/.config/system.d/multi-user.target.wants/storage-fritzbox.mount → /storage/.config/system.d/storage-fritzbox.mount.


    after reboot the samba share isn't mounted.

    the path on the router is correct, i also tried the whole path to the usb drive without success. (1. i disables the file with systemctl disable storage-fritzbox.mount 2. changed the path in the file and 3. enabled it again and reboot).

  • Dual Boot with Grub doesn't work

    Hi,

    used this howto

    Dual Boot - OpenELEC

    to set up dual boot on my htpc. my libreelec v8 is installed on a usb drive and i installed ubuntu 16.04 on the same drive (/dev/sda3). for that test i didn't create a swap partition. but after reboot there isn't a grub menu. ubuntu starts. i have so chance to start libreelec. i also tested this with an other usb drive with an old openelec v4 with the same result. isn't this working anymore?

    this is the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom that i used to create a grub menu for openelec v4. the same with libreelec.

    Code
    menuentry "OpenELEC" {    
    search --set=root --label System --hint hd0,msdos1
    linux /KERNEL boot=LABEL=System disk=LABEL=Storage quiet
 }

    i also tried uuid:

    Code
    menuentry "OpenELEC.tv" {    
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 21247e93-512c-4aab-894b-caa7cb3a8930    
    linux /KERNEL boot=UUID=21247e93-512c-4aab-894b-caa7cb3a8930 disk=UUID=df911cc6-741b-4f8a-8ef1-3ca012a95d58 quiet
}

    this also doesn't work.

    whats wrong with that?
