I guess the simplest solution is to beg, plead, whimper, threaten a kitten, and ask LE to add "net" to the LE addon Network-tools. I'm sure others would appreciate it as well.

One of the problems I have encountered with Win32diskimager is that it backups a 4G SD card as a 4G image. However, on trying to restore there is only 3.9G available (Capacity of the SD card)

You'd be better off using the LE backup option or the Kodi addon " Script Backup" to backup your settings.

As Klojum mentioned - try installing it and see if you have any issues.
I've never tried playing RAW BluRay movies, preferring to convert them first but I think the RPi might not be powerful enough - only trying will tell.

DTS-MA is playable if your Amp supports it and you enable passthru.

As to a heatsink - again, only time will tell. Generally a heatsink in a case is a waste of time as there is generally no enough air circulation to get the full benefits. At best it will only lower the temperature by 5 degrees. Adding a fan may get a reduction of 15 degrees, but if your RPi is running that hot most of the time, something is wrong.

LE provides plenty of tools to help you monitor CPU usage, I/O and temperatures to mention a few.

In the UK we observe the 12 noon custom - i.e. the "joke" is not valid after Noon (In the Global world - whose Noon?)

The earliest reference is on Aug 11, 1855 by a correspondent who noted that it was a tradition in the county of Hampshire that those who played pranks after twelve o'clock on April 1 would be greeted by the following verse:

April fool's gone past,
You're the biggest fool at last;
When April fool comes again,
You'll be the biggest fool then.

So Kodi - take note.

IF it's not a joke then Homeland security certainly have a sense of humour.

It sounds like you're running a kernel that doesn't support the RPi3.

I would try installing LE onto a new SD card and then restore your backup (I assume it's just a /storage backup from either LE or the addon backup and not a full SD card image). If the latter, do a LE backup from within Kodi, reflash a new SD card, and then restore that backup.)

You COULD do it but honestly the RPi3 is not designed for what you desire. Bite the bullet and buy something that will.
If you want to continue, the RPi3 (even with normal settings) gets HOT even with air cooled heatsinks. You could try improved cooling, water cooling, nitrogen cooling (joke) but the cost is going to be more than what a better alternative would cost.

I would try loading Raspbian onto the SD card and see if you have any issues. If you do, then the SD card is more than likely corrupt - they do get corrupted, either power failures, incorrect shutdown or just bad manufacturing.

If all works well, try installing Raspbian on another SD card and use Raspbian to try and write LE onto the suspect card.

Remember that once written the LE SD card will have 1 FAT16 partition and 1 ext4 partition. Windoze can only read the FAT16 partition (Without loading additional ext4 disk utilities)

Have you set your location in Kodi and LE?

Sorry but LE has a policy of not supporting anyone using banned add-ons. I agree the add-on looks benign but Kodi has had to make a stand against it's latest bad press concerning "illegal" add-ons.

There is always web viewer script.web.viewer but it only shows text and doesn't render pages - probably not what you are looking for but.....

Hi everyone, I'm controlling my Raspberry Pi using an MCE Infrared receiver from Philips because I have an old tv with no CEC support. With the MCE Philips remote everything works great, but I'd like to control it using the TV remote (Samsung).

Looking through internet I found a lirc conf file for my samsung remote, but the "problem" that I had is that I can't put the lirc conf file in the dir: "/etc/lirc/", when I try to copy the file I get a "don't have permissions to write in that dir" message.

I'm doing it via SSH with root user, so I should have permits right?

Any help?, Is there another dir where I could copy the lirc conifg file?

Thanks in advance.

This should help: thread-2281.html

Yup thankyou Iridium looks like /sbin/init doesn't exist. Is "poweroff" okay to shutdown KODI cleanly, I can recompile the daemon using that.

poweroff will shut down immediately. You will probably need shutdown -h - t 120 (2 minutes)

The Cubox-i has always been a community build - I.e. from those with the hardware (Not sure for the reason why it is not fully supported, but I guess it has to do with having enough hardware available for support and compiling). The current 8.0.1 build is as up to date as any of the other builds.

As I said I'm not an expert - but check /sbin/init exists. (On Cubox-i, it does not exist)
Normally shutdown command is shutdown -h now (-h - halt and now is time). Try using poweroff instead.

Sounds like it's not shutting down properly.
You'll need to provide a LOT more information. How are you running the daemon, what is the full code, can you confirm it has shut down completely.

What do the logs say?

Personally, I think you'd be better off just powering the RPi off of the motorhome's 12/24V battery power supply (With a converter). Should be able to power the RPi for weeks!
