  • RPI3 - 7.95.010 - Random Video Issue

    Looking at the Kodi.log it states Kodi 16 whereas hardware and system.log states 7.95.010 which is Kodi 17.

    Have you upgraded? If you are running Kodi 17 then you need to be aware that the cache naming convention changed.

    It should look like: This is what I tried.

    <cache>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <memorysize>139460608</memorysize>
    <readfactor>20</readfactor>
    </cache>

    This didn't work:

    <cache>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <memorysize>209190912</memorysize>
    <readfactor>60</readfactor>
    </cache>

  • RPI3 - 7.95.010 - Random Video Issue

    I had something similar on IMX6 streaming videos from NAS via NFS. The screen would freeze with the round buffer symbol at 100%. I only needed to restart Kodi.

    I had been playing around with advancedsettings.xml to improve video caching, but by removing those sections. i.e. going back to default (in my case deleting the whole file) seemed to cure the issue. Could be worth a try.

  • add-ons not loadable

    I had something similar but on Ubuntu. I solved it by setting the fixed IP in my router and setting Ubuntu to DHCP.
    Everything worked after that.

    BTW: Can you change your "Subject" to be a bit more specific - add-ons - is not very helpful and will give a lot of false hits for searches.

  • Please include socat

    I think you need to include a description of what socat does, how you intend to use it, and how you feel it could enhance LE as a media server.

    Remember that LE is "just enough for Kodi" so if it doesn't offer any real benefits, I doubt if it will be included.

    However saying that, have you investigated whether is can run standalone on your system? if so it could be run from you local /storage.

  • Question About Bluetooth Adapter

    A lot will depend on what you intend to use it for - audio, KB, Mouse or file transfer?

    I WON'T say all BT adapters will work, but most should. I bought a $1 one on ebay and it worked fine.

    If it's going to be used extensively, go for a slightly more expensive model

  • Fixed IP

    Does your WIFI SSID have spaces or special characters in it? IF so try removing then so "My Wifi" becomes "MyWifi".

    I've never had an issue with setting static IP's so it is possible something else is wrong.

    Do you mean having German text in Kodi? If so, you need to setup the language in Settings -> Skin -> Regional.

  • Fixed IP

    After you connect you will see it has connected using DHCP. Select it again and you will see it now has 4 options. Disconnect, edit, delete and refresh. Select "edit" and under IPV4 -> IP Address Method -> Change to manual.

  • Installing LibreElec on Cubox I

    Are you talking about the original Cubox with the Armada/Maxwell 510 chip? If so, then you are out of luck. The only Kodi version that was available is Geexbox but that has not been updated since 2012 when I last looked.

    If it's a Cubox-i IMX6 then it can be installed with the LE installer.

  • Raspberry Pi3 rainbow box

    When I first got my RPi3 I had no end of problems with power. Eventually I had to settle for a 2.5amp power supply.

    The RPi3 is notorious for power issues, so much so that some people have deactivated the onboard wifi and BT. (Not recommended unless you are damn good at de-soldering!)

    As suggested by popcornmix have you added more USB devices? If you have USB devices attached, you could try using a USB powered hub to get around the problem.

  • IMX6 V7.90.010 NTP checking every 15 seconds

    Interestingly, after a reboot.

  • Different temps on different boxes

    How are you getting the temperatures? Via #cputemp?
    You have to bear in mind where the different sensors are located on the die. Some have one per core, others a single sensor.

    To be sure, you'll need to use an external temperature gauge on the actual CPU. (or use the cheaper equivalent of the human finger (Do not try this at home health and safety warning))
