For IR you can use irexec.

For keyboard I was using actkbd to restart kodi when kodi become non-responsive. (Gladly it is not needed anymore for last few months.)

No idea for CEC (only tested few times).

Rebooting from cron job at 4am every day is still better than waiting for random crash

Well, if I will notice that package must be bumped I will do it. But if everything works fine why make a bump and get into trouble. It happened in multiple occasion at OE and LE.

If you change password in settings then password is automatically set in database. If you have any other suggestion regarding how to be handled let me know.

Well, I don't use mysql so will not even notice something is wrong. And bumping just because there is new version is useless anyway.

Maybe better way would be that some advanced users would notify us "it's time to update"

I was using

mkdir /media/rar2fs
rar2fs -o allow_other --seek-length=0 /<dir containing rar files> /media/rar2fs

Seems to be working with sample rar file I have.

For whatever reason more ppl then you would expect.

Seems true. And this program is still maintained.

And I remembered I know the author

rar2fs is nice. Was using it around 2010. But who is using rars in 2019

One tip for VPN: Maybe it would be possible to "clone" VPN addon to different name and use second instance. One would be used for public VPN server and one for private at home.

Pooling gpio pin every second is probably very bad idea.

Look into build open-vm-tools config.log to see why it fails. It should not.

Quote from Naass

Using Firefox browser, I have an error saying that the site is untrusted due to self-signed certificate. I have no button to r choice on the page to tell Firefox to trust my site!

On page you need to click Advanced, Add Exception and then Confirm Security Exception. Any other server will do the same because it uses self-signed certificates. You would need to install real one (like from let's encrypt) to overcome that. Or add CA for self-signed certificate to Windows.

Regarding VPN: You would need to make some script to switch between two VPN profiles. I assume addon doesn't support that out of the box.

This is quick install for WebDAV on Windows using XAMPP (install only Apache and PHP): Download XAMPP

After installation create password file for webdav user (-c creates new file!)

C:\xampp\apache\bin\htdigest.exe -c "C:\xampp\apache\user.passwd" "XAMPP with WebDAV" miki

In file C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf uncomment modules, add auth_digest module and include dav

LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so

LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so

Include conf/extra/httpd-dav.con

In file C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-dav.conf add before </Directory>

<Limit PROPFIND>
  DirectoryIndex never-encounterable-file-name.html
</Limit>

and start server.

This should work for plain webdav (no ssl)

<source>
  <name>Webdav on XAMPP</name>
  <path pathversion="1">dav://miki:[email protected]/webdav</path>
  <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
</source>

To make it running over SSL run

cd C:\xampp\apache
makecert.bat

and set Common Name

# Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:your.server.name.domain

Then copy file C:\xampp\apache\conf\ssl.crt\server.crt to LibreELEC box under file /storage/.config/cacert.pem and run

openssl-config

and use as a source

<source>
  <name>Webdav on XAMPP</name>
  <path pathversion="1">davs://miki:[email protected]/webdav</path>
  <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
</source>

Something like that Default webdav folder is C:\xampp\webdav\ and can be changed in C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-dav.conf.

I assume you should tweak my.cnf to enable more verbose logging.

It is under Services.

Now the file is downloaded instantly.

You already mentioned VPN: would not that be easier to achieve? You only need to install VPN addon on LibreELEC and install OpenVPN server on your Windows where JRiver is running. I assume DLNA is used in JRiver?
