LE on VMs already work as long as the gpu is passed through correctly.

The problem is the virtual graphics drivers. Only the VMware virtual graphics driver is supported in the ova.

But passthrough graphics work. I ran LE that way via kvm for years

So, what is the suggested route now to install pi-hole: add-on or container?

Thanks!

Addon is easier to set up, it still works, but is on an older version.

Setting it up manually will get you the latest version, but may not work on some arm boxes out of the box and require some manual steps to fix it.

I would suggest trying the manual method first and if you have issues, use the addon.

Please don't take my question as criticism, thank you for the hard work.

I am fine with getting it manually, (mind you, I did that and it seemed to grab the latest version and it works fine)

Not at all. I just wanted to clarify that it was a deliberate decision to hold it back, and that we didn't abandon it

I didn't update the addon version for a couple of reasons.

1. The latest version image simply didn't work on a lot of arm boxes.

2. They changed how a lot of the settings are input, leading to any web gui settings changes reverting back every time the container is restarted

They contracted Baylibre to develop mainline Linux support which was topic of Linuxcon 2017/2018.

I'm not sure if everything needed on the video side is already done.

Afaik, libreelec is working closely with baylibre on that, but it is an ongoing effort. There are development builds for various arm devices including s905x with mainline kernel. Just not ready for primetime yet

Quote from aubergine

S905X is a SoC and the drivers are there. You don't sell SoCs these days without providing Linux drivers or giving access to specifications.

So the main difference between those boxes is the remote control.

The remote may be the major difference between boxes from different sellers/manufacturers, but the issue here is with the chipset manufacturers/designers, ie. Amlogic and the like.

Afaik they only release drivers and software for a really old kernel and they only seem to care about android (I could be wrong, but that's my understanding of the situation)

For kvm, you need to pass through a physical gpu

If you just need a testing environment without a physical gpu, you can use the ova for vmware

thanks for the replay, but I still don't get it. I have place my m3u file in the .config and recordings file and get the same error.

Suggestions?

Lisa

Which path did you use for the file after you placed it in recordings? file:///recordings/iptv.m3u ?

In docker, the containers by default are sandboxed from the host. So for a container to be able to access a file on the host, the file or the folder containing it has to be mapped in docker parameters.

The addon provides two folder mappings, one for the /config folder and one for the /recordings folder, which is by default set to /storage/recordings so with the default settings, the /storage/recordings folder on le is accessible inside the container at the location /recordings

Your m3u location would not be accessible inside the container unless you either move it to the /storage/recordings folder, or you change the path for the /recordings folder to cover the m3u location.

I hope this is clear

He is using the docker addons.

Can you point me to any documentation on how external drives are auto mounted on le? Through which service?

LibreELEC 9.0 on x86

I tried to install Pi-Hole and it worked the 1st time (I was able to access the web ui).
The I rebooted the machine and it didn't start. I tried to uninstall PiHole and Docker and reinstall them.

No luck.

What am I doing wrong ?

Are you using the pihole addon or the docker commands?

Would a reverse proxy accomplish what you're trying to do?

Quote from alancs

I am trying to setup this on my system, can get 1 share mounted ok but how do I add multiple paths?

"-v /folder1:/data1 -v /folder2:/data2"

Select bind and type in the absolute path?

Start with a folder under storage like /storage/test to make sure that it actually is working, then you can move on to your external drive

It could be a number of things. Your media may not be named in the style Plex likes it so it may be having issues identifying. Or you may have been having internet connectivity issues and requests may have been timing out, or you may have been getting throttled by the metadata provider.

The one thing I can think of with regards to usb drives is that flash drives usually have pretty awful write speeds. Plus, plex libraries can grow to hundreds of thousands of files easily and to hundreds of gigabytes (especially if you turn on video preview thumbnails). I really wouldn't recommend hosting the Plex library on a flash drive.

With that said, there are no issues with the Plex docker container. Many people use with very large libraries (on ssds mostly) and scans are fairly quick.

Are you trying to create a volume or do a bind mount? You need to specify that on portainer

The library and the settings are all under the /config folder. So it depends on what folder you set it to in addon settings. By default it is under the addon_data folder on your main storage (usb drive).

aptalca I need you help I'm afraid

‘filesystem_check_changes’ => 1, This option isn't working for me for some bloody reason and I'm after setting up everything like 10 times.

I know there is other option to trigger files:scan with occ but can't get that as well can you write me a line I could put to the cron to scan files from time to time please ?

My data and config is in /storage/NexT without subfolders.... Really pulling my hear on it three days in a row

Thank you in advance.
