Tried it -
LibreELEC (community): nightly-20230414-03cdde3 (RPi4.arm)
KPi:~ # systemctl stop samba
Failed to stop samba.service: Unit samba.service not loaded.
KPi:~ # /usr/lib/samba/samba-config
/usr/lib/samba/smbd-config: /storage/.cache/services/samba.conf: line 7: Light: not found
Is there a specific directory I should try to run it in?
I'm also confused. If the samba service isn't loaded and running how is samba working?
I finally found a way of re-enabling the remote on my Panasonic. It goes along the lines of:
1. get Kodi up and running
2. turn TV off and back on
3. press the eHelp key on the Panasonic remote, move up/down on the menu
4. exit eHelp
5. turn TV off and on again
I think that's what it was. Why/how it works is beyond me.
Reboot - no problem.
I'll try the commands tomorrow
Read it, not sure its the same problem. lampahojd seems to be talking about defaults and the username/password not being recognised. My problem is not defaults it when I explicitly set LibreElec to request a password and it doesn't. I'm just given access to the RPi4 with no authorisation.
Little more information: I can copy files to/from the HDD connected to the RPi4 and delete them but I can't rename them.
I've downloaded and installed the v11 nightly from 14/04/2023 and set it to use password authentication for SAMBA. However, when I connect via my Windows PC I'm not asked for a password. Is there a new option I need to set/unset somewhere?
Last year when looking to upgrade to a Pi4 from my current Pi3s I initially had problems with this on my Panasonic TV. Eventually with one of the nightlies I found a sort of fix - a few almost random key presses on the remote and Kodi started to obey it.
Today, after checking out the other problems I had had which are now resolved I started the changeover to find that the TV remote will no longer work and I can't find any way to get it working this time.
I've been struggling since September 2021 and it looks like I'll be going back to the Pi3s yet again
Since the Kodi forum is offline I'm asking here.
Eminence seems t lack a Music Videos menu option. Is there a way to enable one?
I found this
makes interesting reading
It should be depending what you want to put on it and the frequency of writing to it. I have used an 8GB micro SD card on occasions but my current Pi3s have a 128GB & a 64GB card.
Good thought but it runs fine when the Pi has booted. Its a RCESSD and the label says 1A. I can't find the requirements for the Haupagge but it says either USB 2 or 3 and looking those up a USB 2 can deliver 100mA. Using the same measure for the keyboard dongle that would give 1.2A Best info I can find for the ethernet is 180mA so say 1.4mA total leaving 1.6 mA for the Pi itself.
That was one of my thoughts and I did set it up for that before but I wiped the SSD and loaded videos onto it. Wiped using MiniTool which showed only the one ExFAT partition.
Playing with the RPi4B 4GB, as a temporary measure I plugged in a micro SD card, ethernet cable, wireless keyboard dongle, Haupagge tuner and a 128GB SSD.
Trying to start it up I get the initial boot screen then it just goes black. If I unplug the SSD it will boot correctly and I can then plug the SSD back in and access the videos on it.
I have a 3A power supply (from ThePiHut), and not only does the SSD work on the Pi I can find no problems on it when plugged into either a Windows PC or a Linux Mint PC.
I'm not overly bothered because I'll be plugging a powered 6TB drive in for real but I'm interested as to what the problem is. Any thoughts?
I finally stumbled across the deinterlacing option (I'd been looking on the main settings options and never thought about a context menu), turned it off and a quick test looks OK.
I posted about this last year when I last tried to switch over to the RPi4B 4GB. I've just tried again, and until I reached the point of recording using TVHeadend and Hauppauge WinTV-dual HD tuner things were going well. I remembered the suggestion about setting TVHeadend to record in Matroska format but playback is still jerky.
Are there any other settings I can try to obtain playback at the same quality as I get from an RPi3?
I'm assuming that there are people out there who are achieving good results or there would be many posts about it so I'm hoping someone can share the secret.
Just tried an experiment - I copied the files (2 mkv & 2 ts) over to the RPi3 system and they play beautifully so it looks like playback is the problem not recording.
Should have said LE11.0.1
I'll agree with tokul UC11 cost for a new one and add in the possibility of fan noise from a PC. The Pi runs nice and quiet.
I have a few spare and want to get off this SD Card
I just plugged a USB128GB SSD in. Works well.
I'm about to switch over to my RPi4, I'll be using an Haupagge dual tuner with it and since I bought one back when I started the move from RPi3 to RPi4 I was thinking about using the Argon One case.
I know there are mixed views on this piece of equipment so question to any using it - good or bad experience, how well does the fan switch on/off according to temperature, easy/difficult to set up, any other comments?
Haupagge dual
"What problems did you have when you tried to move to a RPi4 last time?"
I tried to use v11 nightlies and they weren't ready - SAMBA was the first big stumbling block, fast forward / rewind didn't work, the TV remote didn't work. When they were sorted out the picture quality wasn't as good as the RPi3 so I decided to shelve things for a while. Quick tests show picture quality is good, forward/rewind is working. I still need to check for other bits and pieces but it looks as though the release version (even as a beta) is good to go.
