I also had a problem with my Panasonic remote. I found pressing the eHelp button and jiggering around a bit made Kodi recognise all buttons. No idea why.

I hope this is where I should post this question.
RPi4, LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20220625, using local information only on source
All the films I have on Kodi have a jpg associated. On Estuary these are displayed correctly. On Metropolis they are stretched to fill the height of the frame. With this one flaw I like the Metropolis skin but I can't find an option to say stop stretching the jpgs.
If there is an option can someone tell me what it is, if not does anyone know what size jpgs should be and I'll write a bit of code to go through and alter them.

I thought I'd give it a go whilst waiting for a reply.
On the positive side KodiVCR does now show in the list of machines and I can access the connected HDD using \\KodiVCR\600GB
Part of my problem is I'd been assuming that the source was the share - not the disk label so I'd been using \\KodiVCR\test - feel free to call me a moron
Off to test with my sync program and try to figure out what's going on with the TV remote. Now the fast forward, rewind, pause & stop buttons work buy the arrow buttons don't.
Thanks for getting samba to where it is and I look forward to \\KodiVCR

I think I'm reading it right does this
Update samba to 4.16.2 by heitbaum · Pull Request #6454 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tvThis PR is draft for the moment. It works as-is (and is correct) but would like to fix the smbclient -L as part of the PR. (It was expected that 4.16.2 by…github.commean that if I download the latest nightly samba should be working?
-
Thanks.
Your memory was nearly correct - samba:
\\digipvr\Userdata\addon_data\service.tvheadend42
I would have been searching for quite a while without your input.

My current configuration is 2 RPi3s running Kodi. One is linked to the TV via HDMI and the other is running TVHeadend server headless. I'm (slowly) moving over to a single RPi4 and I'd like to avoid having to mess with the TVHeadend settings (Rumster Forest but needs different channels from those TVHeadend sets).
Is it possible to back up the necessary bits using SSH? If so how?
-
Thanks for both of those, unfortunately neither made much sense to me
Windows I'm good with (well reasonably but no W11 PC), in terms of programming languages I'm a bit of a dinosaur (FORTRAN, COBOL, APL, PICK, Delphi). My one Linux PC is an ultra portable used for web browsing in the evenings.
Sorry for being so thick.

You will still have to use the share name directly. Browse not yet fixed.
I'm using sftp at present. I've obviously misunderstood or messed up the instructions about using the share name directly because I get access is denied. I have a utility that syncs the live films (6TB disk) with a backup (3TB disk + 2TB disk + 1TB disk). That's why I need samba, otherwise sftp would be fine.
Thanks - I think its just the last link I need. Strangely I'm only interested when it makes it as far as LibreElec.

Just tried the latest nightly on my RPi4. Is there somewhere I can have a look to see if Samba issues have been resolved or am I better off just downloading the nightly every so often and testing?
-
Thanks, my obvious misreading was that only the settings not the actual addons were saved.
ps I took your advice and bought a passively cooled case but Geekworm not Flirc
-
OK, thanks.
I can clone my Linux Mint (Clonezilla) to a slightly smaller USB stick, and I can clone Windows to a smaller disk (Macrium) and in both cases the clone will run happily so I was hoping LibreElec would be the same.
Does the LibreElec backup backup any addons (eg TVHeadend)? If not I'll just create a disk image and store that.

I want to backup the entire SSD I'm using for Kodi. I have a spare HDD and a USB memory stick. The Kodi SSD is supposed to be 120GB, the HDD also 120GB and the USB stick 128GB. My problem is that both the HDD and the USB stick are in reality a few GB smaller than the SSD. I have tried various cloning software (including Clonezilla in advanced mode on my Linux PC) and each time the clone seems fine but when pluged into my RPi4 fails to boot fully.
What happens is that the colour gradient square comes up and nothing else happens. Burning a clean image onto the HDD or USB stick and everything works.
Either I have to go out and buy another SSD or there is something magical I'm missing. I hope the latter.

I have a few videos where I have to adjust the audio. I did find that it could be fixed permanently by using avidemux (http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/) but its a lot of fiddling to find the right adjustment. I decided that unless it was something I'd watch time and time again I'd just adjust in Kodi.

OK I accept that W7 is not supported. Out of interest what fabulous new features from W10 have been used to mean that it doesn't run on W7? I have software developed this year that will run all the way back to XP (the oldest version I still have disks for).
On the issue of free W10 may be but all the stuff I'd have to upgrade isn't - a few thousand GPB there!
-
OK I know W7 is out of date but is there a reason why SD creator will no longer even open, no error message or anything in W7?
I downloaded the latest version to try with an SSD bought to boot the RPi4 from. It will recognise USB memory sticks, SD cards but not an SSD. This may be as design but surprises me.

I hear what you're saving but I think I'll give the team a chance to sort out SAMBA first.

First point - the FREE upgrade to W10 would cost me several thousand GBP (had to use that cos the normal way of expressing it is a censored word) plus a lot of time (read my post above).
Second point - its worse than that Jim! I have 3 W7 PCs (plus 1 W10 PC & 1 Linux Mint PC) and weirdly enough none of the three has experienced " all kind of known issues " It gets even worse. My habit when buying a new PC has always been wipe, clean install OS, get working smoothly, disable updates. With my main PC that dates to well before EoL for W7.
Its entirely possible that new software will come out that requires W10 or W11 in order to run. If that's the case and I really need it I'll probably have to buy a new PC, can't really see it happening though

Third point - switching to W10 (or 11 if I felt like buying a new PC) would not fix the problem I have which is SAMBA on the RPi4.

I'm not familiar with Linux so its possible I'm misinterpreting that wiki but it looks as though its intended to allow LibreElec to treat a share as a local directory so I'm not sure how it would help me to move files from Windows to Kodi or from Kodi to Windows.

Thanks - off to read now.
