Think foreign key. I want to use one of the columns in MyVideos121.db to store a unique ID (probably a GUID) that will provide a foreign key to my database.

I want to add a link to an external database, one I developed so its under my control and I can add an additional column. I'll probably use a GUID for it. I want to add the same information into MyVideos121.db and have it imported from, exported to the nfo file.

I'm wondering which is the best tag to use. I initially thought <tag> but I don't know if that will affect performance. There are <status> and <code> which are not used and a) I don't know where they map to in the database and b) if they're not used are they going to disappear?

Any recommendation?

Looks like is was something to do with the libreelec settings problem. Installed the nightly with that fixed and TVHeadend is working.

Thank you for trying to be helpful.

However, you have not answered the question I actually asked. LibreElec asks if I want to REMOVE the addon not disable it. If I then go to reinstall it there is no download process hence I assume it has not been removed. If I look in userdata/addon_data I can't see the service.tvheadendxx folder so where are the parameters being retained and why?

Hopefully that clarifies what I'l looking for information on.

Not sure which forum to post in but here goes.

I installed TVHeadend 4.3, decided to try 4.2 and see if I can transfer my settings from the RPi3 to Dell Optiplex (both running LE). When I delete 4.3 it asks if I want to delete everything - I say yes. After installing 4.2 the 4.3 settings are still there - channel list etc.

What is going on?

Its the only one I tried. I just had an inspiration and used 7Zip to extract the .img file and that seems OK -it flashes and verifies.

Just downloaded and balenaEtcher will not flash it.

I'm wondering if its the same problem as the device name. I've looked at the log and I can't see anything obvious. I'm hoping someone who understands them better can spot something.

This is the fourth machine I've installed TVHeadend on and the first where I can't get it working. Previous have been RPi3, RPi4 & intel based HP laptop. Generally I forget to put the username & password in, correct that and things go. Not this time. I've tried with both TVHeadend server 4.2 & 4.3 and no joy.

I'm a bit concerned that LE isn't removing the addon properly because whenI remove 4.2 and install 4.3 again there is no delay for downloading from the internet.

Unless someone can point me in the right direction I'll try a fresh install when the nightlies get updated next.

Maybe I could try Ext4 next and lose windows compatibility altogether, is this an option for usb drives?

I assume from that your NUC isn't running Windows. If it is forget Ext4. Windows will not talk to it. You could try the Paragon drivers which are meant to read/write Ext4 but I have no experience of them.

If you're running LE on the NUC I'm not sure how you go about formatting a disk I've never tried it and you may have to find a Linux machine to format for you.

I have three LibreELEC installations, and this makes it a little more difficult to administer them, although I can address them separately by IP address.

You have my sympathy there

My bet is someone has hard coded it in for testing and forgotten to take it out (I'm guessing that because I've done it).

I've posted it as a bug but just in case there's a workround that I couldn't find.

I'm transitioning to a new Kodi platform (Dell Optiplex) and am using v12 nightly and can't change the device name from LibreElec. Any suggestions.

You don't say what device you're using. With the RPi3 my solution was to record to the system microSD (124GB) and then use FileZilla to transfer as necessary.

My apologies for not coming up with the right search term to find it <G>

I can understand the approach, especially when the main focus is on SBCs . I took the easy way out and my music collection is in music, my music videos are in videos and the films will be on the 6TB external drive.

I've just installed the v12 generic nightly from memory stick to ssd on a Dell Optiplex. I partitioned the SSD in the hope that the installation process would offer the option of which partition. Nope - it needed the whole SSD.

If not to difficult I'd like an option to select a partition or the whole disk.

I've just installed the latest nightly for v12 generic (LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-12.0-nightly-20230628-73e6606.img) and I can't alter the system name from LibreElec.

I found this thread System Name always reverts to LibreELEC after reboot from June this year and this thread Change hostname? from 2018. The recommendation in this years thread was to edit hostname which is why I found the earlier thread.

Here is my hostname (in line with chewitt's info)

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<libreelec>

<wizard_completed>True</wizard_completed>

I have a 256GB SSD which will be used in the Dell Optiplex that will run Kodi. I'll be installing that latest v12 nightly I can get at the time I do the install.

The install menu simply says install but what I'd like to do is reserve some of the SSD to be formatted in NTFS. Is this possible, if so how?

I tried to move from a dual RPi3 setup to a single RPi4 - not powerful enough for the job so I'm trying the Dell.
