Can someone please trigger nightly build for x86 as well?

btw. I always had impression that nightlies are triggered via some automation if at least one PR is merged during a day? But it seems that they are triggered somehow randomly, otherwise we should see 5 builds during June 11-15 and this would be consistent for all device types:

nightly-20240613-18becd8 - remote is not working with this one (no reaction to any button)

nightly-20240612-1a71ae6 - remote is back to normal

Perhaps this is the reason:

Jun 15 00:10:24.294870 NUC-ELEC eventlircd[541]: Assertion 'udev_device && key' failed at src/libudev/libudev-device.c:194, function udev_device_get_property_value(). Aborting.
Jun 15 00:10:24.329341 NUC-ELEC systemd[1]: eventlircd.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=6/ABRT
Jun 15 00:10:24.329360 NUC-ELEC systemd[1]: eventlircd.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'.

I switched the remote to One For All URC 7935, as I missed play/pause key

It works with TSOP sensor, attaching my keytable file.

It looks like texturecache.py was used for that purpose, some users tested it for Nexus so probably it works for Omega too.

texturecache.py qax movies @qaperiod=9999 @qa.nfo.refresh=1

where "@qa.nfo.refresh=1" means: refresh (remove/reload) all movies with nfo file modified during previous 1 day.

The problem is that it needs Python 2.x which is not available with Omega, so probably the easiest workaround is to bundle it together with old Python into Docker image and run it that way on LE.

Try to run some tests without NFS and see if this is the same or different?

The information you have linked to is over 7 years old and doesn't apply. Don't try this.

Good to know, thanks. However I would expect also some positive response to this guy, say "nope, no way, just restart your device" or "use that magic-command instead". Unless you are waiting for some ritual of ash and dust begging?

Quote from flintrpi

it would be nice if there was a command line I could enter from a putty session to reenable HDMI if this happens again.

see here

but probably you will need to install binaries via LE plugin

or try this

I wonder if YUV mode can be forced by editing EDID? This blog describes how to do it in the opposite direction (force RGB over YUV), but perhaps it won't work for LE.

Won't boot, no ACT light, no anything - bad SD card in that case...

Also the green led should blink with some pattern to indicate main problem - see the codes table here.

This forum is focusing on LibreElec, you might easily find more information on your specific topic on other audio/video forums like for example this one.

You will need hdmi pasthrough with 5.1 audio extractor, something like this or this. In theory it should work with any HDMI input device, including RPi.

Another thing I just noticed is that this version of LE is not switching off the NUC when power off signal is beamed, because Shutdown Menu is popping up and NUC stays with it forever (hard to notice on a blank TV screen ).

This didn't help:

cp /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/keyboard.xml /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml
nano /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml

<power>ShutDown()</power>
<sleep>ShutDown()</sleep>

This seems to solve it:

cp /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/remote.xml /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml
nano /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml

<power>ShutDown()</power>

Just installed latest LE 12 nightly (January 5 version), with Kodi v21 (Omega) Beta 2 - works well on my NUC 10, including pasthrough to HD audio.

I lost my preferred skin after this upgrade (AeonNox:Silvo) and skin repos were empty, but after re-installing skin from zip it recovered nicely, so I'm all good now

You may want to use other linux box to troubleshoot your OpenVPN connection, as explained here.

I firmly believe the whole RPI accessories scene has become an obsession. At the price you pay for an RPI they are practically disposable items. Certainly not a medium to long term investment by any stretch of the imagination.

I agree, RPi 5, just a goddess thing

Quote from mklod

The hdd tower has its own ~7A external supply. It powers both the hdds and the SATA-USB bridge. It does not make sense to add a USB hub, and the manufacturer explicitly recommends not using a hub. Why add more USB in the mix? HDDs do not draw power over USB, they are externally powered.

Yes, I noticed this Your hdd tower might be simply broken, or it might not fully cooperate with RPi by design, or maybe your energy suplier experiences some random nightly brownouts - so I would think that some little experiments may help to reveal the root couse of your problem in a better way than reading loudly the hdd tower manual - play with additional powered USB hub, maybe invest into small power monitoring tool like this, see if upgrade to LE 12 changed anything... from my experience sudden hdd "unmounts" are typically finger-pointing to some power related issues.
