I gave up on tweaking and tinkering with Kodi - bought a Panasonic 4K Ultra HD Blu Ray Player with HDR10+ Dolby Vision DP-UB450GN-K from Amazon with 2 HDMI out's - one port for audio only, the other for video. Easy peasy

The Optiplex micro relegate to streaming MiniDLNA library duties only.

On a positive note, LE is the best choice for a home brew Docker host server as it allows root login out of the box (which other distro's can not). Thank you for the great support helping me out with my Kodi experiments, much appreciated!

Okay .. got it working now after disable-reboot-enable-reboot

No picture during 4K video playback, but the sound works going from LE across HDMI to AVR pass-through.

1080p content plays back normally, without changing any "Display" settings (i.e. still set to 3840x2160p @ 30Hz)

Thank you, however this article presumes LE is hosted on a Raspberry Pi (and warns about its h/w limitations) but my "generic" LE 12.01 HTPC is a Dell Optiplex 7080 micro, and unlike Pi 5 does NOT support 4K60 output by default.

I'm not looking to upscale any media, and LE is installed as boot OS on SSD (not on SD "flash" card). The folder structure is shown on the attached pic.

1) Where do i find the location of "config.txt" on a normal Intel x86-64 PC (Not a Pi) to whitelist the 4k resolution by adding hdmi_enable_4kp60=1 to config.txt?

2) Do I need to edit/modify anything else, e.g. dtoverlay?

Thanks mate!

Sadly, the issue hasn't been resolved. I have 3 devices in the chain:

LE 12.01 running on Dell Optiplex 7080 micro (has MiniDLNA running in Docker) - this is the source/Renderer

Arcam AVR850 with pass-through

Hisense PX2-Pro lazer TV (UHT projector)

I thought I configured my AVR and projector incorrectly for 4K video output, but now I'm sure it's my LE configuration.

All 1080p content plays flawlessly

Any 4K mkv's play back and DTX sound comes out of AVR, but there's no video out.

What are the steps on LE GUI to configure 4K playback, exactly?

.

VLC on my desktop PC plays back my 2160p 4K files flawlessly, but LE server player fails to produce video output (sound only) on the same 4K mkv's.

Agreed.

How do you script a daily graceful shutdown schedule in LE ?

Is there a Docker for that, or the feature is already available in LE out of box?

Awesome, spasibo mate!

I absolutely love the idea of making any changes on a "spare" LE boot USB and quickly revert back to "main" USB without hacking the system drives, restoring the image from backups, etc. Will write up a Howto on my LE setup with Docker scripts to help other noobs like me

Thank you Tokul, I will probably let it continue to run 24x7, then clean and/or replace the CPU fan when needed.

Just curious if LE can handle gracefully the PowerOff command scheduled from BIOS as opposed to 2-step shutdown from GUI?

My LE server (Dell Optiplex 7080 micro) runs 24x7 along with a bunch of usb-attached SSD drives.
I was wondering if I could schedule automatic nightly "graceful" shutdown from the LE itself?
I know, theoretically I can schedule the startup/shutdown from BIOS, but that would just kill the running LE instance - no?

SCENARIO:
- On my current setup, the boot LibreElec 11 drive is a USB stick with limited 1Gb space.
- The downloaded files are stored in /storage/downloads/on the boot USB drive, however I also have SSD drives attached to the motherboard, which are all automatically mounted to /media/ssd1 ...ssd2 at boot time.

QUESTION 1:
Is there a way to map this system folder to an external drive i.e.
/storage/downloads/ >> symlink >>/media/ssd-x/)
OR
should I change the docker volume setup i.e.
--volume=/media/ssd-x:/var/lib/transmission-daemon/downloads \ ?

QUESTION 2:
The PC with LibreElec boots from the USB and works fine, with USB persistence out of the box.
Does this mean the "whole system" is loaded to, and runs from RAM after boot?

Thank you!

Hi Tokul,

I was asking where the KODI settings are kept (i.e. the source folder for rsync-ing)

/storage is definitely NOT the correct answer for KODI, otherwise I wouldn't be asking

my /storage folder has nothing but 2 folders - /downloads and /docker (including docker related logs).

So, how do I clone/rsync my KODI settings from the old to the new LE installation?

Sorry, forgot to ask - how do I clone my Kodi settings with rsync?

i.e. what is the source file/directory?

Thanks!

Thanks mate, I will try that and report back the results

I want to clone my existing LE 10.02 setup for a friend - including all plugins, docker containers, etc. - i.e. exact carbon copy.

I can create a disk image with gnome Disks on my main PC, but the image size will be 500Gb and the target NVME is only 256Gb

I suspect Clonezilla will do the same, size wise, so:

Q1 - what's the best way to transfer my system files to a new SSD especially of a smaller size?

Q2 - what would be a terminal command to delete all logs, or alternatively just unwanted history logs with my personal data?

Thanks!

Problem solved - symlinks don't solve the 7.7GiB problem on LE, ... Buuut

I'm actually using Krusader in a docker container on LE - and I get transfer rates up to 500Mb/s between my "downloads" folder and across external USB drives. For any file transfers outside LE server (e.g. from LE to my laptop) I use SMB

All I had to do was to restart Krusader container and the new USB drive magically turned from 7.7Gib to 1Tb !!!
