  • Constant Disk Activity -

    Hi Klujum,

    Thanks for your comment.

    Killing the Plex container ended the disk writes, but I also have all of PMSs auto update functions enabled

    Yet, the external disks (2,5", USB powered) keep spinning with flashing diodes even after I completely shutdown the device.

    Tonight i'm going to have a look at the BIOS options and maybe try a different PSU.

  • Constant Disk Activity -

    Hi Community.

    I'm having quite an issue with my generic libreELEC setup, using an i3 gigabyte brix with several external hdds attached.

    A few weeks ago two of them failed shortly after another, and the majority of my media library died with them.

    Monitoring the disk usage, i found that the attached hdd's are constantly in use, with writes of 20 to 50 KB/s, even when I stop the kodi process.

    The disk usage drops when I stop the (idle) Plex container.

    Since i am running the rig 24/7, i was wondering whether there are any power-management options available?

    Thanks for your help!

  • ntfsfix available?

    Hi Community,

    I'm using LibreELEC Generic.x86_64-sky42-9.0.0-#190130, for the added Crypsetup.

    The machine acts as a media server and nzbget client, with several external USB HDDs.

    They are encrypted with LUKS, the volumes are NTFS formatted, because I *thought* that I may wanted to access them via libreCrypt from one of my windows machines.

    However, yesterday my download destination HDD failed.

    It is still recognized as as a blockdevice (shows with "blkid"). i was also able to successfully unlock the LUKS volume.

    Unfortunately, i can not mount the /dev/mapper/xx volume --> "Failed to read NTFS $Bitmap: Input/output error"

    I attached the HDD to a windows machine, and the drive is not recognized. It appears in the hardware manager for about a minute, before it disconnects. Hence, I am unable to perform a filesystem check.

    At the moment, I do not have access to another linux box.

    Are there any tools available on libreELEC to check and fix the corrupt NTFS filesystem, like ntfsfix?

    Any help is much appreciated, since I am facing the loss of about 3 months of data.

    Thank you very much!

  • Server Monitoring Software

    Hi LibreELEC Forum,

    I'm using LE for my media center solution, but also have quite some services running in the background.

    Can you recommend a (free) monitoring solution with good logging abilities for network (traffic/access), filesystem etc?

    I can't seem to find a decent solution (that I would be able to install) :/

    Thank you very much for your hints!

    Kind regards,

  • HDMI-CEC on GB-BKi3HA-7100 (Phillips Easy Link)

    Hi Community,

    I just switched from a RaspberryPi3 to a Gigabyte Brix GB-BKi3HA-7100 and am using Sky's LE builds.

    (LE 9.0 with more hardware accelerated encryption and dm-crypt)

    When I used my RPi, LE auto connected to the PulseEight CEC "Device" and I could conveniently control it via my IR remote.

    Do you know how I may enable it on the Brix?

    Gigabyte Support has not been helpful (yet).

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thank you very much for the hint... -.-

    BUT, am I missing something again?

    I have installed the Add-On, and configured my Playlist under Add-Ons > User Add-Ons > PVR Clients.

    Unfortunately, I dont find it in the "usual" Addons Section. And don't know how to start the streams :/

    Any help is appreciated!
