Currently running an RPi 2 with LE 9.0.2 and was considering upgrading to an Odroid N2 until the RPi 4 came along.

Will the RPi 4 do HDR 10 and HEVC/H.265 at 1080p as well as 4K?

Also, in terms of running Kodi, does the N2 have any tangible benefits over the RPi 4?

Thanks Zomboided for your response and excellent addon.

I know this is not related to the addon, but what sort of percentage speed reduction if any do you see with PIA?

Looking at VPN's and in particular Express VPN, IP Vanish and PIA in that order. Are there any known issues with any of these running in VPN Manager?

Thanks very much indeed klojum.

I would like to specifically change the DNS in LE if you could advise as to do that.

I would like to configure LE with the Google name servers instead of using the ones referred by the router. How can I do this?

Thanks.

Thanks very much Vpeter - I only use LibreElec so have no other system to compare it to, all I know is that it was there in Jarvis,

It would be nice to get a response from a dev if only to say that the addon system menu option was removed for some reason.

There should be an option in Kodi 17 - as there was in 16 - for system-addons-system-dependencies etc. but it is not visible. Where can I find it or make it visible?

Thanks.

Thanks vpeter.

After logging in via ssh, what is the exact path to the kodi/addons directory?

Thanks.

Klojum clearly doesn't have an RPi, because the GUI is laggy even on the RPi3. It's just slow. Almost any Intel IGD will have it beat as far as the GUI is concerned.

I have an RPi 2 and there is no lag whatsoever. I did image a new Krypton SD after the update from Jarvis was stuck on the boot screen - many others reported this - so no residual stuff - thumbnails, caches etc - to slow things down.

apc the problem is that when you connect to a VPN you've punched a massive hole in your firewall and you're at the mercy of your provider to filter unwanted traffic. This is particularly an issue on a box like LE where the root password is widely known. Some VPNs are better than others at filtering, but you should definitely check...

What is the significance of these factors to those of us who have an ISP that issues external dynamic IP addresses that constantly change and also uses NAT so that all local equipment is on the internal. non-routed 192.168.* network?

Hi zomboided,

I would like to run VPN manager for openVPN on krypton and secure my connection. I have read that my kodi box whould be visible to the outside world with a default password.

What would be the best way to secure my kodi box?

Thank you

Securing your Kodi box and securing your connection are two different issues. For the former you need a firewall - unless your Internet connection uses NAT - and for the latter you would need a VPN.

I think the LE Image Creator still has 7.0.3 included to create a Jarvis SD card.

Hi,

I have a WETEK OpenELEC Box which I upgraded to LibreELEc last week. now, the HDMI-CEC control with my TV Remote does not work anymore. It used to work fine with OE. Is there some problem with the new version? Is it a configuration issue?

Cheers, Mav

You could go the TV advanced settings and then CEC - or whatever your TV brand calls it - and then scan for CEC devices. If Kodi is listed - which it should be - select it and see if that resolves it.

I noticed that the codec info overlay is much more basic in Krypton - missing detailed information such as skipped/dropped frames etc.

Is there a way of accessing more detailed codec info as displayed in Jarvis and before?

Anyone tried 8.0? Still Firmware from post 8 needed there?

CEC works fine for me on LE 8 with RPi 2.
