I updated to 9.2.4/kodi18.8 yesterday after having many frustrations getting artist and title for ripping or playing CDs with the 9.2.3/kodi18.7 . I heard the problem was fixed in 18.8.
As normally happens with these damn never ending updates just a new set of problems…
Now the CDs will not rip. The CD artists and titles are now recogniszed, however the CD may start to rip, make folders then …nothing. Sometines it will rip for a few seconds then quit.
Can anyone else confirm this problem?
As I understand it, It is an addon.
Apparently there is an update for Kodi 18.8 to fix a CDDB bug Kodi seems to be unable to connect to CDDB when ripping audio discs
This fix however does not apply to 9.2.3 with Kodi 18.7 .
Can we please get a fix for this?
Just did a fresh fresh install. Now im back the Auth error with a user, pass and cert/key that i know is correct...
is this openVPN or VPN Manager?
Free software sucks so hard. This is for people that don't want to configure openvpn themselves. The instructions on the wiki tell you this.
There is NO OPTION tin the current version o configure it yourself! Only to load a config file. I can see that older versions had such options
VPN mnager just gave me another addon that did not work.
I would like to configure the OpenVPN clien directly with the VPN provider files that I have but nothing seems to work.
I just tried to use this addon with a free test account from ProtonVPN
1 My config files were at : ~/.kodi/downloads/LongFileNamewithserverinfo.ovpn
2 changed filenames to something simple like us1.ovpn
3 when files were loaded into open VPN Kodi client I had to se the same name as the file us1.ovpn. I previously saw in the log file it could not load <entered name>, so I conformed it all and it loaded
4 OpenVPN addon now says it can not connect to management interfce which I could not load at 127.0.0.1:port from the LibreELEC Chrome browser.
It's hard to guess without seeing what the error is. Plan B .. clean install the second machine and get it on the network, enable ssh on both, and then use scp to recursively copy content between the boxes.
What part of "remote install" did you not get? Not like I can talk him through a reinstall remotely . I was actually thinking of testing backup and restore on that version on a system here. Just did not get to it yet.
Trying to help a friend remotely in another city.....
He hase 2 LibreELEC x86-64 systems.
Both have been updated to LibreELEC 9.2.0.
was interested in cloning the configuration, and had very good expreience with backup and restore before.
made a backup of system A
tried to restore to system B
There is plenty of space on system B
.
Have now made 2 Backups of system A, neither will restore to system B
System A and System B seem to work normally otherwise just thought we could make the 2 systems identical with all settings, etc.
Based on my entirely positive experience with Backup and restore previously , it leaves me wonderng if this is a bug in 9.2.0 .
Thanks

I think I am giving up on this card. I hear they make great uncompressed composite capture cards though if I can find the cable.
Any experienc with cheap chinese TV cards ??

They seem cheap enough and last link has reviews from Linux users. I learned long ago not to trust a seller claiming "Linux Compatibility"
No scanning on TV Headend or VDR.
I also thought maybe this card needs the earlier formware ver 24 or the later "L" v36 version??

somewhere I saw where to install alternate DVB drivers in LibreELEC but could not find that now.
BTW I always thought DVB referred to non- North American TV standards but maybe I am confused.
No USB hub. I did read somewhere that these dongles needed to be used without a hub so it is on its own port.
here is the new output
I then tried several things for a channel scan and no channel scan progress at all with VDR
UPDATE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I rebooted again leaving the USB connected and here is the new dmesg
interesting the end of log
Modulation set to unsupported valueI see in PVR > Client specific > DVB > Setup there is an option for "DVB / ANSI-SCTE / NORDIG and wondering wgere this goes for ATSC channels as I am not interested in QAM at all.
There seems to be a few places where one must set options like this but not finding much of a guide other that hurried youtube videos with no explanation .
Maybe I shoud go back to TVHeadend?
the other logs don't help
I have no idea what you expect to see from this command, I only get
dmesg | paste
sorry , I ran that on wrong IP will redo in a minute on the correct machine and update this post.
My bad it was the correct machine. That is all I see
I see it is a link to the log.
what firmware is acrually missing ?
can you provide the link from that output dmesg | paste
There is no missing firmware , it is there. The firmware is never uploaded to the TV Stick. Check the three links in my second post .
The first link is the actual model I have .
The second post tells you how to extract xc3028-v27.fw from the windows driver (which I did , but that file was pre-existing on my LibeELEC install., Not missing!)
The problem is the firmware file is never uploaded to the TV stick based on troubleshooting in third link of second post
Attached is output of
udevadm monitor --property
As stated in second post nothing more happens when starting VDR or scanning for channels. There is no attempt to upload firmware.
User provided firmware needs to go into /storage/firmware/<filename> which will overlay files (and any dirs created) to /usr/lib/firmware on reboot.
I hear you say this but I can clearly see the firmware is already in /usr/lib/kernel-overlays/base/lib/firmware/ there is also a link in /var/lib/firmware that points there. The firmware appears to already be there .
I do have an extracted version of the firmware and could copy to /storage/firmware (which does not exist) but that may only confuse the issue. Obviously this firmware was installed by TVHeadend or VDR or by default.
strangely enough, my Ubuntu 16.06 kernel 4.4 will not install the firmware either. I think the firmware need be installed only once.
It seems the probelem may be with the Firmware install to the Elgato Eye TV Hybrid ATSC (Hauppauge WinTV HVR-980) from LibreELEC.
I found the following resources:
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950 - LinuxTVWiki
linux/extract_xc3028.pl at master · torvalds/linux · GitHub
I can see that the same firmware is already in /var/lib/firmware and possibly a couple of variants
xc3028-v24.fw
xc3028-v27.fw
xc3028L-v36.fw
Actually they are links there they really reside in
/usr/lib/kernel-overlays/base/lib/firmware/
My system never tries to load the firmware though as discussed on the third link running
udevadm monitor --propertyDoes not seem to show any firmware related messages when the device is connected. I then also activated the VDR back-end and started a channel scan, still no firmware.
LibreELEC 9.2.0 (latest) x86_64
Is there something hindering LibreELEC from uploading the firmware?
From what I have read the firmware version is critical to make this work.
Thanks for any help
I have an El Gato Eye TV Hybrid that lsusb identifies as 2040:6513 Hauppauge WinTV HVR-980
I was wondering if there is a guide somewhere as to what I need to get this to work in LibreELEC?
Thanks
Mark
Thanks for that . Seems like I should wait.
