Hi, guys!

Yesterday I was thought if is possible to put an aplication to run only using swap memory.

I don't finded this answer, but in this search I found out about zram and zswap. For what I understand zram is a way to compressed memory ram in this way help system with less memory. They say this will use more CPU, but maybe is something that worth it. I also read about zswap but don't know for sure what it do.

Theres a way of enabler this things in LibreELEC?

Will make a significant difference or will be a placebo?

What will be best: zram or zswap?

I searching about this because I use another things in background of my machine and sometimes I get a buffering in local videos reproducing in Kodi. I already use swap and I think this is because some pieces of Kodi are using swap memory in this time. But I'm kinda noob and don't know for sure. I know this is not a LibreELEC issue or Kodi.

My hardware is a Raspberry Pi 3b.

Thanks!

Settings > Skin Settings > Home > Customise home menu > + (in the place you want to add) > Choose item for menu > Video Library > Playlists

I don't know about playlist, since I never used, but I think is possible too.

Maybe these 2 tutorial can help you more:

Skin Widget Setup Tutorial : Addons4Kodi

Playlists - Official Kodi Wiki

I live in a hot place and sometimes I get the warm icon. The normal temperature of my RPi is 60°.

I don't use fan, just use with sinks, because my RPi run 24/7 side my TV and fan make an irritante noise (at least what I have).

What I learn using the Pi is that heavy things like some skins make this, so if you understand the limitations of you (and mine) device and not try heavy things you can running without problem.

can it work in LibreELEC ?

Yes! Here how access: Raspberry Pi Config.txt [LibreELEC.wiki]

But the other guys are correct in ask "why"

You guys are correct. I didn't know that. I tested here rename a file with One Punch Man S02E09 Edjalmo and Kodi found info. Sorry!

FeFiFoFum forcing refresh work?

I think the problem is with filename.

Your episode 09 has this name "The Ultimate Dilemma", but in TVDB the name is "The Troubles of the Stronges".

I think if you rename your episode like is in TVDB will solve this.

I personally use XEM scraper for animes, because with it I can use AniDB informations, that I think is more good for animes.

TVDB and AniDb has different names for some episodes. Check here TVDB and AniDB.

Check if this helps Library can't find info for some movies: "No information found for item"

This started to happend after switch HDMI cable?

I know that you said that already tried with a new HDMI cable. So the only thing I have to say is check HDMI cable version, because only from 1.0 version works with CEC.

Hi!

I have LE 9.0.2 Generic/x86_64 and Thoradia repo ver.9.0, how can install last version 9.1 to upgrade sonarr/bazarr/etc

Thanks!

This is to be done automatically!

Checking GitHub page I can see a 9.1 version for Generic/x86_64. I don't know why you don't get this update.

I assume that automatically updates of add-on is enabled, right?!

thoradia can you look at this?

Meanwhile you can update Sonarr/Radarr in their own interfaces by going to System > Updates > Install latest

I think Bazarr has a similar path to update.

I kinda solved this by enabling swap memory.

I know this is not a solution, is more like an workaround, but is working for me!

There's a [How to] here explaining how to enable.

You are correct Iridium , but I assumed (and he said) that the filenames and the folders was named correct, because I had this problem before (and with RARBG files too). With Use video tags enabled Kodi use tags presents in the file instead of the filename, and this files have this tags (you can see this tags using a software like MediaInfo).

With my issue, logs showed the name of the tag instead of the filename.

I had one similar problem with this recently.

My problem was that the Use video tags was enabled. With this option enabled Kodi use information that exists of the media info of the file (if it exist) and not the filename.

I disabled, updated library and the movies was added again.

For disabled (if yours are enabled) you need go to Settings > Media > (enable advanced mode) > Videos > Use video tags

As far as I know RPi can't play x265, 10bits or 4k files.

Here a guy said that it can play x265 if is 720p, but I never test.

I have a similar issue with termometer icon when I use anothers skins than default's Kodi.

For what I noticed this is because this other skins use more CPU, which makes RPi to heat!

But from what I read the quality of sd card and power supply influence this too.

Disable this in CEC option, like Iridium said!

Some apps send notifications that turn on TV if this options are enabled.

Go to Settings > System > Input > Peripherals > CEC Adapter

Disabled Switch source to this device on startup and put in "none" Devices to power on during startup.

I tried this, but looks like the file is protected somehow. My LibreELEC installation is brand new on a RPi3.

Nano says:

[ File '/etc/swap.conf' is unwritable ]

You have to edit /storage/.config/swap.conf and not /etc/swap.conf

I understand the limitations!

Unfortunately I don't know nothing about Woltlab things.

When will Amlogic/arm for 9.0 be updated? I see the others were updated 4 days ago and it's been 3 months since the last update for Amlogic/arm. Any reason for the delay?

I don't know why Thoradia don't updated. But if the apps you use work with releases you can update they by yourself.

Radarr/Sonarr example: go to System > Updates > Install latest

You can see if the apps work with releases or not here: Home · thoradia/LibreELEC.tv Wiki · GitHub

Edit: I don't no for sure if all apps that work with releases you can update by yourself, but I know that some you can.

Hello, guys!

I have 3 things to suggest for forum.

1 - When I browse by threads here the site, sometimes I see a "read the forum rules".

It would not be a good thing to put them in a more easily accessible place.

Look at the forum's home. Where is forum rules?

2 - Another good thing I notice is [How to], there some here. Isn't a good thing to create a section for them? For a more easy access (and for organization).

3 - In other forums that I use there is a way the thread creator marks a response as the best answer, the solution. I think this helps a lot someone who has a problem and is looking for an answer.

Examples:

• The green check flag in Stack Over Flow linux - How to copy a specific file in a folder using terminal - Stack Overflow.
• Put the message in top of thread with a solved: Osmc freezing - Raspberry Pi - OSMC Forums

Cheers and thanks for the great work
