  • External HD (USB3) not mounted

    Quote from chewitt

    If restart = cold start then autostart.sh will be run. If restart = wake from suspend it will not be run, because autostart is a boot script and waking a suspended system is not boot. Your current script forces the entire boot process to stall for 5 secs. It would be better to (background)& the mount task so that boot can continue normally. You can look at using systemd .power functions in /storage/.config/system.d/ to schedule actions around system suspend and wake events.

    Hi chewitt, thanks a lot for explaining. Did not know that restart is not shutdown and start. Sometimes things are not as they look like...

    I will try the system. d solution or just not use restart.

  • External HD (USB3) not mounted

    I tried this:

    /storage/.config/autostart.sh:

    #!/bin/sh

    sleep 5;

    mount /dev/sda2 /var/media/"Seagate Backup Plus"

    but it does not work on restart, just on start.

    After restart the mount command gives:

    mount: mounting /dev/sda2 on /var/media/Seagate Backup Plus failed: No such file or directory

    HD spinning and LEDS are on.

    mount does not list /dev/sda2.

    Plugging USB out and in will mount the HD.

  • H264 Mpeg-4 Videos not playing

    Hi all,

    I cannot play these Videos, there is no error message. Using Libreelec with Kodi 18.1 LEIA on Raspi 3B+

    Tried to find some hints in the debug log. Thats not easy as I only know how to access the log with a log viewer addon... The logs reports unspecified errors opening the video file.

    Maybe there is a codec missing?

    Maybe this is a known issue and you can help me?

    thanks, E.
