Same issue here. I have a 2GB RPi4 with official case, PSU and HDMI cable. Clean install, room temperature is 20c and the Rpi4 idles at 70c and goes up to 75c during video playback.
The pi 4 temps are a known issue that they’re trying to fix. For the time being it might be wise to get the open air acrylic case with a fan. My pi 4 is stable under mild/moderate loads and hasn’t jumped past 40.5 in a house that is just under that temp wise. Doesn’t even take anything of note for a fan, either.
Display MoreI already have in my saloon a BIG computer for Kodi only (windows version) and I want to make a small one with a Raspberry 4 and LibreElec
Is it possible to plug 2 external 2.5 HDD on USB3 ports (1 per USB port) ?
Will I need external alimentation for each HDD or a simple SATA to USB3.0 wire is enough ?
Also can HDD be NTFS formated ? (especially for big movies with more than 4gb file)
Thanks in advance.
Bonne journée à tous !
External housing for drives is a relatively low cost expense and it’s what I’ve done to connect to add a third drive to my 2-drive NAS, I think it was under $20 Canadian for one, has it’s own power and works like a dream! That way you can have as many drives as you want. A powered USB hub would be another option, but I’m someone who is anxious about having a drive just sitting out naked, too.

Can you add plex media server (native) to the repository? with others repositories does not work on my Raspberry Pi 4
Thanks for everything , you do a great job
how does it otherwise run on the Pi4? I am debating on running the test version but I’m hoping to see some confirmed use cases before I dump in a ton of time.
Before I nuke my current instal, does this work on the pi 4B?
Hi all,
I'm just wondering if it's possible or even feasible to set up my Pi 3 running Libreelec as a VPN router? There are some things I need to unblock via GeoRestrictions that I would like to use my Pi for, I know if I installed a basic OS like Rasbpian it wouldn't be an issue, but is it possible to do this under Libreelec?
I have NordVPN and I simply want to serve access to the Pi via the Wifi chip for my Apple TV to connect to as it has no VPN system built in.
Thanks in advance.
So first, thanks for all these amazing plugins! They are working like a dream on my Pi 3, but I'm having some difficulties with Sonarr
It's working to add things into Transmission just fine, but it's stuck only in the default download directory. When a download finished, I see this error:
Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr: /volume2/Volume_2/downloads/*********
I don't know the user account Sonarr is running on my Pi or how to change it, I've tried to find the info but I can't seem to figure it out.
These are downloading files onto my Synology NAS, but it seems like it's not possible for Sonarr to move the files due to permissions, I have a specific account setup on my NAS but I don't know where to go from here.
Can someone help me to resolve this? I presume Sonarr defaults to user root (i got an error there and Radarr I think warning me about running as Root) but I just can't figure out how to change it.
I presume I'll also need to create a user account on my Pi that matches the login information.... that said, I do have the shares mounted with those correct positions, so I'm a little confused, they seem to pulling from the shared directory on the NAS rather than the actual Pi mounted directories.
I'm running Transmission via Libreelec on my Pi 3 and I'm struggling, it seems that the web interface for transmission really can't handle when I'm downloading 3ish+ MB /s files, I can often load the web interface but it almost always hangs up and stalls out constantly, making any management nigh impossible.
What I'm trying to figure out is if I would see any benefit by switching the install over to my 3B+ that I just got, it doesn't really matter which I use as my goal was for Emulation on one of the units.
And just to confirm a distro I was downloading at about 4 MB/s just finished and I'm no longer experiencing hangs in my connection, so it's clearly something impacting the download speed.
Generally what I will do is download the files to my gigbit enabled network NAS, some files download directly to an attached hard drive, but I want to save that for specific downloads, and not everything as that's just a general external HD and I have specific NAS drives set up in my NAS unit.
The concern I have about using the 3B+ is that I seem to be struggling to get full download speeds, and I'm trying to address that but I don't see an easy solution.
I'd rather just keep things as they are on my 3B as I have libreelec working perfectly with 3D ISO files I've taken from my 3D blus, and I don't really want to rock the boat too much.
Also, thank you for all the work you do Thoradia!
Okay, after a bit of investigation and testing I can add more specificity to things.
Once the overall transfer speeds in transmission hit over 3MBs, transmission basically locks up. It becomes unusable and impossible to connect in any way.
The strange thing is that even at its base 100 Ethernet speeds, it shouldn’t have issues even writing to the NAS, but maybe I’m wrong here and that’s the bottleneck? If so, I’d say I could use my 3B + but I seem to be suffering with the same serious limited download speeds that some users seem to fight with.
Would you, or anyone else, think I’d see a benefit to running out and getting a gigabit USB Ethernet adapter? Is it possible the SDHC card is causing a bottleneck? My NAS is connected via a gigabit connection and the way things are setup is that everything is connected via an unmanaged switch coming straight off of my main router’s gigabit Port.
Thanks in advance.
I may have solved my own issue, I'm going to keep an eye on it.
I got thinking about Docker and noticed that a lot of people were using it for PiHole and I realized that's why I had it, although I'm not using it on the device.
So I removed Docker and all the stuff that depended on it, and it does not seem like I'm having transmission issues anymore. I'll monitor it and post back here if I run into issues again or if anything dies on me.
So I've been having some real issues with transmission hanging. It always runs, and it still seems to be working to a degree, but I've been having some hangs and crashes on my system.
When I set a tail on kodi.log file I see this pop up constantly:
Apr 03 16:01:10 LibreELEC systemd[1]: transmission.service: Service RestartSec=10s expired, scheduling restart.

I found this link:
LibreELEC Testbuilds for x86_64 (Kodi 18.0)
with the following comment:
Seems to be related to this issue: Package updates by lrusak · Pull Request #1452 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
As a work around for anyone else experiencing issues with docker. Add this volume to the container:
Code-v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro
But uh - I don't know how to add that to the container, I ran it straight from docker and got this:
LibreELEC:~ # docker -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro
Docker version 18.09.1, build 18.09.1Thanks, as always, in advance.
Question, I have Transmission and OpenVPN running through Kodi, I presume if I kill Kodi to launch Steamlink, will this kill my VPN as well?
Thanks so much for the reply, I went back to fps 23 and for whatever reason it's working fine now.
I deeply apologize for wasting everyone's time, but I guess if it takes just making a post to solve the issue, I guess that's something? So.... thanks! And again, sorry..
I did enable the service. the issue I have now, which isn't really an issue it seems, is that it's default mounted at boot, so I think I can hold off on this until such time that it doesn't mount at boot, I'll return then.
That said, I did enable the mount and the status.... I can't remember the error it returned at this point.
One bit to update, I forced the resolution to 24fps and now I get this:
state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (32) 3D FP RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 24.00Hz, progressive
But my Pi 3 stutters and is insanely choppy, it’s unwatchable.
I switched to an MKV (1080p, HD audio) and that seems okay but if I switch to a 4K file that’s 1/3 the size of the 3D iso (stored on a samba share) it caused the Pi to hang and simply freeze. Forced me to do a hard reboot as I couldn’t log in via ssh. And another, both to confirm work on my Apple TV 4 (non 4K), cause Kodi to crash. Trying the playback of the 1st movie again runs, but with display corruption. This isn’t absolutely necessary to play them back, but I don’t understand why it doesn’t work
I am running 9.0.1 just for clarification
Hi everyone.
I have everything set up and running pretty well on my Pi 3B but I’m unsure of one thing
I have enable full HD HDMI modes for stereoscopic 3D but when playing a 3D ISO file, tvservice -s returns the following
[HDMI CEA (16) 3D T&B RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz, progressiveDoes this mean I’m getting full 3D? The T&B seems to be confusing, I assumed I’d get a response similar to this from the Kodi forums:
state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (32) 3D FP RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 23.98Hz, progressive Am I doing something wrong? I know the iso is the full thing so I’m lost.
Thanks.
Hi all,
posted yesterday with a similar issue, I'm just trying to figure out how to get the script working.
I am able to do this:
mount -t cifs -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD,rw,vers=1.0 //192.168.1.3/Volume_1 /var/media/mnt/Volume_1
mount -t cifs -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD,rw,vers=1.0 //192.168.1.3/Volume_2 /var/media/mnt/Volume_2These mount find. They SEEM to survive a reboot, as well.
But I don't want to run into issues so I tried to create the necessary files.
But when I created those files, here's the first code:
[Unit]
Description=cifs mount script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service
[Mount]
What=//192.168.1.3/Volume_1
Where=/storage/Volume_1
Options=username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD,rw,version=1.0
Type=cifs
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
I could not get it to work. Is it because I had previously mounted the share? It seemed to delete the folder I made for Volume_1, unfortunately.
I've been working on this stuff, and trying to get things working on a Pi1 for far too long, and my brain is fried - again. I'm at the home stretch and would love any help.
Thanks.
So
So
First I’m stupid.
I needed to make one tiny modification.
I guess in LibreELEC, at least the current version on my pi, “Vers” isn’t sufficient. Nope. Needs to be “version” and that seems to have solved the issue.
Alas it seems I need to create all the other files for their own unique shares.
Or is it possible to do everything in a single file? Can I mount the various folders there?
And can someone explain why “vers” didn’t work but “version” did? I followed the wiki to the letter.
Hi everyone,
So I'm hitting a wall here. I've tried modifying my script to include versions 1, 2, not adding a version to no avail.
I'm simply trying to default mount my share, that's it. It should be easy, but it's not.
So I've tried the following scripts to mount into a file:
# This is a sample service script to mount CIFS/SAMBA shares.
# Please read carefully the comments in this file. For production usage
# you can remove all comments (lines beginning with "#") from this file.
[Unit]
# The description should be used to explain what this servicefile is for
Description=cifs mount script
# if we do network mounts like here we *require* 'network-online.service'
# which checks if the network is online
Requires=network-online.service
# our scripts must start *after* 'network-online.service', on timeout and if
# 'network-online.service' fails we can not mount and this scripts fails too
After=network-online.service
# usually we mount networks shares because we want they avaible *before* XBMC starts.
# so XBMC has access to this mounts from beginning. Note: this slows down the boot!
Before=kodi.service
[Mount]
# The share we want mount
What=//192.168.1.3/Volume_1
# Where we want mount this share
Where=/storage/files
# Any options you usually use with the "-o" parameter in the mount command
Options=username=MYUSERNAME,password=MYPASS
# filesystem type
Type=cifs
[Install]
# The target is used by 'systemctl enable <name_of_this_file.mount>' to link
# this service to a runlevel for starting on boot. usually 'multi-user.target'
# is ok here.
WantedBy=multi-user.target
# Important:
# this file must be renamed to <mountpoint>.mount where <mountpoint>, is the FULL path
# where the share will be mounted but slashes "/" MUST BE REPLACED with dashes "-" with .mount
# as extension.
# This means, if we want mount to "/storage/music2" (see above "Where=/storage/music2")
# then this file must be renamed to 'storage-music2.mount' and can be enabled via ssh with the
# command 'systemctl enable storage-music2.mount'or
[Unit]
Description=cifs mount script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service
[Mount]
What=//192.168.1.3/Volume_1
Where=/storage/files
Options=username=MYUSERNAME,password=MYPASSWORD,rw,vers=2.1
Type=cifs
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.targetYet if I connect using smbclient -U MYUSERNAME //192.168.1.3/Volume_1
I can connect with no issues, browse and such.
I'm able to connect a wide range of shares directly in libreelec without issue as well.
But I'm at a loss as to what's going wrong, when I try to test things out on that mount, I get this error
● storage-torrents.mount - cifs mount script
Loaded: loaded (/storage/.config/system.d/storage-files.mount; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)

Where: /storage/files
What: //192.168.1.3/Volume_1I have very few hairs left to yank out.
thanks.
