Code

systemctl stop kodi
mv /storage/.kodi /storage/.kodi-old
systemctl start kodi

^ Those commands will give you a fresh/clean Kodi install to experiment with. To revert, stop Kodi again and rename the old folder back to /storage/.kodi again and things will run as before. There is generally no need to do a full reinstall.

Hi again, wanted to test this because I think there is something else going on in the system when I have tried to get the game part to work and I have had to change some parameters via SSH which I think may have caused it. My only question is, what does the code look like when you change back to "mv /storage/.kodi /storage/.kodi-old"? And the new one I am working on now, can I rename it to "mv /storage/.kodi /storage/.kodi-new" if I want to work with it in my free time when the wife will go crazy when she comes home and wants to watch a movie and I haven't had time to finish the new one? Kind regards 469

Thanks, i think i solved it. When i make a local m3u file it not get stuck. So it could be something with my mobile network that it have that cause problems to update or something else. Thanks and have a Happy New new year from Sweden

Ahaa.... Thanks a lot. But you mean that if i ssh that, it will make a fresh kodi after a reboot or? Or what happens when i send that lines? And what do you think of my equipment, are they good enough?

Hi, I wonder if resetting Kodi/Libreelec inside Kodi is as good as reinstalling? I wonder because I want to avoid having to take out the computer that is there and then works as a server. It currently has the latest version (LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-12.0.1). I want to try this because it gets stuck all the time for about 5-10 minutes every time you stop a channel on Simple IPTV or a movie/series, and then start something new. Unfortunately, I can't find anything about this problem, so I think it's something wrong with the system. Best regards 2469

Systeminformation:

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950/PCIe/SSE2
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz
RAM: 8gb

Ok, I contacted you earlier in this thread regarding my PC with Libreelec on, where I wanted the power button to restart instead of shutting down. It's fixed as long as Kodi runs smoothly, but when Kodi hangs, the button doesn't work as intended. Kind regards, Thore

So is it possible to make the button to force restart as well?

The default Estuary skin is probably the best optimised one.

Hello again you supersupporter:) Do you have any idea why the reboot button work when kodi is up and running, but now when Kodi gets stuck it doesn't? However, rebooting via SSH works. Strange then reboot that I entered instead of shutdown should do the same thing as I do via SSH, right?

Thanks, almost suspected it...

Yes.

YEEEEES.... THANK YOU. That is the solution i hav been looking for so long. It works great:). One last thing, can you recommend a lightweight skin though my Aeon nox feels to heavy for my PC? Take care

Superthanks, one last question. Is it possible to change "<power>shutdown</power>" --> "<power>reboot</power>" without quotes instead? Just wondering, because when it hangs and I'm not home, I want my wife to be able to just click the power button for it to come out of its mode and reboot. Because today, I get via a computer or mobile on my local network and SSH to take it out of its locked state. Best regards, Thore/Sweden

Thanks, that is what i use to do. But I wasn't sure if you could create a file that the system uses while it's running. But since it doesn't exist, it should be enough to restart the system for it to see it, right?

Quote from chewitt

If the file doesn't exist, create it with the "nano" text editor over SSH.

Ok, but can i create a file on my computer and then transfer it with ftp? I can access the folders via Filezilla...

Try this at /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml:

Code

<keymap>
    <global>
        <keyboard>
            <power>shutdown</power>
        </keyboard>
    </global>
</keymap>

Hello, do this still work, because i do not have that file there? I have a PC with the Generic Legacy 12.0.1, and i want that solution as well. Take care/Thore

I would connect the RPi4 directly to the 'server' PC to isolate the problem. If throughput is better, the slowdown is caused by things you connect between them.

Ok... Thanks. Have a nice weekend

SMB clients default connect at SMBv2 and if possible then upgrade the connection to SMBv3 so if you want to test SMBv1 you need to configured min/max SMBv1. Setting min SMBv1 and max SMBv3 results in the same SMBv2 > 3 behaviour. Most hardware will perform best with SMBv3 and my devices are configured identically against a NAS that no longer supports SMBv1 connections. If your 'server' device still supports SMBv1 (might need config forcing to allow it) there's no harm in testing.

Hi and thanks for your help. My setup is a Pc with LE generic with all my HDD connected via Sata, and it is connected through a switch to the router. Then my other pc is connected diretly to the router, and when i have a Rpi 4 instead of the pc LE with the same LAN wire i get 20-30mb instead of the 10 i have now. So what i understand it will not make any difference if i switch to smb1 as the lowest. And i got high speed from internet(100-200mb), so the ethernetcard is working that way but not via LAN. I need to see if i can find more info/guides on the web. Thanks my friend for taking your time to help all noobs here.

I see transfers around ~112MB/s from an RPi5 with nvme storage.

I see transfers around ~33MB/s on an elderly Amlogic S905 box with emmc storage.

I see transfers around ~12MB/s on another Amlogic board booted from USB storage.

All three have gigabit NICs, but all three internally wire them up differently and storage media can have a large impact too.

Hi again, after a lot of web searching it seems that it might have to do with what SMB choices you have in Kodi. I have SMB 2 as the lowest and SMB 3 as the highest, do you think it is a solution if I change to SMB 1 as the lowest? Dare I change, don't want to destroy something I can't restore? Kind regards, Thore from Sweden

Hmm... I just plug the same cable that i have on the RPi4, so the problem is the PC. I have to search after more solution online i think.... Thanks anyway.

The "ethtool -h" command will spit out all the possible options, but the "100Mb" NIC is running at 1000Mb/s full duplex so the NIC is working correctly at full speed. Note that 1000Mb/s is not the same as 100MB (Mb vs MB).

Ok and thanks for the fast reply. Before I installed LE on my PC, I ran LE on an RPi4 where I had a local internet speed of approx. 20mb/s. But after the change, it dropped to about 11mb. So I keep looking for the bottleneck…
