Hi,

I have the problem of low-end tablets and phones not able to transcode H265 videos.

Since RPI4 is more than capable to deal with H265 videos, is it possible to enable that on the Kodi WebInterface so I can play the videos on my tablets and phones?

When there would be an option to use fqdn instead of an IP address? In my country, the IPs are changing every week and its awful!

If i leave it with local database, it works, but as soon as I try to switch to MariaDB it starts hiccupping(cannot play video even local to SD card and cannot set movie library)

hastebin - xoradenomo (kodi.tv) Log from when I play local video while having setup maria DB, it reboots at the end of the file

If i set it to local DB instead, everything works perfectly

I deleted the repos and the addons, i see some oranges left (scripts), but cannot find them to remove them.

But the logs are more complete now with logging turned on

hastebin - xokabujeva (kodi.tv)

I did a quit fresh new installation:

hastebin - fuxabiyiza (kodi.tv)

but the result is exactly the same at the end of the log, Kodi just crashed

No problem will remove them, they not being used anyway. And will post the logs again in debug mode ? Would that suffice to get some help on my problem ?

Here is the full log from today, for obvious stupid reason i have lost the one from last night. Only change I have made is to swap the kodi user with the DB root one just to amuse myself with a desperate try, but made no change.

About the caching, I will remove it just for the test. I need it, because I have a VPN tunnel to NAS and the internet connection is not the best everywhere, so I do the caching if I leave the player on, to download some portion of the media while I am doing something else.

To provide additional info, the MariaDB is on Docker container on my docker-host machine, I have tested it and I have connection from another device on the same VLAN as Kodi. I personally exclude the network connectivity issue.

Also tried to create manually 'videodb119' as I saw the logs it could not found it, but that also did not solve the issue.

Hello I have two issues when trying to switch to MariaDB

First here is my config

<advancedsettings>
        <cache>
                <buffermode>4</buffermode>
                <memorysize>1137704960</memorysize>
                <readfactor>6</readfactor>
                <curlclienttimeout>10</curlclienttimeout>
                <curllowspeedtime>10</curllowspeedtime>
        </cache>
        <videodatabase>
                <type>mysql</type>
                <host>10.0.20.10</host>
                <port>61033</port>
                <user>kodi</user>
                <pass>kodi</pass>
                <name>videodb</name>
        </videodatabase>
        <videolibrary>
                <importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>
                <importresumepoint>true</importresumepoint>
                <importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>
        </videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>

First issue:

When I switch the advancedsettings as expected my library is empty, also the content of my libraries is set to None and I have to set them again.

Is from scenario:

1. Kodi boots up

2. Navigate to settings -> Media -> Videos -> Library 1 -> Set Content -> Movies -> OK

Expected Result:

The media library content to be set and to be indexed

Observed:

Media library content is not set, its None again, basically nothing happens, no scan, nothing

Log: Logs while setting library content - Pastebin.com

Second Issue:

When switched the advanced settings without setting library content i try to open any movie and Kodi crashes

1. Kodi boots up

2. Navigate to -> Settings -> Media -> Videos -> Library Movies -> Open movie folder -> Select MKV file -> Kodi crashes to reboot

Expected:
Movie to play

Observed:

Kodi reboots

Any help or does someone observe this behavior as well ?

System - Raspberry Pi 4 - 4GB

EDIT: If i revert to original advancedsettings.xml, everything goes back to normal.

Hello,

I have this issue, that my server has 3 network interfaces. For some reason, the web interface(and API) is only accessible only through eth0.

I am looking for the configuration files and how I could allow access to it through all my NICs.

Could someone help ?

Hello,

I have VPN tunnel to my home network, so I can watch my media from anywhere. Recently I encountered an issue, which will be hard to describe...

Long story short: when connected to VPN I can't connect to my Raspberry Pi 4 from local network.

For example:

LAN 1 - Home where NAS is located

LAN 2 - At my parents

Raspberry Pi 4 connects with VPN Manager to LAN 1.

I cannot SSH to my raspi from LAN2.

I presume its some Firewall or VPN client settings. Never had an issue like this with any of the rest raspies I have at use.

Can someone help to go around this?
