  • [RPi4] Unstable Ethernet Connection

    I just installed LE 12/Omega (from download page) on a new Raspberry Pi 5. I can connect via a wired network, but that is not available in its intended location.

    I keep seeing the Invalid Key/ Input Output Error when trying to connect to my Netgear router -- immediately after OKing my passphrase. I've read through many of the discussions regarding this, some recommending files to create (for older versions) and some predicting fixes in nightly builds. So far, all I've done is update the EEprom firmware to the 4/24 version, and reboot ... a lot.

    Is there a nightly build that fixes this, or is creating the iwlwifi.conf file still the recommended solution?

    (I've been running Kodi for over a decade, currently Omega on Win11 ... with a wired connection!:o)

  • Having trouble streaming a radio source.

    I found some stuff about how to override the user agent, but I've really no idea what user agents might be appropriate for whatever subsystem Pi/LE is using (I'm one of those windows types). These didn't work:

    Is there a way to 'up' the logging, such that it would show me what's happening under the covers of this conversation?

  • Having trouble streaming a radio source.

    Apology: I do not use the full capabilities of LE, but simply use it as a blind head end to play music, and listen to the radio. This worked well, but recently, the radio streaming part has stopped working for me -- probably around the time I upgraded?

    This is the radio stream I listen to: http://kpbs.streamguys1.com/kpbs-mp3.

    And this is what I see in my log:

    I've noticed that if I paste the URL into IE, it prompts me to ask if I want to open or save an actual .mp3 -- this seems akin to the behavior in LE.

    If I paste the URL into Edge/Chrome, the stream will fire up and send me NPR goodness!

    Running on a Pi 3B+ with LibreELEC (official): 9.2.1, kernel: Linux ARM 32-bit version 4.19.106 (Can post full log on request)

    QUESTION: is there some sort of configuration setting that allows me to change behavior, such as USER AGENT, of something, so that I can once again stream the world?

    OR: should I take this up with the guys at kodi?

    Any help would be great!
