  • Action with SSH ?

    You can edit files via SSH by running command via SSH. You probably do not want to learn sed

    ssh root@libreelec sed -i 's/old/new/g' /storage/test.txt


    If you are about editing metadata in video files, commands depend on video format.

  • Japanese subtitles do not seem to work

    google has Mongolian and Khmer fonts under open font license. For some reason they prefer not to design their site to work on system which has Mongolian and Khmer support, if javascript is not enabled.

    Old Italic and Linear B support in subtitles was a joke.

    It might be better, if UI did not depend on single font for subtitles and could use any font that supports text in specific unicode block.

  • Empty list under "Available Versions"

    vmware workstation can start both generic-legacy and generic ovas.

    lspci shows that libreelec/linux recognizes video card as VMWare SVGA II adapter.

    Maybe configure your video card in hypervisor properly or use different virtualization software. VGA (640x480) emulation is likely not enough for the system.

    Maybe also start new topic instead of hijacking something unrelated to virtualbox.

  • strings.po

    Quote from LybsterKodi

    Sorry, whilst I'm sure that made sense to you, to me (primarily Windows) its gibberish. Any chance of a translation?

    .po files are gettext translation files. You can edit them on Windows with poedit. You can find that program on google. I don't want to put links to external third party sites on forum.

    Example of gettext is below.

    ----

    msgid "Favourites"
    msgstr "Favoritter"

    ---
    You are supposed to edit only msgstr part. msgid is base text. Changing msgid in strings.po does nothing unless you want to spend your time changing original text and then updating every strings.po file to match your changes in source files. Gettext translations are not supposed to be managed that way. They have whole toolkit for extracting strings from sources and updating .po file with string changes.

    Checked how stuff looks like on Kodi/Libreelec and my understanding of gettext is bit outdated. Kodi genz brainiacs decided to go with uncompiled translations.

  • strings.po

    Quote from LybsterKodi

    I'm using Favourites to list the series currently being watched (right now: Robin's Nest, The Saint, Only Fools and Horses, Homeland). Itis doing what I want and I thought I'd change "Favourites" to "Watching". No problem with Home.xml but strings.po in the skin (eg "Add to Favourites") is giving me trouble. I can edit strings.po with Notepad++ but a) I end up with a much larger file (16kb -> 553 kb) and b) it doesn't work.

    It seems to work if I edit strings.po in the Kodi system rather than the skin. I don't want to do this because of implications for upgrading.

    .po files are plaintext source files used in translations. Any normal gettext enabled app will be reading .mo files.

    Recompile mo file after editing po.

    msgfmt -o strings.mo -c strings.po

    There are dedicated .po file editors on this planet.

    If your text is coming from US English interface, you can't change it by updating .po/.mo. US English is normally base language.

    Official:Forum rules/Banned add-ons - Official Kodi Wiki

    "Pirated content" add-ons, websites, and services typically do not include the following (to be determined on a case-by-case basis if necessary):

    ...

    B. The add-on has the potential to access pirated content, but is potentially useful for downloading legal content as well. [For example, an add-on that downloads torrents is not, itself, a problem, since a torrent can cover a wide variety content, including legally distributed videos.]


    From what I've seen on forum LibreElec dev consider torrent apps for their pirating usage and do not take other uses into account. Their policy is more strict than Kodi's one.

  • High CPU Load after Upadte to 12.0

    Quote from Khol

    Intend to go back to 11.06 by Sunday latest via a fresh installation but have to get my hands on a Windows PC first as I have seen, that the image creator is currently not available for Linux.

    Linux includes "disk image writer" in base build. See dd for CLI or gnome disk image writer (right click on .img or .iso).
