★ Known Incompatible SSDs ★
The following SSDs have been reported to show compatibility issues with Raspberry Pi 5:

• ....
• Any other SSDs that use SMI2263XT, SMI2263EN, MAP1202, or Phison series controllers

"The Silicon Power UD90 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on May 20th, 2022. It is available in capacities ranging from 250 GB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 1 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Silicon Power UD90 interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5021-E21T from Phison,"

OP told that he researched things, but it seems like he missed something. Both ElectroCookie and Pironman advise against Phison based NVME drives.

RPI imager has special option for making NVME bootable on RPI5. Flash sd card, boot from it and your device will try nvme first on next boot.

You might also want to enable pci-e v3 on nvme cause it does not do that by default.

Maybe just get new SSD and install fresh? If you do not like new version, you just put old SSD back.

No idea if there are schema differences between v10 and v12 databases. Maybe devs can tell that.

Not official Raspberry fan, but. Screenshot from sales page.

At 5 volt it was the noisiest thing in the room. At 3.3v fan was still spinning and less noisy.

Trixie version does not link to imagecache/12 image. That ticket is for Chrome. I am normally on Firefox and Chromium is only alternative browser. That ticket is probably about "Play" button in broadcast details. It generates m3u8 playlist in Firefox and tries to play in browser on Chromium. My problem is about "Watch TV" launched from top right menu in web ui.

I guess I'll wait to see if situation improves over time. Maybe Android client support and integration with Jellyfin improve.

I am comparing tvheadend server (4.3-2528) addon on libreelec and tvheadend (4.3-2471) on raspberry os trixie version. libreelec one works with TVHplayer, but can't start live tv player and got broken images in web ui. trixie package can start live tv player and has no broken images, but breaks tvhplayer 3.5, has unstable channel list and tends to refuse connection or crash.

Any reason why libreelec version can't start live tv player in webui and got broken imagecache image links? Tried turning on imagecache after seeing broken url. No difference.

Trying to start live tv player resets other active streams (for example kodi tv client stops playing same or other channel on tv). Setup allows parallel streams as I can run different channels on VLC and tvhplayer at the same time.

If I have to enable debug or dig some logs, it can be done.

libreelec is setup on raspberry pi4 and dtb tv hat

trixie is on rpi5, pironman 5 nvme and dtb tv hat. tvhplayer just needed plain authentication support in tvheadend to work.

Delay kodi startup for at least 40 seconds instead of default 10. Raspberry on wireless network tries to get repository information before network is up and its clock is set.

For all to work correctly I would still have to see 12.0 update channel in manual update process instead of empty list.

Set delay to more than 10 seconds and rebooted. Now I could select update channel in manual update.

Will flash sd card with 12.2.

Ignore comments about samba. Just noticed that selector is on by default in setup.

Libreelec SD card setup using Raspberry Pi imager. They are still on 12.0.2 image. I know that I can manually go to 12.2, but I want to see normal update working. Network is on wifi. DNS is provided by caching dns on router and google dns.

If update is set to manual, release and available versions lists are empty. I haven't seen automatic update kick yet.

Also I did not ask to enable Samba during setup and it is enabled.

Do I have to delay kodi startup for update to fetch release information after network is up and ntp sets up clock?

OP did not tell, if they are using Jellyfin or Homerun. You can get dumb NAS box and then regret it as its CPU can't handle transcoding and case does not have option for second GPU.

Lots of questions to answer when selecting or building NAS.

NAS setup would also depend if user wants to run network media server on libreelec or on nas.

Your ssd should be automatically mounted in /media directory.

/storage/8tb-ssd is not standard libreelec directory and it would exist on /storage only if some of your actions created it. That directory does not contain librelec system data. It can contain only your personal data files and maybe indexing information that librelec created when indexing those files.

If I were you, I would be moving all /storage/8tb-ssd data into dedicated directory on 8TB SSD. It is relatively easy to do, if system utils addon is installed. If you never needed to install that addon, you probably won't be able to add it with full /storage and only Unix CLI commands can be used to move stuff out.

64GB SD card won't be enough, if you continue filling up /storage/8tb-ssd while thinking that you are writing to 8TB device.

Linux du command calculates disk usage. If you have Libreelec system utils installed, you also have mc graphical UI instead of shell CLI.

du -xhs -d 1 /storage

If you have SMB enabled, you can access logs directory over windows network too.

reduce your logs and housekeep existing logs

or find what is using filesystem.

First step in file system capacity problem is to figure out what is using it and only then look for appropriate action.

"Driver does not support the 0x2572 PCI ID."

Use different video card or try using legacy version.

Basically, I've been using plex on my NAS to allow me to watch media on the go, but they are putting the price up, so I would like a cheaper (ideally free) option.

Main part of NAS cost is hardware kit and storage devices. Kodi/Libreelec is stuff that you attach to your tv. Jellyfin and NAS are things attached to your network. You can put your Jellyfin server on your media kit next to tv or on your NAS kit in your basement. Libreelec does not have NAS functions for storage management and resilience. If you are looking for your qnas replacement, you are on wrong forum.

Sorry to revive this.

I have my media on a QNAP NAS, and I know I can run jellyfin directly on there, but it seems like it will be a real pain.

Is it possible to run jellyfin on LibreElec, and point it at the media on the NAS, and to then be able to use a jellyfin app on AppleTV or similar to be able to watch those videos from a remote location?

Mount your NAS share on Libreelec and Jellyfin addon on Libreelec will see your media.

If you install Kodi package on Ubuntu, you will have other solution for missing LVM support on Libreelec as Ubuntu can work with LVM.
