OK, so a very helpful user PM'd me on here and pointed me in the right direction.

This file:

LibreELEC.tv/proftpd.start at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

Is what is overwriting the permissions. You can go in here and comment out the umask part and that will stop it overwriting the umask.

This allowed me to set the Umask to whatever I wanted, however I believe when the software gets updated, this file will be rewritten and I'll lose this fix.

My issue actually turned out to be an issue with LFTP which I resolved, so I won't be going any further with this. I just wanted to highlight it as it's obviously going to be an issue for others who want to use advanced proftpd settings.

Hi,

Sorry to bump a thread, but could anyone maybe point me towards the person who made the add on for Kodi. Unlike the other thread I have where the resolution won't switch, I literally can't work around this one. I've my PI4 ready to go and haven't been able to watch anything on it yet...

Thanks for any replies.

Hi,

I need to change some settings in the proftpd config file, as they aren't configurable on the UI through Kodi. I want to set Umask to "0 0", but the UI only allows configuration of the first parameter.

This is easily achieved over SSH, but on reboot, the config file gets overwritten again. I've tried setting the file as read only, but no joy.

Does anyone know what's causing this behavior and how to resolve it?

Thanks.

Hi,

For my setup to work, I need Kodi to change from 4k back to 1080p when the source changes. I've set the resolution to 1080p, then when playing a 4K movie it automatically switches to 2160p. However, when I use the "TV" mode to play an IPTV 1080p stream, the resolution won't change back to 1080p. It sticks to 2160p.

I have change refresh rate set to on stop/start (if this matters).

What am I missing?

Thanks for the clarification tokul.

Oh, I guess I'm getting confused somewhere. How am I able to connect and browse and edit the file system with FTP software?

Is it possible to install proftpd on Libreelec instead? I already have a config file for it, so might be the easiest option.

EDIT: OK, so I'm so used to doing everything over the command line, I never thought to actually try and just use Kodi. Kodi has an option to install and configure ProFtpd from the UI. So I set this up and all is fine

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Sorry if this is covered in the wiki somewhere, I've been searching and came up blank.

On my previous OSMC install, I configured the FTP server so I could make it secure and chroot the user to only be able to access the media files. I need to do this as I will be opening it to external access and need it to be as relatively safe as possible.

For the life of me, I cannot find any information on what SFTP server LiberElec uses. Can someone link me to the wiki with information on it if it exists.

Thanks for any help!
