  • libreelec auto shutdown at LAN lost?

    2469

    Although it is not exactly what you are looking for, it may help you find the solution. I try to reboot a remote TV Box when it loses internet connection in the following way:

    cron command:

    # check every hour

    10 */1 * * * /storage/.config/reboot_noip.sh

    script /storage/.config/reboot_noip.sh:

    #!/usr/bin/env sh

    IP=$(curl -s checkip.amazonaws.com)

    A=`echo "$IP" | awk '/^([0-9]{1,3}[.]){3}([0-9]{1,3})$/{print $1}'`

    if [ -z $A ]

    then

      # echo "not ok"

      reboot

      sleep 15s

    exit 1

    fi

    # echo "okay"

    exit 0

    maybe some expert can give us better alternatives

  • [HD-Idle Add-on] Works Once Per Boot

    Anode

    It is difficult to have an explanation for your problem because you tell us almost nothing. So, I will explain what I do and I assure you that it works perfectly:

    My system consists of three drives, 'sda' is the LE drive, and 'sdb' and 'sdc' are my USB storage drives, in these conditions I run the following commands in /storage/.config/autostart.sh :

    /storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.system-tools/bin/hd-idle -a sdb -i 300 -l /storage/hd-idle.log

    /storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.system-tools/bin/hd-idle -a sdc -i 300 -l /storage/hd-idle.log

  • TVHeadend & Windows-compatible filenames

    For two and a half years I have a self-powered usb 3.0 hub running that powers a 5TB hard drive and six months ago I added a second 5TB hard drive, it also powers some tuners. Well, I have no problem. What is the secret?:

    (1) The hub is connected to an i5 mini PC with LibreELEC 9.2.6 that works as a server 24/7 and is never turned off even though it automatically restarts every day at seven in the morning. The hard drives automatically power off when not in use for three minutes, and the only hard drive left permanently working is the internal 256GB SSD.

    (2) The external disks are formatted in EXT4 because it works very well with Linux in general and with LE in particular.

    (3) I never disconnect hard drives and access is done via the network, usually with SFTP protocol for reading/writing, and WebDAV for reading, FOR ALL DEVICES, including smartphones, TV boxes, smart TVs, and PCs with Windows or Linux . All the management of users, quotas and permissions is carried out by the drakkan/sftpgo docker service running within LE for network access, or directly by LE for internal access (backup services, remote synchronization, etc.).

    (4) Once or twice a year I check and repair the hard drives on a Linux PC but have never encountered any problems.

    I do not have enough knowledge to comment on the virtues of the NTFS format but what I do know is that Windows plays havoc with hard drives and I am not surprised that you suffer massive corruptions; Solomon's solution is to disallow direct hard drive access to Windows, and allow this only via network sharing.

    Regarding exFAT I know enough to tell you not to use this, it is very very very bad.

    Good luck!

  • Transmission on KODI (can't connect to repository)

    This is my SSH command for install transmission for docker:

    docker run -d \

    --name=9091-transmission \

    --net=host \

    --cpus=0.5 \

    -e PUID=0 \

    -e PGID=0 \

    -e TZ=Europe/Paris \

    -e USER=transmission \

    -e PASS=libreelec \

    -e DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:universal-wait-for-internet \

    -p 9091:9091 \

    -p 51413:51413 \

    -p 51413:51413/udp \

    -v /storage/.config/dockers/transmission/config:/config \

    -v /media/5TB-HDD/.transmission/downloads:/downloads \

    -v /storage/.config/dockers/transmission/watch:/watch \

    -v /media:/media \

    --restart unless-stopped \

    linuxserver/transmission

    replace 5TB-HDD with de name of your partition on external disk

  • LiveTV - Audio lost for a long / unpredictable time

    I'm swatting flies but it works, in modern IPTV HLS streams with ads, in playlists for tvheadend, I pass the URL of each channel through streamlink+ffmpeg+cvlc using a personal tvhdecode.sh script... and it works .

    I sense that now many TV streams or other, include DRM codes that need specific hardware/software in which linux is excluded or license burned in of the SoC itself, and only work well in major browsers or android applications, or some certified devices.

    Now I'm testing with Jellyfin clients that receive streams from the server from the playlists generated by tvheadend and the tests are interesting, with Android you can use the processing with the internal player based on ExoPlayer!.

    I hope I didn't bore you!

  • Tvheadend nightly builds for LE

    If I understand well, an Sat>IP server transports only selected channel and not a complete mux: Sat>IP allow full mux RX mode support

    can it manage DISEqC switches and multiple LNBs?: yes

    do I still need a tvheadend server for decrypting and serving multiple Kodi clients?: yes

    The Vbox android gateway does not seem good choice for a headless server use: false, is the same as Sat>IP

    The main differences between Sat>IP and VBox are:

    For tvheadend Sat>IP is another automatically recognized tuner that does not allow handling any satellite dish motor.

    For tvheadend VBox is an IPTV playlist and can't group channels from the same mux, although VBox does.

    If you use an enigma2 player as a tuner, then tvheadend also sees it as an IPTV playlist.

  • Hard drive sleeping and not seen

    Windows always makes hard drives unusable for other operating systems when it goes to sleep or shuts down using techniques called 'Windows Fast Boot or Power Saver'.

    I don't know if this happens to you using samba access from Windows to your LibreELEC hard drive, if this is the case then unmount the drive when you're done.

  • Restore from backup didn't preserve permissions on SSH keys

    You are correct, system backups do not include the .cache directory and this allows the restore to be done on another device.

    My custom backups are run from the 'cron' service every three days and include everything:

    cd /media/<my-external-hdd>/.backups/le-backup/ && tar -cvf $(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).tar \

      --exclude=Thumbnails --exclude=.thumbnails --exclude=.acestream_cache --exclude=temp --exclude=tmp \

      /storage/.kodi /storage/.cache /storage/.config /storage/.fluxbox /storage/.ssh

  • install home assistant on x86 docker

    You just need to look at the source:

    Generic x86-64
    Install Home Assistant on Generic x86-64 systems (e.g. Intel NUC)
    www.home-assistant.io

    (I think the name of the docker image is wrong and you should replace 'http://ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable' with 'homeassistant/home-assistant' as it appears on https://hub.docker. com/r/homeassistant/home-assistant, check this yourself)

    Very important warning: Before installing a new docker Home Assistant container, remove the previous ones installed. If you don't know docker, study a little starting here https://docs.docker.com/
