My in-laws need an external dongle on their Pi4 is there a recommended device?
A search of the wiki & the forum bore no fruit.
It needs to be pretty much plug and play other than enabling it and adding in their wifi details, no command line stuff.
Any info greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the info.
What OS do you run on the Dell?
I do have a TV HAT that I used in the Pi3 before I repurposed the Pi3 for a pi-hole but only being able to record one channel was too restrictive.
With the Pi5 for LibreELEC have you noticed any improvement in video scanning?
Myself and my wife both have hearing issues so rely on subtitles, when a file doesn't have subs we occasionally have to rewind (we have it set for 10 seconds) to try and decipher what's been said. Sometimes though the Pi4 struggles with continuing to play the file.
I currently have a Pi 3b running Pi-hole and a Pi 4 running LibreELEC both working fine.
I fancy having a play with a new device and feel like setting up a PVR.
Do I get a Pi 5 and use that for PVR or move everything around?
Plus which USB device(s) would be the best for UK Freeview? Multiple if needed so that I can record more than one program simultaneously.
Installed on RPi4 and all running tickety boo.
Many thanks for everyone's work on this.
Make sure to remove the old Radio.de before starting.
I installed the Radio.de add-on via the fivebangers repository: https://github.com/fivebanger/kod….fivebanger.zip
That will also update it as and when required.
Download the zip file and place it somewhere you can browse to on your KODI install, then browse to the zipfile via the add-ons menu (install from zip file) the repository will then show under Add-on/install from repository
I've been running it today & still noticed the green line flickering.
Do I need to change any settings in KODI?
I use OSMC-remotes on 4 Pi4 and 1 Pi5 without any problems, all of them boots from SSD.
Me too for at least a month, this boot screen is a recent issue.
The Rii X8 is always turned off on the unit itself until needed, then turned off again.
I will ensure that is unplugged too.
So connected there is:
USB adaptor with an SSD on it for LibreELEC
USB Hard-Drive for media
OSMC Dongle for remote
Last night after shutdown I unplugged everything except the System SSD drive, media drive & the OSMC remote dongle.
The Pi booted up fine this morning.
I don't have a keyboard connected.
We have an OSMC Remote permanently connected.
And my wife uses an Rii X8 for iPlayer searches, but as iPlayer is currently not functioning she hasn't used it for a week or so.
Thank you I'll try that before swapping anything else.
Sorry, the fix didn't work.
When I powered on the Pi this morning I was still met with the Choose Device, Choose OS, Choose Storage screen.
I will remove the USB SSD drive and use the SD card.
Then if that doesn't work change: BOOT_ORDER=0xf14 to: BOOT_ORDER=0xf41
And try the SD for a while then swap that out for the SSD.
Could it be an issue with the Bootloader EEPROM 2024-04-15
Or the VIA USB3 Firmware: 000138c0
Both showing as up to date in LibreELEC settings.
The edit worked.
I will reboot later (Pi is currently in use) and keep an eye on it.
Many thanks for your help with this.
I get the following error
LibreELEC:~ # rpi-config-eeprom -e
-sh: rpi-config-eeprom: not found
LibreELEC (official): 12.0.0 (RPi4.aarch64)
LibreELEC:~ # vcgencmd bootloader_config
[all]
BOOT_UART=0
WAKE_ON_GPIO=1
POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=0
That's all I get.
Thank you for your help with this.
What do you have BOOT_ORDER set to?
Sorry no idea, how do I check?
Have you removed the USB drive when testing with sdcard?
Yes & vice versa.
The SD card was the one I used before moving over to SSD for dual boot, it worked fine without issue.
The SSD worked fine for months up until recently.
When at the network boot screen, it says "Press ESC to cancel and go to diagnostics screen" who does diagnostic screen show?
(if keyboard is not connected on boot, I believe it goes directly to diagnostics screen).
When I pressed escape the Pi rebooted & LibreELEC booted up fine, I never saw a diagnostic screen.
