Ok, i had a few minutes.

I couldnt use the built-in feature to upload my logs, and I’m learning still how to do SSH and/or SMB. So I used the Kodi Add-onn

If this is too big or not the right way I apologize.

Ubuntu Pastebin

If you scroll down a bit there’s stuff about PlexKodiConnect.

Thank you!!!

There is a lot of warnings regarding username/userid/plexid not being set but the error causing the crash in your addon is

21:12:50.655 T:3469734736   ERROR: PLEX.librarysync: LibrarySync thread crashed. Error message: no such table: tag

I don't use this addon but judging by the error it looks like the table 'tag' is missing in your Plex database, as the issue is not build related I think you would be better to ask at the Plex forums for a solution.

Hey buddy, great work - especially for a newbie like me.

I was using kzaq’s build on my S912 setup. I used PlexKodiConnect for as i use Plex.

Worked great with this build. And overall has worked great with v18 on my other machines.

Unfortunately, when trying to use it on your build i get an error:

“Library Sync Thread Has Crashed. Please report and reboot” (last part is paraphrasing).

Other than going back to ksaq’s discontinued build I’m not sure what to do. The PKC dev will likely tell me its an issue with the build and ask you.

Any ideas? Can I provide you anything (a log?) to help?

Thanks!

The add-on may not work in Kodi Leia yet, if you have a PC try Kodi nightly on that if it works then provide a log and I will be happy to look at it.

GDPR-2 I have only one repo and it's working.

I have two microsd cards, one has @kszaq's LE 8.2 and other one has your LE 9.0.

I test your builds by cloning LE 8.2 and installing updates.

But last time I installed 8.90.1 on to your previous build.

Cloned @kszaq's LE 8.2 and updated to 8.90.1 again. It's fine now.

I know it is a pain but starting from scratch is the best policy imo, upgrading between major Kodi releases will almost certainly produce issues.

Releases should start becoming more stable since 8.90.1 as a lot of the code has moved upstream to the main LE repository, all future releases will be mostly based on the official LE repo and as closely aligned to it as possible.

Hi, im using last build but still have trouble with inputstream.rtmp , when i start i get a error no compatible version of rtmp. I tryed tu go to addons and go to update, works , but i reboot and i get same trouble. Is the correct way for update addons? thx!

This is a difficult issue to explain but we have resolved it for future.

Because of the nature of these community releases and both myself and afl1 wanting to give you the latest version of Kodi and the related binary-addons...

There have been issues with some addons, even though there was newer versions of them when we came to making new releases, the version numbers of the addons where not being increased by their respective developers.

This was causing incompatibilities as Kodi will not download the updated addons if the version numbers have not increased.

We solved this by increasing the very last number of the version string if there is any kind of update for the addons, HOWEVER this change has not come into effect yet because we have not bumped the binary addons since making this change.

Issues like this should disappear in the future as we start updating the addons, you can clean your packages folder and force a reinstall of the addon via the addon system and then it should update and the issue should resolve itself.

Quote from rashii

kszaq then how are we going to resolve our original problem reported in the first post? We can see in libreelec TV adapters but channels can't be opened....any idea of how to resolve it? We all have this problem: "I can see the /dev/dvb/adapter0 device tree. However, neither VDR nor TVHeadend can tune a DVB-S channel."

Regards

kszaq has already stated there will be no further builds for 8.2, development has ended on that branch, the focus now is on 9.x, all developers have moved to Leia now.

@sinancetinkaya try removing your repos that no longer either exist or can not be contacted, this may help with your migration issues

Does anyone have a problem with the built in Bluetooth on Mecool M8S Pro L? I just get "Adapter not found". Working in Android.

I can get bluetooth by an USB dongle, but for some reason my PS3 remote refuses to connect...never had problems with the same dongle on an Intel NUC...

And BTW, thanks for your work, excellent!

Which wifi/bt chip do you have in your box? Can you provide a dmesg as that would be more helpful than just stating something does not work.

Quote from wapvi

I think you misread what I said or maybe I just said it wrong so let me try again. When playing a uhd file from my ext4 formatted hdd nfs share everything is fine. However, when pluggingthe drive to my minix u9 and playing the same file it results in stuttering and out of sync audio. Seems like libreelec doesn't read fast enough from an ext4 had which is odd. I keep getting source is too slow to read but a ntfs formatted drive plays his files just fine.

No you have completely misread what I said, problem is nothing to do with LibreELEC, it's a combination of a poor kernel and hardware, playing over NFS reduces a lot of CPU overhead which in-turn = better playback.

Quote from delz

Thanks for the work.

I'm trying to transfer files from OS X to the box. Gives me -36 after a certain period of time. File "can't be read or written". Smaller files work fine. Tried different LibreELEC versions. I'm transferring from my mac to LibreELEC.

I've read several troubleshooting guides, but they are all if I experience trouble with accessing files on my mac. Not transferring them from Mac to LibreELEC.

Does anyone know a workaround?

Quote from wapvi

for some reason libreelec doesnt like ext4 external HDDs, on NAS it works fine but direct play results in stutter and slow downs

Both of these have been covered before, we really should make an FAQ for these kinds of questions.

AFS/Samba don't work well on these boxes, transfer via NFS if you can and don't use wireless.

LibreELEC is not the reason or cause for slow transfers, it's a combination of a poor kernel and slow hardware, when transferring over USB the kernel stack has to handle not just the usb stack but also the ext4fs which adds an overhead to the CPU which impacts performance in Kodi which is why you see the slow down and stutter, the file system format becomes irrelevant when transferring over NFS the overheads are then handled on the remote side.

hello i have a question, i use libreelec 8.9.0.1 on a m8sii and for me is very good ,i use on a philips tv 22' and i can control all with tv remote ,tv and libreelec,but i have a question with tv remote i can not appear the menu on a film or series where i can mark it as seen or not seen and other, i test all the key on tv remote but nothing, how can i do? is possible to map a particular key on the remote to be used for that function or some other solutions??

thanks

There is an add-on called 'Keymap Editor' which works perfectly for this.

Libreelec repository under services - is there a link, please, since I am not sure I understand what exactly is a LE repository

I'm sorry but if you don't understand this then I don't think you should be using LE or even Kodi for that matter.

Quote from punter

My eyes must be failing me in my old age

I see from here Index of /LibreELEC/ there is option of version 8.2 Krypton or 9.0 Leia - which should I use?

Thanks!

they are in Libreelec repository under services, do not download them from anywhere else.

Anybody know of this can be used to install LE? It’s amlogic 912 but I wanted to make sure:

Amazon.com: Beelink GT1 Ultimate Android 7.1 TV Box DDR4 3GB / 32GB 1000Mbps LAN Dual Wifi 2.4G+5.8G Bluetooth 4.0 Smart TV BOX: Electronics

This isn't the thread for it but yes it can however personally I would get a cheaper S905X box.

belaid38 Please report back if the updated addon fixed the issues for you.

Are you able to send me dbt.img from android? You can find it in android upgrade image or submit ssh command:dd if=/dev/dtb of=/storage/dtb-kvim2.img bs=1k count=256

dtb source is already available @ linux/kvim2.dts at Nougat · khadas/linux · GitHub

Thanks to all the developers who give their time for these great builds

I have a couple of S905 boxes and started playing with a DVB-T2 stick

With kszaq's build on a 'X95mini' box the tuner gets automatically recognised, see here....

But with this 8.90.1 build on a Nexbox A95X the stick doesn't get detected. Any ideas?

Thanks

You need to install crazycat for dvb drivers, it says on the first post

Try and redownload and reflash the image it looks like something may have got corrupted.

belaid38  afl1 I think I will mark vdr as broken so it is no longer built and remove it from the repository until it gets updated.

I know CvH has or had an update for VDR pending to be merged with LE however I'm unsure if this addresses the issue mentioned so I think moving forward it is best to remove it and encourage uptake of tbh.
