same answer as at hte nerds smb1 is kind of broken and smb1 is all Kodi can handle -> switch to nfs and it should work

I might be completely wrong - probably am - but I was under the impression this addressed smb versions.

I'd suggest trying Millhouse builds - there's a huge thread in the pi section of the kodi forum.

Or make a new samba share.

Open the samba shares and look in Configfiles for the samba.conf.sample file.

Open it in a text editor (eg notepad++) and add the following:

[Kodi]
  path = /storage/.kodi
  available = yes
  browsable = yes
  public = yes
  writable = yes
  root preexec = mkdir -p /storage/.kodi

[Storage]
  path = /storage
  available = yes
  browsable = yes
  public = yes
  writable = yes
  root preexec = mkdir -p /storage

Save as samba.conf (not samba.conf.txt!).

Reboot.

You should have 2 new shares available - one pointing to the kodi folder, one to the whole storage partition.

I've never understood why that's not the default - it's literally the first thing I ever set up.

Look in programs for libreelec settings.

This isn't a bug by any definition.

If you were supposed to be able to enter codecs in expert view and couldn't it would be a bug. So it's a feature request.

Neither is it a kodi issue. If it's an issue at all it's a libreelec specific one.

There are plenty of settings that might need to be entered in config.txt (eg overclocking, HDMI settings, cec-related, overscan) - why is this one any different?

And, btw, you can edit config.txt without taking the card out. I do it from my pc with the pi running, then reboot.

There was an addon to do it in openelec ('OpenELEC RPi Config'), no idea if it's available in libreelec but if so there's your answer.

Read post #2. It will not be an exact copy of the card, but you only need the data on the card, not an image of the card. I never understand why people waste time creating an 8GB or 16GB image of their card when you can have a 1GB (max, it's often a lot less) backup file. Ho hum.

It doesn't really 'waste time' unless you sit watching it. I don't do that with the libreelec backup, and I don't do it if imaging in windows.

Restoring is quicker and easier from an image, unless you have an already running pi.

Burn image > boot pi vs install libreelec > boot pi > transfer backup to card > restore backup

The sector count would be a lot less of an issue if libreelec left a little gap at the end of the storage partition on install - as it is I do that manually. You can burn an image from usbit and it will ignore a size discrepancy; as long as the last partition fits it all works.

Mostly I use the built-in backup, but it's not always better.

Ah, gotcha. So it showing disabled in kodi settings is just cosmetic if it's a console addon.

Thanks for the explanation. Every day's a school day.

Code

wget http://addons.libreelec.tv/8.1/RPi2/arm/virtual.system-tools/virtual.system-tools-8.1.104.zip
unzip virtual.system-tools-8.1.104.zip -d /storage/.kodi/addons/
rm virtual.system-tools-8.1.104.zip

and after reboot you will see commands available.

Doesn't fully work on krypton and beyond - anything dropped in the addons folder needs to be enabled after a restart (or running 'updatelocaladdons'). No idea if you can do that via SSH - you can do it via the web interface though.

Super Favourites is still very much active and supported. There's a huge thread on the kodi forum.

Settings->TV->Playback->"Start Playback Minimized"->OFF

That shouldn't have any effect in the guide screen.

"unread" tracks not seen/read posts forever (you can click ofc read all to clear it)

last visit shows new posts since last visit regardless if you have missed something at your visit before or not

the problem is that everyone uses the board differently and had different habits (for ex never heard of this one)

if I can include this somehow i will do, same with posts in last 24h what some ppl have demands out of whatever reasons

Thanks for considering it - if it's a no-go it's not the end of the world. But what I'm looking for is literally the same as hitting 'new posts' on the old forum gave, or what hitting 'View new posts' or 'View Today's Posts' (either/or) gives on the Kodi forum. That's a fairly common forum feature.

Quote from Iridium

I think you'd be better off using a smaller SD card (2G) for LE and a larger USB stick for /storage.

I use a SD for LE and /storage is on a SSD and works a dream. If I'm correct LE is loaded into memory at start, so speed is not essential - as to the format of /storage I don't think it would make a difference to LE.

I tried using a fat32 storage partition a few years ago on OE. I can't remember the details but it initially all looked good but quickly turned to poop.

On the other hand I've used Fat32 for 'system' on pc's for years in OE and LE with no discernible issues.

Quote from vpeter

trogggy, what is the difference between "unread posts" and "new posts"?

I can easily see the threads I've already read / posted in. Sometimes I'll want to go back to re-read / edit. If I'm glancing at the list for new stuff since I last visited I'd just look above the last opened / read post.

Quote from CvH

You have now "Unread Posts" which shows you everything you haven't seen.

I've already said I'm using that. It's not the same thing.

No problem if you can't / won't supply a 'new posts' link, but 'Unread posts' is definitely not what I'm looking for at all.

It all looks very snazzy.

On the old forum I had 'new posts' as a shortcut which gave me a list of recently updated posts - whether I'd read them or not. Any chance of reinstating that (and / or 'todays posts', which seemed to work more or less along the same lines but gave more results)? That was ideal for a quick check. The nearest now seems to be 'unread posts'.

Also - currently have 'unread posts' as a shortcut; ;last time I clicked it gave a 'you are not authorized' message - turned out I'd been logged out. Maybe go to a log-in page rather than 'go away' for links like that?

OSX is a closed book to me, but windows only sees the first partition on removeable media so an extra fat32 partition on an sd card wouldn't be visible.

Thanks, is there an instruction to install addon in LE and Windows 7

Cheers!

Install from zip in libreelec like any other addon. I use Realvnc on windows 7 to connect to it.

Quote from e123enitan

does any one have idea which VNC addon work on this build, I am looking for one that would allows me to remotely review my LE remotely

Thanks
