Hello everyone,
I've been using the RPi version of LibreElec for a few days now. So far, I haven't really encountered any problems (at least, not more than with the PC version).
All I need to do now is configure the box (Argon ONE), but I've seen that the script can be used (via SSH?).
So I'm closing the subject, thanks to all those who have contributed, I'd never have found it.
EDIT 2003/10/01 : RE: [RPi4B] Argon One Case Shutdown
Everything seems to be running smoothly. I had a slight freeze at the disk connection, but when I rebooted, everything worked as expected.
Now I just need to transfer my movies and settings.
I'll come back at the end to "solved" this issue. In any case, thank you all for the help, I wouldn't have found it on my own.
New case and ... IT'S FINALLY WORKING (or almost)
Sometimes the system doesn't start up (black screen), but when it does, the disk is immediately functional.
I'll try again with the stable version of LibreElec (I was using LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20230903).
Indeed, it seems to be a more serious problem.
I'll test it with another OS on RPI 4 and see what happens. If the problem persists, I'll ask for another refund.
Indeed, the disk is powered but invisible by the system with another OS (TwisterOS).
I'll look into getting another product.
I just tried it again, no improvement.
LibreELEC (community): nightly-20230829-fe64254 (RPi4.arm)
Same problem with a size of 4096 : http://ix.io/4EGj
My current case (I sent the other one back, it had a dissipation problem) is "Yottamaster M.2 SSD Case".
Still the same problem: the disk is not visible in LibreElec (empty /media/ folder).
I chose 512 Kb for the block size, and saw that there were small files in the ./actors/ folders.
I don't know, the Windows partition management utility doesn't specify it when you format, the value displayed is "Default".
But if you want to format via "Computer", the pre-selected allocation unit size is "256 kilobytes".
The disk has indeed been formatted from a Windows VM (W10), with the default sector size.
I don't have any other USB boxes to test. One solution would have been to put it in place of the current drive in the Argon One case, except that at the time, only SATA M.2 support was available. The disk I want to use is in NVME ...
Since LE11 we use the exFAT drivers in the kernel (no more need for FUSE) but you'll need to share the URL from "dmesg | paste" with the drive connected for anyone to comment.
Hello,
Sorry for the delay, I was waiting to receive the new USB box.
Here is the link to the "dmesg | paste" command : http://ix.io/4DSH
I'm sorry, but this is a problem I've been struggling with for easily 1 year and every time I think I've got the answer, I have a new problem.
For example OSMC: I've already thought of using it BUT the system has to be installed on an SD card. I do everything from an SSD...
My goal is to get rid of my x64 PC and use the RaspberryPi (for media-center use), which consumes less power and heats up less.
The chewitt answer may be the solution, but I don't know why the disk isn't mounted by default, or why I can't explore it.
Not exactly the place for this but just add an up to date Kodi PPA for Ubuntu https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2023…ppa-ubuntu/amp/
You can pretty well do this for any flavour of Linux. You’re certainly not restricted to Arch Linux because it’s repos have an up to date version of Kodi
Note that this PPA only provides builds for Ubuntu i386 and Ubuntu amd64 but not for Ubuntu armhf, which can run on a Raspberry Pi
For installs that don't directly include and/or boot into Kodi automatically.
Raspberry Pi OS
(Current Version - 18.7)
Codesudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install kodi
Personally I’d have chosen Ubuntu but I assume from your choice of Arch Linux you’re no stranger to Linux.
ArchLinux is the only distribution to include the latest version of Kodi.
The version provided by Ubuntu is obsolete and the ARM version does not exist on Flathub.
Since LE11 we use the exFAT drivers in the kernel (no more need for FUSE) but you'll need to share the URL from "dmesg | paste" with the drive connected for anyone to comment.
Cool !
How do I enter the command? In SSH?
The idea is to use the Raspberry Pi for a low-consumption media center, hence my choice of LibreElec given the hardware involved.
As for the file system, it must be able to store files larger than 4 GB.
If there's really no possibility, I'll turn to ArchLinux, which includes the latest version of Kodi in its repositories.
It's formated in exFat, from Windows (I have files larger than 4 GB and the disk must be able to be read from another system).
I tested from RasperryPi OS and the disk is readable if you install the associated "fuse exfat" package.
Hi,
I have an Raspberry Pi 4 in Argon One M.2 case and I want to store my datas in an external drive.
I choose a SSD 1 TB with USB case (https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B07MBQPQ62 + https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0BGS3NZ4C) but I can't browse my drive.
I can navigate to ./media/ssd_samsung_evo_270/ but no further.
In the other messages, power supply is the first point raised.
But my case has a power supply of 18 W (5V - 3.5 A) and should therefore be sufficient.
Have you an idea ?
