LibreELEC is $free open-source software not a PRODUCT from a company, and no user from any timezone has a right to instant or rapid support from the unpaid volunteers who give up their free time to work on the distro and staff this forum.

Correct and folly endorse but in this day there are many similar companies such as yourselves, who appear to be operating a security-conscious forum but in a more tolerant way.... just an observation

NB: initial post approval applies to everyone and while your posts might not be visible to all users, they will be visible to mods/staff who are most likely to be the people replying. It is done solely for anti-spam reasons only, and is effective, and the algorithm that auto-manages it normally lifts restrictions quickly. If you're deeply offended by it or ragingly impatient, you're probably in the wrong forum.

I live in a time zone which means., under the current system of approval, that the normal cycle of post-to-possible response is usually in excess of 24 hours, which when you are trying your best to get to know a product is frustrating. I did find your comments ref my impatience more than slightly offensive and perhaps I am the wrong person for this PRODUCT and Forum, so let's see.

This message is to the moderators, why is my account still being monitored for new responses and new posts, it is taking so long to get any reasonable responses from this forum because of this

I followed instructions on the ExpressVPN support page which ended with having me download a .ovpn file based on the ExpressVPN server that I wanted to use.

Hello,

I have a similar issue can you please advise which support page you are referring to please?

Thanks

Hello,

I do not understand why this unnecessary logic is in place to stop anyone from setting their own DNS servers when in DHCP mode, after all I may need to take my Libreelec/Kodi box on a trip and it is easier to stay in DHCP mode as you may not know the IP range at the other location, but what you may want to do is keep your DNS servers the same.

So i am struggling to understand why someone has gone to lengths to make this rule?? it's not in any standard that I am aware of, and it's easy to do on other devices so slightly puzzled.

Thanks

Update Reading KODI Wiki -which appears to give a good grounding...

Hello,

I seem to have been wasting my time chasing my tail so to speak on this subject. As previously suggested to me i should use the search field to find add-ons, which I did and found ref to a VPN called TINC, and it installed which for me was a bonus. But I cannot find any instructions on how to configure it, all those out there that i can find are for Ubunutu systems and not relevant.

I am beginning to think that this desire to get Kodi working for me is a step too far, should I start over again and perhaps get a better understanding of how KODI work, on that subject can anyone point me in the right direction to read up on KODi to at least understand a little more about "how it works" and how to select and use Add-ons etc.

Apologies for rambling on a bit here...

Thanks

Quote from Da Flex

Python version is compiled into LE. So you can't change the Python version on LE. You can only downgrade LE.

If you're disappointed with the situation, ask the add-on developer to compile with a newer Python.

Understand, the reason i asked for help is some of the add-ons impacted would appear to be popular for example uTube and OpenVPN ( to use with NordVPN)

Thanks.

I am new to the LibreElec/Kodi environment, but I have tried to run Kodi directly on Raspberry OS and also on OSMC and I keep getting the same errors when trying to install add-ons.

I am now trying the LibreElec solution with Kodi and am disappointed to find out that the same issues are occurring on this more updated version of KODI. Now on 20.01.

Is there some documentation that someone can point me to that gives a simple-to-understand and implement solution to this issue, please???

Thanks

Hi,

I guess LibreElec will not boot from USB as I have tried this a few times and now given up...so now running on SD.

Can I "copy" Sd content to USB and run from USB this way?

Or will I have to run on Sd and configure a USB drive as additional storage, if so how do I do this please i cannot seem to locate any info on this about LibreElec.

Thank You

JohnW
