I'm having a problem I'd like to solve, and at current, the shortest path that I can see is being able to mount an NFS share within /mnt, which in LibreELEC seems impossible as the root filesystem doesn't provide /mnt and is read-only. I'm VERY open to other solutions, but at this point I'm stuck.

Background: I have an extensive media collection that has been curated over many years, and it's currently living on my file server and is shared to various other servers over NFS. The path on ALL other servers is /mnt/fileserver. It has been shared on an airsonic VM (now decommissioned), my local vdi VM, and my jellyfin VM. This matters because inside this folder is a Music/Playlists folder, and it references my music files by absolute path at /mnt/fileserver. Everything works peachy.

My main consumption of media is via LibreElec boxes on most of my TV's, and that is accomplished via the JellyCon plugin. It works fantastic, and I have a home menu with shortcuts straight into the Jellyfin libraries, it's seamless.

The big issue is music. My jellyfin server hosts music, and the Playlists work fine. The web UI works great, and the android apps (Finamp, the Jellyfin app, and Findroid) work fine. The issue is the Jellycon Kodi add-on has no mechanism to play Playlists. They don't show up in the library or anything. It's a bug I've submitted over there.

So, in the interim, I'm trying to find a way to present the media library to Kodi. I can use SFTP and NFS and get the music files to show up, but the Playlists are out as they are hard coded to absolute paths based on /mnt/fileserver and I am NOT redoing that just for this purpose.

So, I'm stuck. If I could create an NFS mount at /mnt/fileserver on the LibreELEC boxes, the whole music library would show up local and I think the Playlists would work as expected, but since / is read-only, I can't do that, and mounts at other paths defeat the purpose I'm trying to solve. I'm open to any ideas; and other than Linux jiggery-pokey to remount / as read-write and create the path (which is likely update unstable) I don't see a good path forward to getting LibreELEC to play my existing playlists?

Understood, thanks!

Is it normal for the list in "Get More" to be that short, I feel like on other LibreElec installs there were more by default?

I have a fresh install of LibrecElec 11.95.2 on a Raspberry Pi 4B, and I'm having an issue installing skins. Specifically, I am looking for the Eminence skin, which I use on another older LibreELEC install. All repos appear to be working, including the Kodi and LibreELEC repo.

When I go to Skins and select "Get More" there are very few in the list. It's just "Aeon Nox: SiLVO","Aeon Tajo", "Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded", "Confluence", "Copacetic", "Estuary", and "Mimic-LR". None of the repos have any other skins to install.

I went and got the zip from https://kodi.tv/addons/omega/skin.eminence.2/ and downloaded it to the box. What's weird is I can see other zips in the "install from zip" interface, but I can't see the zip for the skin at all, even after verifying linux file permissions. I'm stumped. Is this a skin compatibility thing? I see no version restriction. Is this an architecture thing? I have it on other x86 systems but this is arm.

I have a LibreElec 11 install I'm very happy with on an ANCIENT x86 computer. I'm getting ready to move away from chromecast and put small libreElec boxes all over the house, and I've just freed up several Raspberry Pi 4's which I want to use.

I have done "Create system and Kodi" backup, but I have a bunch of stuff installed from other repos (Disney+ plugin, Amazon Prime plugin, Netflix Plugin, chrome browser plugin). Also, I'm going from x86_64 to arm64. I have to imagine it's not as simple as "restore backup" right? Also, the new ones will be new hostnames and IPs, does that get restored when I restore? I don't fully understand what comes in the backup; it's a ton of files and it almost looks like a full system image. Is it normal to cherry pick things out of a backup? Is there a better way to approach this?
