  • Restore Backup on Different Architecture

    I tried doing this and there were some issues. I just unpacked the .kodi/userdata folder. That seemed to have worked fine. However the guisettings.xml caused my 4k screen to display as 1080p, leaving me with 25% to work with. I fixed that with:

    Code
    systemctl stop kodi
cd /storage/.kodi/userdata
mv guisettings.xml guisettings.xml.bak
awk '/<resolutions>/ {print "    <resolutions />"; next} /<\/resolutions>/ {next} {print}' guisettings.xml.bak > guisettings.xml
cd $OLDPWD
systemctl start kodi

    Oh, and don't forget to extract your .ssh folder, almost locked myself out ;)

    Also deleted the Addons33.db, to prevent x86 plugins to reinstall.

    That was it for me /shrug

  • [x86-64] Switching Display Modes does not work for Zoom

    I bound a remote key to switching Display Modes, its easier than to go into the menu all the time.

    Now when I press a button on the remote I can easily cycle to the mode I want for a particular video.

    Everything works fine except for Zoom Mode, when I cycle to that nothing happens. If I do it from the video-menu it does work, but I have to increase or decrease the percentage and set it back.

    I'm using the generic x86/64 image.

  • Buying a RPI5

    Thank guys, a 2GB it is then.

    Can I change the eeprom option from LE itself or do i need to boot into rpi-os or raspbian ?

    Quote from popcornmix

    It is by design

    Like buying a car that intentionally leaks gas, just for those that want to pull a trailer. Seems like a design flaw workaround to me.


    Thanks for the advice, it really helped me :saint:

  • Unofficial LE for RK356x RK3328\RK3399 RK3588(s)

    Just read the rk3588 status from collabora, I saw audio being added in 6.15 which is kind of a big deal. That only leaves CEC afaict to get a functional kernel. Now I'm not planning to get into this until 2026 as I expect development to slow down and support to pick up.

    Nevertheless , thank you for your work and I might be tempted if a NanoPi-r6c-r6s or NanoPC-T6 build shows up by then.

  • Firewall HOME and WireGuard not such a good idea ?

    Would it possible to add more profiles? One for VPN users for example.

    And would this go into the LE-backup/restore ?

    The unit file in LibreELEC (official): 12.0.1 for WireGuard is different compared to the wiki.

    The one from the wiki works, the one in LE 12.0.1 unfortunately does not. I updated mine to be variable, however it is limited to the first VPN connection found. This way I do not have to edit

    [Unit]
    Description=WireGuard VPN Service
    After=network-online.target nss-lookup.target wait-time-sync.service connman-vpn.service
    Before=kodi.service

    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    RemainAfterExit=yes
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/sh -c "connmanctl connect $(connmanctl services|awk '/vpn_/{print $NF;exit}')"
    ExecStop=/usr/bin/sh -c "connmanctl disconnect $(connmanctl services|awk '/vpn_/{print $NF;exit}')"

    [Install]

  • WireGuard cannot get it to work

    Hi,

    For some reason I cannot get WireGuard to work. I did the following:

    1. Copied wireguard.config.sample to wireguard.config

    2. Changed Host, WireGuard: Address, PrivateKey, PublicKey, DNS from VPN Provider Config (proton)

    3. Deleted WireGuard.PresharedKey because it is not provided.

    4. Config:

    5. Listed connections:

    Code
    # connmanctl services
*AO Wired                ethernet_000000000000_cable
* d WireGuard VPN Tunnel vpn_185_107_56_***
#

    6. Connected to tunnel:

    Code
    # connmanctl connect vpn_185_107_56_***
Connected vpn_185_107_56_***
#

    7. Ran some tests:

    8. In conclusion: it does not work.


    Please enlighten me: what am I doing wrong ?
