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

    HiassofT Thank you very much, you guys are too fast ^^


    edit:

    So I updated to latest LE12 (2025-04-04), Immediately for some constructive feedback.

    The black screen problem has been fixed, yay!

    However the other issue i still present:

    Quote from Elicity

    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.

    (afaict the zoom value is not applied when switching to zoom mode)

  • 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

  • Unofficial LE for RK356x RK3328\RK3399 RK3588(s) RK3576

    but HDMI needs to be reliable.

    I looked at mainline again and I think the earliest would be 6.15, now that would be somewhere in July which also includes audio support. But to be honest I think if 26th of December presents us with an image we are very lucky. I'm sure they are working very hard to get it all in before 6.18 which afaict will become the latest stable.

    All n All, patience is key :saint:

  • [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) RK3576

    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]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

  • 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 ?
