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:

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

Well this problem does also appear on the rpi5.

And there is an additional issue where by changing the zoom percentage on x265 video will black out the entire screen (while playing the video). Stopping/Starting/Restarting KODI service does nothing to get video back. So I'm forced to reboot the rpi5 or powerdown/poweron.

Can someone confirm ?

Quote from chewitt

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

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.

So, yes it is a workaround, but not for a design flaw that the Pi created.

That makes sense, preventative measures do not work after the fact. Nice I learned something today

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

Hi,

I read somewhere that 2GB is enough for running LE, does that still hold up?

Is there any reason to spend $15 extra on a 4GB ?

And has this fix been applied ? Just curious.

All thoughts are welcome, especially when you run LE on an RPI5

Thanks in advance

Fixed it manually, and reported.

My cousins wife is Flemisch and I setup two language profiles one English one Flemish/Dutch.

She could not find Movie sets/Film sets. After some quick phone support it appears to be mislabeled as "Instellen".

So where to report this translation error ?

Is there a way to rename it manually ?

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.

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

LE has 3 firewall options: off, home and public.

The home option blocks everything incoming except private networks:

• 192.168.x.x
• 172.16.x.x
• 10.x.x.x

However the 10.x.x.x is also used by WireGuard, and would leave it potentially open to access from your VPN provider.

Is that a correct assessment ?

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:

[provider_wireguard]
Type = WireGuard
Name = WireGuard VPN Tunnel
Host = 185.107.56.***
WireGuard.Address = 10.2.0.2/32
WireGuard.ListenPort = 51820
WireGuard.PrivateKey = ***
WireGuard.PublicKey = ***
WireGuard.DNS = 10.2.0.1
WireGuard.AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
WireGuard.EndpointPort = 51820
WireGuard.PersistentKeepalive = 25

5. Listed connections:

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

6. Connected to tunnel:

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

7. Ran some tests:

# ip route
default dev wg0 scope link 
10.2.0.1 dev wg0 scope link 
185.107.56.*** via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 scope link  src 192.168.1.2
192.168.1.1 dev eth0 scope link 
# ping -c1 10.2.0.2 | grep ttl
64 bytes from 10.2.0.2: seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.248 ms
# ping -c1 10.2.0.1 | grep ttl
# ping -c1 1.1.1.1 | grep ttl
# 

8. In conclusion: it does not work.

Please enlighten me: what am I doing wrong ?

Hi,

I have videos with English and Japanese subtitles. The Japanese subtitles do not display. Do fonts need to be added for languages, and if so where exactly ?

(I do not read Japanese, but I figured others might)

Thanks much

Thanks for the feedback

Hi,

I requested a quick/partial library update over on the kodi forum: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=377855

The logic is sound. I even have a practical example that illustrates its faster. But for some reason, it does not seem to be going anywhere. All the feedback I get is: hashes are faster.

Can someone with kodi coding experience verify my logic and/or tell me if my ask is unreasonable?

Thank you

Hi,

I have a PIN-code set to prevent people from changing settings. However screen calibration cannot be opened from within the player anymore. It does ask for the PIN-code, but after entering the PIN, it should open screen calibration, but does not.
