Well there's no general issue with SMB shares, so perhaps try an LE10 or LE11 nightly on a spare SD card.

I don't see any issues with the service when it runs ^ .. admittedly not on a C2 but the service has run without logging errors.

No idea. To be honest it wasn't obvious that you were directly connecting the two RPi devices (not via a router) so I was expecting them to be in the same subnet and thus the OMV interface would be accessible.

Speed of navigation in a large library is mostly about CPU and I/O performance of the device where the library DB files and artwork thumbnail caches reside. Using a less art-intensive skin and lower resolution graphics has a major impact (as less data to be fetched and rendered to the screen) and using a better CPU and particularly SSD/nvme storage (so access times are lower) are also important. I've also found that GUI scroll speed is often dictated by the remote device; benchmark things with a 'keyboard' not an IR device where slow(er) key-repeat timings can make the GUI appear sluggish even when compute performance is good.

Converting the PC that's storing the media into a NAS will probably improve playback start times (as more efficient network, etc.) but will not improve browse times as Kodi stores the DB/thumbs on the playback device, not the sharing device. The partial exception being with you use an SQL database (which is likely on the sharing device/NAS) but then artwork access still has more impact than DB query times.

Two options:

a) Configure a static IPv4 address in LE settings add-on (network) settings

b) Configure the router with a static DHCP reservation for the MAC of each RPi device

I would personally do 'B' because this means the DHCP assigned IP is persistent over reinstallations of the device and copy/pasting things to a router GUI is usually quicker than entering details with a remote control (nothing has a keyboard attached in my setup).

See https://kodi.wiki/view/Adding_video_sources .. use SMB or NFS sharing from OpenMediaVault and it should be simple.

Connect the RPi4 directly to the TV (no AVR) and check the EDID data is readable. If it is, capture the EDID from the TV to file so it can be forced to workaround the issue the AVR is introducing. If it is not (and do this anyway..) try different HDMI cables.

The issue is probably the TLS cert chain in the image, which is now outdated so HTTPS connections fail when accessing repos.

LE11 development image: https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…lepotato.img.gz

Kodi always and only outputs progressive. Interlaced 25/29.97/30 media requires 50/59.94/60Hz modes from the TV so that each interlaced frame (two half frames) can be rendered progressively (in two progressive frames). Hence the highest resolution Kodi can output is 720p (mode 4) and there is no 1080i to select.

What version of MariaDB? .. it needs to be something recent.

PR to bump add-on revs (followed by rebuild and push to repo) has been submitted so changes will come though. Be patient.

We generally try to avoid those kinds of scenarios but we're human and occasionally things happen. Life on the bleeding edge of development often involves some blооd being spilled

"Long ago" probably means using the legacy video pipeline which means the hdmi_ tweaks in config.txt aren't relevant to the now-different video pipeline used in current LE releases.

LE 9.0.2 image is here: https://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-LePo…rm-9.0.2.img.gz

Once that's installed you can probably update to dtech release of LE 9.2.8 (search the forum for his release thread).

LE11 dev image with Kodi 20 and Linux 5.19 is here: https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…lepotato.img.gz

IIRC /storage/.kodi/userdata/favourites.xml ?? .. I don't think it's a DB file

Most monitoring tools have install scripts that assume sudo is needed and wrong path locations for LE, but as dependencies aren't complex the scripts can be adapted to run on LE without much effort. You can run more complicated things in Docker containers; but that's more for application stacks than simple things.

If you can point to an online location for the installer script someone can see what might be needed.

Just exclude the -w filename.pcap .. then it outputs to console
