**chewitt** · Youtube addon **chewitt** April 30, 2016 at 3:22 PM

The YouTube add-on in the Kodi repo has been broken for a while now - it's not an LE specific problem. The add-on maintainer quit, something broke, nobody really stepped-in to resume development or create an alternative yet.

RssFeeds.xml exists in the Kodi userdata directory so if you migrate from OE > LE the file is retained as-is. It wouldn't be right for us to start editing the file via scripts; should you go back to OE (hopefully not, but always the users' right to choose) we'd have removed the OE news feed. Probably not a big deal given the volume of news coming from OE, but, principles.

There is a low desire in the team for our repo to host and sustain add-ons that are basically used for piracy. In theory torrent add-ons can be used for legitimate purposes, but none of us ever met that user. As long as you're not using a WeTek box (which runs a too-old Linux kernel) you should have a look at the Docker addon and the posibilities it opens up.

If you explain which driver, we might be able to comment. If we rely on crystal balls, don't expect intelligent comments

**chewitt** · SMB version **chewitt** April 25, 2016 at 6:23 PM

Quote from trent

Hi,
I am sharing some video folders to LibreELEC via SMB shares on my Windows 10 machine.

There are various version of the SMB protocol. As I understand it, newer versions improve performance, reduce chattiness and so forth. SMB 3.0 introduced multi-channel.

Is there a way to find out (eg via logfile or ssh) which version of SMB is being used when LibreELEC accesses a SMB share? If so, how?

Thanks

I'll simplify this into a simple statement. Does it work, yes or no?

If it works, it works. So don't bother yourself fretting about the theoretical chattiness of a network or the marginal speed improvement that a blogger wrote an article on back in 2012. Spend your time watching movies, or go donate some of your time to a charity. Both are more enjoyable and a better use of your time

Index of / will probably appear over the weekend. Once it's up I'll put a link on the downloads page.

Bumpaneer: now that 6.95.2 is done I can pull the settings changes in and build you a private version with them included so you can crack on with the skinning if that would help. What build do you use for testing?

**chewitt** · Older versions? **chewitt** April 21, 2016 at 5:45 AM

DarrenHill .. sounds like the video bug that was fixed in 6.95.2 which has now been posted for download (or wait for auto-update which will be turned on in ~24 hours)

**chewitt** · [service.libreelec.settings] Skinning **chewitt** April 20, 2016 at 5:23 AM

Bumpaneer .. sorry the changes were missed from the official 6.95.2 images but will go into final (now that I know something needs to be done!)

**chewitt** · Tvheadend 4.2 in repository? **chewitt** April 19, 2016 at 7:54 PM

FYI.. Tvheadend 4.2 now appears in the repo

Some variant of automount - Disable mount for internal HDDs - Ask Ubuntu should work. In LE you can't edit the embedded rules but if you create a new rule in /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/99-no-internal-drives.rules it will run last and should cancel out the earlier embedded rule as all udev rules in all udev rule files are loaded in sequence and evaluated cumulatively.

All the fun commits for retrogaming will come with LibreELEC 8.0 (Krypton) builds; alphas will start soon.

**chewitt** · How do I update to beta ? **chewitt** April 18, 2016 at 3:57 AM

Beta Plan B – LibreELEC is the reason why hitting the button doesn't work

**chewitt** · blackscreen on video playback. **chewitt** April 17, 2016 at 2:10 PM

Apparently we are missing squash: initialise error term to zero · popcornmix/xbmc@7367c17 · GitHub so this will be resolved in the next (probably final) release.

**chewitt** · Openelec user want to migrate **chewitt** April 17, 2016 at 1:54 PM

The Amlogic hardware scene is fragmented with a ton of different devices and there is patchy upstream Linux support from Amlogic (who focuses on Android) so "it boots and can run Kodi" is not always an indication of "will run Kodi really well" and we care deeply about doing things well. There is also the piracy problem. There are "MX" boxes and there are 100+ knock-offs of MX boxes and I'd guess about 99% of the MX boxes in circulation have not paid licensing fees to Dolby etc. and the Chinese manufacturers churning clones out in volume are the same folk who will helpfully pre-install OpenELEC with 100+ "free streaming" plugins and sell them in bulk to the eBay sellers. It's really a shame as we work closely with Alex on many other things; but the piracy issues around a general purpose Amlogic project are a barrier to moving things forwards. LibreELEC will be happy to work with reputable box manufacturers with properly licensed and supported Amlogic-based products, but those are a minority..

Credit goes to kszaq for submitting the changes to build these properly

Nailig: If you looked in settings you'd have found options to load flash and widevine, but I guess this just proves a conversation I had in team chat the other night about users not noticing the options available. In future versions we'll probably remove the options and pre-embed everything.

Just curious why no Rpi ? it was the same for OE as well

Chromium requires Xorg so it's only available on Generic.
