BTRFS has some nice features, but 99.999% of our users would have no clue why they're nice or how to use them, and attempting to expose them in a noob-friendly way requires complexity that we don't need for our "fairly dumb Kodi client" use-case. LE (and OE before) have a long-history of applying the Star Trek principle of "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" when it comes to adding niche things.

NB: I think we bumped the kernel and other plumbing things several times since the things in @lrusaks repo were compiled, so that's probably why the add-on in his repo stopped working. If you know how to self-build an LE image it should be "PROJECT=Blah ARCH=Blah scripts/create_addon nameofaddon" to create an up-to-date version.

It could be a long-ish wait as Krypton won't release for a while yet, but the Alpha builds are pretty stable on pi devices.

**chewitt** · NUC no TV output **chewitt** August 20, 2016 at 1:49 PM

Code

xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 0xe0

I'm wondering if that results in output? (59.94) and if that works, try the "0x48" mode (60.00) again.

I removed the URL from the post because the build you linked is for imx6 not RPi2

**chewitt** · NUC no TV output **chewitt** August 20, 2016 at 8:05 AM

Can someone share output from "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | paste" and "/usr/lib/kodi/kodi-xrandr | paste" please. It has nothing to do with Kodi itself so debug logs from that aren't going to reveal anything. It's mostly likely to be related to the Intel driver in the Kernel.

It's odd. Directory/file perms for WP and Generic (which I use daily) are the same and there's nothing in the server logs aside from a record of the same 403 error. Can you do "cat /etc/os-release | paste" and share the URL pls.

milhouse also builds Generic for about ~1yr

Code

wget http://addons.libreelec.tv/8.0/WeTek_Play/arm/audiodecoder.asap/audiodecoder.asap-1.1.0.zip

does that work? - it does for me

As long as you don't change the distro name in a custom build you should be able to access add-ons. Can one of you PM me your public IP address so I can check the server logs. Thanks.

We're aware of the problem, but not sure on the solution yet. Thanks for the report.

Code

cat /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log | paste

Enable Kodi debug logging then reboot, demo the problem and run via SSH; share the URL here so we can see the log of the problem.

I'll keep researching and playing (Im a carpenter by trade) so coding is very new to me. But I am a hobbyist

Frequent contributors to the project include a paramedic and an airline pilot, so being a carpenter is no handicap!

There are no plans to officially use or encourage the use of BTRFS so no plans to add the management tools to our repo. Have you tried installing @lrusak's repo and installing it from there?

**chewitt** · USB 3.0 Controler for LibreElec? **chewitt** August 16, 2016 at 5:57 PM

To actually check you'd need to provide us with the USB controller name/version so we can compare against the Linux kernel, but a) I doubt you can find any devices advertised with those details, b) It would a very dull exercise to do the check (not many volunteers) and c) any cheap add-on board you find is going to use the cheapest commodity chips, which practically guarantees they will be widely used and supported.

So, get a board and be amazed that it just works. Probably

I'm not disputing that this is your experience. I'm simply stating this is not the normal experience. Let's see the logs

**chewitt** · Speed up playback **chewitt** August 16, 2016 at 3:02 PM

The feature is still in active development and the code for it has not been merged yet. It looks like milhouse test builds are building with the proposed code added, so you can run those and it should be available.

**chewitt** · Kodi log uploader error **chewitt** August 16, 2016 at 6:11 AM

That doesn't explain why it cannot access our add-ons site. I think you still have an underlying network issue (in your network).
