  • RSS Feeds still OpenELEC

    At some point in the past you editted the RSS feed via Kodi GUI and this copied the embedded /usr/share/kodi/userdata/RssFeeds.xml that contained a reference to OE's RSS feed to the userdata location of /storage/.kodi/userdata/RssFeeds.xml. As we don't forcibly check/edit userdata files during the update process the reference to the OE feed persists. If you check the embedded file location when running LE you will that LE does not publish an equivalent feed; because we don't have a feed and in LE builds the default is RSS disabled. You can solve the problem by editing the file :)

  • Differences between OE and LE?

    LE numbering schemes were thoroughly debated before starting official builds. There are pros/cons to following Kodi numbering, OE numbering, or starting over at 1.0. In the end the "least worst" option was continuing OE numbering but adding the Kodi release name to reduce confusion. Hence you will see "LibreELEC 7.0 (Jarvis)" and "LibreELEC 8.0 (Krypton)" used in anything official.

    An 64-bit RPi3 build will appear once the pi foundation release something. We're not expecting to see anything for a while yet.

  • Transmission not working after upgrade

    MrHaroldA. We value freedom, but it cuts both ways. You have the freedom to run whatever you like on your LE install. We have the freedom to set the rules of this forum and provide support based on the ethics and principles of the LE team. Just because we have "Libre" in our name does not mean we allow our forum to silently endorse add-ons like Superrepo that openly encourage the theft/piracy of copyrighted media.

  • Youtube addon

    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.

  • Installed on Nuc i3... -> FINE

    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.

  • Different Transmission

    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.

  • SMB version

    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 :)
