pastebin a debug log with additional http logging please

**chewitt** · HDD mount problem with rpi **chewitt** June 19, 2016 at 3:23 PM

Do a clean boot, and with the drive not visible, run "eject /dev/sr0" via SSH. Does the drive appear?

**chewitt** · vnc addon **chewitt** June 18, 2016 at 4:15 AM

I'd guess not as dispmamnx (vnc for pi) is already in the repo. Did OE have an x11 addon?

**chewitt** · adding libreelec to android tv box **chewitt** June 17, 2016 at 2:30 AM

LE will not run on this hardware for a multitude of reasons. The main one being that Linux Kodi has never been ported for Rockchip stuff.

**chewitt** · CEC key repeat settings for LibreELEC 8 **chewitt** June 15, 2016 at 2:36 PM

It's a known but currently unresolved issue. It affects all/most remotes and is not CEC specific.

**chewitt**

Have you enabled "show parent folder items" in Kodi settings? .. that's what normally controls the presence of .. navigation

**chewitt** · Invalid argument **chewitt** June 15, 2016 at 12:02 PM

It shouldn't have anything to do with characters in the password .. that bug was fixed back in OE 3.x days. It's more likely to be related to the radio config of the wireless network [which is unknown] and what the [unknown] driver supports.

**chewitt** · LibreELEC 8 Test Builds Wetek Play **chewitt** June 14, 2016 at 6:43 PM

The next round of official Alpha builds (v7.90.003) should include WP/WC devices now that PR has been merged. I'd guess 003 will be along in 7-10 days depending on what else gets commited to the master branch .. and some basic sanity testing.

**chewitt** · [SOLVED] Building MakeMkv within LE **chewitt** June 13, 2016 at 3:03 AM

The old OE package has two PKG_URL's and as the error clearly states we no longer support that in package.mk files. You'll either have to create two separate packages (one dependent on the other) and do some funky things to manage the interdependencies. Another approach would be to download the second file during post_unpack() or similar.

**chewitt** · Other services: OpenHab **chewitt** June 12, 2016 at 6:42 PM

There is no apt-get on LibreELEC so you can forget that option. Your choices are a) develop your own OpenHab add-on using the existing add-ons in our repo as a template (if you have developer skills and can figure out our build system) .. or b) find an aarch64 compatible OpenHab docker container. I'm not sure if wrxtasy has compiled the docker add-on for his C2 LibreELEC 7.0 builds, but it should be available for LibreELEC 8.0 alpha builds in the near future.

**chewitt** · LAN Access Only **chewitt** June 12, 2016 at 12:59 PM

Nothing in Kodi polls/checks for metadata unless you scrape content to the library or install certain add-ons, so a) don't scrape anything, b) you can disable any of the embedded scraper services from within Kodi, c) don't install those add-ons, d) stop doing the presumably illegal things that would raise concerns about being tracked. Having a normal networking config (e.g. with gateway) allows NTP to work so the system clock is accurate (an issue on pi which has no RTC) and harmless services like the Yahoo weather to update GUI icons.

**chewitt** · tvheadend, ATSC and epg... **chewitt** June 10, 2016 at 7:33 PM

edit4ever: Please consider submitting your add-on to the Kodi repo (or ours, or host your own) so it's simple for users to install and keep current.

**chewitt** · LE8 - ALSA configuration file **chewitt** June 10, 2016 at 7:11 PM

Kodi introduced AudioEngine about 3 versions back which enumerates the hardware itself and negates the need for asound.conf files. Hence there's no need for one in the default image. It's only needed in niche use-cases like yours. If the file has to exist before that command can save to it, just "touch /storage/.config/asound.conf" and carry on..

**chewitt** · Sponsor / Donate Button **chewitt** June 9, 2016 at 9:37 AM

It's either something funky in the interwebs or it's time to perform your annual clearing of browser cache. I click it and I get the donation page, no problems. Thanks for donating btw

**chewitt** · Domoticz Addon **chewitt** June 9, 2016 at 4:54 AM

Code

docker pull homeassistant/home-assistantdocker run -d --name="home-assistant" -v /storage/home-assistant/config:/config -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --net=host homeassistant/home-assistant

It took ~5 mins to download/unpack. Seems to up and running fine on my x86_64 machine. I reckon it's time to go build a stripped back version of LE to use for these things

**chewitt** · Viprvpn support **chewitt** June 8, 2016 at 1:24 PM

OpenVPN is embedded in LE so there is no need to install it (doing that probably installs something incompatible) and nothing we have created offers pre-configured support for "ViprVPN" so I guess this comes from an add-on. If that addon stopped working with the OE > LE change you need to go ask the add-on author/creator for support, not us. Does that make sense?

**chewitt** · Personal building **chewitt** June 8, 2016 at 3:36 AM

The core OS is the same for both distributions, but the "application" (them: OpenPHT, us: Kodi) is different. AFAIK you cannot install Kodi addons in Plex.

**chewitt** · Personal building **chewitt** June 7, 2016 at 5:34 PM

Both Rasplex (OpenPHT) and the official Plex distro for pi are now based on LE, we've been working together .. but LE assumes that there is only one mediacentre application running full-screen. In theory you could combine both apps into one image, but even if you did they would run discretely and you'd need to figure out the window management. You don't just add LiveTV to Plex or transcoding to Kodi - serious coding work is required.

NB: The rule for these things; if you need to ask how it's done you won't succeed. If you have the skills to succeed, our buildsystem already made sense to you and you're compiling something. It's a very arrogant statement (sorry) but experience also shows it's true.
