  • Norton Warning for this Website

    Quote from doggyofone

    Ok, so what is next?. Its my understanding that the owner/rep of the website has to contact Norton. I'm a user so I doubt that I have any say with Norton regarding status for Libreelec.

    There are 3 parts here :
    1. A customer who paid a company for a service
    2. A company which is paid to deliver a service
    3. A website which is not paid and do no pay for a service

    I fail to understand why 3. has to contact 2. to have 1. happy, unless 1. or 2. have paid 3. in the process...

  • Samba package build

    No, but I'm building Kodi without built-in samba client and this prevents building OS samba client/server :

    Code
    olivier@backup:~$ fgrep -r samba LibreELEC.tv/packages/ | grep DEPENDS
LibreELEC.tv/packages/mediacenter/kodi/package.mk:  PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET="$PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET samba"

    and

    Code
    if [ "$KODI_SAMBA_SUPPORT" = yes ]; then
  PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET="$PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET samba"
  KODI_SAMBA="-DENABLE_SMBCLIENT=ON"
else
  KODI_SAMBA="-DENABLE_SMBCLIENT=OFF"
fi

    So this is the only way to build the samba package.

  • Samba package build

    I noticed that the samba package is not built unless KODI_SAMBA_SUPPORT is set to yes.
    SAMBA_SUPPORT="yes" and SAMBA_SERVER="yes" have no effect if KODI_SAMBA_SUPPORT="no"

    My workaround is to add

    Code
    if [ "$SAMBA_SERVER" = "yes" ] || [ "$SAMBA_SUPPORT" = "yes" ]; then
  PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET="$PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET samba"
fi


    at the end of packages/virtual/network/package.mk

    If this is the right way to do and that was forgotten then can it be added please ?

  • Iperf3

    Yes it can if you know an external iperf3 server listening somewhere. See iPerf - Public iPerf3 servers

  • Iperf3

    Well for iperf3 it's not iperf but iperf3 :P
    and, as a side note, on LibreELEC the server is listening to a non-default port, so the right command is :

    Code
    iperf3 -c 192.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 5201

    Edit: Seems that port 5201 is now the default one with iperf3, so the -p 5201 is useless.

  • Scheduled backups

    Quote from ozolli


    Hi,
    Could you add /storage/.profile to the backup and restore list please ?

    Edit: I added

    Code
    if os.path.exists("/storage/.profile"):
                    tar.add("/storage/.profile")


    After line 903 in service.libreelec.settings/resources/lib/modules/system.py and it did the trick.

    Actually I found a way to have a .profile file surviving a backup/restore using a dummy addon.
    At startup LE looks for /storage/.kodi/addons/*/profile.d/*.profile (in /etc/profile.d/00-addons.conf).
    So the content of, for example, /storage/.kodi/addons/user/profile.d/user.profile will be read and applied, and this file will be saved and restored.

    Worth noting that /storage/.kodi/addons/user/bin will be added to the PATH variable at startup so is a nice place for your own scripts.

    Sort of a dirty hack but I'm fine with it ;)
