Using /var/lock/lockdev is a bug in lirc 0.10.2 release archive.

As work around create a systemd drop in file to make the required directory:

[Service]
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/mkdir -p /var/lock/lockdev

See this post.

Kodi does support path substitution.

Yes.

Can confirm the issue when testing on KAVERI (another Sea Islands GPU)

error <general>: ffmpeg[0xc93ecf0]: [h264] Hardware does not support image size 1920x1088 (constraints: width 64-0 height 64-0).
error <general>: ffmpeg[0xc93ecf0]: [h264] Failed setup for format vaapi: hwaccel initialisation returned error.

Seem to be a kernel 6.6 radeon driver regression, when switching to amdgpu by adding

radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1

to the kernel parameters (APPEND line of /flash/syslinux.cfg) acceleration is working fine.

On kernel 6.11 of LE13 HW acceleration is working with both radeon and amdgpu.

For WIFI card see last paragraph in this post

Yes, but you have to read the other chapters below "Development" too.

After cloning the repo you need to prepare the source from the pull request:

git checkout -b my_addon_branch libreelec-12.0
wget -O - https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/9446.patch | git am

Then build the ntfs3g addon for your devive.

So, I installed that .img file, for LibreELEC 8.2.1, onto a new card, and placed the saved Confluence and Visualization folders into the .kodi/addons directory

After writing the image you have to boot LE once with unmodified second partition to get the partition expanded to full size.

You now do have only 32MB which get filled in almost no time.

They are part of the Installation Wizard running at first boot. They are activated if needed from the Python code.

Quote from Albert

Tell me if I can merge it or do I have to wait until it's official ?

You can build it yourself when having the environment (see Wiki). If not you have to wait.

See self.buttons in oeWindows.py

The ntfs-3g addon is currently only available for LE13. For LE12 it still need to be merged.

Quote from Albert

Moreover I notice that it disconnects and reconnects it quite often

This is likely a power issue. Does your powered USB hub still work as expected?

kszaq Don't play a number game ;-), iwd is telling us:

Working:

Oct 08 17:44:08.427889 LibreELEC iwd[428]: Wireless daemon version 2.22

Not working:

Oct 08 17:42:31.860171 LibreELEC iwd[429]: Wireless daemon version 3.0

And is then using SAE while rejecting before.

Service addon "ntfs-3g for udevil" is now available in repo for LE13 nightlys. Please test.

After installation ntfs-3g instead of ntfs3 is used to mount NTFS file systems like in older LE versions.

chewitt No idea, I did update ntfs-3g to the current version 2022.10.3 first. ntfsfix "only repairs some fundamental NTFS inconsistencies" and ntfsck is deprecated.

As said first step will be an addon allowing mounting with ntfs-3g.

I did a web search regarding ntfs-3g and ntfs3 mounts.

Result is that ntfs3 does ever refuse to mount a FS with dirty bit set whereas ntfs-3g only refuse to mount FS with "real" errors.

So for the user experience it is a regression because much more mounts fail after switching from ntfs-3g to ntfs3 mount.

A said in the Arch wiki an equivalent mount behavior require a combination of ntfsfix -d and mount -t ntfs3. But this require further tests to get the boundary conditions.

As a first step I will create a "NTFS-3g for udevil" addon (Coming Soon! :-)) that can be backported to LE12.

Latest (starting with 2024-10-25) LE12 nightly now include the dwmac-intel driver.
