Not me. Ubuntu is my daily driver.
Sorry for my misinterpretation. CDEX, although opensource, seems to be a windows app.
Not really. Kodi (and LibreELEC) is designed to be a application CLIENT. It is not meant to be a server. It does have SMB because Windows supports it basically as its only sharin, Linux can do both SMB and NFS quite easily. NFS server is not implement in LE because it would add to LibreELEC becoming bloated.
I don't have a problem with this, I just think it's easier to mount a directory structure from a nfs-server on linux then from a SMB server. My LE box has it own hdd, so I have to put files on it on regular base. And yes it would be easier to put everything on my PC or a NAS and serve it to LE. But I'm kind of a low electricity consumer nerd and don't want to run a extra device just to watch a movie.
Probably nfs would indeed just taking space on 90% of the LE-devices.

Personally I have never used that option in Kodi (or XBMC), not in the least because there are far better CD ripping applications available, such as CDex. After that, Kodi can import simply 'scrape' the .mp3 files in the usual manner.
Seems like most of the LE team is using windows as main OS. Now I understand why nfs-server in LE isn't available. As linux user it's a lot user friendly to use nfs over smb and probably more secure also. (totally off-topic, I know...)

I would mention jernej , unbeleivable how helpfull and calm he always is!

Please help me man!
First of all follow the wiki to get a build environment: Compile [LibreELEC.wiki] -> Stop at "Choose the PROJECT and ARCH to compile"
If you have done that, you should have a directory structure that is the same as the LE github page: GitHub - LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv: Just enough OS for KODI
What jernej is trying to tell you is:
-> Add correct lines to scripts/uboot_helper: open the folder scripts and search the file uboot_helper.
example: LibreELEC.tv/uboot_helper at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
In this file you will see all supported allwinner boards. Add the lines for your board. The correct name should be the same of the linux dts file and adjust it to resemble the other lines in the file. Look here: linux/arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner at master · torvalds/linux · GitHub
-> You have to create H2 section and add your board. Then copy project/Allwinner/devices/H3 to H2. After that, you're on your own:
go to your start directoy and browse to the folder /projects/allwinner/devices/
example: LibreELEC.tv/projects/Allwinner/devices at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
Make a new folder for H2 and copy the stuff from inside H3 to the new H2 folder.
Proceed the wiki Compile [LibreELEC.wiki] starting from
"Choose the PROJECT and ARCH to compile" and use the allwinner H3 example as base. Should be something like this:
CodePROJECT=Allwinner ARCH=arm DEVICE=H2 UBOOT_SYSTEM=(your_board_name_from_uboot_helper) make image
No guarantee it will work so from there you are on your own.
If this is all to complicated, buy yourself a new board that is supported.

I want to do a PR; I only never done it before, so I have to find out how to do it first.

See attachement,
I tested a 32GB Pine64 emmc and the 64GB odroid emmc. The result is really disappointing. The pine64 emmc is slightly faster but it's not even 44MB/sec.
-
No problem, will do it this evening.
-
it's orange odroid 64GB emmc for odroid_N2. I just checked the odroid N2 dtb and indeed mmc-hs200-1_8v; should be enough. I can't read what's on the chip, the kids took my magnifier and I don't find it. I will ask them tomorrow because they are already sleeping.

Jernej,
herewith the diff.

Thanks for the DTS patch. I was invetsigating the pind-H64 regulators, but it seems everything was already implemented in the dts. So the patch of Jernej for the Tanix-tx6 was not necesaary for the pine-h64.
I implemented your patch in the sun50i-h6.dtsi; but for some reason I get a error message when I try to compile my dtb. It has nothing to do with the patch, probably there are some packages missing in my build environment. This evening I give it another try.
Edit: Managed to build the dtb and it boots fine now. Thanks a lot for the patch!

I understand, but what makes the pinetab so nice is that you can switch a OS by only throwing in another µSD-card. So If you want to run your media isolated from your other stuff, you can use a LibreElec SD-card. Or you want to play your ancient games through a emulator and you need the maximum of the resources to play them full speed, you can use Lakka. If you have a home party and you want to control your music with your tablet without the risc visitors start sniffing in your personal documents you can use a squeesebox OS.
Maybe my point is not so clear, but I have a LibreElec-box connected to my TV. Why didn't I put a ordinary PC next to my TV with Kodi installed?
-
Can I find somewhere some documentation how to properly specify regulators? Is it related to the type of eemc or the size or the board?

Jernej,
I have a problem with odroid emmc on the pineH64. It gives this message during boot: sunxi-mmc 4022000.mmc: data error, sending stop command
I see you fixed it for the Tanix T6 with this patch:

We have provided more information on this in our privacy policy.But I don't find this patch in your LibreElec patches for Allwinner H6, only this one: LibreELEC.tv/13-Tanix-TX6.patch at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
The LE patches are only patches for the dts of the Tanix TX6, does this mean if I apply these patches in the pineH64 dts, the board will boot from emmc? Probably it's a better fix that enables the HS DDR mode?
-
OK,
so not necessary to do a poll?
Otherwise I remove it.

As the PineTab is available for pre-order, I wonder if there is any interest from the LE-userbase to have LE running on the PineTab.
The main reason for me to get LE on the PineTab is the kids. So they can watch some movies, read a comic, listen to music or podcast in the car. LE is easy to set-up, play's almost all formats, connects to a lot of server protocols (when you put a little dlna server in the car, with those mobile routers).
But probably other people have other reason's.
On the other hand, everybody has already a tablet and is not waiting for a second tablet with (to be honest) low specs running a unknown OS. So LE would be a great selling point, especially for this price point.

I don't have this problem. Go to Index of / and choose the image you need.

This is really good news, thanks for sharing and thanks to Martin for not giving up and all the invested hours.
It's realy stunning: the latest kernel, lima and a pre-alpha kodi!
