Keeping your operating system on the same drive as the data is not a good solution to begin with.

Perhaps enable the "Wait for network" option in the LibreELEC Settings Add-on. LibreELEC can boot pretty fast and "forget" about the network connection.

What do you mean? How do I do that?

See LMGTFY

Support will resume once you can provide a clean kodi.log file without any add-ons facilitating video piracy.

The disk usage drops when I stop the (idle) Plex container.

There are hdparm options in Linux, but if the Plex container remains that that active, I don't see hdparm as a solution.

Kodi itself only checks on HDD's during a skin refresh or actual library maintenance. During idle, the HDDs should be able to go sleep, unless there are more processes going on in the background.

Perhaps a 60 second time-out is enough? Otherwise provide the kodi.log file.

Host 'pi-wohnzimmer.fritz.box' is not allowed to connect to this MariaDB server

I thought that outside access to the MariaDB Server was granted by default?

You could double-check by accessing the mysql tables via a SSH session:

mysql -u kodi -p
USE mysql;
SELECT Host,User FROM user WHERE User="kodi"; 
+------+------+
| Host | User |
+------+------+
| %    | kodi |
+------+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Although I do prefer to use IP addresses only myself instead of hostnames.

I don't have a RPi with the MariaDB server running here at the moment.

But please provide a link to the full kodi.log file, so we can perhaps see if something else needs adjusting.

Posting just one error is only an indicator, bugs/errors can start at any moment.

and i noticed that my device is NOT listening on port 3306?

It's possible it uses 3307 now, but I thought that 3306 was used a default. Perhaps vpeter changed the default port.

okay, my log looks like that:

Good to know that you can see your log file, because I cannot see anything from here.

If there is no advancedsettings.xml file, you will have to create it. It is not created for you by any add-on.

Quote from Anard

and LibreElec ask me for a thumbnail for each of these sources.

That's something that never happened to me before. Are you using a different skin or perhaps some kind of wizard? (The latter will possibly halt all support to you).

Quote from johannausrohan

is their any kind of manual for this?

Not really.

It is a setup that is 'as-minimal-as-possible'. Installing should create all default settings, databases, tables, views and triggers for both the video and the music database. If you restart LibreELEC, you can check the log file if you have correctly connected to the MySQL MariaDB server via the parameters in the advancedsettings.xml file. Go into the settings of the MariaDB Server add-on to change the initially created user/password combination.

Quote from yubby

Depending on the resolution 'chosen' (or selected during startup ?) the calibration settings are lost.

The fix for that will be in the next Kodi release. but again... I cannot understand why a new TV would need calibration. Either the TV gives a 1:1 pixel display, or you haven't set up your TV properly IMHO.

What about it?

There is an option in the LibreELEC Settings Add-on called "Wait for Network". Set it to 30 seconds, and reboot LibreELEC.

LibreELEC tends to start so fast it forgets about network connections.

An empty link to pastebin.com won't help either.

It doesn't matter where you get your playlists from. We basically don't even care which repos and add-ons you put on your Kodi device.

But for certain repos and add-ons, we and team Kodi chose to NOT give support, as per forum rules. See the Piracy Policy section.

I think you've set up your harddisk share the wrong. Meaning, the RPi shouldn't act as a file server. The RPI itself should be a Kodi client, and get its files via the network. It also has a flawed 100Mb/s port, as the RPi hardware isn't capable of sustaining the full network throughput.

Your Ubuntu machine is much more capable of serving files. I've been running XBMC and Kodi for some 7 years problem-free now with Ubuntu as file servers. I am using NFS though, not SMB by the way.

Quote from cavallino2004

I'm waiting for news.

Please note that repositories and add-ons such as "kodil" will stop our support to users that have such banned items installed.

As per forum rules, use of any type of add-ons that facilitate video piracy will immediately halt support here. You can either present the log file of a problematic but clean Kodi / LibreELEC setup, or you can find your support elsewhere outside this forum.
