  • Browser still missing on ARM? Please provide some kind of viable workaround!

    Quote from C0NPAQ

    Is there really no viable web browser, or any kind of insane-ish workaround hack, to display normal modern websites like Youtube or Facebook?

    I think you're missing the point of the whole LibreELEC/Kodi application.

    If you want to do your social media during a video, use your smartphone.

    Quote from C0NPAQ

    mean, in principle the box is running Linux and its just a matter of cross-compiling enough stuff to make Firefox run

    Well, if it that's easy... Why didn't we think of that?!?

    Quote from C0NPAQ

    I can't really express how important a browser is to any kind of modern media device. We all should know this?

    I call social media one of 21th century's addictions.

    Quote from C0NPAQ

    If nothing really works yet, then please which project in this direction is actively developed and promising and where to find it and help develop?

    Raspbian has some Chrome/Chromium-type web browser.

  • MMAL performance (on RPI2) - perfect in Openelec, unusable in Libreelec

    That should give us a bit more info to work with.

  • macOS file sharing

    Quote from Anard

    But in this case, I have to save in LE a couple user/password what I find unsecure.

    You already found out that only SMBv1 works in a certain situation. It's very possible that MacOS updated its Samba server settings to a SMBv2+ configuration, basically because SMBv1 is a network nightmare with more holes than a Swiss cheese. Try googling for "WannaCry" and see what the result of that hack/worm/virus was.

    Samba v2 and up does not allow for network browsing. You also need a user account with full credentials, login name and a password.

    So either you manage to have MacOS use SMBv1 as well, or you find a way to have all your network devices compatible with the more secure SMBv2 or higher.

    Alternatively, you can try setting your network up supporting NFS, which handles users in a different way. MacOS should be able to support that too.

  • Crashes during playback

    You are sadly yet another example of forum visitors that "accidentally" forgot to read our forum rules and pretends that everything should be allowed.

    Kodi has a zero tolerance stance on video piracy, so coming here with a log file with several repositories and ad-ons that are on Kodi's banned list (and therefore LibreELEC), is like asking the police why your gun isn't working anymore.

    In short: we don't offer any support to Kodi setups that have add-ons installed that provide video or music streams in an illegal manner. You will have to find your luck elsewhere.

  • MariaDB mysql server addon

    Importing went okay here via MySQL Workbench. I noticed that the LE MariaDB serve has a initial value for query_cache_limit of 128K ? Perhaps try 256K next. Although the MariaDB server default setting in Ubuntu 18.04.1 for query_cache_limit is 1MB.

  • MariaDB mysql server addon

    I think I've found it. I installed MariaDB on a Ubuntu 18.04.1 machine, and doubled the cache settings.

    Updated the /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf file with:

    # * Query Cache Configuration

    query_cache_limit = 2M (was 1)

    query_cache_size = 32M (was 16)

    The episode_view query now raps it up in 0,223 secs for 9320 records from a remote MySQL client.

    I'm gonna try to change settings on LibreELEC's MariaDB server now. :)

  • MariaDB mysql server addon

    Found the culprit so far with MariaDB 10.3.12:

    Code
    12:11:59.127 T:140109139670784   DEBUG: RunQuery took 39317 ms for 6538 items query: select * from episode_view  WHERE ((episode_view.dateAdded > '2012-01-01')) AND ((episode_view.playCount IS NULL OR episode_view.playCount < 1))

    If this is to blame on MySQL Workbench for doing the export/import MariaDB, we'll find out after rescraping into a fresh/clean database. I have to do a updated video library export first.

  • Slowdowns with i3-2100

    Quote from bmnx

    some kind of slowdown while playing.

    There is no crystal ball here, so nothing can be said before we have a proper kodi.log file... :)

    Try play files as clean as possible directly from a local source, and with the i3 connected directly to your TV.

    Please provide a full debug log.

    How to post a log (wiki)

    1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
    2. Restart Kodi
    3. Replicate the problem
    4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

    use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

  • MariaDB mysql server addon

    vpeter FYI, I just installed the MariaDB server add-on a Generic PC setup, and all is well for one thing again: the query for the "Recently added episodes" takes some 20 seconds to display their icon thumbs on Kodi's main screen. :-|

    Is it possible to update the server MariaDB add-on to v10.3.12? Who knows it'll fix it. Right now, Team Kodi is not in the happiest of moods of keeping up SQL db support.

    EDIT: CvH just started compiling the updated version.

  • 1 minute booting time

    I as a non-developer (but tester) can see the various time steps, and none seem really out of place. but I also really don't have

    Also, any SSD will also easily outrun a 7200rpm HDD ;)

    Since the Kodi Leia builds, Libreelec has a waiting/time-out period in the boot up of a Generic x86-64 PC of approx 5-8 seconds, also while "Waiting for network" is active. I have a Celeron 1037 machine with an SSD on which this delay is some 14-15 seconds. Kodi itself is initialized in 3 seconds on the Celeron box, so 18 seconds in total...

    I already pointed this out to lrusak , but nothing came out of it so far.

  • Delay >30s for the first video play

    Quote from Soapy Smith

    When I play a movie from a hard drive that is asleep it takes about 30 seconds for the movie to start.

    Surprising... having to wait for a movie that resides on a harddrive that is hibernating. :)

    I don't know why it takes longer than the harddrive to wake up, but Kodi was never designed for snoring storage solutions. It expects to have access 24/7 to a usb or nas device drive.
