Please refrain yourself from mentioning banned and illegal video streaming add-ons, or URL links to questionable tutorials on the LibreELEC forum.

If that is a problem for you, your stay at this forum will be greatly shortened.

Forgot to ask: how will the S905X be infected?

I think you mean affected..

Apart from that: have a look here: Development Update – LibreELEC

Sorry, but the amount of information is too little to give a well-founded reply.

Which add-ons specifically are you referring to?

AMD graphics support has been a tombola for years, some cards work, some don't. All because AMD driver support for Linux was virtually non-existent for years. Things are changing for the newest AMD graphics, although you will need the newest Linux kernels & Mesa drivers.Yes, Nvidia has been VDPAU-friendly for years, but that will stop as per LibreELEC 10.

You can try Milhouse's Generic 'bleeding edge' build here.

It's a Sunday morning, we're all still sleepy.

Just curious,

When i upgrade this from Jarvis i know my database version will change.

After the change will that be also the final database version ?

Usually database changes will only happen in Alpha releases, but if there is a big boo-boo found, I guess there could a database update in Beta too. In Final, it would be exceptional.

my suggestion, is DO NOT install it to your pc hard drive, install Libreelec to a separate usb,

Tsss...

Well, yes, there is the occasional hiccup of accidentally formatting the whole target device, and consequently wiping the Windows installation off the HDD/SSD. But we only ask people THREE times if they know what they are doing.

I want to install libreelec on a pc, and it seems I have to download a bin file and run it?

I have no idea where you got that impression, but it simply doesn't work that way.

If you are still interested, you are welcome to ask questions.

BTW: if you are referring to the USB/SD Creator tool, yes, that is an executable .bin file

The problem I have is that I cannot make Kodi broadcast only the folder structure for browsing and playback.

You are already giving the answer to your own question:

Quote from bpr323

Note, that BubbleUPNP displays only what Kodi broadcasts across DLNA/UPNP network.

UPnP/DLNA in Kodi only provides the scraped items (video/music) which are in both libraries. It does not send out the folders and files themselves.

If you only want the folders and files, use a simple UPnP server like ReadyMedia (formerly MiniDLNA).

"Stop updating" sounds a bit crude, your machine will work, just not with LibreELEC 10+ as it stands right now. Most add-ons should still be available and update-able in a standalone solution upto Kodi 18, but people using shared SQL Kodi video/music libraries will not be happy, all "thanks" to Nvidia's change of direction in video drivers, there is currently no viable successor for its VDPAU driver in LibreELEC/Linux.

One alternative is a cheap Android box type of box, which performs pretty well these days graphics-wise. More and more support is in the pipeline as you already read in the new blog post.

I'd simply try a different SD card for now, something 4-8GB will do. Unless your RPi device has some sort of hardware issue, the Raspberry Pi image (the last stable or the latest Milhouse build) should have no trouble booting and rebooting as a clean setup

The key word being 'proper'?

A Raspberry Pi runs Kodi okay(ish).

If only all solutions would be so simple...

It's probably not the cheapest solution, but replacing your HDD with an SSD should solve that problem.

3.5 drives are bulkier, and 5900rpm versions tend to start slower than the 7200rpm ones.

Which type of hardware are you using for Kodi? RPi, PC, Android..?!?

Quote from hansolo77

Has this been reported and is a known issue with the beta?

Not without something that at least resembles like a kodi.log file.

Have a look here: Update LibreELEC [LibreELEC.wiki]

But be advised: alpha/beta builds are not stable builds. Bugs or other problems can hamper Kodi functionality.

1) If you are talking about updating a current LibreELEC setup, simply drop your other .tar or .img.gz file into the .update folder and reboot LibreELEC. You can either use the SMB connection to LibreELEC's shared folders, or via an SSH session to your NUC get the .tar directly via a wget download. Just make sure the file gets into the .update folder.

2) Milhouse does not do stable builds. He creates a "bleeding edge" testing ground for everything new to LibreELEC. If you want/need a stable release of LibreELEC, then stay away from Alpha or Beta builds, and stick to the official releases of LibreELEC.

Quote from pwntato

Just a question. Are devices like Intel Nuc completely out of the picture?

It depends on your 'use case'. Right now, AFAIK, hdr in Linux is still a work-in-progress (if at all). Other than that, it should be able to do 99% of all videos. A NUC tends to be a somewhat more powerful solution for heavy skins, also gigabit speeds and disk read/write speeds tend to be better. NUC components are still pretty expensive, for example DDR3/4 dimm prices.

On the other hand, the average cheap China box you can get now for the fraction of a NUC price, but they do underperform in certain areas. Video-wise, the price/quality factor is pretty good.
