Ah sorry. I assumed you knew there was some software for Windows that writes a libreelec image onto an SD card.

It's even official software made by libreelec.

I know there is that. It is called the "LibreELEC USB-SD Creator tool". It is not LibreELEC itself.

This tool you can use (or any other disk image writing software) to transfer the LibreELEC disk image onto a USB stick or SD card. Once you have booted that USB stick or SD card, you can install LibreELEC onto the storage device of your choice: another USB stick or SD Card, or the internally connected HDD or SSD of your PC.

However I think you're trying to be clever.

People mentioning video piracy add-ons like Seren have that effect on me.

Hense *libreelec software for Windows*

It's "Hence". It's still not LibreELEC itself.

Google it

One tip: don't piss off the guys that have the forum user nuke button in their reach.

There is no such thing as "LibreELEC for Windows".

Either you boot LibreELEC from a USB device (stick/sd), or you do a portable install of Kodi onto the SD card and create a shortcut to it.

Anything is possible, but there are no promises. Kodi 19 is the current version.

with only my mobile

If you have (Android/iOS?) software that can write disk images to an SD card, then yes.

Installing an add-on, using a web browser.. Way too much work!

Quote from Redkoatz

I guess also seren has started being buggy probably due to the newest update.

Do not come to the LibreELEC or Kodi forums while using add-ons that are facilitating video piracy.

Support to you will be immediately halted. Read the forum rules (again) if something is unclear in that area.

Quote from Mindwave

Anyone?

The simplest way of CLI access is via remotely logging in using SSH.

Credentials: root / libreelec

Because we simply got fed up with them, they were a choice when we couldn't think of some other representative picture/subject. LibreELEC is not really a cat product. Maybe we should start a competition where users can make suggestions.

What would be the appropriate forum, "General Support" ?

There is no specific subforum for Raspberry Pi, so yes the General Support section is fine.

Quote from svenfoo

or am I just missing a setting, a firmware update, anything else to fix video playback?

I didn't hear any problems during internal testing, and I also didn't see any impossible hiccups. So your video files must be special.

Open a thread in the appropriate forum section with all possible details, logs, et cetera.

any thoughts on why xenon build not working

You will have to ask the people that developed the xenon build.

On the LibreELEC and Kodi forums, you will get no support for add-ons that facilitate video piracy.

It's in our forum rules which you accepted when registered at this forum.

2021-05-19 16:31:56.453 T:4796 INFO <general>: Running on Hardkernel ODROID-N2Plus with CoreELEC (official): 19.1-Matrix, kernel: Linux ARM 64-bit version 4.9.113

Interesting... Asking support on the LibreELEC forum when you have CoreELEC running on your device

Perhaps the TV stumbles on multiple devices having the same CEC name ("Kodi").

Or it's necessary for each device to lock on their specific TV HDMI port.

What is the specific need for ASS subtitles? Probably for anime videos only..?

Just use normal .srt subs for now. They work fine.

Kindly refrain from using video piracy add-ons when asking for support.

As per our forum rules, Kodi setups with add-ons facilitating video piracy will not be given support.

So either remove them (displayed in orange) or find your support elsewhere.

It's not likely the source of your CEC issue, but rules are rules.

It's nothing personal, it's just "company policy".

By the way, the URLs for both your first and second log are identical.

Is that the words I need?
'file server' ?

I read "ITX" and 2 RPi's, and thought 1+1+1= ... It's a habit I guess.

But sometimes a separate RPI "server" is handy. I still use an original RPi 1B as my Pi-Hole anti-ad solution for the whole network. Of course you could combine several tasks into 1 overall device, but RPis are low-powered. The example I tend to use is from the 3-in-1 box from back in the days: a radio + amplifier + record player all in one cabinet. If one of those parts goes kaputt, the whole cabinet needs to go to the repair shop.

Of course you can run multiple stuff on a tiny server such as a RPi, just make sure you have proper backups of everything. And using already available hardware like HDDs is obvious, and gives a great oppertunity to test what software combinations suits you best. A spinning HDD can create some heat depending on its usage. Notebook HDDs are designed to handle higher temps. But if the hdd is too hot to handle, that's not a good thing.

Quote from Grarea

Or does it push the pi too much?

The RPi4 as a file server can do that all while it's in dreamland.

Personally I'd stay away from DLNA/UPnP, too much of a hassle.

Next question is what to use as a file server.

You could use LibreELEC and its built-in SMB server,

but you could also use Raspberry Pi OS or Ubuntu (Server), if you also want to use/try NFS or something else.

Using a 2.5" HDD is one thing, I'd go for a SSD with a SATA/USB3.0 adapter cable.

Less noise, no overheating issues, less power draw, less chance of a disk failure, no spinup/spindown problems.

Simple SSDs are pretty cheap these days.

Yes. It's being tested internally by the team at the moment.
