About 1400 years ago a bloke said "we have two lives, and the 2nd begins when we realize we only have one"

They should wake up and stop wasting their own time

Thanks for that, I'll leave it on TMDB TV show Scraper .. BTW this anyone getting Chinese instead of English on this forum?

Latest posts etc on this forum are written in Chinese??

It seems to be spreading to new posts on this forum only... it's nowhere else, not on any other forums etc

This forum seems to be compromised big time???

Scanning new video with The TVDB crashes to a black screen with a tiny curser like spot in the middle of the screen

this lasts for a few seconds, the screen then returns to home

I changed scraper in TV Info/content to TMDB TV show Scraper and all's okay

Changed my O/S from USB to SSD

When I did LibreELEC USB/SD Creator is still a hit & miss situation with the 93% error

It's funny that it worked 1st time on LE 8.2.5 but when I changed to LE 9.0.2 93% error showed up

Rufus seems to be far more reliable

Summary on the synchonization software

Resilio Sync and Syncthing were not very easy to use and were here and there a bit complex in setting up sync's

But they both had different situations where they just didn't work at all

After googling around at free and paid synchonization software I tried out EverySync from easeus

If they were smart they should rename it EasySync, because it is almost too easy to use

Syncing folders on the Topfield, LibreELEC, network drives, etc was just plain easy and very quick to set up

I try to use open source software where I can, but ended up paying $16.59 (AU) for it

I try to use open source software where I can, and I don't have any affiliation with easus (this is the first thing I've ever bought of them)

This thread is resolved

Iridium

Thanks for the suggestion

qnapclub had their versions of syncthing mixed up

I got it working on my server off a version meant for a different model

Docker image for Resilio Sync that is

Qnap no longer have syncthing ..

found 3rd party version (QPKG) from qnapclub but it stops at 45%

Installed okay on Synology

I'll try docker image

can Resilio Sync free be added to LibreELEC with putty?

I'll agree though .. that it was a bad mistake on the HTPC!

Sorry

But I can't do without CUDA

As suggested .. I'll leave the GTX 1050 in my LE / HTPC, at least until LibreELEC 10.0 has been out and about for a while

the HD 7770 / Q8400, etc is all going into a DIY box with LibreELEC 8.2.5 as a give away

a GTX 1660Ti is now in my new desktop rig

Operating system: LibreELEC (official): 8.2.5 (kernel: Linux 4.11.12)

GPU: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CAPE VERDE (DRM 2.49.0 / 4.11.12, LLVM 3.9.0)

Screen resolution: [email protected] - Full screen

Screen resolution: [email protected] - Full screen

OpenGL vendor: X.Org

OpenGL version: 3.0 Mesa 17.1.3

GPU temperature: 40°C

LibreELEC on the 4K TV was slow to load up on boot & also slow to shut down

One & only oddity was when using the remote control the gui swish sound would echo if pressed in quick succession

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/unified_video_decoder/ your link did not work

this one does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/unified_video_decoder

Used 3 video samples 1x4K H265 & 2x1080p H265 tested each one for 15 minutes

all played okay, the 4K H265 @30Hz had a barely detectable slight judder on some fast moving scenes, and audio was also lower ..

.. when set via LE to 1080p it played A/R perfectly as did the others

libreELEC's information on all 3 samples was H265

NAS used does not do any video transcoding

4K TV showed [email protected] & [email protected] respectively

Installed LibreELEC 8.2.5 on the Q8400 cpu with the HD7770 video card connected via HDMI to 4K TV

both ran at 40-44°C with cpu at 40-60% load

VDPAU was shown as preferred, I changed it to VAAPI .. but didn't detect any difference

the 4K H265 video I tested could only play 4K at [email protected]

changed resolution to Full HD [email protected]

audio thru HDMI was lower with the [email protected] resolution

HD 7770 handles nothing about HEVC

Checked out VLC media info whilst playing video

Codec: MPEG-H Part2/HEVC (H.265) (hevc)

MB: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3LR

CPU: [email protected] / 4gb ram

HD 7770 Cape Verde XT

Display: 1440x900 60Hz

OS: Trinity Desk Enviroment, a Unix like System based on Linux

Maybe VLC knows it's origins but HD 7770 plays without knowing?

It does play perfectly with VLC Media Player

Quote from chewitt

but GTX1050 is nVidia so it will not be supported in LE10

That's why I was going to use the GTX 1050 in a new (non-HTPC) desktop PC

but I just don't know whether I need a low, mid or high falluting AMD card for LE10.

The lower end NVIDIA, the GTX 1050, handles all my current needs (4K, upscale, x265 hevc, etc)

so will it's equal from AMD, the RX 560, have the same capabilities but with also the support for LE10?

I just don't know much about AMD cards.

The old HD 7770 handles x265 hevc on a 1440x900p monitor(DVI), but I've heard that it needs a DP to HDMI 2.0 adapter to play 4K, and I don't think it will upscale or handle a large 4K OLED screen.
