There's not, but what kind of interface would you need?

I could easily extend the existing API. That would provide a good separation from my addon if you're planning on sharing it.

Could easily shove a function for you to call in one of the libs modules.

Or could use a property on the home window, but this wouldn't check to see the connection was still alive before reporting it (which may not be necessary if this is happening frequently enough via the service)

Whatever the VPN info dialog calls to display the DNS and IP address can you use the same call for skin someway?

I don't know much about APIs unfortunately only know about skinning.

A home property or function would be good to test.

Thanks

Hi zomboided

Great add-on thanks.

I would like to have a display of my current vpn IP in my skin.

Is there a function I can use in my skin to get and display the current vpn IP address.

I know I can map a button to display a VPN info dialog but would like to have the IP permanently displayed on Bottom corner of screen.

Thanks for any info

Hi all, i've an "Alfawise H96 pro +" a 3Gb DDR4 device, i'm using Libreelec for S912 from first release.

When the the use of a new DTB was mandatory, i've downloaded the new DTB from devices tree (gigabit Lan and 3GB ram), but i've lost all images until libreelec starts.

Also during an update, i've about 10 minutes of black screen (no more messages of updating kernel and so on).

Once boot finish, all is ok.

So is a problem of my DTB? I've also extracted a DTB from android 7.1 images for this box, but the problem is the same.

On another box (a Beelink GT1) i've no problem, i see the boot messages or libreelec logo.

Anyone has some idea or suggestions?

this is my current dtb

Hi gulp

I noticed the missing s912 and librelec boot logo while using my Panasonic plasma screen. It would show blank until the Kodi splash screen.

Using the same setup on my Toshiba LCD and the boot logos showed fine.

So if you could try on a different TV seems to be TV settings issue.

Hi kszaq

Well it seems the read only errors are gone when i use the usb instead of the micro sd slot.

So atleast can get it up and running.

I'm wondering if i add more usb devices to the box (harddrive ,dvb tuners) will it slow down performance if they are all sharing same usb bandwidth?

I'll play around and test.

Thanks to bubblegum57 for the usb suggestion.

Pelican you should try a usb drive instead of sd card if you still encounter the read only errors

Cheers guys

If the card cannot be read in Android, it may suggest an issue with card reader in your box. Is any other card readable/writeable in Android?

Well I guess the box reader is fine. If I insert a blank SD card into slot can open it in android and view transfer files.

I was hoping bummblegum could confirm if it is a box or card issue as he has same box.

I will try usb method in morning see if that makes difference.

Pelican you still getting the read only errors? You mentioned you had success from updating 8.1.1 to 8.1.7 transferring files is this still the case.

Does 8.1.6 give you the read only errors. This version worked fine with me.

Quote from bubblegum57

I would zero fill the sd card with Low Level Format and zero-filling before writing the image, with rufus, selecting dd from the drop down menu.

Well i tried multiple sd cards with 8.1.7 image with same read error results.

Using 8.1.6 on these cards work fine so i think maybe can rule out card issue.

I was hoping to see if you had read errors on your sd card that would of have confirmed things, Just pity it had to jack up at the same time lol

If you ever get the sd card slot working again try transferring files to storage or install addons.

I suppose i could see if have one of those usb sd card readers laying around see if card works through usb.

Quote from kszaq

the_bo Are you able to check if your SD card with LE is writeable in Android?

If i try open 8.1.7 LE sd card in android its asks to format.

I think this occurs even with the working 8.1.6 also.

Quote from bubblegum57

I just let it boot up, luckily for me, it now doesn't recognise the sd & boots from usb

Have you tried using coreftp lite to copy files?

Yeah cant transfer any files or install anything read only error. I'll try usb method to see.

Quote from bubblegum57

usb port, right hand side rear. Haven't tried others.

good news, it boots from sd card, added gxm_q200_2g device tree

bad news, my sd card is now stuck in the holder, the socket has been dodgy from when I got it.

Luckily, it still boots from the usb

Any good guides on how to dismantle the H96 prpro

Just one more test before you try remove sd card.

Are you able to install add-ons transfer over files? Mine boots ok but once booted can't install anything.

Is the spring latch broke?

Quote from bubblegum57

I'm running from a 32GB San disk Ultra fit. Apart from at the beginning, it has been running ok, I update as soon as a new one comes out.

My H96 has the Q6330 chip. I used rufus to create the image.

Oh so your running from usb and not sd card I might give that a try. Which usb port will it boot from or does it work on any?

Any chance if you have a spare SD card laying around try test latest image on it, just to narrow down what could be causing issues on my end.

Much appreciated

Quote from bubblegum57

My box works fine. Well, apart from freezing sometimes

Well at least that rules out a box issue.

Are you running from internal or SD?

If your using sd what type of card you using?

Cheers

Just tried this on my H96 Pro 2GB/16GB, stayed on H96, no boot. How do you get the dtb? or can I try your's?

Hi bubblegum

Is your H96 pro box working fine with latest update?

I have same box as yours but I'm getting the read only errors since 8.1.7 updates.

Thanks

Quote from kszaq

Pelican The issue started with 8.1.7 or is it present in earlier builds as well?

In my case the read only issue only started in 8.1.7.

8.1.6 was working fine all folders writable.

Using a Samsung evo micro SD for both tests.

Will get some logs when get back from work

Quote from kszaq

the_bo Internal or SD?

16gb Samsung Evo micro sd card

If it helps here is journalctl -a | paste of the working 8.1.6 version to compare.

TbDa

Thanks

Quote from kszaq

Perhaps mount -o rw /storage would help. But that's a guess since I haven't seen any logs and did not experience this issue my self. If you can journalctl -a | paste from the read-only system...

Hi kszaq

Running journalctl -a | paste was able get logs

QYYg

Running mount -o rw /storage showed

mount: can't find /storage in /etc/fstab

Thanks

Are you sure that 8.1.7 introduced this bug for you? Have you tried to go back to 8.1.6 already?

I have this since the beginning with all versions.

Yeah 8.1.6 works fine can transfer files. Changes get saved no issues.

In 8.1.7 tried the libreelec log uploader gave me a sprunge.us link but it as always blank.

Ill see if can try get logs from ssh in 8.1.7.

I thought it was a corrupt sd card at first but tried 2 others sd cards with same results.

Thanks for your patience

Quote from bubblegum57

Assuming you installed to sd or usb, then just create a new image with an older version.

I use coreftp lite to copy files too, perhaps that will work for you.

Well I would stick with 8.1.6 but would like the screen tearing fix which was included in 8.1.7.

Wonder if possible to make custom 8.1.6 with only the screen tearing fix included.

Sorry for asking again but does anyone have any info on the issue of system going to read only mode after booting hence unable to write any changes to files. Seems to only affect few users including myself.

I know it's difficult to determine without logs but I can't get debug logs as Kodi log is stuck in read only mode so nothing gets written to log.

8.1.6 worked fine only since upgrading to 8.1.7 problems arose.

I'm using the 2gb ram 1gb Ethernet device tree on h96 pro box.

Thanks for any info as I love libreelec and don't want to have to buy another box.

Cheers
