I´m a TeamKodi member as well (so is milhouse ). Generally you are correct and Fernet is the correct person to speak to if it comes to video player related issues. But I don´t want to annoy him with tickets which we (Team LE) can´t reproduce. As already mentioned I couldn´t reproduce any issue while using full DVD structures or DVDs ripped into ISOs. So getting the same structure as the user in question uses could help a lot as I can try to reproduce on LE, Linux, Windows and OSX.

At the top right next to the "search"-symbol there´s a button called "conversations". Click on that and at the pulldown menu you will see some "+" sign to create a new converstation. I´ll PM you and you can answer on that message.

You missed to provide further infos...

1st guess from my side:

The "computer" you are talking about is a laptop?!

2nd guess:

You are using the HMDI out of your Laptop (if the 1st guess is correct) and therefore you have some kind of dual screen setup now. LibreELEC doesn't support dual screen setups. Normally you have the possibility to switch monitor output behaviour on your Laptop while using the FN-keys and you should have the following options:

- extended: means the screen is extended over 2 monitors

- internal: only the internal laptop monitor is in use

- external: only the external monitor is in use

- mirrored: both monitors will show the same thing

3rd guess:

I guess you have "mirrored" enabled and the resolution from your laptop screen doesn't match the resolution the TV might be capable of. So the HDMI out is limited to what the laptop screen is capable of which could result Kodi being displayed in the upper left corner. This can't be configured as LibreELEC doesn't support multi-monitor setups.

Solution suggestions:

Try to switch the monitor output behaviour using the FN-keys until you will see Kodi in full screen.

If you don't have those FN-keys on your laptop (as you missed to tell the exact model you are using), you can try to ssh into LibreELEC and get us the output of: xrandr | pastebinit

You will get an URL after entering the command above which should be posted here. That will show us which monitors are connected, in use and which resolution they are capable of. Then we can tweak something using some commands.

If you want to share something, please provide the full DVD structure in that case. PM me if needed.

To receive support in here, I would start with removing banned addons/repositories frist. And you have a bunch of them.

If you keep them you won't get support.

Provide Log File [LibreELEC.wiki]

Could you please provide a logfile playing the movie and stream which does that terrible sound.

Quote from Shoog

I don't have much love for Samba reliably moving stuff about.

Then probably use Filezilla and connect to LE using its credentials (IP, username, password, port (22))

Which works pretty fine

Shoog

Well, tbh. I'm with trogggy in that case.

You can SSH into LibreELEC easily and change nearly everything while using the command line

You can share files over SMB by default. Just enter \\<ip.of.LE.machine\ in your file explorer. See:

Accessing LibreELEC [LibreELEC.wiki]

Changing owners of files and/or groups is not necessary if you want to modify LE in any way.

I'll try later what happens on Ubuntu/Fedora/ArchLinux if I plug in a SD card. My guess is, that I'm able to edit files pretty easily.

Might also depend on the LE version you are using.

Could you please share a debuglog ?

Quote from Tyler Durden

Perhaps you could take a quick look at this page

Sorry, no.

I don't use Windows anymore for a very good reason. I have a Windows running at home, but not using it much anymore. And I won't install some niche software to get a NFS server running on an OS which should better use SMB.

Kodi and LibreELEC botth can handle SMB shares pretty fine. So my recommandation would be: drop that NFS server thingy on Windows and try SMB instead.

could you please show us the content for the exports file. If there's any. 100% no clue how this Hanewin works.

Quote from Tyler Durden

In this instance it is to i:\

Normally, ^ ^ those are Windows drives and should have nothing to do with NFS at all. I don't have a clue how this Hanewin works under Windows. If you are generally using Windows and you don't have anything else available than that, I would recommend SMB as shares and mount that.

Shoog

I splitted the posting, moved them to amlogic-support and renamed the topic which might probably be better for your problem.

Ask CoreELEC or Suse

Only speaking for myself, but I'm absolutely not familiar with OpenSUSE. It really wonders me, that a partition on a SD card is mounted as a different user.

I didn't use CoreELEC yet, but I highly guess you have many alternatives to connect to it. May it be SSH, Filezilla, Samba, whatever

Quote from Shoog

I need to copy over some Userdata Addon-data folders to customise my build.

Could you please explain what you are trying to achieve? Maybe there's a different solution for you.

Just checked and the path is correct. I installed a skin (Aeon Nox) and it's located under:

/storage/.kodi/addons/skin.aeon.nox.5

So skins, which are isntalled additionally are always stored at that location where you have write access to.

If we are talking about the standard Estuary skin, then trogggy is 100% correct. You have to copy Estuary to /storage/.kodi/addons but you have to copy it to a different folder name. Standard Estuary is located under: /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.estuary

So for example the copy need to look like that:

cp -R /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.estuary /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary-mod

But that's only half of the story. You have to rename the skin and therefore modify the addon.xml:

original:

<addon id="skin.estuary" version="1.9.16" name="Estuary" provider-name="phil65, Ichabod Fletchman">

modified:

<addon id="skin.estuary-mod" version="1.9.16" name="Estuary-mod" provider-name="phil65, Ichabod Fletchman">

After that the skin should be available and you are able to enable that skin by navigating to addons->my addons->look and feel->skin (there should be an "x" next to it and you need to enable it).

If that is done as well, just switch to that skin as usual.

Changes for Estuary-mod need to be done at the specific copied location then.

Everything under /storage/ isn't read-only

If you make a copy of a skin, it's recommended to rename the skin in the addon.xml file to something else. After that is done you need to enable the copied skin at addons->my addons->look and feel->skins

After that you are able to select and use that skin at the settings.

Normalla, skins which are installed additionally, should be already located under /storage/.kodi/addons

Not 100% sure about the path. But additional installed skins are stored somewhere under /storage which is the section you have write access to

Why not simply using a cronjob for that?

That cronjob could trigger a script which does all the checks you need (how many copies for example). The cronjob itself has the option to run at the time you configured it.

What you want is exactly kind of a cronjob-addon with the addition of checking how many backups are available and delete old ones if there are more than 4 files/backups.

Sure, I agree, an add-on might be better/easier to use instead of writing some scripts (especially if the end user is not capable of doing so).

First....the // at: What=//192.168.1.100/i/4KMoviesUSB1

are not needed as those are only necessary for SMB mounts. So please change it to:

What=192.168.1.100/i/4KMoviesUSB1

Then rename the script to

storage-i-4KMoviesUSB1.mount

see: Mounting network shares [LibreELEC.wiki]

Quote

Important: you need to use the filename for the definition file according to the folder where you want to mount your share .

In our case storage-recordings.mount represent path → /storage/recordings.

If you like an subfolder storage-recordings-tv.mount represent path → /storage/recordings/tv.

You try to mount that: What=//192.168.1.100/i/4KMoviesUSB1

So you path looks like: <ip>/<subfolder>/<source_folder>

Therefore you need to replace the "/" for sub- and source-folders to "-" for the path that it looks like: storage-i-4KMoviesUSB1.mount

No need for the IP in the script name.

LibreELEC Testbuilds for x86_64 (Kodi 18.0)

That's the link to the release post. It will,show which kind of stuff has been added to the built. It contains a pretty huge PR on Kodis side:

video player updates by FernetMenta · Pull Request #11946 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub

Maybe that might be related to your issue. We can only guess
