My kodi went havoc, took me some time to track this down but it had 13 Gb of files with a very long name in /storage/.cache/.cores.
Had to use a bash script to remove em, rm -r * crashed on it.
Does anyone have a idea what's supposed to be in this directory and how I can prevent this problem from occuring again?
Currently I have a rpi2 with Kodi 16/LibreELEC 7.0.3 connected to my AV-Receiver. When i scan for devices on my Samsung TV it finds the Kodi. Everything works fine.
Problems started when I attempted to switch to a rpi3 with Kodi 17. When connected to the AV-Receiver the scan does not see the Kodi device. First thing I did was comparing the configuration Xml with the Kodi 16 versions. They where (almost) the same, one setting changed its name.
I remembered a HDMI CEC setting where I could configure that Kodi is connected to the AVR rather then the TV. This settings seems to be gone. I am out of ideas on how to fix this. Please advice.
The current configuration is as follows:
<settings>
<setting id="activate_source" value="0" />
<setting id="button_release_delay_ms" value="0" />
<setting id="button_repeat_rate_ms" value="0" />
<setting id="cec_hdmi_port" value="1" />
<setting id="cec_standby_screensaver" value="0" />
<setting id="cec_wake_screensaver" value="0" />
<setting id="connected_device" value="36037" />
<setting id="device_name" value="Kodi" />
<setting id="device_type" value="1" />
<setting id="double_tap_timeout_ms" value="300" />
<setting id="enabled" value="1" />
<setting id="pause_or_stop_playback_on_deactivate" value="36044" />
<setting id="pause_playback_on_deactivate" value="0" />
<setting id="physical_address" value="0" />
<setting id="power_avr_on_as" value="1" />
<setting id="send_inactive_source" value="0" />
<setting id="standby_devices" value="231" />
<setting id="standby_devices_advanced" value="" />
<setting id="standby_pc_on_tv_standby" value="36028" />
<setting id="standby_tv_on_pc_standby" value="0" />
<setting id="tv_vendor" value="0" />
<setting id="use_tv_menu_language" value="0" />
<setting id="wake_devices" value="231" />
<setting id="wake_devices_advanced" value="" />
</settings>
Thanks, the source code clarified a lot. Decided to write a fresh image to the flash, update cmdline.txt and all problems are resolved.
Can you post the url from cat /flash/config.txt|paste and cat /flash/cmdline.txt|paste.
Certainly. /dev/mmcblk0p2 did not exist. So i tried another cmdline.txt which i found on /dev/mmcblk0p1 (in both cases there's a delay but kodi starts):
boot=UUID=176D-2AFE disk=UUID=f2c26989-d7ab-4c16-9d6a-36e40c02035b quiet
cmdline.txt
boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2 quiet
config.txt

Can you post the url from cat /flash/config.txt|paste and cat /flash/cmdline.txt|paste.
Oh didnt read it right, here you go:
After upgrading my pi3 from 7.0.3 and then 8 it displays a message saying:
NEVER TOUCH boot= in extlinux.conf / cmdline.txt!
If you don’t know what you are doing,
your installation is now broken.Normal startup in 60s…
It does startup normally after that. So how do I get rid if this annoying 60 second delayReply
