RE: ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21] - FreeMan xbmc - 2019-02-23 I seem to be down to 0 space free on my SSD in my Kodi box, so "curl -L -O http://mrchromebox.tech/setup-kodi.sh" is failing to write.

RE: ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21] - FreeMan xbmc - 2019-02-23 Copy pasted directly from the OP of this thread! It actually worked once, then refused to create the install on a really old USB stick, so I was doing it again.

As has been my experience every time in the past, exporting the video library works just fine, but I cannot get it to reimport it on the new setup. Not your fault at all, this seems to be an XMBC/Kodi issue from when I started using it almost 10 years ago. Thanks again for putting all this together, Matt - greatly appreciate your efforts and support! RE: ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21] - nickr - 2019-02-25 Matt, long time no see, I haven't been round here much. I have a chromebox which is in a tricky part of the house. The wifi is the only way to connect without doing non-waf wall ripping. I recently upgraded everything to libreelec 9 and added pci=nomsi to the command lines. However the wifi is not working well. We have a mysql database and I noticed this on the kodi wiki page, does this mean you effectively cannot use a mysql database with wifi? Quote:System-->LibreELEC-->Network: Wait for network before starting Kodi: On if using a external mysql database; otherwise Off (breaks Wi-Fi, only use for wired/ethernet connections) RE: ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21] - Matt Devo - 2019-02-25 (2019-02-25, 04:11)nickr Wrote: Matt, long time no see, I haven't been round here much.that was true at the time I added it to the wiki, which was for LE 7? I have no idea if that still holds true, I suspect it probably works much better now. Have you tried with the setting on? What isn't working well?

Fought for hours last night and gave up. Here is my setup:kernel/driver bug in LE9.0, use workaround posted on wiki (edit /flash/syslinux.cfg) I still can't get it to work. Once I've added 192.168.1.107/Movies as a network location, it says success, but then asks me to lock the location and a username and password, and a slider bar to remember the location. I leave them blank, as on the windows machine I don't have a username or pass. I hit OK, and the window closes and reopens... endless loop. Edit: Doing some reading, I'm thinking it might be because I don't have a username or password set to log in to the windows machine. An additional step is to create an additional local account on the windows machine (with username & password 'kodi'), and then under the main windows account, share the folders with the local 'kodi' account. Then.. on the LibreElec machine, add the network location and use 'kodi' for the username and password. I'll report back once I try this. RE: ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21] - FreeMan xbmc - 2019-02-26 I don't know if this is an issue with Kodi, LibreElec or Kore... I got my ASUS CN60 updated to the latest EUFI BIOS & a standalone LibreElec 9.0.0 install over the weekend. Now, when I hit pause during playback of any video, if I let it sit long enough that the screen dims (it's set at the 3 minute default) it takes ages for it to wake up. I hit play, and it has literally been sitting for more than 3 minutes (actually more like 5) doing nothing. I'm using the official Kore remote on my Android phone as my remote. I just walked up to the keyboard that I have plugged into the Chromebox and hit the space bar and the screen immediately woke up. A second press of the spacebar and it started playing. A few moments later it paused, then started then paused again - I'm assuming these are because of the play/pause presses I sent from the phone. Now it's paused and doesn't seem to be interested in resuming, at least not from the remote. While I was typing this, the screen dimmed, then suddenly it woke up and started playing again. Then it paused, resumed, paused, resumed, etc. from me mashing the remote key, and now it's paused but the remote thinks it's playing. I've also noticed that when waking it up even with no video playing, it's very very slow to respond. Out of frustration, I'll end up mashing a few buttons on the remote (arrow left/right, menu home, etc) and when it finally wakes up, it will replay all the random key strokes. Any suggestions on what to look for or check? I never had any issues like this running 17.x on the pared back somewhat updated really old Kudibuntu setup I'd been running. Because I've not made any network/hardware changes, I doubt that it's a network related issue (though anything is possible), so I think it's definitely related to the LE update. I doubt that it's anything your fault and I'm not attempting to/interested in assigning blame, I'm just looking to get it fixed. Thanks!

Not sure if it's on the Kodi side or LE side, but either the Linux support forum here or the LE forums might give you a wider audience for the issue. one note, if you're using a LAN connection (vs wifi), be sure to implement the fix in the wiki troubleshooting section, since it mitigates a kernel bug that cripples the Ethernet throughput RE: ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21] - FreeMan xbmc - 2019-02-27 (2019-02-26, 07:25)Matt Devo Wrote:It seems that it may have been a network issue.

ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21] - giant25 - 2019-02-27 Hey Matt, do you know if a bug report has been submitted for the kernel issue crippling throughout? Just curious. Seems like a pain to keep explaining this as folks upgrade.... RE: ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21] - Matt Devo - 2019-02-27 (2019-02-27, 02:22)giant25 Wrote: Hey Matt, do you know if a bug report has been submitted for the kernel issue crippling throughout? Just curious. Seems like a pain to keep explaining this as folks upgrade....I'm not sure yet if it's a kernel bug that disproportionally affects Chromebox users (since they all have the RT8168 Ethernet chip), or if the kernel change simply exposed a coreboot bug that had laid dormant (due to AER not being enabled). It's on my to-do list to figure that out, then can proceed with how to fix RE: ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21] - MrBuyakah - 2019-03-01 (2019-02-26, 02:39)Walrus Wrote: Edit: Doing some reading, I'm thinking it might be because I don't have a username or password set to log in to the windows machine.

I have installed standalone Libreelec 9.01 on a CN60 Chromebox using the EZ setup script. I have also added the "pci=nomsi" line to grub.cfg as explained in the wiki. But my ethernet link is still unusably bad with buffering occurring all the time when the bitrate of the source material is at all high. The step of adding to grub.cfg does not appear to have meaningfully changed the ethernet performance, and I have checked to see the pci-nomsi addition is there after 'quiet'. This is accessing media stored locally on the network via SMB. Accessing the same media over the network via SMB from a windows PC, all works well. Any help much appreciated.

However, when I open the syslinux.cfg it has no content, and I get the message ‘new file’ at the bottom of the screen. I was using this Chromebox for OpenELEC but then put it into storage. Coming to it again, I followed the instructions on Ypur site to boot from a Ubuntu USB stick and then reinstall the core boot, etc, and then installed Libreelec. All works well apart from the buffering issue. Should I put the ‘pci=nomsi’ line in a new syslinux.cfg? The fact the line ending ‘quiet’ is not there suggests to me I shouldn’t...... |
