popcornmix, for whats this (USBIP) needed/used?

something is wrong starting with #0202 cant mount btrfs storage.... kernel keeps trying f2fs ....
happens on rpi1 and rpi2

you use btrfs for your storage/ second partition? support for other filesystems then vfat and ext2-4 for the both system/storage partitions we have removed, this will only work for other drives/partitions

[sraue]

Where has the PPTP VPN client option gone?

we removed this because we cant maintain and support this anymore. the openelec devs dont using this feature and the users expect support. if we find one who active maintain this feature and provide support it can be back (or readded as a seperate addon)

i use second partition btrfs.... super useful in avoiding corruptions because almost every time it can repair itself with no user intervention...

I don't think it's useful for OE.
It was requested for raspbian.
Allows connection to USB devices through network.

Doh! I really need this. Hopefully somebody steps up that has the knowledge to maintain this or create a separate plugin. I would not think it needed much maintenance as its old technology?

Cant see no improvement opening timeline epg with live tv running in background on rpi 2 vs rpi

This isn't very promising... thanks for the feedback. If nobody is able to see any benefit from this PR, I'll drop it over the weekend.

Is this regarding PR:6246? I didn't think that PR relates to opening the EPG once PVR has started up.

Wonder if he means there is no difference between your build and 5.0.1 on Pi2, or if he means same build in Pi1 vs Pi2. If the second, it would be particularly surprising and disappointing.

[Milhouse]

I assumed he was referring to PR6246, perhaps Jönke can clarify.

guess you are not going to add the fs modules back into the kernel.... guess its fork time

Correct. See "Feature requests" section in first post of this thread. The purpose of these builds is not to add unsupported features.

I have an issue with live tv all the channels are shown as 4:3 and are squashed on screen. Kodi takes the whole screen but when live tv gets played it gets squashed. This is rp 2 it displays properly using openelec 5.0.1. One thing I just remembered I didn't pay for the MPEG codec. In rp 1 I only get audio until I paid for mpeg codec.

A photograph/screenshot of your screen may help visualise the problem more easily. Is this only with Live TV?

[denz]

I downloaded aljazeera video plugin and the internet videos show full screen ie in correct 16:9 ratio. I will try tomorrow other videos when I set everything up.

This one shows the home screen


Shows live tv as you can see it is squashed.
