Just to let you know that build 1208 works perfectly fine with my USB SPDIF optical output. Build 1210 has no options anymore to select the ALSA Audio Advantage Micro II S/PDIF options.

Going back to 1208 and the options are there.

I take it that this is a result of.....

Drop ALSA/Pulse patch - this may require current audio device to be re-selected. Patch will return once fixed.

Any ideas how long the fix could take, I'll just keep to 1208 until I see it mentioned that it is included. I would be grateful if mentioning its inclusion could be done when it's ready. Thanks

Screengrabs of settings assigned to root for storage & .cache folder for info

Thanks but it's the permissions on the /storage folder as Linux sees it that I was after - you'd have to mount the SD card in a Linux PC, I think. Duff permissions (as sshd can be very picky about that sort of thing, quite rightly) is about the only thing I can think of right now that would prevent sshd from working. If you have Samba enabled you can access your logfiles in the Logfiles share - open the latest zip and inside you'll have dmesg and journalctl logfiles which might give a clue as to what is wrong (upload the zip to dropbox and post the link if you don't get anywhere).    

I have not attempted to delete shadow files yet via samba and Windows PC to regain access and controil via ssh (both files then reboot?)



and not sure what to look for in log files for clues on why I get access denied when trying to login via ssh, here is dropbox link to latest logfile zip

Thanks for help/advice.

I have sound card  usb  PCM2704 in last builds i cant configure this card, works only audio from hdmi

Which is the last of these test builds when it worked correctly?

[Milhouse]

Any ideas how long the fix could take, I'll just keep to 1208 until I see it mentioned that it is included.

Not at this time - there are changes still going on around Audio Engine and ALSA. Hopefully sooner than later, though.

I have not attempted to delete shadow files yet via samba and Windows PC to regain access and controil via ssh (both files then reboot?)

Yes both files (shadow- is a backup of the original shadow file prior to any modification, but there's no benefit to be had from keeping it).

and not sure what to look for in log files for clues on why I get access denied when trying to login via ssh

I can see sshd is running, and I see two failed password attempts in the latest journalctl:

Code:

Dec 11 22:23:02 LibreELEC sshd[1072]: Failed password for root from 192.168.1.35 port 54113 ssh2
Dec 11 22:23:17 LibreELEC sshd[1072]: Failed password for root from 192.168.1.35 port 54113 ssh2

so it looks like you are entering an incorrect password. Have you tried entering both the old ("libreelec") and new passwords?

I don't know what ssh client you are using, but I'm using PuTTY (Windows app) and when I enter an incorrect password it shows "Permission denied", so it's entirely possible your "Access denied" error is actually an incorrect password, possibly because the shadow file contains garbage, or it's changed back to the default.

You could try viewing the shadow file - it should look similar to the following (which is the default - your "root" line will be different if you've changed the password):

Code:

systemd-network:*:::::::
root:$6$sY7aGbTxcU2ZeqDN$Rlb40DOjy8JbyvH052FGYMTcWWRFZaPvvdFiqFeYgGBklDGxivnDBGeW2fia94RzyYZbyXpBLwltV/JaDc7Op/:::::::
nobody:*:::::::
dbus:*:::::::
system:*:::::::
avahi:*:::::::

Try deleting the shadow file - it will be recreated with the default "libreelec" password.

I have just submitted another PR so that LibreELEC will always overwrite the shadow file with default settings if it appears that the shadow file contains garbage (ie. is missing the entry for root), and this will be in #1212. This should fix your issue, restoring the default password, assuming your shadow file has become corrupted after the power loss.

 I am using putty on Win10 pc and see "Access denied" message when tryin original/modified passwords..
checked and String is different in shadow and shadow- files.
Will wait for #1212 to see if the change in build fixes ssh password issue. (rather than taking easy delete shadow files)

Thanks

Try tonight's build when the ALSA/Pulseaudio patch is restored.

[Vimes]

Any ideas how long the fix could take, I'll just keep to 1208 until I see it mentioned that it is included.

Not at this time - there are changes still going on around Audio Engine and ALSA. Hopefully sooner than later, though.

I'll hopefully spot when it is added in the notes for updates. Using the update function within the Kodi client for these build you only get the minimum amount of information on what has changed.

I was more concerned that the support for ALSA and my USB audio stick had been dropped.

Thanks for letting me know.I

Hallo,

I'm having problems with playing some DVD's
Directly after starting the play it stops.

Attached the part from the logfile, please tell me when more is needed.

Was reading somewhere it could be connected with regioset. In Kodi setitngs I set it up to 2. Is there something also like this: Regioset - Ubuntu?

[Milhouse]

Please use pastebin sites for entire logfiles - don't paste snippets directly to the forum.

[Vimes]

Just to ask if there is a thread, section, GIT or something that I could follow for updates to the ALSA and audio engine updates.?
Thanks

[Huey]

These issues are really hard to identify. I'd be very surprised if it's anything specific to these test builds, and that it should affect all platforms, so you may be better off filing a ticket on track.kodi.tv and/or starting a new thread in the OS Independent sub-forum. 

but test builds kodi-17 worked without problems.

I can confirm that I have noticed this at well. In shows it shows really well: it seems like setting current show to watched, toggles previous to unwatched. But in MySQL dB status is watched so a sync set status back to correct settings. Not sure when this behavior has started, but I think 101x ish. Just updated again, will try to keep an eye out.

Think it was import entries in the advancedsettings.xml, removed them and all seems well now.

[steveh]

Any idea when shadertoy will be back in the build?
