can someone clarify what might be slowing the system down with a large STORAGE filesystem?
<DaRock>
the filesystem is ext4 AFAICS

what is a good hardware remote for raspi3 libreelec? i only use the cursor keys and want to switch subtitles and audio language
<speeedy>
your tv remote
<speeedy>
if you have a tv for rpi3, and it supports cce
<speeedy>
or cee

otherwise WII Remote might be good (if just a remote is needed) :)
<speeedy>
or kodi remote
<speeedy>
the app
<DaRock>
I think you mean cec... :-)
<speeedy>
I got the letters right, just not in the right order
<DaRock>
lol
<DaRock>
can anyone help with performance issues with a large disk?

<oblikoamorale>
question is quite vague and broad, narrow it a bit
<speeedy>
defrag
<speeedy>
raid
<speeedy>
ssd
<speeedy>
better router, better nas...
<speeedy>
yeah we could keep going, we dont know much
<DaRock>
its on an rpi3
<speeedy>
you have trouble playing something with a rpi3 with hdd connected to it ?
<DaRock>
I've got a 4Tb drive hooked up via USB (USB3.0 enclosure), but uboot and gpt fail on that, so I'm limited to 2Tb on mbr
<speeedy>
if its x265 maybe its the rpi3.... otherwise i'd say its faulty hdd
<speeedy>
your enclosure doesnt matter, rpi3 is usb2
<DaRock>
it boots fine from this, but once I resized the partition manually (failed on auto obviously with the parameters of it) it slowed down dramatically in boot time and using it slowing badly
<speeedy>
are you using libreelec
<DaRock>
I get the limitations, but I cannot understand why as soon as I increased the space available it slowed down
<DaRock>
of course, why else would I be asking here :-D
<speeedy>
to have help idk
<speeedy>
for other related stuff
<DaRock>
each has their place ;-)
<speeedy>
well idk i only used libreelec with sd card and hdd are extention
<DaRock>
is there some kind of tuning I'm missing here that would mean it doesn't like that much space?
<speeedy>
you better boot with ssd
<speeedy>
eh sd card
<speeedy>
and just format your hdd to fat32 or whatever to have full size
<DaRock>
not again.... sd cards fail far too often to be bothering with that thanks
<speeedy>
do you poor water on them ?
<speeedy>
I've been using my sd card for 4 years, never failed
<DaRock>
fat32 wouldn't handle 4Tb or barely 2Tb anyhow
<speeedy>
ntfs then
<DaRock>
I'm guessing they don't like the conditions here - regardless I'm not going down that path
<oblikoamorale>
what partition are you resizing manually?
<DaRock>
ext4 - STORAGE
<oblikoamorale>
what if you create another partition filling up your unused disk space, does it work fine?
<DaRock>
that's not even possible - been there, done that :-)
<oblikoamorale>
why is that? you must be able to mount just about anything with systemd mount unit
<DaRock>
what I am really concerned about right now is the performance as soon as I resized - why did it slow down like that?
<oblikoamorale>
it shouldn't. is your drive itself ok?
<DaRock>
I'm talking about boot going from say 5s - 30s
<oblikoamorale>
any errors/timeouts in dmesg
<DaRock>
yep - just fine passed all tests, the enclosure is brand new and worked beautifully
<DaRock>
nothing in either kodi.log or journalctl
<oblikoamorale>
look at dmesg, each line is timed so you might get an idea what step takes so long
<oblikoamorale>
regarding system boot phase itself
<DaRock>
you're right I hadn't thought of that
<DaRock>
while I have the data I ran iostat and I'm getting 768 kB_wrtn/s both ways, so that seems alright
<oblikoamorale>
I would have immediately thrown a device performing like that out of the window :)
<oblikoamorale>
768 KB is just sad
<speeedy>
have you tested it with a computer
<DaRock>
well that's just what its using in the moment, plus its over usb2.0 so not bad considering
<speeedy>
direct usb2
<speeedy>
i can do 40mb/s over usb2 over the network with libreelec
<DaRock>
well looking at the dmesg it jumps from a few secs to 126 secs once it mounts sda2 (ext4)
<speeedy>
or is it 30, anyway way faster than 800k/s
<DaRock>
more interesting is this: first it mentions recovery mode, then "mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)"
<DaRock>
from that point on it seems the diff between time stamps practically doubles
<DaRock>
is there a logical reason it would do this?
<oblikoamorale>
do you shut your system down correctly? it's possible that it runs a fsck on next boot
<oblikoamorale>
which obviously takes time
<DaRock>
yes, but why the continued slow performance?
<DaRock>
and yes shutdown was clean btw
<DaRock>
I would have agreed that the boot time would be extensive if it was running fsck, but the continued performance is a concern
<oblikoamorale>
well I think you laid out just about all basic facts about your situation, someone expierenced in rpi external storage might have a look and chip in
<DaRock>
here's hoping :-)
<DaRock>
have you heard anything about resetting mount counts with tune2fs after running fsck?
<DaRock>
still a no show in the kernel conf though
<DaRock>
weird...
<oblikoamorale>
yeah, it's absent. worth trying to compile a custom build then

i have a sony bravia TV but somehow I can't it's remote control for kodi(libreelec
<lacrimosa>
its*
<lacrimosa>
it must be a settings thing because a couple of months ago it worked
<lacrimosa>
with the same hardware
<DaRock>
trying to decode the syntax there - which remote are you meaning there? Are you controlling the tv through kodi or the other way around? Do you mean web control or are you meaning cec?
<lacrimosa>
it now works a bit since I played around with the settings of the Sat-receiver ?!
<lacrimosa>
I use a Sony RMT-TX100D remote for my sony bravia
<lacrimosa>
I guess it works through HDMI-CEC
<DaRock>
so tv controlling kodi then
<lacrimosa>
yes
<lacrimosa>
I can start my kmv videos and switch subtitles
<lacrimosa>
however, audio language doesn't switch if I press the "audio" button on the remote
<DaRock>
I have trouble the other way with cec - kodi acn make the tv standby, but cannot activate it for some resaon until just a few months ago
<DaRock>
no idea why, and no response to my quey either
<DaRock>
still not working :-(
<DaRock>
did you run any updates?
<lacrimosa>
on the TV?
<DaRock>
libreelec
<lacrimosa>
manually, yes
<lacrimosa>
i have the newest version
<DaRock>
I suppose updates on the tv aswell, but I wouldn't count that as likely
<DaRock>
when? before or after the issue?
<lacrimosa>
I don't have the TV on the internet
<DaRock>
neither do I :-D
<DaRock>
probably a good plan I think ;-)
<lacrimosa>
maybe a misunderstanding: I never had really used the TV-remote for kodi on a day-to-day basis
<lacrimosa>
when I accidentally came on a button on the remote, it did something in kodi
<lacrimosa>
like cursor up, etc
<lacrimosa>
I controlled kodi always by an wireless usb keyboard
<DaRock>
well did you update libreelec before or after the issue?
<lacrimosa>
but I only used the cursor buttons and enter
<lacrimosa>
which issue?
<DaRock>
the one you're asking about?
<lacrimosa>
it doesn't have anything to do with updates
<DaRock>
so you tried updating to see if it would fix it?
<DaRock>
like me?
<lacrimosa>
lol
<lacrimosa>
no
<lacrimosa>
but thanks
<DaRock>
well I'm confused then
<lacrimosa>
sorry, I can't express myself good in these matters, but it doesn't have to do with updates
<lacrimosa>
it's a settings/configuration thingy
<lacrimosa>
I'm a CEC first timer
<lacrimosa>
it's all like a magic box to me
<lacrimosa>
before I entered here, I switch settings in kodi(libreelec for half an hour
<DaRock>
yes, but thats what is generally asked to find out if its new in an update or something else
<DaRock>
in this case probably something else - like the issue I'm having: also with cec
<lacrimosa>
I couldn't get my TV-remote to even do anything in kodi/libreelec, nothing!
ghostcube has joined #libreelec
<lacrimosa>
but then I did some settings on the other HDMI-port of the TV where my sat receiver is connected, and all of the sudden, I can now control kodi/libreelec with my TV-remote
<lacrimosa>
also which is pissing me off is that somehow kodi made another Source called "recorder1"
<lacrimosa>
I don't need it
<DaRock>
see if it lasts - it may stop again
<lacrimosa>
it is annoying because it sometimes zaps to it
<DaRock>
as for recorder1 - thats how you are controlling kodi
<DaRock>
it _is_ kodi
<lacrimosa>
the recorder1?
<lacrimosa>
it just appeard out of nothing
<DaRock>
standard procedure
<lacrimosa>
I assumed "recorder" is like an HDD-recorder where you storage what you watch, etc
<DaRock>
well it was probably there before and you didn't notice it - then it disappeared and stopped the control happening, and now its back and you have cotrol but you hadn't seen it before
<DaRock>
yes and no - read up on cec
<lacrimosa>
it's complikated af
<lacrimosa>
I never know when to look for libreelec and when for kodi
<lacrimosa>
also what are there 2 different possibilities for settings in libreelec and kodi?
<rdorsch>
I have a setup on a Debian system running which uses xmltv, but it seems that xmltv is not included in libreelec (?)
<DaRock>
rdorsch: are you already using tvheadend and a dvb adapter?
<DaRock>
the website is about using cec commands - which is very deep, granted - but it also has some links that help explain things. For eg. depending on who is doing the talking determines source and dest
<DaRock>
if you put in what you want, it can help translate that into cec speak and you can use cec-client directly with those commands; but for you I say to have a look at the terms used and some of the help pages rather than use that, although looking into what is called a recorder and such will tell you a lot about what the system expects and is doing
<rdorsch>
DaRock, I am using iptv with tvheadend
<rdorsch>
I would like to set that up for my father on a wetek play.
<rdorsch>
I have it here with tvheadend on a separate server.
<rdorsch>
There xmltvse works well
<DaRock>
I have no idea then - if it was dvb then I'd have said use the ota epg

hi, is there a way to get libreelec bluetooth/wifi/etc management addon on regular debian+kodi install?
