pjs how you create/write the sd card is irrelevant
<chewitt>
use dd if you like
<chewitt>
use any other app that writes SD cards .. different routes to the same destination
<pjs>
chewitt: got it, thanks!

Greetings, anyone knows how to disable bluray support when building LE 9.2.5 from source?
<chewitt>
set KODI_BLURAY_SUPPORT="no" in distributions/LibreELEC/options
<chewitt>
BLURAY_BDPLUS_SUPPORT and BLURAY_AACS_SUPPORT should prob. be disabled too
<chewitt>
same file
<daggs1>
thanks
<daggs1>
I need to disable it because it doesn't finds a specific header thus fails the compilation, is this a known issue?
<chewitt>
nothing I've heard of .. and I clean build 9.2.x for RPi4 yesterday without issues
<chewitt>
which distro are you building on?
<daggs1>
gentoo, x86-64
<daggs1>
I'll build and share the error

Ubuntu 18.04 is the most reliable OS for building .. as it's what we build official images on
<daggs1>
I understand, unfortunately, I don't have an handy ubuntu 18.04
<JohnDoe_71Rus>
chewitt: hi. can you open pm?
<chewitt>
what needs pm?
<JohnDoe_71Rus>
talk that is offtop for main channel. i think
<chewitt>
I'll be online again in a couple of hours, I have work to do now sorry..

JohnDoe_71Rus so what do you want to talk about?

chewitt, I've decided to go with your suggestion, installed u18.04 on vm.
<daggs1>
btw, if I build a specific addon, will it use the same build definitions I used to build LE? the addon will be embedded into the new image or set aside (which requires a local repo)
<JohnDoe_71Rus>
can someone build a few A20 images of specific commits? for bisect test
andy-burns has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
<chewitt>
daggs1 if you build using the same PROJECT=, ARCH= .. it will be created using the same toolchain/sources
<chewitt>
the addon zip will be in the target/ folder, it does not embed into the image
<daggs1>
chewitt, so I need to create a local repo for LE to use, correct?
cage has joined #libreelec
<chewitt>
copy the zip file to the device and install from /storage
<chewitt>
kodi needs a switch toggled to allow install from local zips .. in settings
<daggs1>
ok, will it have access to the official addons repos?
<chewitt>
if it's a one-time install, that will be easier than building a repo
<daggs1>
I do update LE
<chewitt>
everything else will still work as normal
<daggs1>
ok
<daggs1>
I hope this version will fix my issue
<daggs1>
chewitt, for upgrade, I can place the img file in /storage/.update on the device and reboot, correct?
<chewitt>
correc
<chewitt>
t
<daggs1>
ok
<daggs1>
is there a way to force factory reset from cli?
<chewitt>
systemctl stop kodi
<chewitt>
rm -rf /storage/*
<chewitt>
reboot
<daggs1>
ok, will first kill the settings, then will try upgrading to 9.2.5
<daggs1>
thanks
<chewitt>
there are other ways to remove specific config.. rm -rf is the sledgehammer approach
<daggs1>
chewitt, for what I need to do, factory defaults is needed
andy-burns has joined #libreelec
<chewitt>
defaults for Kodi .. defaults for networking? .. there are lots of defaults
<daggs1>
I've approved it (not sure if that means anything...)
<chewitt>
yeah.. not really :)
<chewitt>
people with merge rights count
<chewitt>
it's a bit academic since we cheat when we build official add-ons .. we do them in bulk, so projectm always builds (alphabetically) before spectrum
<daggs1>
question, why SCSI_VIRTIO isn't enabled in the x86_64 kernel?
<chewitt>
LE doesn't run any hypervisors, so no need for it
<chewitt>
or .. if it's the other way around, we're using some other HBA/bus standard not SCSI
<chewitt>
we have never 'supported' virtual installs
<daggs1>
I'm running LE in kvm, there are multiple _VIRTIO configs enabled. SCSI_VIRTIO isn't. thing is, if I want to pass throught my dvd for example, I cannot
<chewitt>
there's an OVA for vmware which staff use for functional testing sometimes
<chewitt>
we're all using workstation/player/fusion
<daggs1>
then why have any VIRTIO config enabled?
<chewitt>
subzero interest in HyperV or any other hypervisor .. because we don't support use
<chewitt>
no idea, maybe stray config
<daggs1>
shame, it works great on my server

LE has always been a "focussed" distro with a particular mission
<chewitt>
better to aim at something specific and do it well than attempt to be everything to everyone and miss the mark
<daggs1>
I agree, still it is a nice extra as it beats my c2 performance wise and it costs 1/3 from getting a new NUC as I have almost everything I need
<chewitt>
If you're self-building .. enable whatever you need
<daggs1>
that is what I do
<chewitt>
'tis the beauty of open source :)

the only downfall is the upgrades flow which I need to maintain even addon wise
