Hello,

I've recently stopped using my Harmony remote and now I want to see if I can get CEC to work the way I want. I have it working "correctly" when using my AppleTV.

I have a Denon receiver that outputs video to my Panasonic TV. I have my Vero 4k connected to my receiver.

When everything is off I want this to happen:

1. Press a button on the Vero remote
2. Receiver turns on, sets the correct HDMI input (no problem here)
3. TV turns on

When I turn off Vero 4 (how do you even do that? It just reboots when quitting in Kodi) I want the following to happen:

1. Receiver turns off
2. TV turns off
3. Vero can still be on, I don't care as long as it doesnt wake the receiver or TV.

Is the above possible at all? This is how CEC works with my AppleTV and the AppleTV remote.

I have two Pi4's that run OSMC, the first one has always been very stable. The second one has always been a bit flaky, but usable. It would randomly reboot every so often, even while idle, and very occasionally would get into a boot loop that would eventually stabilize. Lately it's gotten much worse. I did extensive process of elimination today with a fresh install on a separate SD, as well as swapping in my good Pi4 in all kinds of scenarios. I finally came to the conclusion that it's related to the wifi. It would frequently not want to connect and a couple of times rebooted as soon as I entered my wifi password. I ended up turning off wifi, switched to an ethernet cable and it's been stable ever since. Time will tell if it's truly stable, I'll be running this setup and keeping an eye on uptime.

Anyone else ever seen this?

I am running a raspberry pi 3 for my kodi osmc, and while scrapping it crashes about every 30 min and reboots. Maybe I should upgrade to something better, what do you use, (or suggest) to run osmc/kodi? Thank you

This might be a weird question, but what happens if in my movie library, I have two or more of the same movie. (But perhaps they are in a different format or a different file size). If I plug my hard drive in and let it scrape would’ve just show the same movie multiple times? Or should I go through and delete? Thank you

Let’s say I had a file folder with 2000 movies in it. And for Kodi I would have to go through one by one, find the movie year, and edit the file name for each movie. 2000 times. Does tinymediamanager or any other software automatically go through and add the years? (or do something that was significantly make this process faster?) thank you all for your advice and knowledge.

I have a 3b+ raspberry pi running osmc kodi, and it keeps crashing as it is scrapping. (Maybe it’s because I have it 400 movies to scrape.). It’s actually my friends 3b+, and I need to give it back, but it, or go buy a newer one. Any suggestions on what to do and if a better one would stop the crashing? Thank you in advance

I have soo many movies on an external HD, MUST I put hebyear next to each one, (one by one) or is there a better way? OR is it worth just not doing it and see how the scraper does? Thank you

When naming tv shows on my hard drive, I understand s01e01 and so on, but when it’s a short series with only 6 episodes, do I call it season 1, or no season at all?

I have put this in the config.txt and rebooted but it still won't run above 1500hz when I check with "vcgencmd get_config int | grep arm_freq"

Any hint as what I'm missing would be much appreciated.

over_voltage=6

arm_freq=1900

gpu_freq=750

force_turbo=1

I have searched, but can't seem to find much.

I'm building a RasPi-4 based OSMC box for a friend using a DeskPi chassis, 4TB SSD, and the official OSMC remote and receiver. I would like to arrange matters such that if I add media to my homer server (running PLEX with their recommended file structure), I can plug a thumb drive into it and have it automatically copy over any media it has not previously had on it. I would then like to be able to send/give the drive to my friend, and have the media automatically copied onto the SSD in their machine when they simply plug it in. So the USB drive would have to keep a listing of media already on their machine and refuse to make new copies of it.

Am I asked too much? To be clear, I have ZERO coding experience. Like, none. I can make the LOGO turtle draw a square; an octagon, on a good day.

Hi all, Have installed OSMC on a Pi3 with a pi screen attached. Audio out through the headphone jack of the Pi. When I try and play music through it, it can't manage to play any files and instead skips to the next song.

Looking into the audio settings, it says "no devices found" Any solutions to this? Is it because I'm sending video out to the screen, is it also trying to send audio out that way?

Either way, can't choose to output audio out via aux/headphone.

Any help appreciated, not much use in an audio streamer that can't play any music ha

I reinstalled everything, and now I can't find the setting that enables turning off the TV using the home button on the remote.

When I hold down the home button from Kodi's home screen, the source on the TV changes from 'OSMC' to 'Computer', but Kodi's still showing.

Vero V.

I have an OSMC remote and I'm waiting for a mini PC to set up with OSMC. In the meantime, can I use the OSMC remote on my Mac? It doesn't appear to be plug and play but I'm curious if there is a workaround.

It's running on a Raspberry Pi 3

My friend hooked me up with a raspberry pie that has OSMC on it. He had some movies and TV shows on it, with the thumbnails and everything, making it look like a Netflix type thing. He took out his thumb drive with his stuff on it, but left me the raspberry pie with the some program. I “cleaned up” the library, and all of his stuff and thumb nails are gone. I plugged in my own thumb drive with about five movies on it just to see if it will upload it work. Here’s my issue, I can’t get them added to the library, to get scraped with some nails, and all that stuff, it just shows in a list as if on a computer or something. How do I add things to the library to get them scraped and organized with some nails and things? Thank you very much.

...and I can't figure out why. It's been like this for a couple of weeks. The unit's hooked up to the LAN, and everything online works fine, Youtube, Plex, etc.

I have a grandmother (90+) and we are looking to add a system so she can access old shows (ripped from DVDs) on an RPi3 based system with her ComCast (Comcast based cable remote). I can access the files easily with the integrated file system, but switching between cable and the RPi is complicated.... Please help.

Hello. I have a raspberry pi zero 2 with OSMC installed. Looking for a remote that I can get off Amazon that is basically plug and play. Anyone have some good recommendations?

Hey there, I was looking into OSMC and stuff to make my own media Server on my Raspberry Pi.

Can I watch the videos etc on my smartphone? Or does it only work on a TV or smth?

Thanks in advance

Tldr; I love this box. It is the ultimate mediaplayer to renew/complete your home cinema system.

After years my Minix U1 (based on amlogic 905) has gone out of service. It served well but couldn't deal with newer kodi higher than Leila (18.9).

Rpi4 with libreelec: seemed ok but when zooming into Dolby HD, DTS HD it ignored passthrough it failed miserably unlike the passthrough settings. (100% cpu) I gave up.

With the Vero OSMC box it is now back to perfect. Even HDR10 is recognized. All audio formats play with outstanding performance on my set. Better than before.

My setup: sony 4K Bravia HDMI to Pioneer receiver. Vero box HDMI to Pioneer receiver. E-arc is recognized and works fine.

Some things to get used to:

1 No power on/off button - just switch off the TV and earc will put the box in standby. Fine! It wakes when you turn on the TV and switch to the earc HDMI. Perfect.

2 Bright blue led in standby (nothing when it is operating) - I fixed this to my convenience by taking a black cd marker pen and dotting the light a bit. Just Fine now.

3 Remote control - just with some other kodi skins sometimes inability to get into a menu (long press to delete a media source). Fixed that by adding a mini keyboard with USB RF. Additionally: the KORE app on Android works also fine and still is a handy tool to quickly send text to input fields.

**UPDATED: user error: (see comments by OSMC) - menu key short press = context menu, menu key long press = secondary sliding menu. I overlooked the "short press" ability somehow.

Thank you Sam and the community. OSMC is great.

However, OSMC is based on Debian but my Vero V didn't recognize my smartphone. Do I need to configure my Vero to recognize my smartphone or can't I do anything ?

G’day. When my power goes out in the shed due to storms etc., my raspberry pi 3b v1.2 running OSMC restarts in recovery mode and throws the above error.

In the past I have been able to get it to reboot by putting a copper or aluminium sheet over the Pi so it doesn’t try to connect to hidden networks.

This trick works a treat. However to save aggravation, does anyone have a tip on how to disable OSMC trying to connect to hidden networks so I don’t have to search for a copper sheet every time the power flickers?

Next step is a small UPS I’d I can’t find a configuration fix.

Thanks in advance.

I am an 80 y.o. newby who has had this Vero 4k for more than 2 years, but still have no clue as to how to operate it.

Requirements:

View a relatively large 8TB collection of subtitled movies and TV shows on my non-smart 1080p plasma TV via HDMI input into my multi source selectable amplifier from the Vero 4k using the Vero remote via wired network. Phew! I hope that all makes sense.

Equipment:

Windows 11 on a relatively fast PC with TV shows and also Movies each on individual HDD's

Buffalo NAS Model LS-WVLA5F & very old, like me, but has backed up all my data for years, but there is no firmware to change from SMBv1 so I have changed Windows like this via:

Windows 11: Add or Remove Programs/ Turn windows features On or Off/SMB 1.0 File Sharing Support/Turn On

I know this is bad security wise but I cannot afford a new NAS at present.

Basically what are the recommended next steps with preferences to read directly from the NAS

I just got the official OSMC remote from pi hut.

It's advertised as RF, not needing light of sight. But this is infered! I have to stand up close to the Pi and have it pointed directly at the dongle for it to work!

Am I missing something here?

Hi I have just installed OSMC in my pi 4b and got a universal remote: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315348450354?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=bbycy3b-svy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=9hh5VLM5RE-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

But it will not work with OSMC but does work straight away with my windows 11 pc.

I have tried all the presets in the my OSMC remotes section and none work.

I did this before with a pi3 for my mum a long time ago with a cheap RII remote that just worked without issues.

Any help? Thanks

I’ve been eagerly waiting for OSMC support on the Raspberry Pi 5. Back in September 2023, there was a status update on the OSMC website about changes related to Raspberry Pi 5 support^(1). However, I haven’t heard any further news since then.

Does anyone know if there’s a test release available for OSMC on the Pi 5? Or perhaps an estimated timeline for the official release? I’m curious to know how long it took for OSMC to support the Raspberry Pi 4, so any insights would be appreciated!

I'm looking into Home Assistant, and I saw that it comes on a Pi, and then I thought, can it run alongside Kodi on a Vero V?

So what do you think?
