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?

I'm looking for a 1-5TB external hard drive to use on my Vero V on a daily use without worrying about losing data. Do you recommend which external hard drive for my needs ? I have a DAS (x4 HDDs for backup) which plugs into my PC under GNU/Linux

Hi :)

I am investigating on how to use moonlight on RPi4 to stream games over ethernet from my pc.

I found that in the past there was a launcher for OSMC called Luna. All the information I could find are 5y+ though.

Is there any addon or guide that are still valid today?

Thank you!

After rebooting to install the update, there no video output or anything. The red lighr stays on and there a green led blinking but no output whatsoever.

I'll have to take it down and connect it to a spare monitor to see if it works but even with a fresh install of both April and May updates no luck.

Anyone else come across this?

Trying to get my Pi3B+ OSMC to work with a PC monitor. HDMI video but split the audio to 3.5mm. Found a Boot.Config fix but it did nothing.

I want to update offline on my Vero V, not SSH, is this possible ?

My OSMC Version is Kodi 20.2

Hello - I have an unused 1TB SD card floating around, I'm wondering whether there's any upside/downside to using that for both the OS and media library in my vero4k compared to my current setup, which has a 16GB SD card for the OS, and a 500GB SSD connected via USB for the media library. Does anyone do this? Is there any benefit?

Hi all,

Trailers used to work (info>trailers) by opening the youtube addon. However it has recently changed to using an addon called tubed? This seems to be a project that is currently abandoned and no longer works. How can I change it back to using the Youtube addon?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

My Vero 4k randomly will have a really laggy UI after playing content. I also notice it will really struggle with MPEG-2 video when this happens. A reboot fixes this every time.

It is updated to the latest version. Using default skin

Also seems to crash fairly often.

Any advice appreciated
