Hi all, just noticed my OpenRGB patch stopped working, after some troubleshooting I realised it was due to the recent setting up of my 1st ever VM (steep learning curve that 1....lol) Basically once I bound my onboard Intel sound card to VFIO it stopped the patch from working, which makes total sense as SMbus & Serial Bus controller are in the same IOMMU group that is being passed through. I tried a few thing to free up resources for the Patch via modifying the syslinux config, but to no avail, those being: "modprobe.blacklist=i2c_i801,i2c_smbus" and unbinding the IOMMU group and binding only the sound device via "vfio-pci.ids=8086:43c8" So my question is can I utilise both at the same time?

Ok this has been resolved - turns out it was a bad flash of the bios. I re-flashed the older F8a bios and the errors cleared then I re-flashed the latest F8h bios and the errors also cleared.

Changed Status to Solved

Cheers @ghost82 you've been a legend over the last few days to say the least! If I've learnt anything over the last few days is just how complex VM's actually are, just so many variables it's impossible to keep track of. I think I'll stick with Libreelec for now, to much time spend and it does work. Windows.....F$%k no! I have installed it twice as a vm recently and both times it corrupted itself during windows updates. It's bad enough natively....lol thanks for all your help

I totally agree with you here, everything has been a struggle to implement on libreelec via Unraid VM. This is my 1st ever VM on any system and its been nothing but painful to say the least...... hence my rant on 1 of the other unraid threads. I wish I have of had the foresight and knowledge I have gained over the last few days back then before I started down this route Libreelec advertise "just enough os for kodi" which sounds perfect for a VM in my mind, but as you say it has to many limitations. Im currently using nfs and FYI I reluctantly rearranged my audio hardware to accommodate the lack of HDMI audio. What distro would you recommend with your expertise?

ok I changed the unraid share mode to manual and edited the mount tag to multimedia (all lower case) but still same error ############################################## # LibreELEC # # https://libreelec.tv # ############################################## LibreELEC (official): 10.95.0 (Generic.x86_64) Wacko-Libreelec-Kodi:~ # mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,posixacl,cache=loose multimedia /storage/test mount: mounting multimedia on /storage/test failed: No such device

Would the capital M in Multimedia cause and issue?

Yes sure does, created it via WinSCP

Hi there ghost82, its only been 24hrs....lol I've ran your code in libreelec ssh to test 1st, but i keep getting an error ############################################## # LibreELEC # # https://libreelec.tv # ############################################## LibreELEC (official): 10.95.0 (Generic.x86_64) Wacko-Libreelec-Kodi:~ # mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,posixacl,cache=loose Multimedia /storage/test mount: mounting Multimedia on /storage/test failed: No such file or directory

Just looked up that latest bios update, improvement for UNIC memory??? Also just found the bios F8a which I was on before, should I revert back to it or is this error worth worrying about?

hhhmmm, funny you mention BIOS update as I just recently updated my Gigabyte Z590 AORUS ELITE AX in the last few days with all this testing. Would it be worth re-installing the same update? as its already on the latest version.

Anybody have an experience in implementing the Unraid Share 9p Mode within Libreelec? There is no 9p mount script within Libreelec, like the scripts for SMB & NFS. The problem arises when trying to mount the share within Libreelec, all the info I can find on the unraid forums talk about utilising "fstab" to mount the share but libreelec has no "fstab" function. See here:https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/22051-can-t-edit-fstab/ I can setup NFS but seems pointless using the network when they are on the same system.

I've posted this error over on the Stable release thread as this is not related to prereleases. See here:

@ghost82 firstly thankyou kindly for all your help and expertise, sadly still no HDMI audio I'm afraid, see log attached. I just tried to exit Kodi, but I don't have that options within the Librelec/Kodi, but I did reboot kodi without rebooting the VM using a power menu from another skin but to no avail. I'll have a look at the other forum that you have mentioned and see what I can come up with. If I manage to fix this issue I'll be sure to post my findings back here. Cheers! libreelec Ispci -v log (3).txt

My bad, I undid all the changes I have done over the last few days to see if i could clear that error, but to no avail. Doing so must have reset the XML? Anyhow as of now my system devices is binded as in the original photo above, my syslinux configurations is : "append modprobe.blacklist=i2c_i801,i2c_smbus video=efifb:off initrd=/bzroot" and I have added your amended xml Attached is new log for Ispci -v cmd, sadly still no hdmi audio output. libreelec Ispci -v log (2).txt

Sorry for the delayed response got totally sucked into that error above, thanks for the link to the other thead, I have followed it up there. Please see attached log for the Ispci -v cmd Also searched the log and there is no mention of HDMI. libreelec Ispci -v log.txt

Just started getting this same error in the logs within the last 48hrs, I know this as I'm regularly checking the logs for errors after rebooting while testing out syslinux edits and the likes for VMs that are not working. I've also attached my diagnostics logs which indeed have the error recorded also. Should I be worried wacko-unraid-diagnostics-20230209-2102.zip

Sadly no change mate still no HDMI options, normally after reboot I like to check system logs for any errors and found these, is that related to the syslinux code?

Ok, i'll try this now with your VM xml config and let you know the results also the "video=efifb:off" is already in my syslinux as this was the only way I could get video on the the VM as Unraid had utilised the igpu from boot and this code prevents that. Please correct me if I'm wrong in my understanding.

Ok, copied xml over, updated and started VM. Sadly no hdmi, outputs are the same as in image above, I can also confirm serial bus was not passed-through but still bound to vfio

Thanks for the reply @ghost82 your help is much appreciated. Anyhow, please find attached a diagnostics zip as requested, also just to confirm audio is 00:1f.5 or .3? or have I picked that up wrong? wacko-unraid-diagnostics-20230209-1844.zip

Thanks for the reply mate, just to confirm I can passthrough Video & onboard soundcard to the Libreelec VM fairly easily.... now that I know what to do. In the pic below I only have sound output options for the rear i/o, what I'm missing is the HDMI options, which I know works when running the same Libreelec os natively outside of Unraid. Is there something else I need to passthrough? EDIT: Also is it worth continuing this discussion over on the original thread (if there is discussion to be had)

Sadly feel the exact same way as @beetlebug515 right now, I've literally wasted days on this with ZERO! replies to my posts on the UNRAID forums. See here: And here: I wish I had half the knowledge you devs had....I'd be bloody dangerous! The only responses I got where from the Libreelec forum, after troubleshooting its clear its an issue within unraid passthrough, that's after 2 days of searching and testing! Then I decided to try a windows 11 VM to test if I could get HDMI audio or even a video from my iGPU......LOL I should have know better...... Microsoft! I could only get VNC graphics to work, then any time I updated a driver or windows update that required a reboot it corrupted windows and would no longer boot! If passthrough of an iGPU is so difficult why is it only now in this forum that I am hearing about? It should be noted very clearly within the unraid VM gui itself. Like so many other things, modern iGPU cannot boot in legacy mode (their push for everything UEFI), i spent a day alone pulling my hair out on this! @SpaceInvaderOne so many times you mention to boot only in legacy mode but never once have you mentioned that its not possible without a dGPU. Now my finding could be so untrue / false, but after days of trial and error "LEARNING" this is what I have found to be true from my perspective Now I cant believe I've just called out SpaceInvaderOne & All devs on this forum, I'm so bloody grateful for all the work that you do because none of this would be possible without your hard work. All i ask is if someone who has the knowledge / foresight can tell me if what I'm trying to achieve is even possible to save me from wasting anymore of my time on a feature that clearly is a beta at best!
