Sorry, I was out for a couple of days. Do not edit the cfg file on your own. If you are not sure what block to modify (and both me and you don't know it) you may force flash a wrong firmware and trash your card. As I wrote you should contact the reseller of the card, the dealer or intel, depending on where you got the card, give them the serial number and model number so they can identify the exact model and provide you the correct firmware.

this one, I missed a thing: <!-- WARNING: THIS IS AN AUTO-GENERATED FILE. CHANGES TO IT ARE LIKELY TO BE OVERWRITTEN AND LOST.

One thing to add to this is that the network card could be a intel one but not retail, for example sold by dell or hp, etc: if you look at your screenshot you will see 0x80001440 (this is your EEPID), which is not in the package you downloaded (file nvmupdate.cfg, both EEPID and REPLACES sections). If you search in internet you will find some posts about the same issue with intel/dell cards, ex: https://community.intel.com/t5/Ethernet-Products/Intel-X710-T2L-NVM-Update-to-7-3-Failing/td-p/664667 Note that adding your id to an incompatible firmware may damage your card.

😆😆😆 Sorry for this, but this is funny if said by a senior engineer..a feature request to have a library on a network storage...it doesn't seem too strange to store a several gb library on a network storage share..and apple should be one of the top? 👎 There was a time apple broke samba itself, nothing new for me in reading this But ehi, every year we have new emoticons! 🤐

Best option is to keep it local.

There are lots, really lots of reports of mac os ventura having issues with smb shares; it's not smb, it's not linux, it's mac os ventura that needs polishing..I think there's nothing to do here, only waiting for apple to fix it, if it will fix it. Just report/send to apple that report.

The package is wrong then, because it lists the x550-t2 but under status it says update not available, so I presume the firmware for that model is not included in that package. I cannot be of more help here unfortunately, if I were you I would try to contact intel to ask how to update the firmware of that network controller.

As you can see from the source: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/blob/master/distributions/LibreELEC/kernel_options there's no trace of 9p...

Yes I read but please take into account that unraid should be the latest to blame because virtualization is not developed by unraid, but it's based on qemu/libvirt: unraid gives you a gui, very useful for people approaching virtualization to be able to interact with qemu and libvirt. Passthrough is nothing but vfio, which is a feauture of linux kernel. You can have the same virtualization capabilities with any other os by installing on it qemu and libvirt, with a lot more developement since you need to configure most of the time all the things manually, and it could be very tricky, especially if you want to passthrough things, and especially igpus. Everything can happen, bios bugs, host os bugs, libvirt/qemu bugs, guest os bugs, ovmf bugs..it's not like just put a check here and another check there and run a vm with gpu, audio, usb, etc..unraid tries to do this, but obviously with some limitations. Approaching virtualization requires a lot of time, I started about 3-4 years ago and I keep learning new things even now, without taking into consideration that qemu and libvirt are updated and you need to keep up to date with the changes. However, in your case, most of the things on the host side seem to work, igpu video is passed through, igpu audio too, which in my opinion are the most difficult things to make them work. I would not know what distro to recommend, I would go for most popular linux distros, arch or manjaro for example, even a windows vm can work with kodi (but I would go with linux since you are mostly sure that igpu works, unless you want to experiment windows).

I'm not sure libreelec is capable of mounting 9p..qemu wiki says to enable some things in the kernel configuration of the guest: https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup and since libreelec does not support running in virtualization environments I don't think it's capable..You may ask in libreelec forum if libreelec is able to mount 9p shares, but I think its default kernel is not configured to be able to do it. Why not using any other linux distro and install kodi on it instead of libreelec?it seems it's such limited..It's very good for multimedia streaming, I run it in a raspberry, but in a vm, it would not be my primary choice at all. Or why not using a smb share: it's true that 9p should be able to give more performance, but there should be not such a difference..

now the message changed, it's no more no such file or directory but no such device, and it makes me think about the Multimedia tag, but I don't know what's wrong..

Can you double check this in the libreelec terminal: cd /storage/test

Does the folder /storage/test exists in libreelec? in libreelec: mkdir /storage/test

It's not the driver but the firmware. Every device usually has an utility to upgrade the firmware. I take no responsibility for this From what I read for the x550-at2 you should need this package: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19358/non-volatile-memory-nvm-update-utility-for-intel-ethernet-network-adapter-x550-series.html If you want to try to update the firmware from within unraid, check the linux user guide: https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/networking/nvm-update-tool-quick-linux-usage-guide.html Start reading from paragraph: Verifying Driver, Image Version, and Package Inventory, page 7. Basically: 1. check firmware version from the unraid terminal: ethtool -i eth0 Check that the firmware version is <3.60 2. extract the zip archive you downloaded somewhere, extract X550_NVMUpdatePackage_v3_60_Linux.tar.gz. 3. cd in the terminal to the extracted package: cd /path/where/you/extracted/files/X550_NVMUpdatePackage_v3_60/X550/Linux_x64/ 4. give executable permissions to the tool: chmod 755 nvmupdate64e 5. run the tool: ./nvmupdate64e

Does it work if you add --no-bin-links? npm install --no-bin-links Update: read now that you already tried..no more suggestions

If it doesn't support fstab the only option you have is to manually mount the share somewhere: mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,posixacl,cache=loose MountTag /path/to/mount/point Maybe you can create a startup script in libreelec

Last chance..try to put the audio on bus 0 slot 1f: qemu should already had that defined as multifunction: <domain type='kvm'> <name>Libreelec</name> <uuid>95170484-4711-898d-d1da-8da9fe928b9d</uuid>

the vm check with lspci -v in the vm that the audio is on bus 0, slot 1f function 5. However in all the other cases the audio controller is recognized by the linux kernel and the correct driver for it is loaded, snd_hda_intel. I would blame (if I have to blame something) libreelec implementation for this issue, since both qemu and libvirt are passing through correctly the audio device and the linux kernel is loading properly the audio driver. You could try also this: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/5555-audio-issues/ ..if you can understand what they mean at the end of the discussion... You could also try, without restarting the vm, to exit kodi and start again and see if the audio shows: https://www.getdroidtips.com/how-to-fix-kodi-no-sound-error-in-2-minutes/#Method-2-8211-Restart-Kodi Check the paragraph "use the exit command"

Yes, there is, but it's on bus 2 slot 1, instead of bus 0 slot 3.. did you apply my changes to the xml?Recheck xml

Can you check in the vm if the hdmi is detected at all from command line? Run this in the libreelec terminal: lspci -v Don't know, I think no. There was a report here: https://forums.unraid.net/bug-reports/prereleases/hardware-error-r1676/

Correct, efifb is a must to have video output in your case.

Can you try to add these to your syslinux configuration to blacklist i2c? modprobe.blacklist=i2c_i801,i2c_smbus It should be something like this for the append line: append modprobe.blacklist=i2c_i801,i2c_smbus video=efifb:off initrd=/bzroot Reboot the server after changes
