Hello

 

A totally Noob question about this. I have KODI on many devices in my house and I use MySQL centralized database via advancedsettings.xml

 

Every time I add new media I manually run library scan on one of the devices (usually my main PC). How does this headless docker help me? I understand that it's on 24/7 but do I still need to manually trigger the library update or does it somehow watches for changes in my media library folders?

 

Ideally I would like something like Plex where adding new files triggers the update by itself.

 

thanks

Is it possible to change the webserver to chorus, or possibly chorus2, and ports etc ? They've apparently gotten pretty good at the streaming of stuff from through chorus (although I''m not sure how many formats are supported). So people who don't need transcoding would have another streaming option outside of emby and plex, or using yatse. Their default webserver is GOD awful, but it does have the update and clean library buttons which is nice, especially for a centralized DB. Chorus is much nicer but it lacks the "clean" button, in an  easily accessible menu. You can access a tools menu through chorus that allows you to very easily send a whole ton of JSON commands (including all the "clean library" functions, so they are accessible through Chorus) in various ways to your kodi box. I would think it would be a much nicer option and infinitely more useful in your docker Sparkly, but obviously just a suggestion :D 

I'm thinking of installing this docker and moving to a shared DB, but I've never used a central DB. I have all giga networking and cat6, a more than capable home router, but I have a fairly large library and I am wondering how much noticeable lag people get when you just hold down the button on your remote and fly through your movies? Or if you try to play trailers, or bring up extended metadata is there any noticeable difference?  This would definitely be superior to what I do now, which is have each kodi box update at startup, and I have notifications from all of my automation to all of my different kodi boxes as well and if one isn't on, it obviously doesn't update until it wakes back up. This would eliminate that as well. In my opinion going to all of the trouble to build a nice NAS and collection, and proper htpc's, I want the best possible media experience. Meaning that I don't want any noticeable lag at all when browsing just about whatever sized library. I have the newest stable Isengard and Aeon Nox 3 on all of my htpc's and all of the nicer 1080p fanart, etc. enabled. What's the experience like for you guys?

Hi all!

 

I managed to get this headless version to work on my Synology NAS (DS412+)

I have access to it, but cover art doesn't show up or just partly.

Also I get this error message all the time: "Connection to server lost" When I refresh the message disappears, but comes back afterwards... I don't know if it's related.

 

 

I'm using path substitution in advancedsettings.xml for thumbnails to share them among my other Kodi clients

     	<substitute>
    		<from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/</from>
     		<to>nfs://my.ip.address/volume1/XBMCmedia/Thumbnails/</to>
    	</substitute>

 

 

I didn't mount a share in the volume tab, maybe that can be the issue??

Some suggested that it has someting to do with NFS permissions. As I know, everything is set right.

Does anyone has a suggestion on what to change or how to get it to work?

 

Thanks!

As indicated on the first post, this is for Unraid support only.  If you want support for a different platform please post on our forums at linuxserver.io or visit our IRC channel #linuxserver.io

 

 

EDIT: Just realised this is Sparklyballs' version which is now deprecated. Please use the linuxserver.io version.
