July 10, 201510 yr Author I'll admit it now...getting emulation setup on OE was a MAJOR PITA...especially the controllers.

July 11, 201510 yr Author Id your TFTP folder @ /mnt/cache/TFTP or a cache-only share @ /mnt/user/TFTP?
July 11, 201510 yr @johnodon, here are the answers to your questions (TFTP settings please see the attached screen shot). NFS is enabled in general (settings/NFS) and update as well as the VM share is cache-only. root@Tower2:~# cat /etc/exports "/mnt/cache" -async,no_subtree_check,fsid=10 *(sec=sys,rw,insecure,anongid=100,anonuid=99,all_squash) "/mnt/user/REC" -async,no_subtree_check,fsid=103 *(sec=sys,rw,insecure,anongid=100,anonuid=99,all_squash) "/mnt/user/appdata" -async,no_subtree_check,fsid=104 *(sec=sys,rw,insecure,anongid=100,anonuid=99,all_squash) "/mnt/user/backup" -async,no_subtree_check,fsid=101 *(sec=sys,rw,insecure,anongid=100,anonuid=99,all_squash) I can access all the required shares via NFS from my Mac.
July 11, 201510 yr Id your TFTP folder @ /mnt/cache/TFTP or a cache-only share @ /mnt/user/TFTP? Cache only share. I also tried changing the folders and syslinux versions multiple times. I confirmed that Kodi is able to see the folders through NFS.
July 11, 201510 yr Author Have you both verified that your router has network booting enabled/allowed? You can also use a TFTP client to ensure you are actually able to reach the TFTP server.
July 11, 201510 yr I guess that this is the issue in my case. Workaround here: http://blog.ociru.net/2013/03/11/pxe-with-a-fritzbox-without-modifications/ The question is: does the TPTP Docker provides the dnsmasq package and can it be modified accordingly?

July 11, 201510 yr That's excellent.....I just need to implement dnsmasq on unRaid and that seem not to be too adventurous The rest (from step 7 onwards) is not needed I guess. However, maybe Sparkly could consider to add dnsmasq into his TFTP Docker
July 11, 201510 yr Author Just remember that Grumpy's guide was written for unraid v5. There may be some subtle differences. I'm checking with sparkly about adding dnsmasq to the tftp container.
July 13, 201510 yr @Johndon, thanks for checking with sparkly if he could add dnsmasq into his TFTP Docker. I have implemented the package (the 64bit version is here: http://packages.slackware.com/?r=slackware64-current&p=dnsmasq-2.72-x86_64-1.txz). Message: Starting dnsmasq: /usr/sbin/dnsmasq dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 69: Address already in use I changed the TFTP port (see screen shot) and restarted dnsmasq: Starting dnsmasq: /usr/sbin/dnsmasq openElec was booting fine. You might have mentioned it but can I shorten the start of openElec? ("A start jobs running ....." needs 1 1/2min). TV via MythTV is running now !!! :D :D
July 13, 201510 yr Author You might have mentioned it but can I shorten the start of openElec? ("A start jobs running ....." needs 1 1/2min). Congrats! That timeout countdown should happen only once (in my experience). John
July 13, 201510 yr Thanks johnodon. Teh startup screen look like the fanart of Matrix, so I can't see what's going on but the start doesn't need that long any more. Some minor issues to solve, e.g. dnsmasq isn't starting via boot. This is what I'm having in my go file: # dnsmasq for PXE Boot installpkg /boot/custom/dnsmasq-2.72-x86_64-1.txz cp /boot/custom/dnsmasq.conf /etc chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.dnsmasq /etc/rc.d/rc.dnsmasq start That does' work....I always have the enter the command manually: root@Tower2:/boot/config# /etc/rc.d/rc.dnsmasq start Starting dnsmasq: /usr/sbin/dnsmasq Additionally my server completely crashed after coming back from S3 sleep. Anyhow, that's a great start. Thanks to you, sparkly and grumpy....
July 15, 201510 yr If anybody is interested in a docker container that provides proxy pxe booting and tftp services purely from dnsmasq (so ideal if you can't change the appropriate settings on your router), I spent some time yesterday getting it setup. I used sparklyballs tftp docker file as a base. You can grab it by cloning from my github https://github.com/butlerpeter/dnsmasq-docker The README.md file has the command line that I use to run it. Couple of things to be aware of: Two volumes are mapped - /config is where the dnsmasq configuration file gets stored and /tftpboot is the path to the tftp folder. When running pass an environment variable called HOST_ADDRESS which is set to the ip of your server (e.g. -e HOST_ADDRESS=192.168.0.10) You should be able to drop this in as a replacement for the tftp server section in johnodons guide I created it mainly for my own use but am happy to share. If anybody wants to "unraid-ify" it - creating docker manager templates and all of that please feel free as I have no idea how all of that hangs together as yet.

July 17, 201510 yr I haven't gotten around to creating an unRAID repository yet, but I have now set my dnsmasq docker container up on the docker registry. The link is https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/butlerpeter/dnsmasq-docker-unraid/
July 18, 201510 yr Author I'm compiling OE with Retroplayer (Isengard RC2) now: https://github.com/garbear/OpenELEC.tv :D Man I hope this works!

August 18, 201510 yr I've got PXE / TFTP working. I can PXE boot to OpenELEC. But I cannot get the video GPU pass-through working with an Nvidia GT 730. I know PXE is working b/c if I boot to VNC I watch the boot process although there is a video compatibility error which I assume is b/c of VNC. But it does boot. If I boot to the NVIDIA GeForce GT 730, I get no display not even during the PXE boot process but it will boot and I can eventually SSH into the OpenELEC. It's strange because I can video pass-through working via an Ubuntu 15.04 VM. So the video card seems compatible with GPU pass-through. The motherboard/CPU must also be compatible because it works on other VMs. Others said they had OE working with the GT 730 (which is why I chose it). But I cannot get video through OpenELEC. I tried both the SeaBIOS & OVFM. I've compared the xlm to johnodon's xml and don't see any major differences. Any suggestions? openelec-vm.txt
