DLP Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 More trouble with OpenElec and PleXBMC. Everything was working until I decided to change unRAID to a static IP address. I did it from the network settings screen. When I applied it I lost communication with the server. Investigation showed the network.cfg file was blank. I copied the file from my initial download files and restarted it and it found a new address and I was able to connect to it again. When I tried starting my OpenELEC VM gave me an error saying it couldn't find or connect to br0 (something like that). I ended up deleting the VM and all the OpenELEC files and redoing the VM.Then spent the whole day trying to get PleXBMC going again. No matter what I do I it will not find the content on my Plex Media Server in Docker. PMS is running and I can view movies from it on another box on the network. I don't think I am doing anything different setting it up but it sure doesn't work. Below it the XML file, Any help would be appreciated. I hate to say this but with all the trouble I have had I'm really feeling like unRAID should still be in the beta stage not a paid for product. <domain type='kvm' id='2' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'> <name>OpenELEC</name> <uuid>04768d21-869d-b6df-3ab9-e13f20b64f91</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate name="OpenELEC" icon="openelec.png" os="openelec" openelec="5.95.3_1"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>524288</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>524288</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> <locked/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-2.3'>hvm</type> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> <topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='utc'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/cache/appdata/OpenELEC-unRAID.x86_64-5.95.3_1.img'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hda' bus='virtio'/> <readonly/> <boot order='1'/> <alias name='virtio-disk0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x03' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <alias name='usb'/> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x03' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='sata' index='0'> <alias name='ide'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pcie-root'> <alias name='pcie.0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='1' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge'> <alias name='pci.1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1e' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='2' model='pci-bridge'> <alias name='pci.2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <alias name='virtio-serial0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </controller> <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/mnt/user/appdata/OpenELEC/'/> <target dir='appconfig'/> <alias name='fs0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </filesystem> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:5c:de:ad'/> <source bridge='virbr0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/0'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/OpenELEC.org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0' state='disconnected'/> <alias name='channel0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x1267'/> <product id='0x0103'/> <address bus='1' device='5'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x20a0'/> <product id='0x0001'/> <address bus='1' device='4'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev1'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x0e8d'/> <product id='0x1956'/> <address bus='1' device='3'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev2'/> </hostdev> <memballoon model='virtio'> <alias name='balloon0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=2,chassis=1,id=root.1'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,bus=pcie.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=01:00.1,bus=pcie.0'/> </qemu:commandline> </domain> Quote Link to comment
smakovits Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 why not try PKC instead of plexbmc, its beta but a much better solution Quote Link to comment
smakovits Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 just tried again with libreelec, same result, no bitstream passthrough support with 6450. Either I hope kodi adds support soon or just drop $$ for a new card Quote Link to comment
curtdwar Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Is there any way to download the template and img directly, I don't have internet at home for another 10-20 days, I'd like to set up openelec now...impatient I know!. I tried setting it up from an image from OpenELEC following the guide in this forums but it keeps getting errors before loading, so thought i'd try the Limetech template. cheers. appreciate any help offerred.

Monkeyair Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Has anybody managed to pass through a Pulse Eight CEC HDMI adapter to their Openelec 6 VM in Unraid 6.2.0 beta21? I managed it in the 6.1.9 Openelec template with the following addition to the XML: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x82' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> </hostdev> Adding this to the XML of VM 6 brings up the PCI device in the Other PCI Devices box of the setup page, but the VM will not work with this line added to the XML. Appreciate any help as the Wife will soon get sick of having to use the iphone to work the TV Quote Link to comment

Appreciate any help as the Wife will soon get sick of having to use the iphone to work the TV Hey Dave, Can't help you as I've never used any CEC kit but another way of achieving WAF would be to use a FLIRC. Then you'd be cool just passing through USB. I use one for my main HTPC but confess to never having tried it in a VM but may be an option for you. Quote Link to comment
Monkeyair Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Hi Neil Long time no speak. Hope that you are well mate. The Pulse Eight adapter is great and worked a treat with the VM previously, so I'm determined to get it working with the new stuff. It is just great to be able to control everything with the TV remote. I found the FLIRC temperemental. I see that you have been busy with the second job mate. It's all looking great.

Monkeyair Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I was barking up completely the wrong tree! With the new Openelec template you do not need to think too much about passing through devices, it does it for you. On a previous build I was passing through an entire PCi-e USB hub to enable the use of a Pulse Eight adapter. Now you just plug it in to a USB slot and select it. Awesome! I would recommend one of these devices to anyone with an openelec VM. Quote Link to comment
aptalca Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Any word on when we might see a LibreELEC 7 image? OpenELEC 6 is a little stale now since it is based on Kodi 15, and not latest stable. I see that the custom images are hosted on Eric Schultz's Github, but I didn't see any new activity. The reason I'm asking is because I use a mysql setup, which requires all clients to use the same version (database version) and all my other clients are on Kodi 16. Thanks Quote Link to comment
ThEgOg Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 any info on when this will be updated to a newer version? Quote Link to comment

Monkeyair Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 LibreElec VM. It's there all ready to go. Get on it Quote Link to comment
ThEgOg Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Ah ok, I don't have the expertise to play round with a beta I'm afraid. I've just got my server running how I want it:-/ Is the Libreelec Vm a preconfigured download the same as the openelec one in unraid 6? Many thanks for the replies Quote Link to comment
SpaceInvaderOne Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 yes it is just click and install! Quote Link to comment
bam Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi guys, why "A discrete (PCIe) graphics adapter (NVIDIA/AMD) is required (no on-board graphics supported)"? Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi guys, why "A discrete (PCIe) graphics adapter (NVIDIA/AMD) is required (no on-board graphics supported)"? OpenElec needs a graphics adapter to work and on board graphics can't be passed through yet. Quote Link to comment
NotYetRated Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Updated to 6.2, attempted to install a fresh openelec VM using the unraid default. I get a openelec/kodi boot screen, but it hard crashes. Searching the log in my openelec appdata folder I find this tidbit: 02:11:03 T:140213840799616 ERROR: GLX Error: No Display found 02:11:03 T:140213840799616 FATAL: CApplication::Create: Unable to init windowing system System is with mostly defaults of the template, OVMF, Q35-2.5, 1GB RAM, AMD 6450 graphics card. Diags attached, openelec log attached. I am new to openelec and Kodi, google did not get me far in my search for this issue.

mr-hexen Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Try changing bios to seabios from OVFM. If that doesn't work follow these instructions. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=44683.0 Quote Link to comment
DLP Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I updated to unRAID 6.2.1 and it broke my openELEC. I tried re-installing the VM but it won't start. I'm getting: "Failed to start org Server See systemctl status xorg.service for details." I have no idea what Xorg server is! Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment

I'm getting: "Failed to start org Server See systemctl status xorg.service for details." I have no idea what Xorg server is! Can anyone help? I've had the same issue upgrading to 6.3.0. I am running a Nvidia GT720. The VM works when run with a VNC but not when the GPU is selected on the template. I tried the old "options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1" but no joy. Any ideas on this? This setup worked fine until I upgraded..... Quote Link to comment
Monkeyair Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I have gone back to 6.2.1 and all works again... Quote Link to comment

You will have to install openelec as a Linux VM putting the install media as the primary vdisk then installing to a second vdisk. There is a tutorial in the forums for how to do this. Once installed this way you can update the normal way. Quote Link to comment
