Furby8704 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'm not going to get into whether it's a better solution than the headless docker, but just to let you know, I had it set up without a gpu through vnc. Only when I was testing and installing it, though. I then put in a gpu and have been using it that way how did you get it to boot?? Quote Link to comment

If you want to get something like this to work, you may need to install Kodi in a Windows or Linux VM. I know for a fact that Windows will work but never tried a Linux one. John Quote Link to comment

John IIRC both OE & LE (at least installing via LT's templates) work fine without a GPU passthrough. Not good enough to watch a movie but they work Quote Link to comment

John im not going to use the vm for viewing or anything i have a few addons that update/scan/clean folders just to have my library up to date and stuff ill point apps to the vm as well for scraping Quote Link to comment
DZMM Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I have a few quick questions: 1. How are you connecting remote controls (and which ones) to screens not in the same room as the PC? 2. Are you guys just using long HDMI cables to connect to TVs in other rooms? Thanks! Quote Link to comment

It was months ago, I honestly don't remember, but it wasn't really a challenge, it worked with the basic settings. I think I used seabios Did you try the built in oe/le that you can build easily with vnc Quote Link to comment

dnoyeb Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hrm, so I upgraded from 6.19 to 6.2 and found my old VM for openelec not working as expected anymore... so I went through the same steps to "recreate" the VM and now getting that dreaded click click click noise when using HDMI passthrough... argh... Tried using libreelec as well, and even the built in one.. all doing the same thing. Edit... so I put into play something I haven't had to use for a while... create file in config folder of libreelec /storage/.config/modprobe.d/sound.conf and put line options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 Which fixed it (it seems) I will play a couple movies to verify of course..

AngelEyes Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi, I'd like to run OpenElec or LibreElec as a VM in Unraid 6.2.1. I managed to get a Win10 install running after following the helpful YouTube video by Jon Panozzo and thought this would be fairly simple too. I must be as dumb as a rock but this guide doesn't seem too resemble what I am seeing in the VM tab. Do I use one of the templates and if not how do I create a custom VM for this? Sorry to be a PITA, I guess the guide assumes a modicum of intelligence. Thanks. Adam Quote Link to comment
mr-hexen Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 The guide was written up when the VM Manager App had a different "custom" page for creating VM's. I'd suggest trying starting with the Linux template. Quote Link to comment

I'd suggest trying starting with the Linux template. Thank you that helps. I get the feeling I am closer now. My XML looks a lot more like that in the OP. However when I run the VM I get the image load up and then some error messages appear at the top of the screen. Some of it is cut off but the rest reads: Error in mount_storage: mount_common: could not mount appconfig Starting debugging shell... type exit to quit can't access tty: job control turned off Any advice would be very welcome Thanks, Adam server-diagnostics-20161019-2150.zip Quote Link to comment

AngelEyes Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Ok.

AngelEyes Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Is this what you mean? Still same problem? After it errors on the loading screen, I force quite and go to edit the XML and it shows the <address lines back in again even though I deleted them and updated prior to running the VM. Not sure if this is just happening because if fails or it isn't saving the update...

AngelEyes Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Yes I tried that an LibreELEC as well. Both give me that error. I keep wondering if I have something more fundamental wrong, although the Win10 VM works a treat. Quote Link to comment
