App Central ends support for KODI (what we can do)

[father.mande]

Hi,
Please after doing : myHD start (or now if you don't change from last test)
do : tmux a
... then copy here the content of the screen (do exit to quit tmux)
myHD is started in a tmux windows (tmux is an alternative to screen)

Philippe.
NB please confirm your model and A.D.M. version

[Caesar-NL]

tmux -a doesn't work:

Code: Select all

root@AS5202T-1187:/ # myHD start
myHD start ... requested
get keys from Asportal / get sound def.
myHD astr user exist ...
Download Ubuntu if not yet available
Now start jchroot in background
now start in background a survey to manage a clean exit
==== PROBLEM : dropbear is not started after 1 minutes
==== DO NOTHING more
root@AS5202T-1187:/ # tmux -a

Hi,

OUPSSS!
it's : tmux a (without hyphen) ... corrected in my previous post now

so sorry

Philippe.
NB if possible (depend of your activity) you can try also to reboot, because something goes wrong without a clear explain ...
NB 2 in the future, open a separate topic for problems, more easy to manage (and in myHD sub-forum ... if possible)

This is a kind of crash course in Linux for me

Anyway, I don't understand what is going on:

The myHD share is clearly present ?!?

[father.mande]

Hi,

No, it's because you don't have a /share/myHD in /share or at minimal no access right for it ???

unable to mount '/share/myHD' on 'permanent': No such file or directory

(I will add a check in next version to avoid this problem ... )
verify doing : ls -ali /share
and do (to verify syntax) :
cat /usr/local/AppCentral/myHD/fstab_include

Please try first without this shared resource, so please try first :
1) stop myHD : myHD stop
2) go to folder /usr/local/AppCentral/myHD
cd /usr/local/AppCentral/myHD
3) delete file fstab_include and recreate it empty
rm -f fstab_include
touch fstab_include
4) restart myHD : myHD start

... if all start as expected ... go to myHD WebUI and add resource (ONLY valid (existing) resources in /share are listed and available for added it ... ) ; then restart myHD (command or WebUI to activate it)

Philippe.

The myHD WebUI will not start, it only causes a short 'blink' on the screen.

[father.mande]

Hi,

Yes, myHD exist BUT who add permanent after /share/myHD: in fstab_include ??? it's NOT the correct format
... be attention to don't restrict /share/myHD to root only (as now in your system) because Kodi or other applications are started under astr user ... so can't have access to it.

Please just keep /share/myHD: in fstab_include don't add anything after ...
better after restarting well (as you trace said) use myHD command to add /share/myHD

myHD add_include_folder /share/myHD (seems comment in myHD Usage can generate a misunderstanding, I will correct it in next release. )
then restart myHD

for the WebUI it's because you don't enable the Web server in A.D.M. (services / web server), I can't for security decide myself to enable the web server (reason to have all, also in command line)
after enabling it, restart myHD (soory but it's need to add a secure access user / password (myhd / asusfr1)

Philippe.
NB myHD shared resource is an option, if you prefer share Music and Media and don't add a specific share for myHD

[Caesar-NL]

I added permanent, assuming this means that myHD always has to use this share, not just this one time.

Indeed i had not set up the webserver, saw no need for it just now. But your application needs its, so I will enable it.

Don't know when I can try it out now, since after an update to 3.4.0R7N3 I have no picture on my TV, except for the mouse cursor. AiRemote does not work either, it can not see the NAS.Tony from Asustor support will be happy with my ticket.

Question: can you also make the Videolan VLC player work with myHD? They have an Ubuntu version. That would be great, I've used it on my PC for years now.

1) I have same problem with 3.4.0.R7N3 ... n my system I just enable Asportal, then all applications ... seems Update disabled it (I have write a post on this)

2) vlc ... yes why not it's not a problem

Hi Philippe,


Everything is working now, hurray !!!

In case your NAS has got a black screen on the TV after the ADM update as well, do this:

1. Switch off your TV
2. remove Asustor Portal from the NAS (with AppCentral)
3. Restart the NAS
4. Install Asustor Portal again
5. shut down the NAS
6. Switch on the TV
7. Start the NAS

Kodi is working now as well, I just can't figure out how I can it to connect to my share with the videos

By the way, Kodi 18.3 is current.
