@sam_nazarko per our other conversation, I’ll start here.
So on initial setup, I wanted to utilize WiFi. I was able to pull an IP, but nothing would function. I changed my router to from 80 Mhz to 40 and 20 to see if that would clear up the problem. It made it marginally better, but still couldn’t get it to move data. I could see the identified device on my router (only on 20Mhz and 40Mhz), but it still wouldn’t load updates or the app store. I ended up adding a WiFi extender and hard-wiring to clear it up.
The Kodi Plex app is really old, and won’t even open. I can dig up the logs if that helps. It looks like there were Python issues. Plex HTPC is on version 1.108.1.307 and the Kodi app was on 0.3.5 (abandoned 2018)… so not sure if it’s even worth trying to get it to load. I tried looking for a work around, but Plex’s HTPC App doesn’t work on ARM. Their “linux” support starts and ends with Flatpak or Snap, and neither have an ARM version. There are Android app versions, but I didn’t go down that train.
I spun up a Jellyfin instance on my Plex Server, and downloaded the Jellyfin for Kodi app. My library is too large, and everything times out within the Jellyfin app. I was only able to get the Ramdom Picks menu to work, as it randomly grabs 25 movies to display.
Lastly, this is probably out of your control, but I really want to use Steam Link. I was able to get it installed, and spent hours adding in all of the missing pieces. The last thing I couldn’t make work was the following error:
shell: error while loading shared libraries: libvcos.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
screenblank: error while loading shared libraries: libvcos.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Most people suggest upgrading their “Raspberry Pi” to Bookworm to solve this issue. I’m willing to try and troubleshoot further to try and make those things work. I’d prefer to use Plex if there is a way to make it happen. Jellyfin is clunky.
Thank You!
