I’m not sure about your suggestion of testing the Vero V on the same port as the Vero 4. The Vero 5 is the server in this situation so currently is attached to all the hard drives. I would think I’d just get a boatload of errors in the logs if I disconnected the Vero 5 from the hard drives and connected it to the HDMI where the Vero 4 currently is. Or maybe I’m misunderstanding your suggestion.
I think I might at this time do a clean install. However I might do the previous version of the OSMC (previous to October 2024) as that one (as far as I can remember) seemed to work before. Just to make sure it isn’t a new software issue.
BTW, I also did the Iperf3 with wifi. Here are the results:
I just did the reinstall of August 2024 OSMC for Vero 4/4+. The only changes I made after to the OSMC was copying the fstab from one client to this one, and also copying the advancessetting.xml file. The first is to deal with NFS, the second to deal with the Mysql.
It would seem that still there are significant network errors. I see a bunch of 404 when trying to get images for the movies. There were also delays when opening a blu ray. Didn’t bother trying a 4k.
If you have any more suggestions, please let me know. I’d love to be able to figure out why this is happening instead of just replacing switches and long runs of network wire to try to troubleshoot. The network wire that would need replacing is about 50 feet that runs through the wall that won’t be fun to replace.
I just realized that it makes no sense to replace the switches and the wires. If I’m getting the same errors with wired AND wireless, it has to be something other than the switches and the wires.
I already did the reinstall without restoring anything from the backup except advancedsettings.xml and fstab (see above). I still had the same problem.
I don’t have contact cleaner. If you think that the HDMI port could be causing the network issues b/c of the EDID (Sam said no), then I’ll pick that up. Will take a bit to test that b/c I’ll have to get it. Let me know and if so I’ll order it right away.
I’ll try replacing the power supply. I’m assuming, for testing purposes, that I can use the power supply from my Vero V?
Swapping the power supply didn’t fix the problem.
I’ve checked and it appears Isopropyl alcohol can be used as a contact cleaner. Just let it evaporate prior to re-plugging in the cord. I’ll try that a bit later tonight.
As a summary, I’ve switched the network cables, tried wifi, swapped the power supply, did a reinstall only adding two files from the backup, and checked the network connections between the client and server using Iperf3. None of this has fixed the problem.
Just to reiterate, I believe that since wifi and wired (logs attached in posts above) seem to run into the same problem, the issue therefore would not be the switch or the network cables between the switches. It could of course still be a router or perhaps some network setting, but not the cables or the switches between the router and the Vero 4K since that wouldn’t affect wifi as well. Let me know if this is incorrect.
Could my DNS settings be incorrect? I am able to see the files when I cd into /mnt so at least they are there. Is there anything else I can try here?
Well find myself HERE! I just did the same. Been using Plex server with Firesticks no problems past 2 years. So since I updated my PC to 5x 22TB drives left me with many 8TB seagate usb drives. So went through all my Raspberries 2 thur 3’s non do not support 4K. I remembered I own Vero 4K+ So figured I will make a Xmas present 8TB usb drive loaded with 4K content and updated the Vero to latest img OSMC_TGT_vero3_20241104 after scanning in the library did a quick test everything played…Well I couldnt leave well enough alone I wanted the Skin to be less boring! So added Amber Skin and now get the OSMC Boot Scoot Boogey sad face after reboot about 10 seconds in MAN by now I would of thought this was all in the past by now. GEESH back to square ONE! Guess I will redo and leave the boring SKIN on.
It would not be a DNS issue as the issues are with IP addresses already.
Surely something wrong with either the server or the network.
2024-12-22 13:43:27.129 T:3008 error <general>: Unable to open database: MyVideos131 [2002](Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.1.15' (101))
2024-12-22 13:43:27.129 T:3008 error <general>: SQL: [MyVideos131] The MySQL server has gone away
I would login the Vero with SSH and check if you can connect to the SQL server from command line
Sorry. My search brought me to the first 2 sentences in the FIRST post.
BlockquoteI haven’t used my Vero 4k+ in a couple months. I just decided to update it (when I was prompted). Now it is stuck at the blue screen with the OSMC logo.
At least it gives some ideas what user and password could have been used and has to be enterd in the advancedsettings.xml and to have a look into the sources.xml on the client.
root most likely is limited to localhost unless you open it up.
If you have configured osmc user try to login with -u osmc or any user you have configured for remote access to the mysql server.
Thanks Jim. This caught my attention since one of the files I did not transfer over from the backup (I only copied two) was sources.xml (I did however transfer over advancedsettings.xml). It appears the sources.xml file is still a default. Could this be the problem? I’ll try to post the sources.xml file.
That was the issue. I was able to log into mysql server from the client. I was able to use the MyVideos131 database and also do a select command on the files table. All went smoothly.
Your network connections, i.e. opening video files for read are failing according to your latest logs, even though you say you ‘cd’ (change directory) to the folder, to see files.
Using ‘autofs’ instead of a simple NFS mount, is more reliable in my experience.
Hopefully you already have access to your Vero using SSH in order to set this up.
MAN by now I would of thought this was all in the past by now. GEESH back to square ONE! Guess I will redo and leave the boring SKIN on.
