14:34 <yangmobile> I was told about the service called Plex.tv, so I am interested if that is some kind of an IPTV service, which integrates into KODI? Or what is it?

14:35 <yangmobile> ah no discusssion about IPTV in topic...

15:56 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> Plex is an alternative to Kodi

15:57 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> it has a range of player apps for different OS, and a server component that is often run on NAS devices

15:58 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> Kodi even has an official player app that allows it to leverage a Plex server back-end

15:59 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> and at one point the semi-official ‘Plex Embedded’ distro for RPi/x86-64 was based upon LE (but with Plex app not Kodi)

15:59 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> I think that died off eventually

16:01 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> People who paid for the ‘Plex Pass’ can share their library to other Plex users; so it’s not IPTV but at one point there was trend of people selling access to their huge pirate movie collections .. but I think moves were made to curb that

16:03 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> I use Plex for remote streaming of content from home when I travel for work .. it will transcode on-the-fly to offer different stream sizes and qualities so I can fit something to the available (inevitably shitty) hotel bandwidth

17:33 <yang> chewitt ok thanks for the explanation, I made an account on their website

17:37 <yang> I already have also IPTV / VOD from the ISP provider. It comes with the internet fiber link. That one requires using their own (proprietary?) set-top box. I was always interested if I could integrate that into KODI aswell, to only use the KODI interface for Video/Music/IPTV, but someone told me it's complicated.

18:11 <th0n1> is libreelec debian based

18:11 <th0n1> ?

18:12 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> no, it's has its own unique structure

18:13 <th0n1> I'm trying to setup proton vpn

18:14 <th0n1> apt-get

18:17 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> there is no package manager, but you can install some programs via kodi addons

18:17 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> I'm not familiar with vpn setup, so someone else will have to help you

18:18 <th0n1> ok, thank you.

18:18 <th0n1> I guess I have to do it manually.

18:48 <yang> Do I need to plug in computer+mouse on rpi4 installation to the TV?

18:48 <yang> or is TV remote suffcient?

18:48 <FriskyKat> th0n1 you could try https://github.com/Zomboided/service.vpn.manager

19:52 <yang> I got it installed

21:33 <MrTAP> yang: I use the Kore app on my phone to control it

21:33 <yang> I am happy with the TV remnote

21:33 <MrTAP> only hook up a keyboard just long enough to get LE online and enable the web service

21:33 <yang> remote

21:33 <yang> it worked without keyboard

21:33 <MrTAP> perfect there ya go

21:33 <yang> :)

21:34 <MrTAP> my tv isn't cool enough to let me use its remote with LE :(

21:34 <yang> oh

21:34 <yang> Mine has this thing called CEC module

21:34 <MrTAP> yep that is the ticket

21:34 <yang> it's been working since 10 years ago in KODI on RPI 1 A

21:35 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> CEC has often to be enabled on TV

21:36 <yang> right in the early versions it had to be enabled

21:36 <yang> now it seemed to be automatic

21:36 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> no, on my LG TV I still had to enable it

21:37 <yang> Do you remember where exactly is that option in the menu?=

21:37 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> no, but it shouldn't be that hard to find 🙂

21:38 <LEBot> [slack] <jernej> biggest problem is that every manufacturer calls CEC differently

21:38 <yang> I notice my LE 10.0.2 got a bit frozen for a few minutes, maybe because SD card was in use with the transfer, and it couldn't process the video on the SD card, I mean it stalled for a minute or two...

21:39 <MrTAP> yeah I have an LG... actually just looked it up and they call it Simplink. Maybe that's why I couldn't find anything CEC-related in the menus

21:49 <yang> Is it possible to change then ssh port?

21:49 <yang> the

21:52 <MrTAP> not sure, but why would you want to?

21:58 <yang> for security reasons

22:01 <MrTAP> wouldn't make much of a difference unless you expect an attacker to already be on your lan and not try hard

22:02 <Ommand> might want to start with changing the username and password, if you're concerned with security

22:06 <yang> oh i have a password changed

22:07 <yang> ok it's not a big deal

22:07 <yang> just wondered if there is an option in the menus

22:59 <Ommand> the way I see it, if someone is able to get access to your libreelec machine you've already majorly fucked up
