I can't see the images as works firewall blocks most things. So if it is Openelec, you are logging is to the device as root / openelec ?

If I go in by SSH yes. Thats not the problem though, I cant copy anything into the SYSTEM file (where everything is located). It said "operation not permitted"
 
Sure:

2nd (error message when I try to copy anything into the folder)

No its no use, I cant copy things. I can copy stuff OUT of the folder onto my desktop, but not into it.
When I try to duplicate the skin.confluence folder or make one myself, get the same message.
And yeah I don't see why its so locked down. I've tried openelec and osmc both the same.
 
Yeah it seems it isn't an easy workaround, from looking further into in, you'll need to use some form of overlayfs but not something I have played around with
 
I've just done a full format and reinstall of windows 10, first time i've done this in about 3-4 years.

Anyhow, I had a setup where by i'd mapped my red button on the harmony remote to the keypress Ctr + Alt + enter, and used an AutoHotKey script to use that keypress to open Kodi.

After installing a fresh windows 10 I can't seem to get windows to map the red button to the key press. Anyone know how I can do this? i'm sure before I didn't have to install a separate app to capture the button press then map it.

Any tips?
 
I updated kodi to the latest and also my graphics card drivers. Since I did that Ive had nothing but problems either I couldn't get full surround or I got crashing.

I updated to windows 10 and still had problems this time with regards to hardware decoding. It would somtimes work and other times it would crash straight away.

I have spent the past month trying to sort it out.

Last night I decided to try openecle and 45 minutes later my htpc was up and running with all my movies and tv shows.

I've not had one issue and the best thing is that 24hz refresh actually works now unlike before on windows where it has never worked properly.

My only gripe is that scrolling through all the movies and tv shows isn't as smooth as it was before but I usually use my phone to browse my videos anyway.

I admit at first I was worried because when I first tried a Linux build of xbmc a couple of years ago I couldn't get access to all my videos as they are on a Windows server and due to the permissions i would always get access not granted messages
 
Hi,

I just got myself a Hp Proliant Gen8 and I was hoping to run kodi on it.

I need a bit of guidance really.

I installed Ubuntu and installed Kodi but it seems it can't load the GUI and I've read conflicting things about whether or not I need to add a gpu to the system.

try openelec
you can install it and run it from a usb stck, saves messing with your current setup

I had freezing issues with the new one as well. I just stick with 14.2. Such a stable version, no need to change atm.

I tried a build openelec, it said that it couldn't start and to check the hardware requirements, is there a specific build you could suggest?

This is what brought me to ask whether you need a discreet GPU, as I've read conflicting things.

server specs (proliant is a generic hp term for server, model?)?
Installer wouldn't start, or it was installed and wouldn't start?

HP ProLiant Gen8 G1610T 4Gb ram (That enough? I thought the gen8 would specify it enough, but google says there's lots)

It installed, but 'failed to start xorg'
Then said to check the hardware requirements.
