You could have an ext4 partition with almost 70 gb free (i.g. on KDE partition manager) but only a few more than 10 gb available in Dolphin.
Indeed free and available are not the same: free means the total space (available for root), available (in Dolphin) is the space for a single user.
If that partition is not a root one (=is not /) you could do something like:
sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sdxx
in the code above replace sdxx with the real name of your partition (you can know it, i.g. doing df -h), that is something like sdb8 or sdc6.
Be careful! Make sure that you have enough linux knowledge to do safely this kind of command. At your risk.
After your command, you should see that in that partition your user-available space is only 1gb less of the total space (that is 70 – 1). If your command would have been
Very painful to make it working. But something is being to become possible.
If Kodi, in you new OpenAtv installation (after restoring settings from another release) starts only from an external device (the device you used to restore settings and flash the new image) you can try to modify the kodi script in /usr/bin.
In this way:
you can reach your decoder from your PC via terminal, with something like
:~$ ssh root@sf8008.local
if you have more than a partition on your decoder, you have to change your keys every time (each partition has its own keys), so you have to begin with:
:~$ ssh-keygen -R sf8008.local
# Host sf8008.local found: line 1
/home/[your-username]/.ssh/known_hosts updated.
Original contents retained as /home/[your-username]/.ssh/known_hosts.old
:~$ ssh root@sf8008.local
kf.notifications: Failed to play sound with canberra: File or data not found
Warning: Permanently added 'sf8008.local' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.
root@sf8008:~#
and then you can do
nano /usr/bin/kodi
find something like
[ -d /media/mmc ] && export HOME="/media/mmc"
[ -d /media/hdd ] && export HOME="/media/hdd"
and replace it with
ountpoint -q /media/hdd && export HOME="/media/hdd"
mountpoint -q /media/mmc && export HOME="/media/mmc"
in my case, it did the trick.
Wrong zoom
To avoid a wrong zoom and a wrong position of the resized screen (with a black space on left and part of Kodi screen invisible, impossible to set/fix), avoid to start Kodi standalone (in Openatv – >plungis browser -> Kodi).
Fine tuning
However there were still big problems:
no way to reach a chapter and see that video normally (you can see a very slow video, almost still),
no way to resume a video from the last position,
no way to go forward or rewind (using the left right key).
Today I managed to resolve the first two ones:
settings – > player -> adjust display rate -> always
settings – > player -> sync playback -> on
settings – > player -> allow hardware acceleration – STB -> off
as you can see in the screenshot below
Problems in OpenATV 7.6 can see found in their forum.
You could have a kernel panic problem, booting your SO (.i.g Linux).
A possible cause could be Virtualbox (an old release of it). In this case you can try the followings steps
sudo apt remove --purge virtualbox virtualbox-dkms
sudo dkms remove virtualbox/7.0.16 --all || true
and
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo dpkg --configure -a
and (you can change the number of kernels, of course, to adapt them to your situation)
sudo apt install --reinstall \
linux-image-generic-hwe-24.04 \
linux-headers-generic-hwe-24.04
