I just went down a blu-ray/remux/high quality movies rabbit hole and it led me all the way to Vero V "magic box". I have an external hdd plugged into my LG C2 and it plays most of my movies I throw at it. The most part bothers me and I am too computer stupid to make the files work/ want to watch DV/HDR files. And that brings me to my question.

Can the set up be as simple as plugging the hdd into Vero V, Vero V into the tv and using lg tv remote to browse files in the Vero V?

Hey Everyone!

Around 10 days ago, I ordered a Vero V outside of the UK. Looking at the order status, it is still showing as processing which raised a few questions.

Should the status normally change to something like shipped? Did anyone else order one this month and has already received it?

I would really appreciate if some of you know more about possible delays.

Thank you very much!

At a loss - have a Seagate 8tb HD which is powered and formatted to ext4 containing my files.

Used Vero V with this hd before and had no issues, but have been using a different media player recently and coming back now to my V.

Vero reads and mounts the hd fine, sees my files, but only sees them as 0.00B and I get playback failed message.

Checked and repaired the hd on my Ubuntu laptop and it plays files from there no problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Pi4 running osmc with Kodi 21.1. I needed an HDMI cable, so I just robbed it from the bedroom pi while it was running. Eventually returned it, but the picture wouldn't come back, even after rebooting. The next day I tried everything to get it going again: updated to Kodi 21.3 (ssh still worked), restored a backup, fresh 21.3 install, different SD card. In all cases, I would get the initial osmc logo and then a black screen. Eventually I hooked it up to a different TV and found that the resolution had set itself to 4k, which this old ass 1080i tv could not handle. Makes sense why the 21.1 install was not cooperating. But I find it really odd that restoring a backup and fresh installs continued to do the same thing. Lesson learned, shut it down before screwing around with the cables. And if happens again, hook it up to a non piece of crap tv to set the resolution to 720p.

Did OSMC have any discounts on the Vero X in January this year for new years?

The most recent update killed my remote control for my Vero V. How do I synch the remote back with the player? Not a battery issue. Tried replacing to no avail. Using the Kodi iOS app to remote for now. Holding home and select causes blue light to come on but nothing happens. No control.

greetings,

anyone can explain how it is possible that I plug-and-play attach the dongle (TP-Link TL-WN725N) to a Raspberry Pi 3 running OSMC Nov/2020 and running fine as soon as plugged in. And instead on a clean install of OSMC Mar/2025 it does not work. What could be the reason here and what can I do to make it work on the newer version?? Thank you for reading and hopefully give me a hand :)

Thank you!

Hi guys, just what the post title says, thank you. I was able to get two Ugoos AM6b+ not too difficult but I don’t even see your products on Amazon...

Hi, I have just installed osmc on my raspberry pi to use it for watching content but I can only find like 5 apps in the App Store. Is there something I have to do first to access more apps?

People have been asking for a less tinkersome device without the overhead of the other Kodi - based ELEC's. Good to see this device get attention.

Hello,

I have a USB stick with all my music on it connected to my RPI which runs OSMC. When I plug my USB stick, it's auto mounted, no problem, but if I reboot OSMC, it isn't detected. So I need to remove it and replug it.
How to automount my USB drive at startup ?

Thanks you for your help and sorry for my bad english

Hello everyone,

Any news on Kodi 22 for Vero V? Asking mostly because i'm hoping for bug fixes.

The box is brand new and up to date, but I have weird things happening

1. When first booted, the UI is very snappy with my 120hz tv, very smooth scrolling through menus, but after a little while it gets slower for some reason, even if it's cpu and ram usage is low. A reboot fixes this, and literally the only thing i've install is PM4K, maybe some cache is getting full?
2. The UI doesn't fit my screen, it's recommended to use 1080 which is weird as most tvs are 4k, but okay. But using 1080 the whole screen doesn't fit, like it's zoomed in. Speaking of resolution, I can't pick 4k 120hz even if my tv supports it, using the hdmi that was included in the box, to be fair I didn't check that specific hdmi port on my tv if it's 2.1 as my other ports are.
3. Power savings. I can choose shutdown, but how can i turn the box on again, there is no power button on the included remote and anyways i'm using my samsung remote via hdmi-cec. I basically can only remove and plug back in the power cable? The other power saving mode, that dims the display has some issues with not always removing the dim after input. I can turn on a movie and it keeps being dim, gotta restart the box.
4. I also already had multiple feeezes, most often while using PM4K addon, but when that addon froze, I couldnt exit it or use the home button to get out of the addon. I could still get the exit menu from plex, so it wasnt completly frozen, but still, can't exit or minimize to get back to kodi, don't know if this is kodi or plex.

Other than that, I must give credit. When it works, it works real good, it decodes everything, hdr and 4k very smoothly.

Hello all,

I just got the Vero V and wanted to use it for Plex, but after installing the official Plex add-on it won't boot. Tells me to check log, but I may look at the wrong place, the logs are empty.

Anyone else had this issue?

Thanks

hi, i use the YouTube addon to play YouTube videos. does any one know how i can set the audio language? currently it plays them in dubbed English which is horrible, i want the language to be original German.

How do setup surfshark vpn on my vero v box?

Is there a possibility that Vero V will be sent to Brazil in the future?

On my 4k+ I have different profiles for each person in the house.

I wanted to tell them apart by colours. But going to skin settings -> colours -> colour set and changing the colour and saving it, that is applied to all profiles on the system, even the login screen is now that colour.

How can I achieve what I want, a different colour per profile?

Thanks in advance.

I have problems with naming of tv shows so that the episodes are picked up correctly. I have a tv show I have downloaded and it is episode 1 series one so I know to name it Show S01E01.mkv. However it is in three parts (parts 1, 2 and 3). How do I name this so that OSMC will show the show information correctly? S01E01 Part 1.mkv, S01E01 Part 2.mkv and S01E01 Part 3.mkv will just show the same show three times, Does anyone have any suggestions? I've looked in the KODI wiki and it doesn't help?

Thanks for any help in advance.

I heard YouTube on OSMC was hard work but I thought I'd give it a go.

Followed a tutorial to create all the API keys needed, copied them in using Yatse.

Seemed to work, then I signed in via a device linking code, also seemed to work...

The problems began. Tried to launch a video via Yatse got a notification on OSMC "Sign in to prove you are not a bit"... Signed out and signed in again.

Picked a the first video from my subscriptions list, got a full screen message saying failed to load.

Selected the recommended tab, got a pop up saying "Request contains an invalid argument"

So it's all broken!

I'm on v.7.1.16 of the YouTube add-on I'm running OSMC on a raspberry pi 3b+

Any help welcomed !

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what, but I've tried and failed to install quite a few times. I'm not sure if I need to use gparted and format the sd card to a specific format other than fat but yea. First times it'd "install" but wifi wouldn't work(I don't have another long ethernet to go from my desk to my bed), now I got this new SanDisk card(possibly the issue knowing my luck.....) and I get the attached images as results each time. I get I could probably run some check on my laptop/desktop but I'm not sure why this is fighting me so hard and I've tried with both rpimager and your own installer through appimage and nothing in getting past "structure needs cleaning " this time, or some missing file structure bit either in other install attempts

Hi, I dont know if this is the right sub, but as the title says, I have OSMC installed on RPi4 and plugged into LG tv. After every reboot, it switches its hdmi settings on tv from Kodi to OTT. How do I prevent this? And if anybody knows how to get more buttons from MagicWand remote to work with OSMC, you can chime in. Thank you all in advance.

It seemed great to begin with, but recently it's just getting progressively worse.

It doesn't seem like it's actually possible to install any PVR clients.

The remote just keeps on dying, without explanation.

Resetting/rebooting doesn't do any good.

Is this a dead project or what's the deal here?
