Re: mounted external Hard Drive is not spinning

My issue is that my external hard drive goes not in spin down while its mounted, or better said it tries to go in spin down (you can hear it) but it wakes up directly. If i unmount the drive its working. So also with your command sudo hdparm -S...

Re: OTA TV in the US?
OSMC is outdated and not supported as well as libreelec. Libreelec has a handy bit of software that will download the correct version for your board, and flash it to your SD card. And yes any usb tuner will cost more than your Pi, i had good luck with getting a used tuner off Ebay. Make sure you get...

Re: OTA TV in the US?
Is there a Pi HAT or USB device that can be used to receive Over The Air TV in the United States? I've been searching but have not found one. Easiest thing to do is start with Kodi, install tvheadend and find a Hauppauge WinTV USB TV Tuner. There is plenty of help out there if you look in the right...

Re: NAS-like Pi 4 server
...i'd also like to point out that I'm running nextcloudpi, plex media server, and RPI-Monitor on a 1gb board and only use on average 480mb of memory. 4GB is nice but not needed in my experience. Does not surprise me - a lot seems to depend on disk size and format. ZFS is a RAM hog but ext-4 seems ...

Re: mounted external Hard Drive is not spinning
Daniel, You are using the wrong option, -y forces the drive into a low power state, try using -S which tells the drive to spin down after a specified amount of time of inactivity. If you were to use -Y option your drive would work as your expecting it to act, but the result is an immediate spindown....

Re: Home Network configuration question
As for your NAS check out nextcloudpi(https://ownyourbits.com/nextcloudpi/). You may find that a zero with an ethernet adapter may be a bit slow. I was running pivpn with the same hardware and was only getting 10Mbps.

Re: RPi3 + DigiAMP+ & 2.1 sound?
In your situation i'd ditch the bookshelf speakers and get a bluetooth sound bar. You can get a bluetooth dongle for your pi and set Kodi to bluetooth audio output to connect to the sound bar. The RPi 3B has Bluetooth built in :? My apologies, I glossed over the fact that he is using a Pi3.

Re: problem trying to connect client to pivpn
It's been a while since i've fooled around with the setup you're running, but the problem is you are double NAT'd. You can see the whole network from R2, but when attached to R1 you cannot see anything on R2 unless you port forward. I run DD WRT on my routers, I think you need to set whatever port y...

Re: No internet or LAN access through OpenVPN (piVPN)
Your not allowing access to your local lan, here is a link to a server.conf file example that should help you. You're missing "# your local subnet

Re: VPN client comparisons/recommendations
I Second piVPN, been running it for over a year without a hitch. Originally ran it on a pi zero w, but have switched it over to a model 2 B running pihole, pivpn, and RPI-Monitor. Easy setup, easy to manage, and works great.

Re: Letting OpenVPN subnet see my LAN
Did you start with pivpn or did you install openvpn server from apt? The default pivpn setup should work, but if not here is a link to a default server.conf file that should help.

Hi, I've got a bit of an odd issue, I have a RPi2 along with a USB wifi adaptor, and I've got it set up to allow Wifi network access, and the RPi is connected to my LAN with an Ethernet cable.

Re: IP address for different network
If you reserved 2 addresses in your router leave it set to auto, your router knows to look for the mac address associated with that ip address.

Kodi doesn't need a VPN to work, at least for the kind of usage that it's designed for. And anyone stupid enough to think a "free" VPN provides any kind of safety or security should stop and think quite how their connect is funded. If you're not paying for it by cash then you're paying fo...
