CoreELEC 9.2.4.2 and MySQL/MariaDB problem

Help & Support Installation & Booting
1

I had to downgrade from 9.2.4.2 to 9.2.3 because of black screen after the reboot. Fortunately SSH was available. My box is Minix U1 Neo. After digging in logs I discovered the following difference in log files. I was able to connect to my central MariaDB on the correct port so network is not an issue.

Everything reverted to normal after I downgraded to CoreELEC-Amlogic.arm-9.2.3. Don’t you have any advice where is the problem? I’ve already upgraded my Win10-based Kodi to 18.8 (using the same central MySQL) and it’s working fine. It seems like an isolated problem related to CoreELEC.

2

Seems same error as here? MariaDB 10.5.5 error

3

Not really. I use MariaDB 10.5.3, not 10.5.5. I didn’t change any compression. And mainly everything works fine after the downgrade to the previous CoreELEC version so I think it’s not possible my databases have been damaged.

4

I know you are using older version. But error is the same.
Try to connect to database and run this select query by hand.

5

Why? Does not the older version 9.2.3 launch the same command?

I’ve already tried to delete both databases and install 9.2.4.2 from the scratch, modify advancedsettings.xml etc. And this version does not create new, empty databases.

9.2.3 created databases immediately after the first reboot once it was installed from the scratch too.

6

As expected, it works.

SELECT idVersion FROM version

idVersion
72

7

You should test this on 9.2.4.2.

8

I see, what is the easiest way how to run this command from SSH on 9.2.4.2? I think mysql command is not installed by default. Thank you.

I wasn’t able to find another way than to install MariaDB SQL database server from CoreELEC repository.

mysql --no-defaults -h 192.168.0.11 -D MyMusic72 -u kodi -p

MariaDB [MyMusic72]> SELECT idVersion FROM version;
+-----------+
| idVersion |
+-----------+
|        72 |
+-----------+
1 row in set (0.001 sec)

I am afraid there is something wrong with mysql client in CoreELEC 9.2.4.2 for arm. As you can see I am able to query the remote database from non-default mysql client installed on 9.2.4.2.

And as expected I can see the following error in kodi.log (I’ve also tried to configure waitfornetwork with the max. 30 secs):

If I would debug this issue I would capture network traffic with tcpdump to see the commands to db server.
And also look debug log on db server.

Also I hope you enabled kodi debug log.

12

There is a commit to downgrade mariadb-connector-c. Look for a nightly build in next days.

13

@rdol On what platform does your MariaDB backend run?

14

It’s mariadb:10.5 docker container launched on Synology DS1618+. I will look at nightly builds later this week

I can confirm CoreELEC-Amlogic.arm-9.2-nightly_20200823.tar solved the issue with unaccessible MariaDB databases. All working fine now.

Fix confirmed too. I had the same problem too (kodi throwing error in that SELECT idVersion). Server is MariaDB 10.5.5 on Win 10, which I just migrated from MySQL 5.7
