  • Sure. I have a little home server running Linux and 2 or 3 machines that access files shared by this server. I use Plasma on my desktop machines and I rely a lot on tags (just to clarify, Plasma uses xattrs - more specifically user.xdg.tags) to tag files. On the server I already have a couple of scripts that automatically insert some predefined tags on files.

    Thing is when I try to copy and/or move files between server and desktop, depending on the protocol I used to mount the shared, I loose this information.

    People suggested rsync, and it would be an excellent option if what I wanted was to keep both sides synchronized or something like that. In fact what I need is just a solution that allow me to mount a server share content and allow me to transfer files from it preserving their extended attributes, preferentially using a file manager (I use basically Dolphin or ranger).

    No need to keep then synced.


  • Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply.

    Yep, when I tried using Samba I had these catia:mappings configuration in my smb.conf. Thing is it slightly changes things (two that I specifically remember are ¿ and ¡ ), sometimes doesn’t recognizes filenames (don’t remember exactly which chars), etc.

    I tried to setup Samba, NFS and sshfs. Took a couple of days to understand a little better each one and, by trial and error, have an idea of their perks. I do appreciate your suggestion but I don’t think Samba is what I’m looking for.










  • Kodi / LibreELEC has add-ons available to most of the most popular streaming services. The trouble is that it hasn’t the necessary licenses for playing content in the best resolutions (the same goes with most browsers). I myself have a Homatics R 4k Plus (which is a licensed box) and installed CoreELEC. When using Android I can stream my content in the highest resolutions (Star Plus, HBO Max and Disney Plus) but when using CoreELEC I can’t.
