My System Specs

HP EliteDesk 705 G4 Mini

Ryzen 5 Pro 2400GE,

16GB RAM

Tried to install

LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-12.0.1.img.gz

• created a bootable Stick with the latest USB-SD Creator (tried etcher as well)
• Boot to Stick
• Select install

What happens is, nothing, Screen stays black. The same happens when trying to use run and live options.

Thereafter, I tried

LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-10.0.4.img.gz

Install works, Kodi works as expected.

Then, after reading through Redit, I updated LibreElec by the internal Update to 12.x, rebooted, Screen Stays black.

Is there any chance to get ^LibreElec 12 running on my machine or, do I need to install Debian, Fedora or smth to use Kodi?

I tried installing Elementum from the gaia repo, but it won't run. It says it's taking a while to start and give it a few seconds. I then installed Elementum on my Firestick which used the ElementumOrg Repo, and it works fine, but I really need it on Raspberry Pi. I can't find a way to get to ElementumOrg repo. The zip file I got from Downloader, on the Firestick, was mfcjn5.zip, if anyone knows of a Source that leads to it. Or if anyone knows any other way to get Elementum installed/working.

BTW Elementum is not as good as RD + your favorite addon was, but it's a lot better than nothing.

Hi all, I have a Raspberry Pi 3B and installed LibreELEC on it to have a netradio client in my office. I don't use keyboard, mouse, or a screen for that, just plug in the AUX cable. I tether my mobile net from my phone for the TuneIn to work, the Pi has a static IP it is used with a Yatse remote installed on my phone. Everything works like a charm for a week or so, after that the client does not connect to the internet anymore and I don't see the static IP client in the Yatse either. Then I pick up my Pi, take it home, plug in the screen and keyboard and reconnect (which again works for a week or so). What could solve the problem for good?

I have setup libreELEC 12.0 on a RPi5 and it’s connected to my Philips Ambilight OLED TV (SaphiOS). Since the beta versions of this new version of libreELEC when starting or stopping playing a video the TV loses signal from the RPi (video/audio) . This happens for a couple of seconds and the video signal gets back again. In the meantime the system is responsive since I can control it using Kodi app in my iPhone. Any thoughts on this matter?

I’m running libreElec on my RPI5 and it’s been working amazing but when trying to put up today I came across these failed messages. If anyone has any ideas please let me know thank you!

Hello all, I have a RPI 3b+, I need libreelec for an encrypted USB key. I saw that LE sky42 version 12 have encryption but only rpi2 and rpi4. Do I download image for rpi2 or for rpi4 ? Thx in advance

I really apologize if this is a dumb question, I just started this today. What the title says

I have the latest LibreELEC installed on a mini beelink pc here is the model Beelink SER8 Mini PC W11 Pro, AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS(8C/16T. I can’t keep any Bluetooth device connected. It will connect then drops and connects again.

Is there any drivers I need to install for the beelink or a setting I’m missing.

This is so annoying. It was the same in v11, same in v12. I boot on the raspberry pi 4 and it prompts for the WiFi password. It's totally random if it retains it but more often than not it doesn't. I can't be the only one?

I'm trying to install libreelec on my old windows vista 64bit machine. I just want to use what I have around my house instead of purchasing something modern. My plan is just to use it to play my dvds. No online. Anyone recommend a build that might work? I have tried generic builds 7-12 And even went to openelec for build 5.

I've been trying to make a dedicated streaming box for my CTR TV using the composite out on the Pi4.

I'm having a lot of issues getting it to work properly.

At first I was struggling with the Pi3. 2 issues I was having was it not remembering any video calibration settings (overscan). Not ideal but not the end of the world. Sadly it doesn't play all my media because I have a lot of x265 in 1080p. I know I don't need this but I can't be bothered re-encoding a lot of media just for this box.

On the Pi4 (which will handle the x265 content) I was getting stuttering sound from the analogue audio so I switched to a usb sound card which solved that. Now the issue is that every time I start an x265 file, it just reboots LibreElec. I've tried all different versions available, 10. 11 & 12. I think 11 just froze when I tried to play it but 12 full on reboots but plays x264 fine.

So close yet so far. I've tried OSMC but even after modifying settings I couldn't get any picture out of it.

Anyone else got any setups or configurations that work for this?

Hello,

Quick one, I've just upgraded from 11 to 12 and I'm getting this error causing the mounts to not start, either because its waiting on the network as a dependency.

Trying to start the netowkr-online.servuce manually seems to work but for some reason this doesn't start within the time period at boot..

Is there another service I can monitor that starts after the network that will work, or a fix to the network-online.service?

No idea why it's not starting tbh and the logs don't tell me much, just that it didn't start.

Systemctl output during boot:

I'm trying to set up my main Kodi player (running LibreELEC-Generic) as upnp server in order to play some library content on a Kodi client at my Linux-OpenSUSE-laptop. My goal is to get what I view on the laptop to be marked as viewed in the library (than can't be done with smb or nfs sharing I think).

I put the settings as show in https://kodi.wiki/view/UPnP but I can't see the UPnP server from the client. Any suggestions to find the cause of the problem? I am stuck with this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi.

I'm running LibreElec on a Dell mini computer (Optiplex 7070 Mini) and whenever I have it suspended for an extended period of time, my network connection is dead.

Going into the settings to reenable it doesn't work. The network settings are frozen. Everything else works fine.

If I wake after suspending for a shorter amount of time, it works great.

I've gone into my BIOS to make sure my network devices don't have some sort of "power saving" feature that causes this... and I didn't find anything.

Any ideas?

Well, I went for the clean install using official tool to create the SD. I connected the RPi (with official Power source) to the TV (Sony Bravía). No joy. No image. No nothing. Then I used a FullHD computer monitor and the same, no image. Changed config.txt to force HDMI group and cmdline.txt with "video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60D" and rebooted again. I got the boot image from Libreelec and then the screen changed to what you can see.

I am starting to think the problem may be or the RPi or the cable. Any ideas?

Long time user of LibreElec (installed since the fork), first in a RPi1, then RPi2. As I noticed the increasing slowing in the system with the latest releases, I kept my system in 11.0.2, but the time has arrived. Just got a new RPi5 2Gb and prepared the SD with a fresh installation. I was almost mentalised to perform a full configure and library refresh but amb I am afraid of the time it will get.

Can I restore a backup from the RPi2 (LE 11.0.2) in the RPi5 (Le 12.0.1)? Or should I upgrade the RPi2 before, make a backup and then use it in RPi5? I don't know why but I am reluctant to upgrade the RPi2 furthermore.

Thanks in advance

I have a bunch of questions but I'll just bug y'all for the most important thing.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3b. Installed LibreElec with an 8GB SD card. I tossed movies and shows onto a 2TB hard drive (it's set to FAT32 in case I need to transfer files to a modded PS3).

It's starting to fail, though. I watch a movie and now it freezes at 20 or so minutes. I try to open files and it stops completely until I physically unplug the hard drive. I feel like I'm going to break it like this.

When trying to open the file manager during these freezes, it acts like there are no folders. Once I unplug the hard drive it acts like those folders were there and and NOW it can't open them because I unplugged it.

I don't even know if the Safely Remove option works because when it isn't frozen, I click it and nothing changes.

Also, "shutting off" LibreElec does nothing, really. The lights are still on. The fan I installed still runs. The hard drive still runs. It kinda forces me to have to physically unplug it again and I'm back to feeling like I'm going to break the hard drive.

Am I doing something wrong? I get this isn't going to be plug and play so easily but why can't I get it there? This seems like a lot going wrong that shouldn't have to. Especially because it was working just fine a few hours ago.

What can I do to just make this work?

Also, I don't know what logs are or how to access them. And I tried figuring out how to edit the config on Notepad++ but then noticed I don't know where to start.

I just upgraded from a very old version of libreelec, but now my requests rpc requests dont work anymore. I just get a not implemented error. The requests are like this. What is the correct method to be using?

const showNotification = {
            "jsonrpc": "2.0",
            "method": "GUI.ShowNotification",
            "params": {
                "title": "AutoPi",
                "message": `Playing: ${request.play}`,
                "displaytime": 15000
            },
            "id": 1
        };


const open = {
            "jsonrpc": "2.0",
            "id": 1,
            "method": "Player.Open",
            "params": {
                "item": {
                    "file": `plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/video&action=play_video&videoid=${request.play}`
                }
            }
        };

I've done a brand new clean install from the RPi libreELEC 12 image on raspberry pi. My network has DHCP(with a DNS setting), however on bootup the libreELEC system never has DNS. IP connectivity is fine, but there is no DNS resolution. resolv.conf is empty. If I add a nameserver to my resolv.conf then everything works. But on reboot it's gone again and there's no DNS again.

Any suggestions how to fix this?

Intel Celeron N4000, Intel UHD 600 GPU based mini pc stick

LE 12.0.1 official Generic x86/64

HDMI sound does not work on some displays. My Gigabyte monitor, sound no problem. Sky Glass TV (Amlogic chipset) no sound at all.

I’ve tried every different audio setting combination and I cannot get sound working on my TV. Google doesn’t seem to offer anything useful.

Am I missing something stupid?

I have a Raspberry Pi4 with Librelec and Kodi 21 directly connected to my TV.

The fan shim (for speed control) used to be working like a charm but it doesn't since LibreElec 11:

https://github.com/jane-t/rpi-fanshim

Do you guys have any idea how can I have a fan to work in the latest LibreElec release?

Given I would like to have PoE to power it, would Raspberry Pi with a PoE hat or the Minisforum s100 (Intel N100 + Intel UHD) be a better choice?
The main concern is hardware support by libreELEC such as the Intel UFS storage controller and HDMI CEC etc.

I've bought X96Q Pro+ box and the audio passthrough only puts out PCM 2.0. So LibreElec and the like are my only salvation as the manufacturer is very unlikely to fix his firmware at that level..

Thanks!

Hello,

I am looking for a computer to replace my Amlogic S905X box that runs LibreELEC.

I think I'll go with a (simpler) TinyPC x86-64.

I've found some Lenovo ThinkCentre such as the "M715q Tiny" that runs on "AMD Pro A6-8570E R5" CPU.

It has a "Radeon R5" graphics card.

What do you think of AMD Pro A6 and/or Radeon R5? Would it be able to play/decode HEVC/x265 1080p videos? 4K?

I know this is a long shot:

I have a nvidia shield remote that works ✨flawlessly✨ in libreelec (on a standard PC, not a nvidia shield device).

When I use it with Debian however, some of the remote buttons aren't mapped to anything, whether using Kodi or not. The remote doesn't have xinput mappings like a normal input device, so I can't figure out how to map it myself. Web searches have been fruitless. But it does work flawlessly in libreelec, so obviously its possible.

I'm hoping at least for some clues that can help me figure out how to get the remote working on Debian. Any insights are appreciated.

Hi, I'm trying to connect my IPVanish account with libreelec 12.0.1 on rpi4 on the OpenVPN Manager (https://github.com/Zomboided/service.vpn.manager). I followed the tutorial from IPVanish as well (https://support.ipvanish.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002080053-Setting-Up-OpenVPN-on-LibreELEC-Kodi) but I always get an error. I tried multiple servers but can not get a connection. I don't know what to do. Anyone can help me?

Raspberry Pi 4 8GB LibreElec 12.0.1

When I click on any video (Jellyfin and/or YouTube plugin), I have a 50/50 chance that either the video will play normally, or will attempt to play (with the audio running for about 5 seconds) but then freeze the entire system until I manually reboot it.

I tried to get logs but the logs stop as soon as it freezes, and therefore no logs are produced.

For anyone that's been around long enough you would know or at least I would hope agree that the OG favorite side menu was beautiful with the confluence skin.

But the crap that this exists as now, is garbage (seen)... the side slide out w opaque bg was GOAT.

Now in my old nuke and set up file, I'm reminded to set a default look and feel for favorites. But that seems to have gone the way of the dodo... or moved.

So what gives, bec this is a deal breaker for me if they removed it. No granted this is a fresh install so I currently have no favorite set, but that's not how I want to look at them when I do.

This is my first time setting up kodi, I'm using a pi 3 it's been like 10 minutes... I'm not exactly sure what partition resizing is but is it supposed to take this long? Can I make it faster somehow?

Clean install / nuke using the libreelec creator I still had.

So w a fresh install, as clean as it gets, I went to install my theme of choice from kodi rep. Didn't see the get more that's usually there, so when I tried to install from repo. Won't connect to kodi, but it seems to connect ok to lib.

I'm half tempted to just nuke again and go back to 11.0.6.

I thought things were supposed to get better with upgrades, not significantly worse.
