I'm so confused because I think I'm doing everything correctly but when I type in the link nothing connects. I have libreELEC 12.0.2 legacy generic pc running on a VM on virtualbox. I got VNC to work but nothing with https.

On my PC I've installed Crt Royale via Reshade which works with MPC-HC. The effect makes the video look like it's playing back on an old TV.

Is this possible on Libreelec on Raspberry Pi 5? All I want is the Crt curvature and some distortion, to give that lovely retro-feel for 90's tv-series.

I've looked at something like this https://github.com/garbear/xbmc/releases , but I'm not entirely sure those builds are for video. I suspect that those builds are mainly for retrogaming, and not for video.

I have heard LibreELEC is very good for local media and Kodi (though I don't really know what Kodi is yet) but what I want most out of an OS is to be able to play stuff from HBO max. Right now I'm using Linux Mint And right now I'm just running HBO Max as a web app, which is not my favorite. And also it's not super tv remote /controller friendly.

Does LibreELEC have the capability to download streaming apps like Max? Also is it possible to get just a .iso image file or LibreELEC or does it only come in the zipped in the .img.gz thing cuz lowkey I don't know how to install it to my computer in that format.

I have a 2014 HP stream laptop

• Intel Celeron N4120 processor
• Intel UHD Graphics 600
• 11.6” HD (1366 x 768) TN display
• 64GB SSD
• 4GB DDR4 RAM

I'm going to try and list all information I have and testing I've done, while being as succinct as possible.

Dell 9020 SFF > DisplayPort to HDMI adapter > HDMI cable > Onkyo BD/DVD input > Onkyo HDMI out > Panasonic HDMI input 1

I immediately tried the other DP output: no signal. I tried the other HDMI inputs on the Onkyo with both Dell outputs: no signal.

I grabbed an old monitor and connected it to the Dell with a VGA cable: I can see Kodi on that screen. The machine works. Maybe the DisplayPort to HDMI adapter has failed.

I grabbed a different Dell 9020 and I can see Windows load on the TV using the above signal chain. The DP adapter works.

Based on this, I wanted to access the Dell BIOS and see if the DP outputs are disabled somehow. I cannot get it to load. Pressing F2 and Del during boot (different attempts) results in the SYSLinux text on screen and then a regular boot into Kodi.

How can I figure what's wrong with the DP outputs on that Dell?

I’m about to dive in and was just wondering what you like the most about libreELEC over other solutions like an Nvidia Shield or Apple TV. What do I have to look forward to?

Some additional info. I’ll be using this in semi-dedicated home theater in a 5.2.4 Atmos system, 4K projector/135” screen. The projector is 3D, HDR 10+, Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced capable. I have both Emby & Plex servers running on an unRAID NAS so any tips on integrating those would be great.

I posted this on /r/kodi and the kodi.tv forums, but it was suggested that I post here instead:

Just wondering, is anyone else out there using the combination of Kodi running on RPIs (Libreelec) with LG TVs having problems keeping their remotes connected via CEC?

I'm running LibreElec on four (4) different Raspberry Pi 4s & 5s and have them plugged into several different brand displays, Panasonic, NEC and LGs, have been for years.  On the Panasonic displays (both the one I currently have and the one it replaced) and the NEC display the remote/HDMI CEC functions work flawlessly, no issues at all.   On the LG displays, both those I have now and the ones they replaced a few years back, I can get the remote/HDMI CEC to function after a reboot or power reset however as soon as I switch the display to another input the HDMI CEC functions stop working until I reset the Raspberry Pi again. Initially I thought this was a display issue but they don't exhibit this problem when switching between other device inputs such as going between the Bluray players and TV input, just switching the Raspberry Pi running Kodi and any other input.  This is has only been an minor irritation for sometime as the LG displays are in bedrooms and stay on the Kodi input most of the time, but I'm considering upgrading my HT display to LG OLED TV wondering in if this is a problem with all LG displays including newer ones?  I looked through all the display and Libreelec settings, fiddled with a couple but nothing seems to changes this behavior.

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

Hello! LibreELEC does not seem to be recognizing my network adapter. I SSH'd in and here's what I find for my card:

LibreELEC:~ # lspci | grep Network 04:00.0 Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express > Wireless Network Adapter

It's the card that comes with the ROG Strix 8550-F

I can access the network when I connect via Ethernet, but it doesn't seem to give me the option to try to connect via WiFi

LibreELEC:~ # dmesg | grep wlan

Returns nothing

Hoping someone can help me understand what/if there's anything I can do to get my driver recognized and running in this system.

Thanks in advance for any help - I really appreciate it!

Setting Up SSH and Configuring the Argon V3 Case on LibreELEC

TL;DR: Use my script to easily install everything for your Argon V3 case on LibreELEC.

• Supports NVMe, DAC, Power Button
• Source Code: GitHub Repository

Quick Start:

1. SSH into your LibreELEC:

   ssh root@<IP_ADDRESS>

2. Run the following command:

   curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nigel1992/Argonv3-RPI5-LibreELEC/main/argonv3.sh -o /tmp/argonv3.sh && chmod +x /tmp/argonv3.sh && /tmp/argonv3.sh

3. Continue with steps 5 & 6 and you are set!

This comprehensive guide will show you how to enable SSH access on your Raspberry Pi running LibreELEC and set up the Argon V3 case with the necessary configurations, fan controls, and power button functionality.

Prerequisites:

• LibreELEC installed on your Raspberry Pi.
• Network connection for SSH access.
• Argon V3 case set up with your Raspberry Pi 5.
• An SSH client on your local machine.

Note: This guide is written specifically for the V3 Argon case. Older cases may require different config and EEPROM values.

Step 1: Enable SSH on LibreELEC

Access LibreELEC Settings:

1. On your Raspberry Pi running LibreELEC, go to LibreELEC Settings in the Kodi menu (found under "System" or "Settings").

Enable SSH:

1. In LibreELEC Settings, select the Services tab.
2. Enable SSH to allow remote login.
3. Choose the port (default is 22) and set it to start at boot if desired.

Find Your Raspberry Pi's IP Address:

1. In the System Info section of the settings, locate the IP address of your Raspberry Pi.

Step 2: SSH Access via Terminal

1. Open a terminal on your local machine.

2. Use the following SSH command to connect to your Raspberry Pi:

   ssh root@<IP_ADDRESS>

   Replace <IP_ADDRESS> with the actual IP address of your Raspberry Pi.

3. The default password for SSH on LibreELEC is libreelec.

You now have full terminal access to your Raspberry Pi.

Step 3: Modify config.txt

1. Remount /flash as read-write:

   mount -o remount,rw /flash

2. Edit the config.txt file:

   nano /flash/config.txt

   Add the following lines at the end:

   dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=23
   dtparam=i2c=on
   enable_uart=1
   usb_max_current_enable=1

3. Remount /flash as read-only:

   mount -o remount,ro /flash

4. Reboot:

   reboot

Step 4: Update Bootloader Configuration (EEPROM Update)

1. Edit EEPROM Configuration:

   rpi-eeprom-config --edit

2. Add PSU_MAX_CURRENT Configuration:

   PSU_MAX_CURRENT=5000

3. Save and Reboot:

   reboot

Step 5: Install the Argon Forty Addon

1. Download the Argon Forty Addon: Go to the Argon Forty GitHub page and download the latest .zip release from the releases section.

2. Install the Addon in Kodi:

   • Open Kodi and navigate to Settings > Add-ons.
   • Select Install from zip file and browse to the location where you downloaded the ArgonForty.zip file.
   • Click on the .zip file to install the addon.

Step 6: Configure the Addon

Once the addon is installed, you can access the settings for configuring:

• IR receiver support (for Argon V2/V3 cases or self-added receivers).
• Argon remote support with keymaps.
• Fan control (for CPU, SSD/NVMe, GPU, and PMIC).
• Power button commands for graceful shutdown and reboot.

Conclusion

After completing these steps, your Raspberry Pi running LibreELEC will be fully set up for the Argon V3 case, with SSH enabled for remote access. The fan control, power button commands, and IR remote support should all be fully functional, and your system will be configured to handle the hardware setup and power management efficiently.

If you need assistance with any specific steps, feel free to reach out!

Hello, i recently switched to a Raspberry Pi 5 for my media Streaming Device but every now and then i run into issues with the jellyfin Addon in Kodi.

Sometimes the video just stops playing and i have to restart the Pi to be able to start the video again. Without a restart it just keeps on loading until i get a Playback Error. Before i started using Libre Elec I used a Pi 4 with RetroPie and Kodi installed and had no Issues what so ever. All my other Devices also never run into Problems with my Jellyfin Sever so im guessing the Problem is on my Pi 5. My Pi connects to my Network using WLAN but even when plugging in a LAN Cable the same Problem occurs. All my other Kodi Addons work perfectly (Youtube, Amazon Prime, Twitch, Crunchyroll)

When the video Crashes i get this Error in the logs:

So far i was able to minimize the crashes by pointing the Jellyfin Addon to the ip:port of my server instead of using my reverse Proxy (NPM). But this only fixed the Problem for a few days until it started happening again.

If anyone knows a way to fix this it would be greatly appreciated!

This was originally posted on the kodi subreddit

A Libreelec install on a rPi 5 (8Gb version) uses about 1Gb RAM. Over several days it will climb to over 4Gb.

From a fresh reboot, using htop I can see there are 44 entries for /usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin --standalone -fs each taking 3266Mb Virtual and 955Mb Phyisical RAM

Those figures slowly increase and I don't know why. The box is on 24x7 but not used that much, couple of hours a day at most.

The only additional addons installed are Jellyfin and the Xonfluence skin.

Thanks

EDIT: It looks like the Xonfluence has a memory leak - trying to fix that will be almost impossible. I'll just have to reboot the box once a week.

Hello all!

I usually stream my ripped films and shows from an NFS-share on my network. This has worked very well with LibreELEC v10, up until I decided to upgrade to v11 and then 12.

The NFS-share runs Ubuntu server 24.04.1 and off of a VM on Proxmox.

The problem is that it takes about three to four minutes until a film or show starts after I click start.

After a long time of trouble-shooting I decided to just reinstall LibreELEC with v12.0.1. This was this earlier today.

Imagine my surprise when I tried it out and the films started immediately! No waiting at all, no lag, it just works super-fast.

Was the slow loading a side-effect because I did in-place upgrades?
Maybe creating a new database with the fresh install did things?

Any ideas what could have triggered the slow media loading?

In any case, I'm very happy now with a working installation again!

Thanks for any insights on this!

Using the latest version of libreleec on a Pi5 and for some reason I get this error when trying to browse my windows shares. It works most of the time and then just stops for no reason at all. I have set my shares correctly, I have set Kodi set to use SMBV1 to SMBv3 and the password is correct so why the hell does it just give me the finger every so often?

Hello everyone.

I am running libre now forever and i love it. But since i updated to 12.1 i have a strange behavior. More than 3/4 of the time i start it for watching tv or listen to music i get a no signal on the tv...then i uave to rest shut down the libre and on boot it finds it then and al is good. Not inly is that annoying, but prob also not so healthy for libre when it gets killed hard so often. How can i find out if my tv is just shit or kodi actually forgets to start the graphics card. Not sure how i can safe logs persistent or something down that line Machine is a lenovo tiny m710q with an i3 6100T , 8 gig ram, 256 gig ssd, connected via hdmi to an onkyo rece7ver and than to the roku tv via hdmi Graphic is intel hd graphic 530 skl gt2 with mesa 24.0.9 Build is 21.1 Git 21.1-omega And it is legacy since i need chrome

Hope that helps for any good guesses

Thx in advance

Hi,

i have 2 things i wanna ask... or that i am currently trying to fix...

haves:

Working audio library and video library based on Jellyfin.

Working audio playback for old Audio System with a NUC to AMP TOSLINK connection.

Librelec on Intel® NUC NUC6CAYH running KODI running Jellyfin

Desktop Audio from PC System (Windows and Arch)

NAS (Proxmox)

Jellyfin

1. Audio

the easy way would be to just connect a TOSLINK from the PC to the Audio Amplifier directly.

What i want is a "Network Audio Sink" ideally i can just select it like a Device in my Desktop System.

I know about solutions with additional software comonents i.e. server/client. But i was wondering what the most elegant way would be...

"Happy Path" PC-> Network -> NUC -> TOSLINK -> AMP with no latency lossless

Can it be done?

2. Videoplayback

I mostly have H.265 Encoded Media with high bandwidth that i want to decode in hardware natively. I have a FireTV 4K Stick that i run KODI on and it decodes everything just fine (small files) that i throw at it.

My NUC has an Apollo Lake which is somewhat H265 capable. It's main purpose was a media player intially when i bought it... How do i troubleshoot my playback?

Whenever i try to open a video file i get a blank screen and audio playing. But no video in any cirumstance. No matter the codec or the file. It is a bare Librelec installation with KODI and Jellyfin for X86.

Cheers

CRT Simulation in a GPU Shader, Looks Better Than BFI - Blur Busters

Morning all. I decided to do a fresh, clean install of my LibreElec install on my RPi4 this week and I've tinkered too much with my existing setup and it's a mess.

I went with the latest v12 but noticed the movie posters when browsing my library was hooooooribly slow. The menu and interface would whizz through fast, as usual, but the movie posters would take 10-20 seconds to catch up and load. Leaving my scrolling through blank pages. Movie are taking about 5-10 seconds to begin playing too.

I nuked-and-paved with LibreElec v11 again and everything runs buttery smooth as before, with all the posters loading as fast as I can scroll. And playing a movie is almost instant.

Back to a v12 install and slooooow again.

Have I missed something in the docs referencing this? I haven't found anything but I'm surprised it performs so badly. If I scroll for long enough I can actually make it choke and not load any poster images, at all, until I leave it alone for a few minutes.

I've ruled out my USB SSD as I'm using the same one to test both v11 and v12.

Currently setting things up on v11 again until I can figure this out.

Hi!

It's Xmas and I just got a brand new rPi5 to replace my current rPi4. Yay!

My setup is : LibreElec on Pi, connected via SMB (wired) to a Synology NAS that holds my media.

I read that, unlike previous versions, I needed to use a newly built SD card because the architecture had changed from Pi4 to Pi5, so I did that, but I'd love to keep my library and my settings.

I'm trying to use the Backup addon for that part, but it keeps hanging on 'Gathering file list' and the wheel is spinning endlessly while staying at 0%. No log is generated, so I can't even begin to identify the problem.

So... What can I do now? Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks so much :)

So I have a new Rpi 3B+ (because that's what was available when I placed the order). I've been fighting with a new installation of LibreElec since last weekend, versions 9.2.1, 9.2.8, 10.95.1, and 11.0.6 that I pulled from the archives. Every one of them exhibits the same problem -- after it finishes updating my library, it locks up with the green led on solid (the one indicating SD card access).

The media library is on my NAS and mounted to the videos folder over NFS, and then I symlink the tvshows and movies folders and use those directories in my sources.xml file. I have tried connecting over wifi and directly through ethernet. I have tried multiple SD cards of various sizes (8/16/32GB), all which are class 10 and U1 or U3. I even tried a different 3B+ which has been running for over a year collecting satellite images via RTL-SDR, so I know both the Pi and the power supply are solid.

The only add-on installed is the library auto-updater and the Confluence skin. It doesn't matter if I run thauto-updater or manually check for new content from the videos screen, it completes the scan, clears the progress off the screen, and momentarily after that the system locks up. If I have an active SSH connection to the device that gets dropped a couple minutes later.

In comparison... I currently have an RPi 3B (not a plus) running OpenElec, connected to the NAS the same way over NFS. Absolutely no problems with it during many years of use, but of course there are issues with TVdb and other things requiring occasional manual repairs so I'd like to get on something newer.

I've been using the RPi4.arm images, however the version 9 images don't work on the 3B+. I found that copying start.elf, fixup.dat, and the appropriate bmc files allowed the system to boot so I could get started on setting up each one, but those versions also lock up after scanning, and randomly while navigating the menus. 11.0.6 seems like the newest version that works on these devices, but it's so god-awful slow even trying to navigate through the main menu that it's unusable, so 10.95.1 appears to be my best choice?

Feel free to ask any questions, I'm really lost as to what can be going wrong here and could use some advice. And TIA!

I have an old Rpi 2 that is getting really slow with LE. My setup is just LE, with an IR receiver, and a harmony remote.

Looking at different devices and prices, it feels like I can get an Rpi 5 (4 GB), POE hat and case for under $90 and move my setup over.

Is there a better hardware option I'm overlooking?

HI All.

These last 4 years I have been able to control with my TV remote KODI/Librelec on a RPi4 with no issues.

Now I just installed Librelec on a Tiny Lenovo PC, and had to connect the same HDMI cable with a display port adapter to the unit .

The Tv remote now doesn't do anything...

My questions/doubts are:

1. Since with the Raspberry 4 it worked out of the box, probably the displayport adapter is not CEC tunneling capable?I have no way to know what brand/model this hdmi-DP adapter is to check the specs.

2. Assuming it is in fact a CEC capable adapter , do I might need to configure something additionally on the Kodi/Libreelec linux itself to make it work?

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

If this should work straight out of the box with no configuration, what brand/model do you know should work ?

Recently while trying to update my stack in portainer on my Raspberry Pi 4 I get the error:

"no matching manifest for linux arm v8 in the manifest list entries"

Libreelec didn't update nor did I make any other changes.

Anyone else faces this issue?

EDIT:

Solution

For anyone else who finds this while searching for their issue. My issue was my docker compose file. My current way of fetching the latest arm64 version of the image had to change.

image: lscr.io/linuxserver/bazarr:arm64v8-latest
container_name: bazarr

to

image: lscr.io/linuxserver/bazarr:latest
container_name: bazarr
platform: linux/arm64

I installed LibreELEC about a month ago. It was working fine up until a day ago where it would take multiple tries for it to actually boot up.

I'd have to unplug it and plug it back in if I want to use it, and yes, I do make sure to shut it down before unplugging it.

A day before, it took me multiple unpluggings and repluggings for it to start. I've been taking out the micro SD multiple times while it's unplugging before inserting it back.

Now, after I reinserted the micro SD after adding something to it, and plugged the USB back in, I'm greeted by a black screen, no rainbow, before it hits me with a "No Signal", and the LED on the Raspberry Pi 4 goes red.

I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, I tried plugging the HDMI into a different port, I tried taking out the micro SD and reinserting it in, I even tried turning the TV itself off and back on again, but nothing worked.

Did I corrupt the OS? Did I break Raspberry Pi? What do I do here?

Edit: I found out the reason nothing's coming up on the TV. It's the outlet.

For whatever reason, my Pi decided it didn't like the outlet I've been plugging the other end of the USB into. I found this out when I decided to go and plug it into one of my power strips (I've been using the wall socket before) and Kodi finally came back on screen.

Again, don't know why. Maybe it's because I've been unplugging the USB from the Pi first instead of from the wall. The same charger block still works if I plug my phone into it, though.

Hi, I've installed LibreElec on my Raspberry Pi about a month ago. It's running Kodi 21.1.

I want to hook up a controller to it so my family members have an easy time navigating through it rather having to deal with the keyboard (since it's the only thing I can get working with it right now).

So I first tried to connect my wired Xbox 360 controller to it and... No response. Even when I go into the Input settings and try going to 'Configure attached controller", nothing shows up. Yet, the 360 controller is supposed to be the default controller and the addon to enable it is already preinstalled. So I tried the Defender Wireless Gamepad next, trying it with both the USB dongle and an actual USB cable; same result as the 360 controller. I installed the Dualshock addon (Since it's mainly for the PS2).

My wireless mouse works with Kodi for the most part (There's an issue where I can't bypass the profile screen with it, at least with the Bello skin, which it works fine with it after the screen).

Any other controller or device, however? I'm stumped.

Can anyone help me out here?

I wanted to use a small pc/raspberry PI 5 to make a media box for my grandparents. As they are going up there in age I wanted to load photos and old videos onto it so they have a centralised place for all their memories to look back on. I bought a raspberry pi 5 and it doesn’t seem to work well but I was thinking of using a small pc like a Lenovo M73 and use a usb wireless remote to a lot of ease of access. Also not sure weather to go down the adding photos to a usb or trying some sort of cloud method so all our family can easily add to this box.

Please let me know if it’s impossible to do or any advise as I have decent understanding on tech, just trying to lighten up my grandparents lives. Also if there are any other Reddit pages you think are helpful for my plans, please send them my way, I am grateful of any help on this!

Hi,

I have LE running on an oldish HP laptop. The laptop screen looks fine but theres no output through the HDMI port after thr splash screen on power on. In the settings there's no option to choose a display either. Resolution whitelist only goes up to 1300x900 or something thereabouts.

I'm very new to this sort of stuff, not entirely sure how to change the configuration let alone what to change once I'm in there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

After I have problems installing the latest release of https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube/releases/tag/v7.1.1.6 and not been able to use the version that I had anymore I decided to upgrade libreelec to use the latest version (Not sure if it was a good idea yet...)

So I did the ssh upgrade from my RPi 4, I have to say it worked like a charm! No issue at all, no freeze, so I was optimistic, I download the version of youtube plugin and all worked so far.

The problem that I didn't expect was that didn't recognize two of the four external usb hard drives.

I can see it but it will not automount.

I need to be able to automount because I'm not around always to fix it.

Thanks in advance!

This is an appreciation post. So I have a library of very high quality movies stored in a 5TB external HDD. Almost all the movies are HDR, Dolby TrueHD and/or DTS-MA. I wanted a cheap solution to watch these movies on my TV. Since I had a 2GB RPi4 laying around, I installed libreELEC on it to try it out. I though I'll have to do a lot of configuration to be able to smoothly play my movies. But no, I did not need to do anything at all! The only thing I did was to enable passthrough and all my movies work amazingly well. It plays Dolby Vision, TrueHD and what not. Also, I was using a USB mouse to control the RPi, but once, I unconsciously used my Sony TV remote control to pause the movie, and that worked too! Guess libreELEC supports HDMI CEC out of the box. This is really a very good solution for people who just want to watch their high quality movies on TV. I was thinking of getting NVIDIA shield for this, but I guess I'll stick to RPi for now since I stream using my TV apps. Let me know some tips and tricks to make my setup even more amazing.

My connection:
5TB External HDD --> RPi4 (USB 3.0) --> Samsung Q990D --> Sony 55X90K (through eARC).

The following situation: I have an old SBC with Windows 10 at home on which I installed Libre ELEC myself. However, since I wanted to run the PC with Windows again for a school project, I tried to install Windows 10 normally using a USB stick. The installation process worked so far, but every time I restart the PC I get the error message "filesystem corruption has been detected". A line below suggests that it has something to do with LibreELEC, but unfortunately I don't have a screenshot of the error. I have tried several times to repair the emmc with various tools, but all to no avail. I'm not familiar with the whole Linux scene, which is why I'm really at a loss. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Is the emmc completely bricked or can I reflash it or something. Thanks for your answers
