[Release] LibreELEC + Recalbox Dual Boot Images for Raspberry Pi

  • Hi all,

    I have created some nice dual boot images for LibreELEC + Recalbox.

    NOOBS Lite + LibreELEC + Recalbox
    (Available for all Raspberry Pi versions)

    Included in LibreELEC is a simple add-on that reboots into Recalbox.
    Recalbox has also been setup to boot back into LibreELEC instead of it's internal KODI version.

    The changes to each OS are minimal (a basic add-on added to LibreELEC & custom.sh added to Recalbox).
    This allows for updating either OS (manual or standard methods) without affecting the dual boot

    Get the dual boot images here (video and written instructions available):
    recalbox-kodi-dual-boot-images.html

    If you prefer Lakka instead of Recalbox, see my other post HERE

    Enjoy

    Hi,

    i use the latest stable Libreelc (updateted from Openelec) and this Dual-boot is what i was searching for. How can i install this image without loosing my settings (like movie database, tv-series database...)?

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    Pretty sure LibreELEC has a backup option in LibreELEC settings.
    Use this to create a backup.
    Then copy this backup to a USB stick.
    Install my image.
    Go into settings and restore the backup.

    Thanks,

    Matt

  • Hi Matt,

    I installed your release, looks fine!
    After updating to the latest LE alpha (7.90.010), I'm not able to switch from Kodi/LE into recalbox.
    I see the boot/splash screen of recalbox, but then the Pi2 loads LE again (looks like it reboots, LE is set to default).

    What should I do?

    Regards,
    Flo
