MPEG2 and VC-1 licenses not required

  • Just migrated from openelec after an SD card hardware failure in my rpi2. Noticed that the licenses seem to do nothing. Booting with or without my licenses in the config.txt the same result is produced by the following:

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2;vcgencmd codec_enabled WVC1
    MPG2=enabled
    WVC1=enabled

    Also the wiki page explaining how to check the license status is missing a newline in between vcgencmd commands.

    Congrats on a nice looking evolution of openelec.

  • Once the license keys are saved to an OTP memory they can be removed from config.txt.

    You can check your license keys with this command:

    Code
    vcgencmd otp_dump | grep -E 45:\|46:
