slideshow.staytime raise maximum to 3600 in settings.xml

  • Hello, I have the following problem:


    Requirement:


    Want to set the staytime of displaying an image of slideshow longer than 100 seconds (to 3600 seconds).


    System:


    LibreELEC (official): 9.1.501 (RPi4.arm) (also tried with 8.2 on RPI3)


    What I've tried to do:


    Changing <maximum> etc. in


    /usr/share/kodi/system/setting/settings.xml


    from


    to

    which leads to error "Read-only file system".


    Therefore I've tried this, too:


    mount -o remount,rw /flash


    and, because /usr folder is on /dev/loop0


    mount -o remount,rw /dev/loop0


    also restarted system after changes.


    But /dev/loop0 state is still on ro.


    Question:

    How can I overwrite files in /usr ? Or is it possible to extend settings.xml on other location to overwrite some values? In advancedsettings.xml I didn't fount any parameters could have to do something with those.

  • At /usr/share/kodi/system/setting/settings.xml the GUI definitions and default values are stored. They are read-only by concept.

    Unfortunately <maximum> is part of the GUI definitions, and not editable by overwriting it at /storage/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml.

    PS: It should be possible to write a slideshow as a Python script. Then you can set the pause as long as you want.
