Restore / change the "system total uptime"

Dinky01 · October 22, 2016 at 6:37 PM

I did a clean LibreELEC v7.90.007 install.

Is it possible to restore / change the "system total uptime" so I can restore it to the value of the previous installation?

Have tried to modify the value in guisettings.xml but after a reboot the adjusted value disappeared.

Would like to continue with the value of the previous installation so I can see how long I used my Raspberry.

the call is done as a system call, so it's not possible to adjust this value

xbmc/SystemInfo.cpp at master · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub

In earlier Kodi releases you could alter that by editing '<systemtotaluptime>######</systemtotaluptime>’ value in 'guisettings.xml'.
Maybe that's changed...

if you stop kodi using

Code

systemctl stop kodi

then adjust the value it might work.
