On raspberryPi 5 changing to vertical display

konrad_m · July 3, 2024 at 9:07 AM

Hi,

I would like to present some vertical videos with a vertical screen.

I use raspberryPi 5 with LibreElec 12.0.0 (build 21.0)

I have changed the settings in "/flash/config.txt" and added the setting: "display_rotate=1" as it is mentioned here

It doesn't work on my system.

Any idea ?

Thanks.

LE 9.2.8 is the last image to support "display_rotate" in config.txt, but this will not boot on current RPi5 hardware (only the original boards) as newer hardware requires newer firmware. This is not impossible to solve, but LE 9.2.8 is starting to look old now and most RPi5 boards won't boot LE 9.2.8 without some effort. LE 10/11/12 use a completely different display pipeline which does not currently support display rotation.

OK chewitt, thanks for the information. I will try with the older model and an older raspberryPi.
