[Odroid-C2] LibreELEC (Omega) 12.0.2

    I'm actually my LibreELEC 9.0.2 running on the ODROID C2.

    I want to install the 12.0.2 but it seems that ODROID C2 isn't in the installler list. It's not supported anymore ? If so, which is the last release that can I install on the ODROID C2 ?

    Thank you

    If you want a dedicated vendor kernel image with all features working .. LE 9.0.2

    If you want to experiment with upstream kernels which are less featured but generally usable as long as your media needs and expectations are not exotic, use the AMLGX image. You can manually migrate data like Kodi DB files between installs, but you cannot update in-place between LE 9.0.2 and LE 12 (or LE13 nightlies) as the boot files, kernel, kodi (everything basically) are different.

    Read https://wiki.libreelec.tv/hardware/amlogic for more info and instructions.

    I tried some AMLGX images but they don't boot ¿? I downloaded the image using LibreELEC USB-SD Creator and recorded the microSD, but when I turn on my ODROID-C2 (spare) only the red light turns on but nothing happens.

    If I connect the eMMC card from the other ODROID-C2 it boots without problems so, the hardware is OK. What I'm doing wrong ?

    EDIT: I found "[Odroid-C2] GXBB / S905 and LE 11.06 or 12 does not boot" and I'll try the suggestions of this post. Thank you!

    Edited once, last by Papalapa: Found another thread (January 28, 2025 at 9:50 AM).

    Last question: I want to copy the film database only (not skin profile, configuration, etc..) from my ODROID-C2 with 9.0.2 to the spare ODROID-C2 with LE13 in order to test how it works.

    Following the Wiki instructions i exported the media-library database in "Separate files" but it do not asks me where to export so, I cannot export to the USB pendrive and connect this pendrive later to the LE13 to import the library.

    What the hell I'm doing wrong?

    Many tyhanks

    Stop Kodi on the target device and then copy the sources.xml/passwords.xml files over from /storage/.kodi/userdata and DB files from /storage/.kodi/userdata/Databases and then restart Kodi on the target. Kodi will detect the DB files and migrate the content into new DB files versioned for the current release. Export/Import is .. something I've never used.

    Thank you! I managed to do this (I don't know about Linux), but when I try to enter into the "storage" folder is not possible. I'm root so, I think that I should have access it isn't?

    The root users $HOME directory is /storage so cd will take you to /storage and there is no separate 'storage' folder.

    Great!! Many thanks chewitt, it works ^^.

    I tried "LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20250730-ecfa284-odroid-c2.img" and "LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-12.80.3-odroid-c2.img" but I cannot play any .mkv file. During the startup I can see this error:

    "[FAILED]Failed to start display.service". Could be this the reason?

    There any way to solve the problem or should I install older versions? T searched in the forum but it seems that there's no information about this issue...

    I need to refine the VFD service so it doesn't start when the board/box has no VFD configured. It's harmless and can be ignored.

    You will need to provide a Kodi debug log that demonstrates the problem for anyone to comment on playback issues. Esp. with mkv being a container format (we have no idea what's inside the container).
