Rotate HDMI output on Raspberry Pi 5?

Hi all,

Wanted to check if anyone have been able to figure out how to rotate HDMI output on the Raspberry Pi 5?

Been trying edits of both config.txt and cmdline.txt without much results...

Using LibreELEC 12.2

See https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issu…ment-2541224018 - It is possible to compile a patched version of Kodi that forces the rotation permanently; the patch is in that thread (along with a load of AI generated how-to-compile BS that someone unhelpfully posted). It is not possible to dynamically change the rotation (the UI shows options, but they won't work).
