Rotate Display

1st Official Post

    I have a rpi3 with newest LibreELEC and the official 7" touchscreen. I 3d printed a stand for it but i need to rotate the display 180 so the power and a/v ports are on the top. It would be nice to have an rotate lcd in the LibreELEC services menu but i know thats asking alot. I tried adding LCD-rotate=2 in the config.txt file on the sd card but it had no effect. Why is there no /boot folder?

    The Settings Addon can only hold a limited amount of different settings. We simply cannot put every single setting for all supported hardware.

    A specific, and separate addon for e.g. Raspberry Pi would be an option. PR's for such addons are welcome.

    I know that hdmi_rotate works on my 2nd monitor, but I never had to use lcd_rotate. You sure you have "lcd_rotate=2" in the config.txt, instead of "lcd-rotate=2" ?

    LibreELEC works with 2 seperate partitions, the system and the (data) storage partition. What do you need the /boot folder for? Your config.txt file is sitting in the /flash folder, which you need to change to "rw" if you make any edits/changes.

    Yes I do have LCD-rotate=2 it was a typo, ok i had a poke around couldn't find the config.txt in ssh so i popped the sd card into my pc and changed the config.txt that ws in the root of the sd card. ill head back into ssh and try in /flash. thanks for the hint
