Libreelec on Linux+KVM

aubergine · May 17, 2017 at 6:49 PM

My plan is to use Libreelec as a KVM VM and use the VT-d and vmx feature to throughput the GPU (RX 460) directly to the VM.
I guess it will not be a problem to install Libreelec with that. But my question is will all features (especially the HDMI) ones run fine?
Especially video,sound and using the TV remotecontrol via CEC?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

LE works with QEMU and for 8.0 there's a dedicated image for vmware (Virtual) but I'm not sure anyone has tested KVM. If it works, great. If it doesn't work, it's up to you to fix it

KVM+QEMU is usually how it works.

OP, yes it works with passthrough, multiple people have already tested it.
