If you are familiar with docker try using it.

One question: Can you give me your build environment? (gcc version, libc6 version and so on?). Until now I was not able to compile LibrELEC by my own successfully

Up to date Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS - nothing special. It should just work ootb.

8.2.2 for RPi2(3)

LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.2.2-libcec-3953f8d.img.gz

Manually: Disabling onboard RPi3 wifi running LibreELEC

I think the main question is: Who "owns" LibreELEC? Some people already knows the answer. And because of this situation is what currently we have and see here. If this would be (more) open project than this amlogic stuff could be already in without much discussion (of course not damaging other devices). Instead we have bunch of different builds from different people. Which is very bad and totally unnecessary.

In the past I was using solution with xrandr.

Can you re-add me too? Maybe can be useful one day

Check kodi log file with debug enabled. Maybe there will be some clue why it takes so long to switch

Agree, there should be some smarter way of doing this. Doesn't kodi restarts faster than 7 seconds?

Or like trogggy suggested:

kodi-send -a "ReloadSkin()"

Then I'm sorry I have no idea. I just tested on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS and it starts with and without sudo.

Maybe someone who understand Linux internals more will step up. I assume it has something to do with X server or something like that.

Does this work?

ping localhost
sudo ping localhost

Try putting restart command

systemctl restart kodi

in some shell script (for example /storage/restart_kodi.sh)

and then restart kodi from kodi itself with command

systemd-run /storage/restart_kodi.sh

Maybe there is some better solution.

In keyboard.xml it needs to be used like

<some_key>System.Exec("systemd-run,/storage/restart_kodi.sh")</some_key>

The problem with your script is probably that when you want to close dialog the dialog is not even shown yet. You should add some sleep before it (around 4 seconds).

Maybe this could also help you? Basic skin changing script

Well, you posted such code on kodi forum

You have a typo: xmbc must be xbmc:

if xbmc.getCondVisibility('Player.HasMedia'):

Create installer stick, open syslinux.cfg, change DEFAULT installer to DEFAULT run and boot.

It should be part of network-tools addon.

what is the curl cmd to do a channelswitch ?

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.Open","params":{"item":{"channelid":1088}}}' http://127.0.0.1:80/jsonrpc

Script could be smarter to check if pvr is ready and nit hardcoded time.

Maybe it is something wrong with required channel id? Does it switch to it with curl command?
