1. How do I compile LE so that it installs an addon? Where do I place the addon? Any other files to modify?

2. How do I preset some files and settings, for eg. I want guisettings.xml to be custom and also lets say I want to set HDMI video output and HDMI audio output and not any other.

3. How do I try and install drivers, lets say for an unsupported wifi chip? And maybe remove for those I do not care about?

Appreciate any help!

1) It is little tricky but not impossible. Addon needs to be build and then copied to image. Also addon manifest must be updated to enable addon by default. Hard to explain to someone who doesn't understand buildsystem.

2) You could put file as projects/Generic/filesystem/usr/share/kodi/config/guisettings.xml (Generic or some other project name).

3) Create new package like others in LibreELEC.tv/packages/linux-drivers at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub. Then put project name in ADDITIONAL_DRIVERS variable in file projects/Generic/options.

Try removing file packages/multimedia/ffmpeg/patches/ffmpeg-99.1001-pfcd_hevc_optimisations.patch. Maybe it is only RPi specific.

Update: Yes, with this change project builds fine.

Try this: LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.1.2-libcec-3953f8d-fixed-cec.img.gz

trulli79, I can also build Generic image with this libcec version and you will see if it works.

Not sure about official fix in 8.2. Probably more no then yes

No, for RPi 1 are RPi images. Should I build one for you?

vpeter thanks. using a kernel that enables unneded extra junk to be run but cripples kodi on some architectures is totally against the idea of "just enough os for kodi"! libreElec should refocus on their mission statement.

Well, this problem happens to only some users. For me all versions works perfectly. You just need correct TV

I have gone to the folder, and all there is, is the kodi.log file.

What am I missing?

Then use kodi.log file - there is no file debug.log (nickr made a typo ).

2) To allow running some extra sw on same machine. There was multiple requests for this. But now probably no one is using this

To build image with 3.14 kernel

PROJECT=imx6 ARCH=arm LINUX_VERSION=3.14-sr make image

1) I'm building this images for some time. And will probably in future.

2) Because there are two different Linux versions used. Some time back decision was to use more modern kernel to allow docker. But obviously this path didn't went well.

Quote from sethyx

vpeter, what's the difference in your build? Guess it's using a different kernel.

Yes, 3.14 instead of 4.4. It helps sometimes with some issues.

You just need to press Enter on Location choice and it will change from Remote Path to Local Path.

How to Setup PVR IPTV Simple Client Kodi Krypton 17

Try this image: LibreELEC-imx6.arm-8.0.2-3.14-sr.img.gz

One option is to make one new package with a name as your project name (like packages/Generic/package.mk). Then in this package add under PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET your packages you wish to include in image. And then build image with extra parameter OEM

PROJECT=... ARCH=... OEM=yes make image.

Adding addons to image is little trickier because addons needs to be enabled in package.mk after installing.

I think in Kodi should be enabled Debug mode. Then kodi.log will tell more info.

For me IPTV simply client was newer 100% stable. Just like Kodi itself is not. But it doesn't freeze my whole Kodi - it only freezes for some time. But I'm still on Kodi 17.3

First try playing a file from a local filesystem to eliminate network.

I didn't see anything special on 8.1.2 from previous versions.
