Hi, have same problem, but need to rewrite some kodi addons in /usr/share/kodi/addons.

Put it in /storage/.kodi/addons folder.

Hi vpeter, as I have reported here, CEC stopped working after my last upgrade.
[hr]
Just downgraded. Only issue I have with the previous beta is that when screen dims it grabs a dim screenshot of the previously played video, always, which is annoying. So I just disabled screen dim.

Sorry about that - I build image without CEC in 3.14 kernel. I build it again and reuploaded to same location.

Yes, I'm still building version with 3.14 kernel. I'm little behind with everything - it is uploaded now to usual folder.

This black screen issue happen only to some users. Others prefer more modern kernel. That's why this decision was made. And imx6 project doesn't have such support as others that's why this issues remain. Sorry for that. I'm only keeping all the pieces together.

Everything is already available to build this images manually (I don't hold anything back). The only missing part for LE7/8 in repository is libcec patch. But this was already fixed for LE9.

Some screenshot would be very useful.

Live will run the system but forgot everything you set up.
Run will run from stick and all changes are preserved.
Installer runs installer to install LE to some other disk.

I see /root/LibreELEC.tv - if you are building as root don't do that. You must build as normal user.

Harribo, try writing some linux distro to see if it boots. Maybe it is just BIOS issue.

what is downloaded is a .gz file which is compressed in a non standard way.

.gz is standard compression format. Obviously you can't write this file directly to usb stick. Instead it must be unpacked first. But this part is doing Creator internally.

The only known issue with sound is that there are no gui sounds immediately after boot. Still investigating what is the cause.

I'm trying to investigate why this happen with LibreELEC. My current conclusion is that kodi build with configure works. But build with cmake doesn't and it iis the cause of this issue. But I'm unable to pinpoint where is the difference

Lirc sources were silently updated with same version number. And now patches are not compatible anymore. Will be fixed.

In the mean time you can change URL in file packages/sysutils/lirc/package.mk to

PKG_URL="https://sourceforge.net/projects/lirc/files/LIRC/$PKG_VERSION/$PKG_NAME-$PKG_VERSION.tar.bz2"

Step B is not need to execute - final image will be build at the end.
Step C is not needed - touchscreen addon is available from Libreelec kodi repository.
Some parts in step D) are already enabled.

Maybe official image would work just fine with touchcreens and no need to build it manually? Only addon must be installed.

Online again

New forum is on the way which will fix such issues.

Are you saying you download same sources every day?

Wait few days and the issue will be fixed.

One thing should be mentioned that LibreELEC USB-SD Creator should not be running when some other program is using the device. This is because Creator is refreshing devices every few seconds.

Install java, install JDownloader, add start to autoexec.sh or make systemd script. This addon was already done years back for openelec. What a great times...
