Those TSLIB_RES_X/Y is system resolution used by tslib library. I don't know why kodi shows a different one. But this quick fix worked for me.

I use a res of 1920x1200 (16:10)
The configurator detects it as follows:
resolution : 1728x1080
skin : 1280x720

In this case open file ts_env.sh and uncomment lines TSLIB_RES_X/Y and fill correct value. I think this should help.

export TSLIB_RES_X=1920
export TSLIB_RES_Y=1200

It's a widely used PiTFT plus version. The drivers are build in in the latest raspbian version.

But for some reason Kodi always forces to HDMI display. I already got the display at work for various other applications but can't figure out how to get Kodi forced to use this display.

Here's the procedure for installing the drivers if not yet in the package.

Seems extra work to get it running - got this response from one dev. Seems you are out of luck with easy solution.

To get kodi UI or video you need something like fbcp (GitHub - tasanakorn/rpi-fbcp: Raspberry Pi utility. Used for mirror primary framebuffer to secondary framebuffer.) running which copies pixels to display. Due to the copies and limited speed of SPI the update rate is limited (probably about 10 fps) so it's not very useful for Kodi.

Next challenge in this story: do the same with the adafruit pitft 2.8" resistive touchscreen. It's GPIO connected instead of HDMI

What kind of driver does it need? Any example/tutorial how to set it up on some other distro?

kwm, I don't see anything related between versions.
When you tested with evtest did you close kodi and touch daemon?

systemctl stop kodi
systemctl stop service.touchscreen

When I try 7.90.1-sr my Cubox-I will not boot.
Any ideas?

Connect micro usb cable and open serial terminal to see where it stops.
There should not be significant changes between this two release.

Isn't the main function of the dim to dim what is currently shown? Just set to 100% and it will be black?

Regarding kernel versions: I'm not sure anymore. For me both versions work the same. Even with kernel 4.8

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
