    Go to "Settings-Media settings" at the bottom you will see "Basic or Standard" click that until you get "Expert".
    Now you will have the "General" tab, in there you can enable "Show hidden files and directories"...

    Depending on which addon you use if they support download to a specific folder and you can also change and add folders for your libraries.


    Thank you very much for your reply! I will definitely try the settings you suggested. I don't know which model of Samsung TV you have but I don't think I have an option for "film mode". I can however choose between "dynamic, standard, movie or natural" is this what you mean?
    Thank you again for taking the time to answer so throughly I really appreciate it!

    I have a Samsung PN60F8500 plasma TV.
    The Film Mode option is in the "picture options" next to the Motion Judder option, but it might be only visible when your screen is in 24p mode and it could also be named differently on your set.


    If that was the case would the SD card not have worked?

    I have tried USB2 drive but same issue.
    The nuc is NUC6CAYS.

    I just tried it on my laptop and exact same error.
    So its deffo not my NUC.
    it wont boot anywhere.

    The only time i got these errors was because of bad USB drives or booting it from the case USB ports.
    I don't know about SD cards i never use them.
    If it doesn't boot on your laptop also(with a fresh prepared USB drive using the LE USB creator and nothing changed) then your USB drives might be bad.

    Some TVs have problem with "3:2 pulldown" other it's "24/48Hz"...
    I see the same problem as you with my Samsung here using Kodi but using a Samsung Blu Ray player (23.976 fps) movies are displayed correctly.
    What i can suggest you is when your TV is switched to 24p mode, go to your TV's menu and try different combinations starting with;
    -Film mode(Cinema smooth/Auto/Off)
    -Motion Judder Canceller(Off/Standard/Smooth)
    If none of those is correcting your problem, like in my case, you can try this below, these are my settings when using LibreELEC/Kodi.

    In Kodi;
    -Display - Refresh rate: 60
    -Videos - Adjust display refresh rate: Off
    -Videos - Sync playback to display: Disabled
    -Movie's Video settings - Deinterlaced method: Temporal/Spatial
    -Movie's Video settings - Video scaling method: Auto
    -Movie's Video settings - Post-processing: Enabled
    -Movie's Audio and subtitle settings - Audio offset: 0.000s
    In TV
    Film Mode: Off
    Motion Judder Canceller: Off

    With these settings my screen is staying in 60p mode but i have no problem with stuttering, dropped/skipped frames or audio sync.


    Nope, tried. It doesn't work from autostart. But the same command issued from command line works. That means the syntax of the command or the formatting in autostart.sh is somehow wrong. Maybe it needs to be preceded by an "exec" or maybe some delay. I have no idea. If you do please advise.


    Strange i have about the same autostart.sh lines here ant it works, did you also changed the resolution in the Kodi settings after sending those commands?
    In the kodi settings is your display labeled HDMI1?
    Please copy/paste what is in your autostart.sh file here and a kodi log would help.

    Prepare the USB drive using the LibreELEC USB/SD creator like that we know what you get.
    Can you try that below also editing the syslinux.cfg in the EFI/BOOT folder but without making any other changes?


    Are you able to boot the USB now or the problem is that you can't install?


    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. In the end none of the suggestions involving edits to autostart.sh, extlinux.conf, or syslinux.cfg worked in my case. I ended up creating an oemsplash.png file (attached) and placing it in /flash/ ... it's a hack workaround to my specific problem, but works quite well. It was a quick and dirty way to have the LibreELEC logo displayed in the exact centre of the screen with the correct image ratio.

    I gave up trying to resolve the main issue of having the default boot splash image displayed at 1024x768 in the top-left corner of a 1920x1080 screen.

    I'm really surprised this didn't work"APPEND boot=LABEL=System morequiet disk=LABEL=Storage quiet setfbres=1080"
    It worked here on the first try and has booted in fullscreen ever since.

    Edit the "syslinux.cfg" file in the root of the USB stick like this below, it worked here.

    If you have another SATA cable try replacing it.
