There is now
Teamviewer for RaspberryPi

Now, how to install it on LibreELEC?

It updated the xmltv at 3 am and when I manually started and reboot started. When I say date stamp, I mean date & time stamp. What could cause the log to be created at a time and date without the program doing it?
This is when it ran on reboot.
webgrab++log.txt

I just rebooted, this is
journalctl -u webgrabplus

Here is settings.xml:
<settings>
<setting id="wgp_on_act" value="" />
<setting id="wgp_on_cal" value="*-*-* 03:00:00" />
</settings>

There are no more crontabs

journalctl webgragplus
journalctl service.webgrabplus
systemctl status webgrabplus
systemctl statu service.webgrabplus

Those were when not running

here is while running with webgrabplus.run

journalctl webgrabplus
journalctl service
systemctl webgrabplus
systemctl service

Did you want them while running from reboot?

journal webgrabplus
journal service
systemctl webgrabplus
systemctl service

I re boot then immediately check the timestamp on the webgrab log via WinSCP.

My systemctl output is the same as yours.

I have started with plain WebGrab+Plus, changed to Webgrabplus.servic, back to plain Webgrab+plus, then back to the service. I may have left something behind.

Doesn't matter much to me I just was reporting an odd behavior. Right now, the state of the addons I like (not to be mentioned here) makes the guide sort of a waste.

"/storage" in LibreELEC is the Home folder, where all of the user configuration goes, I don't know how to make LibreELEC look for it on the USB drive. The rest of "/" is Read Only. If you need to edit config.txt or cmdline.txt you have to make "/flash" Read Write with

mount -o remount,rw /flash

then when done editing

mount -o remount,ro /flash

.

The reason I rebooted last night was to test, the on-active field is empty.

To ensure I reset it it to default, then cleared it, then rebooted (I did remember to click OK).

I just checked the settings and rebooted. Webgrabplus started on reboot, no delay.

I wasn't watching the clock last night, so I assumed it started with a delay. I was wrong.

H'mmm. Today my log says that webgraplus ran at 10A.M. in configuration it is set to run at 2 A.M. and blanks for on-active. I think I may have rebooted around 10 this A.M.

I don't remember changing anything else.

It is 8.0.104

I just rebooted and it started running 300 seconds after.

how do we all keep mis-spelling webgrabplus? and why a p instead of a b? Don't know how many times I've done it.

I will try that in a while.

I just finished making Ubuntu 16.04 LTS work on the HDMI only!

This is what I did to install Ubuntu 16.04LTS with HDMI video only with ATI hd3450

BIOS set to init first Display PCI
connect VGA and HDMI
VGA will be primary, HDMI will be black
run Ubuntu 16.04 installer
Settings>Displays set Launcher placement to All displays
Settings>Displays set resolution that works for HDMI (720p on mine)
Open Terminal run "xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set underscan on"
Settings>Displays turn VGA off
Add "display-setup-script=xrandr --output HDMI-0 set underscan on" to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
edited /home/.config/monitors.xml so only HDMI exists
unplug VGA
reboot

Without editing monitors.xml it worked, but a VGA monitor had to be plugged into the computer.

The BIOS has init first option set to PCIe (the hd3450), other choices are "onboard" "PCI".
Set BIOS to init display first PCI instead of PCIEx that works for Windows.

I did that.

BTW, pretty much the same problem with Ubuntu 16.04.

Ok this time 7.0.2 running from USB drive after I set Kodi to hdmi0. No video on either screen, just the mouse pointer.

When I tried to reset the resolution to either 1920 X 1820i or 1240 X 720i the bottom right quarter of Kodi is displayed in the upper left corner of both displays, reverted back to the default res reboot got this.

dmesg

xrandr

Xorg log

Something like success! Set BIOS to init display first PCI instead of PCIEx that works for Windows.

this worked for 7.0.02
1. with VGA and HDMI attached
2. change Kodi to hdmi0
3. reboot
4 change Kodi resolution to 1920 X 1820i
5. reboot
6. detach VGA
7. reboot

But then updated to 7.90.008
I'm still working on that.

does not work in 7.90.008 xorg server will not start with or without the VGA. Except; Sometimes after setting the res to 1920 X 1820i the bottom right quarter of Kodi appears on the upper left of both screens.

Re installing 7.0.2.

now 7.0.2 won't do it. Tomorrow is another full day to work on it. Most of the time xorg never gets to load, but linux is running I can usually SSH.

Well this the logs when I run libreELEC from the thumbdrive. This install dmesg has odd stuff about kodi and nvidia. The hardrive won't load xorg without a VGA connected. I did try blank other display. tried setting to hdmi(0). doesn't get to Kodi unless a VGA is connected. The BIOS has init first option set to PCIe (the hd3450), other choices are "onboard" "PCI".
These look odd to me, I have done nothing to this installation, but set the network up.

here is xorg.log

here is dmesg

Here is xrandr

LibreELEC 7.90.008, now 7.0.2
AMD PC, motherboard has nvidia VGA
ATI Radeon HD3450 video card (is supported by the kernel)

When booting as soon as grub finishes the HDMI display goes black, if a VGA monitor is installed along with the HDMI, LibreELEC is on the VGA display.
In Kodi I changed the monitor to HDMI(0) the HDMI stays black.

dmesg reports no errors and radeon does setup. There is a warning for radeon cursor locked.

On the same machine using another hard drive with Linux 16.04.

no display if only HDMI is connected, if VGA AND HDMI are connected, dual screen works, even if the VGA monitor is turned off.
I did mess with display settings, having both turned on is the only thing that works.

I may have changed to the proprietary driver on Linux.

Is there a way to change to the proprietary driver in LibreELEC?
Any other solutions/ideas?

Same computer and all hardware works fine with Windows; except that upon installation it had to have a VGA monitor attached as primary. After it was installed I could reassign the HDMI as primary and disconnect the VGA.

Not true on my "early this century" Polaroid 40" flat screen. Adjusting the TV only scales the overscan to fit the TV window. When I move to a newer flat screen the default overscan calibration is fine.

I think it has something to do with frequency; Polaroid has 59.4 Hz 1080p, not 60 Hz.

Does "tried everything" include setting the "system>settings>Display>Resolution and reset it to the correct resolution" in Kodi?

So far, you have only said what you have done to the cables and the TV.

It is not news that LibreELEC has read only system files.
/storage is the only user accessible folder.

I don't know if this bit from lirc.org helps anything, but it might.

TV cards
To use any remote control receivers connected directly to a bttv based TV card you will need a working bttv setup in your kernel. For most TV cards we rely on bttv autodetection. That way you don't have to give any parameters to the module as they are selected internally depending on the information the bttv module gives us. This means that you should pay attention that your TV card is detected correctly by bttv, as can be checked using dmesg(1).
