The root users $HOME directory is /storage so cd will take you to /storage and there is no separate 'storage' folder.

Great!! Many thanks chewitt, it works .

I tried "LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20250730-ecfa284-odroid-c2.img" and "LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-12.80.3-odroid-c2.img" but I cannot play any .mkv file. During the startup I can see this error:

"[FAILED]Failed to start display.service". Could be this the reason?

There any way to solve the problem or should I install older versions? T searched in the forum but it seems that there's no information about this issue...

Stop Kodi on the target device and then copy the sources.xml/passwords.xml files over from /storage/.kodi/userdata and DB files from /storage/.kodi/userdata/Databases and then restart Kodi on the target. Kodi will detect the DB files and migrate the content into new DB files versioned for the current release. Export/Import is .. something I've never used.

Thank you! I managed to do this (I don't know about Linux), but when I try to enter into the "storage" folder is not possible. I'm root so, I think that I should have access it isn't?

Last question: I want to copy the film database only (not skin profile, configuration, etc..) from my ODROID-C2 with 9.0.2 to the spare ODROID-C2 with LE13 in order to test how it works.

Following the Wiki instructions i exported the media-library database in "Separate files" but it do not asks me where to export so, I cannot export to the USB pendrive and connect this pendrive later to the LE13 to import the library.

What the hell I'm doing wrong?

Many tyhanks

Please use an LE13 nightly from https://test.libreelec.tv or the test image here https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/

It works !! Many thannks chewitt

Same here, with red led

Click on the link of my post #3, there's another threat with information about this.

I tried some AMLGX images but they don't boot ¿? I downloaded the image using LibreELEC USB-SD Creator and recorded the microSD, but when I turn on my ODROID-C2 (spare) only the red light turns on but nothing happens.

If I connect the eMMC card from the other ODROID-C2 it boots without problems so, the hardware is OK. What I'm doing wrong ?

EDIT: I found "[Odroid-C2] GXBB / S905 and LE 11.06 or 12 does not boot" and I'll try the suggestions of this post. Thank you!

I'm actually my LibreELEC 9.0.2 running on the ODROID C2.

I want to install the 12.0.2 but it seems that ODROID C2 isn't in the installler list. It's not supported anymore ? If so, which is the last release that can I install on the ODROID C2 ?

Thank you

Many thanks for your support, but after several attempts in different ways I didn't success. Finally I'll re-scrap the series from Kodi because I think that's the easiest way.

I don't know. Can you give example of a path you want to change?

Also: It's a good idea to stop Kodi before doing changes to database by hand

Of course. The old HDD was titled VIDEOS FOTOS, and the Series were into the SERIES folder.

The new HDD is titled PELIS 04 and the Series are into the VIDEOS FOTOS SERIES/SERIES folder.

I tried to replace the path VIDEOS FOTOS (old) by the new one VIDEOS FOTOS SERIES in MyVideosXX.db

What I don't know is if it's also necessary to repace the HDD label (PELIS 04 instead of VIDEOS FOTOS and if so, where it is.

Many thanks for your concert about the database but don't worry, I'm using my spare ODROID-C2 with a copy of the database from the ODROID-C2 used to watch the films so, nothing happens if the dabatase becomes damaged. I only want to test first before to apply the modification.

You don't need to install sqlite3 since it is already installed/present in the OS. And you don't need to prefix commands with 'sudo' to run them as root since you are already the root user. TL/DR; Just run the fix commands.

Well, finally I entered the lines:

UPDATE path SET strPath = REPLACE(strPath,'/current/VIDEOS FOTOS/','/updated/VIDEOS FOTOS SERIES/');

UPDATE movie SET c22 = REPLACE(c22,'/current/VIDEOS FOTOS/','/updated/VIDEOS FOTOS SERIES/');

UPDATE episode SET c18 = REPLACE(c18,'/current/VIDEOS FOTOS/','/updated/VIDEOS FOTOS SERIES/');

UPDATE art SET url = REPLACE(url,'/current/VIDEOS FOTOS/','/updated/VIDEOS FOTOS SERIES/');

UPDATE tvshow SET c16 = REPLACE(c16,'/current/VIDEOS FOTOS/','/updated/VIDEOS FOTOS SERIES/');

UPDATE files SET strFilename = REPLACE(strFilename,'/current/VIDEOS FOTOS/','/updated/VIDEOS FOTOS SERIES/');

but there's no changes in the database, the path remains the same ¿?

What's wrong?

Enable SSH and use PuTTY (Windows) or the native SSH clients on Linux/macOS to connect

I managed to connect with PuTTY and found the video database at "/storage/.kodi/userdata/Database". How can then edit the database file?

When I try to install sqlite3 following the link that you said I get an error message that says that "There is no working sudo" ¿?

If I copy the line without "sudo" another message says " There is no working "apt-get". It seems that these commands do not work in my LibreELECT 9.0.2 installed in an ODROID-C2?. What are the correct comands then?

Thank you!

Many thanks chewitt. How can I access to the console from LibreELEC? I have the 9.0.2 version installed on a ODROID-C2.

Well,, finally I adedd the new disk as a new source in the database and the problem is already solved.

Sorry....

I recently added a hard drive to Kodi and I copied all the series from the old drive. As the path and folder are differents to do not mix series with films, it no longer plays the series.

How can I change the path "by hand" without scraping the whole series again ? After scrapping for the first time I had to do quite a few modifications and I wouldn't want to lose them.

Thank you

Hi,

I have Kodi 18.2 Leia on LibreELEC 9.0.2 and after some years, today I added a new HDD to the system, making a total of 4 HDDs. If I want to add a new film to the database, I do the following:

- Copy the .mkv file to the HDD

- Go to the Kodi File Explorer

- Select the .mkv file with the right mouse button

- I press "change contents"

- I press "videos"

And at this point the films list is shown and if press the .mkv file I can download the film information from Internet to the database.

This is true with the old discs, but the new one after pressing "videos" nothing happens and the film is not added to the database and therefore I cannot download the film information from Internet.

Should I have some special operation with the new disk ?

Thank you!

Use wget to download the image at SSH session.

After two years I'll try again so, now I have 9.0.2, if I upgrade to 10.0 in this way, will I loose all the LibreELEC and Kodi database and configurations ?

On the other hand, if I download the USB creator the most upgraded version for my ODROID C-2 is the one that I already have (9.0.2) Does it means that this is the last compatible version with my hardware?

Well, reading some posts I found that the way to connect is:

root@<your.ip> and password.

I set a new password but when I type the password the message "Acces denied" is shown. This means that the connection is stablished and the user recognised but, what I cannot access if the password is correct?

Following the video steps, when I tried to login as root using PuTTY I get the message "No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey,keyboard-intractive)."

What can I do?

EDIT: Incredible! using the Windows Command (cmd) instead of PuTTY I connected without problems. It's crazy!

Problem solved, many thanks
