  • [Odroid-C2] 4K MKV Playback

    Many thanks for your comprehensive explanation, it's clear for me now. After spending lots of hours checking different LE versions, I realized that the only one that works for me is the 9.0 that I already have installed in the past.

    I know it's because I use old hardware (Odroid-C2) but as I only use Kodi for films and series is enough for me. I installed the The Movie Database Phyton add-on and in this way I can continue download films information.

    And yes, you're right, after checking with MediaInfo I have seen that all the "problematic" films are HEVC.

  • [Odroid-C2] 4K MKV Playback

    I found some 4K Matroska video films that cannot be played in 12.2.0 and 13.0, but yes in 9.0 ¿? After a pair of minutes playing, they start to pixelate the image, pause and finally stop with the screen in green colour. Even sometimes Kodi reboots.

    I use the same hardware and settings during the tests (an Odroid-C2).

    Any idea?

  • Nightly 13.0 and CEC control

    Quote from sunlollyking

    I've been having this issue too on 13.0 nightlies. Essentially mapping my settings via the GUI and then on a restart all would be reset and overruled. My solution was to ssh in and chmod 444 my CEC settings so they became read only once i'd set them to what i wanted.

    But the issue was only the startup button, the rest of the functions works all properly. You have had also this exact problem? If so, what do you modified in the CEC settings?

  • Nightly 13.0 and CEC control

    Here we go again: I compared the LibreELEC 9.0 CEC control settings with the LibreELEC 13.0 ones and I set all the parameters and switches at almost the same values but the problem remains. The only difference is the Physical address that overrules the HDMI port. While in 9.0 is 0, if I set to 0 in the 13.0, at the next startup has changed to 3000. Of course, I'm using the same HDMI input in both cases.

    If I use the Odroid-C2 remote control I can startup the LibreELEC without problem so, it seems that I will have to use this remote control to just startup Kodi :(.

    Anyway, here are two pictures of the 13.0 CEC settings. If someone has some clue about how to to solve the problem, please let me know...


    Thank you

  • Nightly 13.0 and CEC control

    I have a Sony Bravia TV and I use to control Kodi through Bravia Sync. In LibreELEC Nightly 13.0 version all functions are properly working except the wake-up one. That is, when I press the Sync button in the TV remote control, Kodi is not detected and I have to reset the Odroid-C2 where LibreELEC is installed. By doing this the TV detects LibreELEC and automatically selects its video input.

    If I connect my spare Odroid-C2 with LibreELEC 9.0 installed all works as in the past, and I can turn on Kodi by pressing the Sync button. The configuration in the TV is the same so, what can I do? Is LibreELEC Nightly 13.0 supporting this feature?

  • [Odroid-C2] LibreELEC (Omega) 12.0.2

    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...

  • [Odroid-C2] LibreELEC (Omega) 12.0.2

    Quote from chewitt

    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?

  • [Odroid-C2] LibreELEC (Omega) 12.0.2

    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

  • [Odroid-C2] LibreELEC (Omega) 12.0.2

    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!

  • Manual path modification in the Kodi database

    Quote from gibbon

    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.

  • Manual path modification in the Kodi database

    Quote from chewitt

    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?

  • Manual path modification in the Kodi database

    Quote from chewitt

    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!
