I still couldn't get Picons to work in LibreELEC. It's not the biggest issue, but since I spent so much time with it, I would really appreciate to succeed in the end.

Did you try this?

libreelec + tvheadend - local kodi fetching picons very slowly and with curl timeouts

On Amlogic, I had to apply this patch:

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index 169c0f2..dcbb608 100644

to get builds from the TVH master branch working. If I remember correctly, it happened after this commit and I had to manually check all the optimization options until I found the culprit: peephole2.

Looking at that log, the same happens on Rockchip.

For those interested, it can be done with irexec:

- Create the file /storage/.config/lircrc with the following:

    begin
        prog   = irexec
        button = KEY_FAVORITES
        config = Remote.sh
    end

where button is the key you want to assign and config a script like this:

#!/bin/sh
enabled=$(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep kodi.bin | wc -l)

if [[ $enabled == "0" ]]; then
    systemctl start kodi
else
    systemctl stop kodi
fi

that starts kodi if isn't running and stops it if it is.

Now you only have to add "irexec -d" to the autostart.sh file and reboot your box.

I had a Raspberry that I used as a Mysql, web, ftp, samba, nfs, oscam,... server for my Nvidia Shield and other devices but, since I now have an S905X box, I decided to use it instead as a server for a far better experience. What I want is to stop and start Kodi with a key from my remote control, because is a waste of power having Kodi in the background when I don't use it, and I'd like to know how to do it without the need of SSH and a PC.

Stopping is easy editing the keymap with the "Quit" function but, how could I send the "systemctl start kodi" command with the remote?

Thanks in advance.

They changed the repo history, so edit the packages/sx05re/libretro/retroarch-assets/package.mk with the latest commit: f5069cb

In my builds 480p and 576p work only over analog output.

Strange, I use 480p over HDMI all the time to play some SDL 1.2 ports at 480p with the fbcon driver, and the only problem I get is that the screen isn't centered (solved with this):

echo 480p60hz > /sys/class/display/mode

echo 40 0 1920 1080 0 0 18 18 > /sys/class/display/axis

I use a Dualshock 3 controller that works without problems but, is there a way to stop the leds from blinking all the time?

For those with playback problems with the DVBViewer and other PVRs, set the Settings > PVR > Playback >Fallback framerate option to 50 if you live in Europe or 59.94 is you live in USA.

My Mecool M8S Pro+ does not show a shutdown menu in LE. Hitting the power button shuts the box down with no menu choices.

You have to change the key assigned to the power button (I have mine set to f10). If you are using wrxtasy's remote.conf, change the line

0x59  116    # power

to

0x59  68    # f10

and then create a /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml with the following:

<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <f10>Suspend()</f10>
      <f10 mod="longpress">ActivateWindow(ShutdownMenu)</f10>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

A single press puts the box to sleep and a long press shows the shutdown menu. To enable the sleep mode, follow these instructions
