changing parameters in config.txt doesn't worked for me.
I changed the vertical refresh rate in Kodi from 60 Hz to 59.94 Hz, wait time on refresh update to 2 s, plus resolution from DESKTOP to 1680x1050 and now work with my Philips TV.
Anyway it is bad that old LibreElec 16.1 worked well without this hack, while the new version black the screen after the LibreElec splash
my installed release is this one:
LibreELEC-RPi.arm-8.2.1.img.gz
Do you think the developers are interested to fix this bug?
Where I had to complaint other than the support forum?
I just discovered that NOOBS recovery Install option will wipe all the SD card OSs, and not Re-Install LibreELEC only.
So instructions at:
speaking how to update LibreELEC when NOOBS and dual-boot is present, MUST mention that: will erase and reinstall Raspbian too!
PINN 2.4.4 boot loader has the ability to upgrade only LibreELEC:
STICKY: PINN - An enhanced version of NOOBS. - Raspberry Pi Forums
so automatic update of LibreELEC to 8.2.1 is still broken.
The one of 8.2.2 is fixed?
Sure the update notification is shown as I have 8.2.1 and 8.2.2 exist, but it never get installed.
I rebooted twice, both times the notification is show, still to 8.2.1
I had an old Rpi1B, just updated to LibreELEC to 8.2.1 with Kodi 17.6, and I experience this trouble (old 16.1 worked well).
Swithing ON the Pi, the Philips TV automatically select HDMI1 and show the NOOB and LibreELEC splash screen, but them only black screen.
Selecting again with TV remote controller the INPUT selector to HDMI1 (require to cycle all the inputs) the Kodi interface is shown.
Now I will try your work around, certainly better, thank you.
I just updated LibreELEC to 8.2.1 with Kodi 17.6
When it see the internet connection, say me there are update available (with both auto and manual update) with an info pop-up.
But apparently it never do the update.
I cannot find a menù option to start the update, neither with Auto update or Manual update.
How to force the update?
thanks, yesterday I already downloaded 8.2.1 .img.gz file, so I uncompress it, it is sized 575 MB.
I enlarget a little the LibreELEC home partition:
$ lsblk
NAME SIZE FSTYPE LABEL MOUNTPOINT
sdc8 512M vfat LIBREELEC /media/efa/LIBREELEC
sdc9 668M ext4 LibreELEChome /media/efa/LibreELEChome
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc8 512M 142M 370M 28% /media/efa/LIBREELEC/dev/sdc9 625M 12M 567M 2% /media/efa/LibreELEChomecopy the .img file there by my PC, on next reboot it can skip the uncompress stage, and go directly to update kernel and system.
Worked, thank you for he hint.
It's a pity that is just released 8.2.2
I already do that, when I disconnect the net and reconnect the cable, it back to auto/DHCP.
I just updated to LibreELEC 8.2.1 with Kodi 17.6, same results.
Saving the ipv4 option to manual, keep the setting on your Kodi once disconnect and reconnect the cable?
As I had a very old NOOBS version (first one after BerryBoot), I also updated it to last version (2.4), following instructions at:
Updating Raspbian on your microSD for the Raspberry Pi 2 – The Pi Hut
same results.
Seems remain only option 3) to update LibreELEC from itself.
I need to know what is the minimum space needed on LibreELEC partitions to successfully update.
now I figured out that '/os' directory is present on both NOOBS partitions:
/RECOVERY/os /dev/mmcblk0p1
/SETTINGS/os /dev/mmcblk0p5and install instruction at:
does not clarify which is to be used.
Apparently RECOVERY is for OS images to be installed, while SETTINGS contain the already installed OS.
So I tryed to copy the untarred file 'LibreELEC-RPi.arm-8.2.1-noobs.tar' directory 'LibreELEC_RPi' to '/RECOVERY/os/' directory.
On reboot it show the multiboot menù selection, but selecting LibreELEC start the old 7.0.2 and do not start the update process.
on Kodi 16.1 I tryed to set Connection to Manual instead of DHCP, and set a static IP.
When I disconnect the net and reconnect the cable, it back to auto/DHCP.
I'm using USB tethering on a mobile, so I haven't a real DHCP server, and the resulting Kodi IP is everytime different.
How to fix the connection to Manual/static IP, and disable the DHCP ?
for completeness here the available space on the partitions:
Partition Size Avail Use% FS Label Mounted on
sdb 7,3G
+-sdb1 1,1G 92M 92% fat32 RECOVERY /media/efa/RECOVERY
+-sdb2 6,2G extend
+-sdb5 131M 2,2M 99% ext4 SETTINGS /media/efa/SETTINGS
+-sdb6 63M 42M 34% fat16 boot /media/efa/boot
+-sdb7 5,0G 494M 90% ext4 RaspbianRoot /media/efa/RaspbianRoot
+-sdb8 512M 384M 26% fat16 LIBREELEC /media/efa/LIBREELEC
+-sdb9 512M 427M 3% ext4 LibreELEChome /media/efa/LibreELEChomeSolution #1: It's admirable and expected, but just let LibreELEC do the untarring and subsequent updating
expected as instructions for NOOBS at:
explicitly say to "unpack it to the /os folder".
Anyway I just copied 'LibreELEC-RPi.arm-8.2.1-noobs.tar' to '/SETTINGS/os/' directory.
On reboot it show the multiboot menù selection, but selecting LibreELEC start the old 7.0.2 and do not start the update process.
How to force the update using Noobs?
hi,
I'm new in this forum.
I tryed to search for update but results a lot unrelated questions, so post a new thread.
I had a very old RPi 1B to be used mainly as media player with a 8 GB SD and remote controller:
SODIAL(TM) Mouse USB senza filo con telecomando per PC: Amazon.it: Elettronica
There is Noobs to dual boot Raspbian (fully updated) and LibreELEC 7.0.2 and Kodi 16.1 that I never updated as it work.
Yesterday I tryed to update LE, following the instruction at:
1) first attempt I downloaded:
LibreELEC-RPi.arm-8.2.1-noobs.tar
untarred the file and copyed the directory 'LibreELEC_RPi' to /SETTINGS/os/ directory
On reboot it show the multiboot menù selection, but selecting LibreELEC start the old 7.0.2 and do not start the update process.
2) then I tried to copy the same .tar file to /LibreELEChome/.update/
on reboot it find the new file and start to uncompress, but it say no KERNEL or SYSTEM found,
and this seems OK as this is the update file for Noobs
3) then I downloaded:
LibreELEC-RPi.arm-8.2.1.img.gz
and copy the .gz file to /LibreELEChome/.update/
on reboot it find the new file and start to uncompress, but it say:
Uncompress failed, no space left on device.
So now:
I have not much space on the 8 GB SD, so I need to know what is the minimum space needed on LibreELEC partitions to successfully update.
My current SD partition table is:
sdb 7,3G
├─sdb1 1,1G fat32 RECOVERY /media/efa/RECOVERY
├─sdb5 132M ext4 SETTINGS /media/efa/SETTINGS
├─sdb6 63M fat16 boot /media/efa/boot
├─sdb7 5,0G ext4 RaspbianRoot /media/efa/RaspbianRoot
├─sdb8 512M fat16 LIBREELEC /media/efa/LIBREELEC
└─sdb9 512M ext4 LibreELEChome /media/efa/LibreELEChomesomewhere I read to size the partitions to 512 MB that is my case, but apparently doesn't work.
As alternative, how to force the update using Noobs?
