  • Migrating from RPi 4 to RPi 5.

    Yes.

    1. LibreELEC Configuration -> System -> Backup -> Create System and Kodi Backup

    2. Clean Install RPI5 with LE Image + Basic Konfiguration

    3. LibreELEC Configuration -> System -> Backup -> Import System and Kodi Backup

    Works very well. I do that too.

    Hello

    I also plan to upgrade from RPi4 to RPi5 and use the skin Aeon Nox Silva. Are my settings there also part of the backup you described?

  • RPi4 - SSD as boot medium for Libreelec- not working

    The issue is solved: I had to update the Raspi firmware via Libreelec settings.

    I's not about if is faster or not. It's about if worth to gain few seconds boot time (3-5 seconds or more?) when lose the safety of keeping the boot/system separated from personal/media data. After an bad update or reinstall, the time lose will be definitively more than few seconds in the case of booting from SSD what contains few tons of media files too... Also the boot time can be reduced by limiting some writes to card (disabling the log files, in the case of PVR redirecting the EPG database to ram-disk...).

    I had an unused SSD flying around and just wanted to try it out. the investment of 10 euro in an adapter. The result is nice but not overwhelming. Boot time and running through the menus is quicker and more fluent: slightly, not significantly.

    Ok, maybe an adapter issue, found this thread:

    Thread

    Pi 4 not wanting to boot LibreElec from SSD

    Hi Community,

    I tried writing LibreElec to a SATA SSD using the usb sd writer, and connected it to my pi via a usb 3.0 to sata adapter.

    The pi doesn't want to boot the LibreElec install, despite me writing the usb boot firmware, and the Pi managing to boot other OSs from the SATA SSD just fine.

    Does LibreElec support being booted from an SSD on a Pi 4?

    Thanks.
