there is no 10 bit HEVC support but only 8 bit

Did I specify 10 bit? I said I was looking for HEVC playback support. All the content is 8 bit, so I'll have to install Linux Mint and use Kodi that way instead of LibreELEC.

Likely your double Intel/NVidia GPU notebook system is.

It is not. It's the same system.

NVidia HEVC support either because of the lack of VDPAU acceleration.

Are you sure about that? Because a quick google search has yielded that the drivers for 8 series and above support VDPAU.

Hardware video acceleration - ArchWiki

I'm unsure what is supported at all in Linux for your NVidia Optmius system.

I don't have an Optimus system, it's a regular dell latitude with a gtx 950.

So what you're saying is going Kodi on a full desktop Linux is my best bet?

Better use youtube thread in Kodi forum for such questions.

It was working for me on CoreELEC on an android box, so I thought there might be some tweaks on LibreELEC to get it to work.

Use ls /sys/class/drm/

ls /sys/class/drm/

card0 card0-eDP-1 ttm

card0-HDMI-A-1 renderD128 version

Disabled the Nvidia ones and now it works.

One problem though, YouTube gives me 401 when I try to sign in.

EDIT:

I tried to actually use it with the Intel drivers, it cannot handle hevc video. so, how can I get the Nvidia drivers to work?

Code >/storage/.config/udev.rules.d/97-xorg.rules

Now the TV shows the screen, but this is what is shown on it.

Could you direct me towards any guides regarding both options you mentioned? Because I Googled both and everything I found was not applicable to LibreELEC.

Hello, I'm trying to get LibreELEC x86 on an older Dell laptop with a gtx950, but when I connect the HDMI cable nothing happens.

I've run xrandr and here's the output:

HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

it says disconnected on HDMI1, my suspicion is that it's related to the fact the laptop has 2 GPUs, one that's built-in to the CPU and one discreet, and that I need some sort of tweak to tell LibreELEC to talk with the GeForce one.

Am I close?

Some community images and skins have those "reboot to internal" commands hacked in. No official images have them.

Wait, so you're saying not all kodi here have that feature? How will i know which to install?

that's the only way for me to do that without taking out the sd card. And since when is pissy offensive? You wrote NO! In all caps even though i understood what you wrote and wrote it back. That came across is pissed, hence i felt you were writing pissily.

Nevermind then, i understand now and thank you for your insight it is what i needed to get started.

stop being pissy, and read what you wrote. It could be read as though i can install libreelec on the sd card and from kodi to reboot to internal.

so my only choice is to first boot kodi from sd and reboot internal from there to get to android? It's better than nothing i guess. Thanks.

so how do i boot to android if i want? It was not stated in any of the guides and videos i read and watched.

Hey thanks for the quick reply.

1. I know libreelec kodi runs 1080p i've done the research, which is why i want it.

2. I know it runs from the sd, i've read the guide. I was asking if there's a way to get it on the emmc besides android and either choose to boot to it or android on startup, or launch libreelec from android.

Hello everyone, i have an x96 mini that i wanted to get libreelec on due to the fact right now kodi only works in 720p as shown in the kodi settings.

That said, i was wondering, is there a way to dual boot like linux and windows dual boot? What i mean is i boot the machine normally and am presented with a choice to which os do i want to boot to?

Because so far i've only seen libreelec run from an sd card that you need to get into recovery to boot to.

I just want to keep the android option for this box, while still enjoying kodi at 1080p.

Thanks in advace, and have a great day!
