but the file has this in it boot=UUID=1510-0002 disk=UUID=1d2456fd-f3e0-4c17-b0ad-8bc237d5b0cf quiet
nothing is working
That's the correct default content. You have to add parameters that way: Click!
Here is a syntax description: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/fb/modedb.html
As you can see, cmdline.txt has a totally different syntax, compared to config.txt.
I still don't get it or understand
HDMI options go to cmdline.txt. Other options go to config.txt.
I allready added that to the config.txt, the cmdline.txt has this boot=UUID=1510-0002 disk=UUID=1d2456fd-f3e0-4c17-b0ad-8bc237d5b0cf quiet
It has no effect at config.txt. You have to append the resolution to the above line by using a specific syntax (search please).
Eventually you also have to remove the other options starting with hdmi_ from config.txt, and append them to the above line. I'm not familiar with the syntax of cmdline.txt.
I dont see /flash/cmdline.txt I do see it in the root, it has boot=UUID=1510-0002 disk=UUID=1d2456fd-f3e0-4c17-b0ad-8bc237d5b0cf quiet
I'm using LE 10.0.3, and I have /flash/cmdline.txt at the right spot. Do you really use LE? Not sure whether it works at your spot.
Use the search function from LE's main page to find the syntax. The needed resolution is described at LCD35-show:
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=1
hdmi_mode=87You can also view the overlays folder from SSH under /flash/overlays, but it's read-only at first.
Read here, how to make the /flash folder writable: Click!
Copy the file tft35a-overlay.dtb to /flash/overlays/tft35a.dtbo:
After that you have to add some lines to /flash/config.txt:
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=spi=on
enable_uart=1
dtoverlay=tft35a:rotate=90
hdmi_cvt 480 320 60 6 0 0 0
hdmi_drive=2Eventually you also have to change the resolution at /flash/cmdline.txt.
Reboot, and see what happens.
is it possible to add the tft35a.dtbo in the overlays folder
I was just asking that question on our internal LE channel. I doubt it's possible, but stay tuned.
When you read your microSD on a PC, have a look at the /LIBREELEC/overlays folder. It contains all supported touch screen drivers as .dtbo files. If your 7 inch works with one of those, you're lucky.
It's possible to copy the GitHub folder to LE. However, the problem is the install script LCD35-show at the end of the card.
That script refers to the driver tft35a.dtbo, which is not available on LE.
yes it came with a card on how to install the drivers but its for Raspbian OS, LCD-show but I want to use LibreELEC with the touchscreen
Maybe you should post the content of that card.
Hello Everyone, The method from post #6 still works for updating to the latest stable (108.0.5359.124-1) while we await the new chromium browser addon.
Yep, that's the workaround for now. Nobody is working on that add-on ATM.
AlexELEC with Kodi 18.5 for mostly HD H264 off an SD.
Wrong forum.
One question though - How can I set it up so that Movies is the Startup window? Or, why can't I do that, when I can set just about everything else as a startup window? This puzzles me. It was the same with the previous skin too.
Go to Settings -> Interface -> Skin -> Configure skin... -> Main menu items.
Only activate "Movies" category.
This works with the default skin, but maybe not with yours.
Hi everyone,
I have the libreelec 9.2.8 version / raspberry pi 3b and I can't install vpn manager. I always get this error:
"the dependency on xmbc.python version 3.0.0 could not be satisfied"
Thank you for your help
You need LE 10 or higher to get Python 3.
Orange Pi 3 LTS is available, and seems to work nicely now: Click!
OK, then I keep this thread, and delete the posts in the other thread. We don't want double-posts.
So you said you want to use this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/155244952918
Mmm, not sure. I installed archlinuxarm on TX6 compiled against aarch64 architecture, but widevine library doesn't work with kodi. It says that it doesn't compatible. That is why I asked my question.
It probably has an incompatible kernel. Compiling a kernel includes many options. Search for a Linux with Google Chrome.
How it can be possible? What mechanism or tricks do you use?
If your device has Google Chrome support, then Widevine library will be extracted from there. That's closed source code, but it works.
Yepp, use something like 720p on video settings. That's basically for GUI only. When playing video, Kodi will auto-switch into higher resolutions for the content.
