  • Possible to easily convert UEFI to legacy for x86_64?

    I have 2 cheap Chinese NM70 systems that have served me very well. However lately one seems to always reset BIOS settings ptting it into Legacy boot and the other seems to no longer want to boot UEFI mode. The answer to the obvious is yes I have changed the batteries in bith systems, The disks have been verified and boot other machines.


    My question is is it possible to convert my back-up USB that is UEFI, to Legay boot? I have MANY MANY custom sripts and custom functions programmed outside of the normal Kodi tuff.



    I was thinking of taking a chance and running Ubuntu boot repair on it and see if it would perfoem some kind of Magic. I think I would then end up with GUB and maybe a mess.


    It seems I recall a ultility to back up and restore that was specific to LibreElec but it probably backs up only addons and settings right?


    Also I read somewhere once that there was a bootloader that allowed Legacy systems to load UEFI, much like they do in hackintosh communities, even making OSX boot on Legacy BIOS.


    Ok I have seen there UEFI/Legacy questions around the web so many times and always have the same question. How is it that a CD or DVD like Ubuntu can boot Legacy or UEFI but I can not make an installed OS that does?


    Thanks for any help.

  • basic PHP server

    Chewitt , I understand that however if someone here seems to have an "official" release it seems it should work, even if it is php5 . I think ther real issue is it is not ready for LE 9

    I have a scan server that I wrote. I would love to run it on LibreElec but also need HTTP server with PHP support.

  • RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter

    Using the RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter . I can See that ifconfig shows:


    wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 48:A9:D2:55:9D:01

    UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

    RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

    collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000

    RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)


    This seems to imply that the adapter is supported, however in the LibreElec utility it does not show up.


    I am running x86_64 image 8.90.009

  • i Had really hoped LibreELec would be a viable solution

    i think part of the problem you have is the documentation and the attitude that you (collectively) display here and is all over this forum. In one case a user had a same problem I had , and it was you that seemed to accuse him if installing from a different repo and how the repo will update automatically. It does not but after all you DO KNOW IT ALL.


    You might want to think about how you seem to run folks off . Must be former Kodi devs from a couple years ago.

  • IPTV simple client with KODI 18

    I believe the LE repo as well as the Kodi Official repo, are not updating once going to Kodi 18. Been trying to get through this myself. I can not even install confluence from officil Kodi repo for this reason

  • i Had really hoped LibreELec would be a viable solution

    I had really hoped that LibreElec would be a viable solution for me . UNfortunately I have enconuntered quirqs in IPTV Simple client, Playlist Loader addon will not work at all due to lack of Python and/or Python-requests , it seems there is no way to configure the same remote map that I have used on XBian, Ubunbtu, OSMC. It seems the Wiki abou remotes is intended to confuse not clarify. The wireless suport seems very unreliable with 2 different USB WiFI adapters, both work fine with Kodi/Ubuntu


    It is too bad as the world needs a Good Kidi/Linux distro for x86 , this just is not it, at least yet.

  • IPTV Simple Client not available after reboot

    I have IPTV Simple client installed and adtivated.


    Upon initial activationb , it works fine. Then after a reboot, there is no longer the TV Option in Kodi. I go to addons > PVR and the IPTV Simple client shows "enabled" . I must then disable and re-enable so that Kodi shows me "TV" in the menu again


    Next reboot its gone again

  • Custom remote config

    I read the wiki about remotes and frankly I did not fnd it useful for setting up a custom remote.


    I have LibreELecX86_64 , WIndows MCE receiver, and Xbox360 IR Remote


    I have been using the same Xbox360 remote config with Kodi for years. I have an Lirc config that works with Ubuntu 16.04 , but for ubuntu 18.04 I had to revert to the older version of lirc 0.9.0 I think.


    So I installed Libreelec and have a partial working remote, it is to say that most of my custom buttons are not recognized , but up/down/left/right/enter seem to work.


    ANy ideas on how to proceed to get my remote working 100%


    Thanks
