I've been using LibreELEC on a RPi4, hooked unto an OLED TV. I'm a little concerned about burn-in from all the white text in the Kodi(Estuary) UI, such as the time in the upper-right corner of the screen. After trawling the interface/skin options, I couldn't find any way to change the font color or to disable the time from being displayed.

Ideally, I'd like to set the color of all text displayed to black(including subtitles). Can anyone tell me ho I can go about doing this? (I'm fairly proficient with ssh, html/xml, etc)

I've followed the instructions in this thread (How do I make a system file retain a modification?), but I don't know which file(s) to modify. (The latter posts mention the method in the thread no longer work).

Da Flex. Cheers! Worked like a charm!!

I've got LibreELEC running on my RaspberryPi4 with the default 'Estuary' skin, hooked up to my LG CX TV, which comes with a 'LG Magic Remote'. It would appear that CEC is working as the basic controls (up, down, left, right, 'ok', play, pause) using the 'LG Magic Remote', work just fine.

I've been struggling to find a way to 'stop' playback, bring up the context-menu(to be able to 'safely eject' external storage from my RPi), and the ability to bring up the UI to select subtitles and scrub back-n-forth in the timeline.

Obviously, the LG Magic Remote, does not have a 'stop' button. I've tried pretty much all the other buttons on the remote to bring up a context-menu or the UI to control subtitles and scrubbing, but none seem to work.(Image(LG.com))

Could someone recommend how i could go about getting said functionality? I haven't tinkered with remapping keys on my LibreELEC install, so am not sure how to go about doing it (is there a UI to help with it, or is ssh the only way, etc?)

Cheers

The USB disk mounts fine, and i can see and play files in other folders on the same drive.

I’ll try fixing errors on the drive on my PC and see if that helps.

Any other reason?

I wonder if LibreElec keeps a cache of the filesystem(on the SD card) and maybe that has been corrupted? If so, Is there any way to clear it?

Cheers

I plugged a USB drive into my RPi2 running LibreElec8.0.1, and one of the folders has started appearing as empty(it wasnt appearing empty before). When i plug the USB drive into my PC, I can see all the files in the folder.

Not sure whats going on, any suggestions?

Cheers

Thanks!

I have LibreElec installed on a RaspberryPi2. I wanted to know if there's any way to safely eject an external drive which is plugged into USB?

Short-question-long:

I have been physically ejecting the drive after I stop any media from playing and navigating back to the main/root menu in LibreElec. But I noticed some files go missing on the drive and/or not being listed in the LibreElec file browser (sometimes they appear when I plug the HDD into my PC). Does LibreElec write anything onto external drives, or does it just read? I suspect it might be happening because I haven't safely elected the external drive.

Cheers
