How does this work?
The 8.0.0 build looks for the LIBREELEC_DISK label at every boot and will use the first device it finds with the correct label for storage.

You have 2 options how to install 8.0.0:

1. from a working 7.95.3:
- first run tune2fs -L LIBREELEC_DISK /dev/data on SSH
- then update to 8.0.0 using tar (copy 8.0.0.tar to update folder and reboot)
- you'll get 8.0.0 running with storage on the internal NAND (and with settings from 7.95.3 kept)

2. from the recovery:
- first install 8.0.0.zip as usual (you will get the error when booting)
- then format SD card or USB drive with EXT3 and LIBREELEC_DISK label and insert it in the box (do not let Windows format it and do not try to copy anything to it)
- reboot the box and you'll get 8.0.0 running with storage on the external device (clean installation, no settings kept)
- now you can keep running with storage on the external device (good if you have a device with broken internal NAND) or you can switch to internal NAND by running tune2fs -L LIBREELEC_DISK /dev/data on SSH and removing the external device

Use the 8.0.2 build from the first post to get Kodi 17.6 on MX2.

thanks

being a windows user,

I used your method 2 and successfully installed "LibreELEC-Amlogic_MX2.arm-8.0.2.zip",

but I got Kodi 17.3 not 17.6

is it possible to upgrade it to 17.6?

I would be eternally grateful.

Hey guys,

Huge Kudos to KOPRajs for keeping this alive,

I decided to dig up my old MX2 and use it as a kodi client.

I am running kodi on multiple devices with latest stable version 17.6 and all sharing the same database on mysql.

some of my devices don't even support kodi 18 yet.

kodi is a bit sensitive regarding all kodi connecting to the same database running the same version.

how can I get kodi 17.6 on LibreELEC?

huge thanks in advance.
