This link is no longer working, anyone know how to do this nowadays with latest LibreElec? My Pi has a fan.

Some "Video Core 6" drivers, will eventually result in significantly better performance for LibreElec, RPi4 - that's what I thought.
I will wait, patiently.

Ok darn!!!
I posted about being unhappy with Pi4 performance for LibreElec and someone mentioned the video driver is the problem. This is a shame.

I meant more software than hardware

Anyone know if I can dual boot it with RetroPie?

I have had this problem with Kodi many many many times over the years, no idea why.
I remove the item from the library entirely, set the library type to nothing, cancel scanning the folder, clean the database.
Then re-add
Still won't appear - pisses my poor wife off!
She has to go into 'files' mode, NOT 'TV' mode for her shows - they're not in the library.
What am I doing wrong?
Video!

I thought this might be a fun topic to expose features people might not know about.
My system is pretty basic, I've been using Kodi since XBMP on the OG Xbox.
I run the Aura Skin, with some custom playlists for my wife, so my more obscure movies are filtered out.
I run a weekly cron script which backs the entire system up to a file, so I can re-burn an SDCard super super easily.
I did run PiHole in docker but moved away from that, if I recall not all docker options are viable on ARM processors.
I love my screensaver, it's"Picture Show Screensaver" it slides art for random TV and movies around in a very dim mode when left alone for a bit, helps me see some cool stuff I have.
I have autolibrary updater plugin running.
No VPN, Wireguard, or web based TV streaming options for me personally.
I found getting youtube working a bit tricky to make the API key (and we have switch and PS4 anyhow)
Wished I could've got Netflix working but it's kind of tricky if I recall, with a mediocre UI, vs "real" Netflix.
What about you guys, what have you done to your system that makes you particularly happy with it, beyond the stock skin and functions in the tool?

With PINN (and I assume Noobs too) it is possible to select which OS to boot into during boot up process and select which OS is normally booted into etc. Relevant sections of PINN Readme on github :-
I have Raspbian and LibreElec installed on SD via PINN on RPI4 and with PINN boot process am able to switch between OS as my needs dictate.
Also able to keep each OS manually updated to latest, when booted into partcular OS etc.
Not attempted Video conferencing in Raspbian though, use mobile for that these days as much more portable etc.
Thanks for your reply, I'll have a play with this.
I don't suppose you know a way I can make it so I can select the boot OS BEFORE I reboot - so no keyboard interaction is required?
-
So even if the default boot option was always Kodi, I couldn't make a one time shortcut which reboots into Raspian? Then once you reboot Rasbpian it auto boots into Kodi?
-
Fair point entirely!! I thought this was a very long shot.
Let me ask, is it difficult to dual boot LE and not have LE break itself on updates?
Any guides?
Bonus: Some way to have a menu item in Kodi, that you select and it reboots and chooses the other OS?
-
Is there any way to do this? I get the impression it can be done on a Pi but it's not easy. Anyone know if there's plugins for LibreElec or even some way to split boot the Pi so it reboots into Raspbian and lets me run these things?
-
Well hopefully when it matures it'll be better, my fingers are crossed!
I just want 1080p, 60fps in the UI! I don't even care about 4k.
Thank you.

Minor increments maybe, but I'm not expecting any .. but then I don't experience general performance issues with the GUI as-is. What is the issue?
Let me clarify - you're not expecting UI performance increases UNTIL the new driver, or you're not even expecting UI increases after the new driver?
-
I'm not referring to overwrite as much as I'm referring to prune, literally orphaned files no longer used by the linux OS powering the device or the Kodi application.
-
As this is NOT the area to gripe about issues, I'd just like to thank everyone responsible for this software. The update went flawlessly on both my NUC and Rpi3B setups.
Just amazing software, what it does for a Pi is incredible.

Maybe in a few years Google will make 64bit versions of these files. Hopefully.
-
Yeah but like
Say you over write
/data/file01.blah!
/data/file02a.blah!
with
/data/file01.blah!
/data/file03a.blah!
DOES file 02a get deleted? Are there any orphaned files, inside the folders for the OS and application?
