To all whom, gave input, thanks!

I finally found that the problem was hardware based. After changing config.txt by adding the line “dtoverlay gpio-shutdown,gpio_pin=3” the button did what it should do. After some reboots suddenly NOT any more. Be-course, I’d tried every other syntax, I’d determined that it had to be hardware related. Pure by chance I tried my 2 hand bought 3A power-supply, to use for charging my drained TomTom and it wouldn’t charge, or start.

Connected a different adapter, to the Pi and behold, after reboot I did got a shutdown menu. After renaming keyboard.xmlt back to keyboard.xml, the button performed a shutdown as it should time after time

There was another problem. To surch a switch; wires; connectors for GPIO in my things/stock, I found a suitable button and two pieces of wire with a connector, saved from a old desktop. For experimenting reasons, I didn’t shortened the wires, but soldered them to de two ends on de button.

Twisted the black and red wires and began experimenting. It made a cable approx 15cm and left it dangling of the RPi when the alterations took effect and the Pi was shutdown, after a few minutes it booted again, probably as a result of the to long wires working like antenna, or capacitator, when I rolled the cable together that problem was also solved.

This is much to deep water for me, if there is a typo, i won't regognize that and drowning would be likely. For instance: They are counting the GPIO headers in my option the wrong way arround. i would say that there button is connected on pin 13 and 14.

But I am so in experienced, that my pin 5 and 6 probably are 35 and 36

Mario77 : downloaded the zip and tried to install it, but unable to.

RPI tools is a console only addon, don't know how to use that.

I am in for other options.

Da Flex : I am also looking for, a way to shutdown LE with a button, so I came on this toppic.

Connected a button on pin 5 and 6, of the GPIO, and startup from standby, worked by default. Added dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown to config.txt, also made and added, /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml, after reading this toppic
Via SSH:

mount -o remount,rw /flash

(added dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown to config.txt)

mount -o remount,ro /flash

reboot

But, startup still works, shutdown does not, also tried several other syntaxes, like leaving the “=”sign out(as Allissonhsp, suggested) ,or adding ,gpio_pin=05 to the line(on my own accord, looking at the line for ir on pin 18) but still nothing happens after reboot. Now, I'm not an absolute beginner, but scripting is so not my Forte.

I’m working LE 11.0.3 with Kodi-Nexus on a RPI 3b. What am I missing?

Thanx Blueribb have 6.8.15.zip installed on the RPi and it works perfect. Installed Kodi on my laptop(w10) and installed 6.8.15 + Matrix and it also works, but like watching paint dry, perhaps i didn't get the settings richt. Found previous to this post also some discussions on Github and tried to edit some .py file, but didn’t had the syntax right, and it gave some horrible error in Youtube. I rebooted, forgot to save the found page, and couldn't find it afterwards. Decided that my scripting skills are insufficient, so I posted the problem here knowing that someone would take it up, and so it did.
Thanks to all who participated it took only 2 days for me

Tried the wizard didn't work, reïnstalled youtube, had to reënter my API but didn't work either, can not find Tubed ,Zero(which repository?)

I blame the API. Made that while I didn't know what I was doeing. Going to make another, see if that helps

Yes Blueribb, version 6.8.14 came automaticly and screwed it up version 6.8.13 had the fix in it, several times rebooted since.

Semiotik: I don't now which install-wizard you mean

Overnight Youtube addon on RPi 3b displays the message : “no streams found” followed by check log message after every film start. I think, it has to do with the latest update from the addon. In the previous update there is a fix mentioned for “no streams found”

Been digging on several forums and found older posts that pointed to changes by google in the API. I also use an API.

What can I do, perhaps wait until the addon or API is fixed?

Finally, found out whats wrong, using check-disk in Gparted, Gparted offered to correct the damage but will and cannot correct it because of the discrepancy. With the SD is physically nothing wrong but changes cannot be made because of the difference,

No idea how I did this. Anybody?

Following a part of the translated message:

The logical disk-building(1890,4,8192) mentioned in the file-system is invalid. The Build stored in the disk label is (121494,255,2)(cylinders,heads,sectors)

I’ll later gonna try bootsector.img as Chewitt suggested, already downloaded. Thanx4that.

Tried all the suggested apps/addons/programs, but looks like the sd is in one way or another become write-protected.

And when I tried to write the image to it, I got the message 256mb smaller then necessary.

Shrunk the original, made an image and tried again, same message. I think I’ll call it a day.

And keep the card for spare. Wrote the image to another 32 Gig card. Using my Ubuntu laptop with “Disks” as Elonesna suggested. Thanks for all the suggestions. I now have the backup I need but still don’t understand how the first card got corrupted or write-protect.

Klojum can you be more specific? Do you mean LE usb-sd creator?

Is there a LE image creator like win32DiskImager? Haven't found that yet.

That's nice tell me how, in detail.

Libreelec on Pi model 3b

After reading an image with win32DiskImager and writing it on a other sd-card of the same size, for backup, the Pi wouldn't boot, with the new sd with the following message

After trying to format for a new install, that didn’t work. I took a closer look and saw that the boot-device mentioned dev/mmcblk0p1 sounded familiar.

I’d seen that before, using a program to boot ubuntu-install on a computer that won’t boot on USB (Plopcec).

This mmcblk0p1 was the name of my builtin mediacardreader on my HP G6 W10 laptop and my other bootdevice was called something like /dev/sda0 or so.

Realising that, I took the cloned sd in an USB adapter and plugged it in, in one of the four USB ports from the Raspberry Pi, removed the original sd from its slot, powered on and behold, LE, and kodi was fully available.

I think something went wrong, at reading the image.

THE QUESTION: is it possible to edit one or another configfile to adjust the name of the device, what name should it have en what is the path/ location?

Or is there an add-on for the Pi that can make a new bootreccord.

Mind you i am a Windows pro but learning fast in Linux but i am still at a beginners level

So a solution within a GUI would be welcome, or else exact syntax to copy and paste.
