Thank you for the info.
I tried that image in Raspberry Pi Imager, LibreELEC USB-SD Creator and BalenaEtcher.
None could format either SD card, I think they are both duff.
I've also tried Diskpart & putting them in my camera which has worked on multi partition SD cards before.
I'll order a couple more SD cards, what size /brand would you recommend for LibreELEC & games?
Windows 10
I'm happy to try Linux if you can point me to an image I can boot from USB.
This is getting frustrating, I cannot get either of my SD cards to format.
I've checked and each SD has had a version of LibreELEC on it with a 512mb partition and a 29.51GB partition.
I've tried:
Raspberry Pi Imager 1.7.5
BalenaEtcher Portable 1.18.11
None could write the LibreELEC image.
SD Card Formatter 5.0.2 Cannot format either card.
If you're primarily going to use LE, perhaps make a little effort to understand Games in Kodi.
I will, thank you for the link.
Before I start adding items though I need to put LibreELEC on a larger SD card and here is my next issue.
I've 2x 32GB SD cards that I can use so that I leave my original SD 16GB alone in case of user error.
I've tried writing a new LibreELEC image to them but both fail. Each in the past has had something for the Pi on them so have 2 partitions.
I've tried SD formatter & balanaEtcher but no joy writing to the SD cards.
Any help appreciated.
LibreElec has never given me an issue and I want to keep it as streamlined as possible for playing media as the Pi will get much more use for that than gaming.
I tried setting up a dual boot on the SSD.
The story so far:
Used PINN to setup Retropie & LibreElec but the SSD wouldn't boot even though I formatted it as Fat32.
I updated the Pi Bootloader eeprom & Firmware on the Pi & tried again to boot the SSD but nothing.
Next step is to try PINN on an SD card and see if that works.
I'm looking to mainly run 8-bit stuff with the odd 16-bit title so nothing too taxing.
I've checked the Wiki & couldn't see any info on emulators.
But you can install Kodi within RetroPi. Maybe you want to check this out?
I will thank you.
I've recovered a 120GB SSD from a dead PC and thought about putting it to use as a boot drive for LibreELEC on my RPi4.
Due to the extra storage space I'd also like to use it to hold some emulators, is this possible?
Use your mobile phone. Best remote control of all.
What app would you recommend?
Never found the need for a keyboard in LE.
I've found it useful for tweaking settings & occasional file management, I usually just plug in a Bluetooth keyboard but as I'm getting a new remote thought I'd try out an all-in-one device.
Can anyone recommend a remote control for the Raspberry Pi 4.
Would like a remote that has a qwerty keyboard (preferably backlit) but other than that no other requirements.
Many thanks for everyones work on this.
Installed fine & been running it for the last few hours without issue. 
I use FileZilla to transfer files.
When you delete files from the attached drive do you use XYPlorer or the menu in KODI?
I've tried FileZilla and the KODI menu both end up with errors over time.
I also have a homebrew disk mirroring program to make sure the live 6TB and the backup are kept in sync.
This is exactly what I have running, it's just once in a while something gets corrupted & new files don't show up in KODI until I run a disc scan to fix the problem.
Thank you.
I'll set up a test drive and run a few tests.
Always a proper shutdown.
Would exFAT allow me to do a remote disc scan & repair? (if needed)
Permanent repair is bad.
Sorry I don't understand.
Is this something that can be done?
Am I asking in the wrong place?
I have a Pi4 that I use with an attached hard drive (NTFS) I transfer & delete files using ftp without issue.
BUT every few months I have to plug the drive into my PC and do a disc scan & repair as things have become corrupted.
Is there any way I can do this remotely?
