  • Android OS disappeared?

    When you installed libreelec you had a choice - install to sd card (or usb stick) or install to internal memory.
    If you installed to sd / usb then you can either:
    'Reboot to nand' - may be in your power memory if you're using the default skin;
    or power off, unplug the sd / usb, power on.
    If you installed to internal memory then android is gone. You'd need to reinstall.

  • RPi 2 LE 8 : Set /storage and /var to USB flash drive

    Quote from csimai

    I've got an 8 gb microsd with LE 8 on it. For the moment all source is on this disk. Then there is an empty SanDisk Cruizer 32 gb usb formatted to ext4 (it is recognized but not used at the moment).

    With cmdline.txt is there a way to redirect just the storage directory to the usb or will the entire root have to be redirected?


    Rather than write it again:
    thread-1456-post-12362.html#pid12362

    Bear in mind that will boot to an empty partition on your stick. But if you make a backup on your sd card you can restore that to your stick.

    Edit: other people will tell you to use UUIDs rather than labels. Up to you, it all works.

  • OK button and context menu on MCE remote

    Quote from pjm.47


    Hi, just discovered LibreELEC, I'm running it on raspberry pi3 and I must say it's brilliant. Just one problem I have though is that when using Kodi in Windows I can hold down the ok button on the Media Center Remote control to bring up the context menu. But on the LibreELEC Rpi build this no longer works, holding down ok button just repeats lots of ok presses. I'm actually using a Logitech remote with a Microsoft IR receiver, it may be something to do with that but like I say it worked fine on Windows with Kodi.
    So has anyone else come across this and is there a way of fixing it? (I'm ok with Linux and editing config files etc).
    Thanks
    Paul


    Does the 'Guide' button not bring up the context menu? That's what I'd expect to see.
    As above though, you can probably* change the longpress behaviour with a keymap. You can certainly map the context menu to a separate button.

    *As in you can certainly change it, and it will probably work - I've had difficulty with distinguishing longpresses with particular remotes though.

    Maybe I didn't read enough documentation, but I'm wondering if there's a sweet SSH command I can use to push the updates, rather than re-format and flash a fresh copy on my sd card. I'm completely fine re-formatting and restoring each update, but I'd be punching myself if there was an easier solution.

    I thank ANYONE in advance who replies


    I'm sure you can update via ssh - I've never bothered because doing it via smb is so easy.
    Download the update to your pc - either the img.gz or the .tar, doesn't matter.
    Open an explorer window and navigate to your device (eg I use '\\192.168.1.42' or '\\Beelink' to see my box at that IP with that hostname).
    You should see a bunch of links, one of which is 'Update' - this is a shortcut to the /storage/.update folder on your box. Paste the file you just downloaded into there. Reboot libreelec. Done.

  • [Solved] Keys from USB Remote Control not detected

    All I did was to follow the advice in the link.
    So run...
    udevadm monitor -p
    unplug your dongle, plug it back in, look for your vendor id and product id (they weren't named exactly that for me but they were fairly obvious). Or post the output here.

    No guarantees this will work for you, obviously - I'm no expert in this. It just looks like a similar issue.

  • Repair crashed instalation?

    I guess you mean you're imaging the card, writing a new card, copying everything off the fat partition, writing the image back to the card, then deleting the contents of the fat partition and putting the new files on it. That would work but it's easier - less messing about - if you can find an old usb stick down the back of the sofa.
    In theory it will also work when you're moving to a pi3. I've always started fresh going from pi to pi2 or pi3. But actually what you have now on the card should (I think) boot on a pi2 or pi3.

  • Repair crashed instalation?

    The easiest way I can think of...
    Head to the downloads section.
    Follow the instructions to make a new sd card with the usb-sd creator tool - using a different sd card or usb stick.
    When you're done, take your old (non-working) card and wipe the fat partition (the partition you see in windows, about 500MB ish).
    Copy everything from the fat partition of your new card that you've just made onto the old one.
    Boot pi with the old card and it should update to libreelec.

    Making a backup of the old card (if in windows using win32diskimager or usbit) first wouldn't be the worst idea in the world.

    Alternatively...
    Do something similar (ie make a new sd card) but this time do it using the same openelec version as was originally on your card - so from the openelec site, download an image and write to an sd card / usb stick with win32diskimager. After moving stuff across between cards your pi should boot into openelec again on the old card - you can do your backup and try again.

    I took a look in install script. It search for remote.conf in various locations


    But I didn't have any of those. Do you have one for MXIII ?


    I'm presuming you mean Beelink minimx iii...?
