Isn't this something that need to be changed (if it does need to be changed) in kodi itself rather than libreelec?

Do you have

max_usb_current=1

in your config.txt?

Without that the pi 2 will only supply 600mA over usb.
With it it's 1200mA (power supply permitting).

Just a question: is it possible to use a different remote by changing the remote.conf?

Yep - everything Gato Felix wrote.
Just one thing to add - the 'power on' will be hard-coded to your original remote - not a problem if you're using a Harmony or other programmable remote, but a pain if you just want to swap to another 'normal' remote.

If you can't figure out that remounting flash as read/write and running "nano /flash/config.txt"
means you're dealing with a file in flash then the second option - take it out and stick it in a pc to edit - is still there. The page is fine.

The answer is in your other thread:

For future reference...
If you want to refresh a whole bunch of files then you can either...
-remove them from the kodi source (ie cut and paste them into a different folder), hit the clean library button and let kodi do it's thing, then stick them back and update the library - at which point they'll be re-scanned;
or (if it's all or most of the files in a source):
Go to videos, navigate to the source and in the context menu change the content to 'none' - then clean the library, set the content back to 'Movies' (or whatever) and re-scan.

If there's something in the above you don't understand just ask.

At least, that's what I've read. I have only SSHd. And I long ago adjusted the view in windows explorer. But I'm guessing that it's true knowing that it is Read Only in Linux.

If you ssh in - or connect via smb - you can change stuff on flash but you have to change the permissions:

mount -o remount,rw /flash

If you stick the sd card in a windows pc you see what's on 'flash' (ie the first partition on the sd card) and you can change anything.

Edit: you won't see 'flash' if you connect to a running machine via windows explorer (ie smb) unless you edit samba.conf in storage/.config to show it. Maybe that's what you had in mind...

Has anybody mentioned that the flash directory is hidden in Windows?

Eh?

Yep, that would be a much better solution.
If you're often switching activities you could always just make a 'switch on' activity that just powered on the tv and Beebox with the delay (using just tv from devices and learning the Beebox power-on command), then switch to your real Beebox activity.
Still not ideal, obviously, but then it's at least just one extra button press, and after that everything works normally.

Quote from Bloksel

I recently bought an Asrock Beebox N3150 and have the following problem. My Samsung TV has a very slow startup and when I use my Harmony remote to start both the TV and Beebox, the Beebox is faster then the TV and Libreelec v7.0.2 does not seem to get the correct EDID string each first boot...

Does someone know how I can force Libreelec to a resolution my TV understands even if my TV is off when Libreelec is started?

Can't answer the second question, but as a workaround you can configure a delay on the harmony. It's a bit hacky - I'd do it by removing the 'power on' command from the harmony device settings (eg set it to 'none' or a fake command), then after starting the activity sticking in a delay (to let the tv fire up) and lastly powering on the Beebox.

Needs a debug log to see what's happening.
I was going to say it doesn't happen on my pi's, but since they're generally on for months at a time I wouldn't notice.

Just enable debug logging, restart, let the library update start and paste the log somewhere.
Logfiles.

hi.libreelec tuner works with Availink AVL 6862: DVB-S on k1 plus combo?

Read the first post.
Try it on an sd card.

Can somebody test to see if DOWNLOADS directory is visible Via File Manager.
I have no way of getting to it after this Update. (I have all files to be shown in my settings.)

It is visible on network via SMB shares. Weird.

Just a thought - does the folder actually exist?
If it isn't really there you'll still see the samba share in windows.
If you add /storage as a source (either in kodi's file manager or via samba.conf) does that work (ie you can see other folders in / storage but not /storage/downloads)?

Or just add Storage as a source and get to it via that.

Yes, you need to move the files. Have a read of the wiki, there are also a few good guides on the main kodi website if you search. The env.properties files are basically pointers - you edit them to point to your kodi data.
It's way off-topic here, but there is loads of info on the kodi site - as you'd expect... 'How do I move kodi to an sd card?' is a fairly common question.

Quote from adam.h.

I think you need to answer these questions if you are going to build some community around your project.

I don't think you, I or anyone else has the right to demand answers to anything.
A statement's been made. If that's not good enough for you nobody's making you use this software.

I am also out of memory on the Android. It came with 5G but Kodi takes up a LOT of space (with thinbs and such). I uninstalled EVERY app but Kodi and my storage is still full. Can't seem to find a way to expand memory in Android. With LE, I know it will be easy.

You can stick kodi or spmc folders on an sd card in android by using xbmc_env.properties or spmc_env.properties files - see the kodi wiki.
