Starting with Kodi Matrix/LE10 you have to create an Autoexec Service yourself: https://kodi.wiki/view/Autoexec_Service

I'm using this image, "LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-10.0.3.img." Am I suppose to follow the instructions in that link you gave? I tried following the instructions on that link, but I can't get anywhere. This image is booted from a windows 10 pc, so do I get to the folder from the pc side of things? appdata\roaming\kodi, or from Libreelec /storage/.kodi

Either way, using the file manager in kodi, I cannot find a kodi folder. If you guys don't mind pulling teeth, please continue to show me the way. If you want to give up on me, that's cool too. LOL! I would understand.

Chewitt, I am making these shufflers for vintage tvs. Would you be able to show me step by step what to input in putty? Is it pretty much the same as the youtube video? Like I said, I can get the pc to load into Kodi. I can set up my root password, and turn on ssh.

So in putty...

1. root and password

2. cd /var/media/name of usb/Videos

3. cd /storage/.kodi/userdata

4. nano autoexec.py

5. In the autoexec.py I paste....

import xbmc

xbmc.executebuiltin("PlayMedia(/var/media/name of usb/Videos,isdir)")

xbmc.executebuiltin("PlayerControl(RandomOn)")

xbmc.executebuiltin("PlayerControl(RepeatAll)")

So far, do I do everything the same for a windows pc? What would be step 6? The code you provided for syslinux.cfg? Do I open that the same way as config.txt? For example: nano /flash /syslinux.cfg

Like that? I apologize, this is all a foreign language to me. LOL!

Hi Guys, first of all, I consider myself a newbie. I don't know programing, coding, or much of the lingo. But I'm pretty good at following directions and getting things to work. I followed this youtuber's 24/7 TV shuffler tutorial and I was able to get my raspberry pis working.

Recently, I noticed in LibreElec image creator that there's an option for "generic amd/intel/nvidia" So I tried turning some mini pcs running windows 10 into a tv shuffler by following the same instructions above for raspberry pi. I knew it was a long shot since that tutorial for raspberry pis. LOL! And of course, it didn't work. Some things were different. I got as far as getting the pc to load into kodi, but the movies didn't start. Some things were not the same when it came to inputting some code in putty. For example nano /flash/config.txt was blank, whereas in the raspberry pi tutorial above, it was populated with lots of codes.

So basically getting the pc to load into kodi was as far as I got. The movies doesn't load, and I didn't see what I normally see in the pi, which is a notice flashing connecting to cec adapter before the movies would start. Just creating this thread in the off chance that someone has already created a tv shuffler using a windows pc and can give me some directions. Thank you in advance.
