A friend of mine has a raspberry pi 3 with libreelec and it works, but it's on 12.0.2, so perhaps it's about time to upgrade. The docs say "download this tar ball and copy it to this share", fine, but where is the tar ball? The article at https://wiki.libreelec.tv/support/update tells me "Updating LibreELEC is (mostly) simple and can be done automatically, manually from inside the Kodi GUI via the LibreELEC Settings add-on, by downloading an update file from our website and copying the file to a local Samba share, or by running a command from the SSH console.", which is fine, except that it's linking to https://libreelec.tv/downloads/, where no such file can be found.

Any ideas?

PS: The raspberry pi 3 really is 64bit, but this software is 32bit. Not a problem, though, just a thing.

Hi all

I need to automatically start and loop one or more video at startup. I'm using https://videolooper.de/ for this at the moment, automatically playing off whatever h.264 file(s) placed on a thumbdrive, but it doesn't handle large files too well, whereas LibreELEC can indeed handle 1080p even on a pi2. So I read that to start autoplayback and loop a single file, I can just add this to Startup.xml

<onload>PlayerControl(Repeat)</onload>
<onload>PlayMedia(/path/to/file.ext)</onload>

Fine, but I found that file in /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.estuary/xml/, on the root filesystem, which is squashfs, which again is read-only.

- Any idea how to fix this easily?
- Also - even if it's fixable by "just" making a new filsystem with the correct xml file on it, I still need a way to change the filename to be played, at runtime.

Thanks in advance for any help
