The current TigerVNC add-on appears to be compiled against X11 libs so I doubt it runs under Generic, and it probably runs into the same zero-copy video pipeline issues that all the Ambilight setups (that depend on copying buffers that can no longer be copied) enounter under GBM/V4L2. If my guess is correct the add-on will need to be dropped when we remove X11.

Interestingly I'm running two Intel NUC boxes both manufactured in the same year!

and Tiger VNC would only work on one even with both installed with;
LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-13.0-nightly-20260519-a7d93f5

I'm not very good with GPUs but I figured out one box had GPU
GPU: Mesa Inte(R) HD Graphics 500 (APL 2)
which VNC would NOT work on

But the other had GPU
GPU: Mesa Inte(R) Iris(R) Graphics 540 (APL GT3)
which is is far superior and VNC works! sorry, useless info but it does save me from walking all the way to the living room to setup Kodi for evenings entertainment... thanks!

I've been searching for a solution for a while, and it turns out there is a solution. You need to add the following to your advancedsettings.xml file. It will let you view animated gifs when in the Pictures section. Hopefully this will help other people searching.

I had forgotten I added that back in (filedate) 2023!

The flatpak add-ons require Generic (GBM) and will not run on Generic-Legacy (X11). The flatpak changes are an essential step on the journey to discontinuing the Generic-Legacy image; along with changes that enable the few remaining nVidia cards that can work in LE to use GBM/VAAPI via the elfarto VAAPI shim until future GBM/NVDEC support lands in Kodi. Unless you are "blessed" with an nVidia GPU and thus forced to remain on Generic-Legacy, you should switch to Generic.

thanks chewit, will Tiger VNC work on generic?

hi chewitt and LE team,

I just installed LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-13.0-nightly-20260512-e916680
and am happy to see the return of Tiger VNC, one of my fave add-ons thanks

there is a change log which says;
2026-05-09 (872d5a7): #11303 Add Brave Browser and Steam Link flatpak addons
but I cannot see the brave browser to install only Chrome which does not work? pls advise

document the IP address of your Kodi box and the IP address of your android phone

So unless there's an actual problem .. "nothing to see here, move along please"

You sir, are a legend! Thanks

LE is still working well ?

however I have been running Chrome on LE and it works well... it has to be on mini pc and has to be Generic-legacy 12 or 13 https://test.libreelec.tv/12.2/Generic/Generic-legacy/

ha same with me, also if you minimize chrome you can't get it back

in youtube add-on settings change the agent identity. I tried alternate 1 or 2 and it's working now

VNC works well on LibreElec
