Hi Griftopia, I also installed Libreelec on my Mac mini Server late 2012 and everything work super fine with the big exception of the boot... Every time I shut down the system and I power it on again, the next day, I have to switch it ON and then OFF, at least three times... It doesn't boot, you don't hear the HDD moving until the third time you try...

Yesterday I did all the cached EDID file procedure, I tried to switch ON and OFF the machine a lot of times an it always worked, I was so happy! Today I try to switch it on again and... nothing, I had to switch it OFF and ON several times til it finally started...

What can I do?

The Mini is a superb HTPC, when it works...!

Thanks in advance

I repurposed an old Mac Mini 2012 as well, it’s been brilliant, with the exception od not always starting first time. It’s been much more reliable since I zapped the PRAM – hold down the following keys at startup until you hear the chime – WINDOWS + ALT + P + R (I’m using a Windows keyboard.

I clean installed 11 (Nexus) from a USB key, followed the instructions in the video from your link, and it upgraded to 12 (Omega) fine - great, many thanks.

I didn't know it was possible to update to Omega from an earlier version, I thought a fresh installed was required.

Do you know how to update on Raspberry Pi4?

Nexus also installs fine from a USB key, just not Omega. I'll try updating it from Nexus.

Matrix installs fine via a USB key from the Mac boot menu, Omega freezes when selecting the USB key to boot from.

I've tried the beta and final release.
