Quote from Yorker

I actually found out that the reason this is failing is that the machine i used to write the img can't seem to mound the 2nd partiton as ext4 for some reason (proboly kernel related) but on another machine it's fine so i guess since it can't mount it properly it's not written properly or something... but for some images it was able to mount... and i couldn't find the main cause in the kernel option between the too (still looking).

But i want to thank you all for your assistance with this issue

DD transfers an image that contains both partitions. DD will never try to mount these partitions.

Again, it claims to run on Android but again it will run LE shandalone rather than side loaded?

LE is an operating system, not an app. You can only side load apps.

Hmm... I am sure when I bought this Pi it was a Pi2... but let me try the Pi1 image, because the same SD card works with other image files.

Maybe you didn't understand DaVu. If it uses a SD card it is no RPi2 and has never been one. If it uses a microSD card it can't be a RPi1.

CEC is much more of a hassle, on an unmodified RPi depending on your TV you might be stuck with few commands available and will want to add an IR Receiver.

Do I understand it right that you have CEC problems only on a RPi? If you have problems on the C2 too, then tell me which.

Raybuntu and me have made the CEC support for the C2, but we both have Samsung TVs and never got any problem. So we are interested in reports from problematic TVs.

Why not chromebox?

Because it has the same disadvantages like the NUCs.

Gerald

Oh, you want to compare?

I have 2 NUCs, Wetek Core and Play, Raspberry Pi Zero, 1 and 2, Odroid C1 and C2.

The NUCs are now used by the Kids as normal desktop computers. Buying them for use as HTPCs was a wrong decision.
They have bad deinterlacers so content with 1080i looks very bad on them. Everytime I got told that the next NUCs, that will come after that I had bought, will do it better.
Even every Raspberry Pi makes a better picture.
The NUCs have no HDMI-CEC support. that is a no go for me. Every HTPC should be able to do that. There exists an adapter, but it costs nearly the same as an Odroid C2.

The Odroid C2 is currently the best supported device. The Wetek Hub will be the best all in one solution.

Gerald

The Wetek Hub should make a perfect replacement. It has less memory, but 2GB is just not required.

This is so annoying. I answered this just some seconds ago in the OpenELEC forum. I hate cross posting. Don't expect me to repeat it here.

Quote from punter

OK €5 from me for starting on the S905

There is already a S905 build in LibreELEC master for the Odroid C2. It works for me.

Using LibreELEC on Odroid C2 just received. When KODI starts up, I get CEC apapter error message. What is the issue and solution?

Most likely you TV doesn't support CEC. Disable CEC in the kodi settings.

Quote from Dave-Kay

But NONE of them work with the Odroid C2 and Libreelec !! and I don't want to pay another $12 for the remote they sell (unless someone has one and can confirm it works with LE)

It works.

Quote from Klojum

Is it the 'too small system partition' problem?

6.0.3 to 7? I don't think so. Was enlarged before I think.

But he might want to check how much place is left on the /storage partition. Maybe it is not enough to unpack the tar.

Quote from ute

( IMO stick to a Rpi )

Or go for an Odroid C2

Quote from jesterod

can you install other stuff with this like in "osmc" or if the file system locked like in "openelec"?

Yes you can do that as there is no need to have this other stuff inside the system partition.

Quote from Xtropy

I am currently running Openelec 6.0.3 and want to upgrade to Libre 7. I downloaded the .tar Openelec manual Generic build and placed it in my Update share. After I reboot I get a message saying "Found new .tar archive. extracting.... " and then a message stating "missing KERNAL or SYSTEM.... normal startup in 10s".

Open the .tar file on you PC, 7zip can do this, and look what is inside. You forgot to tell which hardware you are using with OpenELEC.

Quote from RobB

Hopefully some one can help on this part?

No help possible until you describe more detailed what you are doing to add a source.
