Yup, thats what I meant. I dont mind that logo, I just wanted a custom pic in place of the LE one. That worked, thanks!

Btw would you know where to put in a boot parameter like quiet/ morequiet to hide the version info on the wallpaper at boot?

I used the custom image while I was booting from my SD card. But ever since I did an 'installtointernal' it has reverted back to the stock libreelec wallpaper. Anyway to reverse this?

EDIT: Never mind, figured it out. Looks like the installtointernal does not copy all the files from system.

Hi, I'm rather new to compiling from source but it seems very interesting in terms of the customizations possible. I was able to download the packages from github and make a small mod, compile and have successful working update files. But I had very precise instructions about the mod to be performed.

So I looked around but could not get answers to some specific questions that I have in my mind:

1. How do I compile LE so that it installs an addon? Where do I place the addon? Any other files to modify?

2. How do I preset some files and settings, for eg. I want guisettings.xml to be custom and also lets say I want to set HDMI video output and HDMI audio output and not any other.

3. How do I try and install drivers, lets say for an unsupported wifi chip? And maybe remove for those I do not care about?

Appreciate any help!

Can I just install the addon and expect working blu ray?

How do I tell if HDR is working? I have a S905X box connected to a HDR Sony TV, played a HDR test clip (Life of Pi) and the picture seems ok.

So also brings me to ask - what happens if you try and play a HDR clip and the box is not able to render HDR? How would I know?

Sometimes when LE starts, the screen goes blank for a second and then the main page reloads (kodi crashes and restarts?) Its not always, but I think it happens either after I disconnect power to the box (Amlogic 905X) or after I connect to another location. Previously I was running similar configuration on a generic build and it used to happen at that time also. If there is some rogue addon or configuration issue, please help me identify! Thanks in advance.

Recompile kernel, remove console=tty0 from CMDLINE.

Is it possible using mksquashfs rather than re compiling? Cant figure out where to find CMDLINE either

kszaq - any idea about this? Thanks in advance!

On my current LE setup on my x86 machine I am booting from a thumb drive. I have created a new partition on the boot disk called 'downloads', and set my downloads to be saved on this completely new partition. The reason for this being, if I accidentally downloaded something too large to the storage partition and it ran out of space, after reboot I would be greeted with the stock confluence skin and not the skin I set. Apparently this used to happen because guisettings.xml has to be written to just before shutdown and there would be no space for this to happen. Is LE and this variant of the OS also susceptible to this issue? If yes, is there any way I can create the extra partition on the internal nand of the box I am using? In addition to the standard Libreelec and Libreelec_disk partitions ie. If I create the OS on a thumb drive or SD card, create the extra partition and then 'installtointernal', will it create the extra partition instead of just 2?

Oh you don't mean the Boot Logo for the Box, Copy your favourite image to /flash/oemsplash.png

Hi, I was using a trusted old Intel mini pc to run kodi on using libreelec. Decided to switch to the cool and ultra small form factor Am Logic 905 platform, Libreelec 8 installed. Just having trouble running some old addons that ran smoothly on the old box. In this case, k media torrent. Can someone take a quick look as to what might be wrong?

Debug log here - log - Pastebin.com

PS, went through the banned addon list to make sure any kind of torrents are not under that category

There is no "file" with logo on other boxes, there's a dedicated partition with logo in custom Amlogic format. Try to look it up at Freaktab forum.

I have already 'installedtointernal' on my box so there is no android left anywhere and all the instructions on that forum inddicate android based fixes which involve booting to android. Anyway, how would the 'libreelec' logo end up residing on any of the android partitions?

Looking for some help please. Bought a Sunvell T95X 2G/16G

Works well except for wifi. Anything I could try. Getting wifi to work would be the icing on the cake.

I installed on an Odroid C2 and could successfully install a custom splash screen (LE splash, not KODI), but how does one do it for a 905x android tv box? Any instructions for custom splash for the same? Cant see anything that I can change in the 'libreelec' partition.

Also, the oem remote that came with the box seems to be working and powers on and off the box too. Is it safe to shut down the box this way without selecting 'Shutdown' in Kodi?

Why "Libreelec" resolution switching? Doesnt this happen with kodi on other platforms too, I think I remember seeing the same settings under player>videos. Are we referring to the settings "automatically adjust refresh rate to match display" here or something else?

I'm planning a build with this GPU - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Graphics Cards | NVIDIA GeForce

Would it work with LE?

Would it be a significant improvement over lets say, an Intel HD Graphics 505?

GPU says it supports HDR, any way I could get that working?

I assume HEVC decoding etc should be a piece of cake for this device.

Which config.txt is this?

Understood, thanks for the great information.

I was of the impression that it would atleast show the disk/ drive in file manager or under video sources. Seems not.

You could also go to Settings>Appearance>Zoom and reduce it to fit the screen
