PlayerProcessInfo is mapped to the 'o' when using a keyboard. But keep in mind the overlay results in some additional CPU load.

The Kodi fix is merged in the meantime and will be part of the next LibreELEC release.

You can test today if curious, the fix is already part of the latest Milhouse Test Builds.

Create a 9.0.1 installation stick, boot from it and type run at the boot prompt to enable persistent live mode. Follow the "Installing" paragraph in first post of the thread to install the test build.

Your current installation is not altered by the test.

Maybe the fix for Kodi issue #15723 can help you too.

Mar 18 13:41:11 kodi systemd[1]: storage-recordings.mount: Where= setting doesn't match unit name. Refusing.

Where= setting: Where=/storage/music

Unit name: storage-recordings.mount

Rename unit to storage-music.mount to get it work.

Enable Expert settings level. Go to Settings->Player->Videos and disable MPEG2 acceleration.

Try the work around from here.

Looks like you only build the package(s) but do not install them to the image. But this is really a wild guess.

LibreELEC vdr-addon is created without any vdr locale file.

If you really do need them you have to configure and add locale for all packages.

5schatten  Alucard No test needed. It has no effect because there is no i915.ko module that can be loaded by modprobe.

'm not sure how to do it with libreelec...

The driver is compiled into the LibreELEC kernel. You have to add a kernel parameter.

Make /flash writable: mount -o remount,rw /flash

Edit /flash/EFI/BOOT/syslinux.cfg, /flash/syslinux.cfg or /flash/extlinux.conf (depends how your system was installed) and add  i915.enable_fbc=0 after the quiet.

Save and reboot. Check with cat /proc/cmdline that the parameter is set correctly.

The LE9 Generic image includes an EFI32 boot loader.

But this is useless theoretical discussion. Create an LE9 Generic installation stick, type "run" at first boot for persistent live mode and test if your hardware is working.

Do you have any idea if I will run into driver related problems?

For example, if I install on a computer with an AMD graphics card, then throw the hard drive into the HTPC in question, will it be a disaster?

There is no hardware depended installation. All drivers are selected at boot time.

Mesa is build with assert() enabled. This is usually only used for testing and debugging programs. After disabling the checks the code may work despite the found error condition (or there will be a real crash).

You can build a LibreELEC image with PR3131 applied to test it on your HW.

It's an assertion in Mesa. May or may not work when build without.

It's a kernel issue: Buffering when swithcing to LE V8.95. 1 or 2 or 3 Beta from LE v8.2.5

You can try to use loglevel 1 in advancedsettings.xml without overlay, see Log file/Advanced - Official Kodi Wiki

In general legacy boot does work with LibreELEC installation media.

For getting the "Non-System Disk" error the BIOS seem to perform some additional partition layout or file system checks that fail on the GPT partitioned installer media with protective MBR.

To work around that you can try to set up the hard disk on a different legacy boot machine. The installer will create a MSDOS partition table on disks < 2TB.

Or install a different minimal Linux distribution, create the two LibreELEC partitions and add LibreELEC as default option to the boot manager.
