Sorry, no. I'll probably stay with LE8 a while once it's branched. With that said, this alpha is quite stable. I've been on Krypton for a couple of months and it's worked great for me.

Yes, I've looked at it. Alpine is a slim distribution indeed, but it's using musl libc so won't run Chrome or Plex for example.

You're seriously suggesting they keep the lead architect chair for the man that was the reason of the fork? That makes no sense at all. I suggest we let the LE team handle their own business. The commit logs speak for themselves as to where the action is

They are not part of my build.

Actually, the design is quite genius and the reason a lot of people like OE/LE. It lets you upgrade the entire system safely with one file. It's also a good idea security wise as the base system is read-only. Building is quite simple and once you have built it it's easy to recompile just the kernel. What options do you need? If they are useful maybe a PR could be made, but I can enable it in my builds anyways.

Maybe my wording was wrong I meant you can absolutely build in an encouraging way Kernel config is in project/"target"/linux. You'll need to build the entire image, so will take a while.

I'm unfamiliar with ucvideo, so can't comment on that. You can absolutely clone my github and build yourself. At the moment you would need to comment out the emulators in the "oem" package of your target, but I've been thinking to make it a configurable option like EMULATORS="yes/no".

I've just uploaded new builds, and now I include SABnzbd, Transmission and Sonarr.

To start them do "systemctl enable service ; systemctl start service" in SSH, where service is either "transmission", "sabnzbd" or "sonarr".

Transmission: libreelec:9091
SABnzbd: libreelec:9092
Sonarr: libreelec:8989

Hopefully useful to others who want more from their HTPC's

I've packaged Emby as well, but I'm having some build issues with one of the dependencies for RPi. For Generic it works fine, but after trying it I much prefer Plex. Anybody know if it would be OK license wise to include it in a LE community build?

Good to hear! Bubble Bobble, one of my favorites Try Snow Bros for mame if you haven't already

You'll need to modify scripts/image to install it, or add it to another package's dependencies.

What's the problem? Hit CTRL or whatever button you mapped option to then "QUIT"?

If your BT dongle is supported by the kernel, then yes.

I might do Sonarr

You'll need to bind the controller through the input menu. Key bindings for options are ctrl/alt as described on first page.

I've uploaded new generic build with SABnzbd as well. "systemctl start sabnzbd && systemctl enable sabnzbd"

I'll make some default settings for Transmission so that you won't need to edit settings.json. For the future I'll look at integrating Emby and maybe even Plex Media Player.

The RPi does not have Vulkan support AFAIK...

How much more user friendly can it get? Even if there was an option in LE settings, you'd still need to copy it over. If mounting /flash RW and copying the splash over is tedious, you can always script it. You could even create your own samba share with a preexec script, so that when you copy over a splash to the share, it'll automatically change.

New builds uploaded, now with Transmission included. To enable, do this in an SSH session:

# systemctl enable transmission && systemctl start transmission

Have fun

It's already included:

# ls /usr/lib/libusb*
/usr/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4      /usr/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4  /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so        /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0      /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0  /usr/lib/libusb.so

You can add a custom boot splash in /flash/oemsplash.png. There's also the option of disabling the Kodi splash in advancedsettings.xml.
