greenflash,

I remember there was an issue with overlays with older versions of NOOBS, which has been fixed.

You therefore could try to install a current version of NOOBS, or ditectly install LibreELEC.

Hi awiouy indeed the whole problem was that I thought I had an RPI2 and it was an RPI B+.

So, when I tried installing LibreElec I tried to install the WRONG RPI2/3 image.. and Noobs instead would download the correct version, that's why it did work with NOOBS.

The sad part is that your great addon won't work below RPI2, right? So basically it's a no go! I'll have to look for an alternative (it works fine in the RPI3s I have). Thanks!

Nevermind awiouy - a shameful mistake! I didn't have an RPI2 board.. It was a RPI 1 B+ instead. Checking back, I see you say this will only work in RPI2 or 3. Sad, well I'll have to find another way or upgrade to a RPI3. Thanks for your hard work and patience!

awiouy, update: well, I was able to install the Spotify Web Connect 0.0.3 addon (I extracted it from my RPI3 where it's working) in the RPI2 installation.

Thing is, it keeps rebooting when I try the wizard. I checked and ALSA seems not to be enabled (aplay -l will render "no soundcards", unlike the RPI3s).

I also updated the kernel in the RPI2. The only difference I can see now is that I'm running libreelec via NOOBS in the RPI2.. I added "dtparm=audio=on" in the boot config in the NOOBS Console, but to no avail.. Any ideas? Thanks!

For those who are interested, I have created a Librespot addon for LibreELEC, which does not require an appkey and runs on Generic in addition to RPi2.
Please discuss it in its dedicated thread.
Enjoy!

Oh and by the way I tried this new addon that does not require the appkey but it won't work in Libreelec in the RPI2 at least; it will reboot the machine when trying to run the wizard.

Hello chunki!

The addon should be in the LibreELEC Add-ons repository, in section Services.
You might have to update the repository.

Please report if you still can not find it.

Hi awiouy I was so glad when I found this addon as it's the only one working in Libreelec for me, in two RPI3s I have at home. But on installing on a RPI2 that I had laying around I cannot see it in Libreelec's repository (it does appear in the RPI3s). I'm using in all of them Libreelec 8.x.. Maybe it's because of the RPI2 hardware? Can I download manually somewhere? Thanks a lot!!

Hi everyone, I've been fighting to set up my Intel Compute Stick with a Kodi bootable system; it comes preinstalled with Windows 8.1 (and runs W10 too) but I want something leaner.

I've been able to setup Openelec (and then LibreElec 7.0.0) in its onboard storage and it runs with a very good performance, the problem is, that it won't accept the onboard WIFI board (Realtek RTL8723BS afaik).

Thus far, I've been able to set it up and test it by either using a USB hub for the setup (with keyboard/wifi dongles) and then once installed with a RTL8192CU dongle, but the thing is.. The stick has only a single USB port (the old stick at least, they corrected that in the new version) and I'm trying to avoid the hub as it adds extra bulk.

So, my question is: can I add RTL8723BS driver somehow to the LibreElec installation? I know the Openelec image is closed, but I was hoping there would be some "not so difficult" way to do it in LibreElec (i.e. without recompiling the whole thing).

Thanks a lot! I bet this might be useful for other people as well with these sticks out there.
