i asked this myself too recently 
With Kodi 22 just around the corner it will be not too far away, i guess. I'm looking forward to it and put my Raspi5 in the "just Kodi" role about a year ago. No more dockers running on it, no more TV-Headend server on it, just a "plain" Kodi-Playback device. No more hassles when updating... So, i'm trigger-happy to try out LE13 once it's available 
- in the past i had too many problems with Tv-Headend, Docker and so on when updating to new majors.
i just caught attention that 12.2 exists - it didn't show up under LibreElec 12.02 Updates/Updatechannel.
For those who want to know what has changed: https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…12.0.2...12.2.0
It has been a lot
Got it. Thanks for the explanation.
I guess i will wait for the repo release, though. Thanks for your efforts bringing it there and for all your work.
So it would be better not to install 1.1.7 from github if i want to take the "repo train"? (cause i end up having 1.1.7 AND 1.1.7.0?)
i had to activate a "hidden" feature in your plugin to deactivate the IR Reciever in the Argon case. I had double inputs cause of a existing USB Receiver (which i want to keep) I guess i will run into the same problem again when i completely deinstall the plugin and install the new one. Would you to build in a switch in the GUI to deactivate the IR Receiver in the Argon case?
found it: after "touch /storage/.config/argon40_rc.lock" the IR Receiver in the argon case is ignored. Does this still work with >1.1.8 after the name change of the plugin or does the lock file need to be adapted? (name)
OK, sounds reasonable. I will install the addon via zip first and will wait for a repo release for LE12.
Thanks HarryH
if i manually update to 1.1.7 via zip, will future updates via Repo be recognised? Or should i wait until it is in the repo and install from there?
Looking at Github: it seems to be a huge update, even a namechange and the need to deinstall the old plugin. I guess we should wait until the plugin is available under the LE Repo and then install after removing the old plugin. I guess configs will get lost too when moving to the "new" plugin?
Thanks! Will the updated rpi-tools come to LibreElec Updates?
there is currently no other solution than compiling the ffmpeg plugin yourself. You need to set up a LibreElec Dev System for that, change a config file and have some spare hours CPU time
If you want to do that i can give you the hints on which screws you need to work to brew ffmpeg 4.4.4 which is working.
no, i don't have or use a argon remote.
The case has ONE green led which lights up when powered on and flashes on sd-card access. I first thought it would annoy me but it turned out that it does not it doesn't shine very light in a dark room, so it is ok for me.
Thanks for the infos HarryH
so, if i add a NVMe SSD to the Argon case it will be booted by default? (over the microSD being in place?)
Maybe you built in a option in your addon to check if these settings are active or even to change the boot order in the addon?
hello HarryH , i finally made the jump to a Raspi5 and your plugin is working fine on the Argon40 V3 case with M2-NVMe extensionboard too
speaking of NVMe: i am currently using the Raspi5 with a SD-Card. I plan to upgrade to a NVMe SSD. Do you know how what i need to add to config.txt to make it boot from the SSD? The argon scripts don't run on LibreElec i suppose?
i would REALLY appreciate this. This Plugin needs to be in official repo!
