Yeah, chris66, you didn´t answer my questions. So please get us the info I have asked for. See:

Which OE version do you want to migrate from?

Yesterday a team user tried the exact same way like explained in the wiki I linked you to. He doesn´t use a xorg.conf and it works perfectly for him So, either you made something wrong, or you have a very special case. I´ll be a bit busy today, so I can´t test myself. But I will do over the weekend and then migrate that how-to to our Wiki and let you know how far I got.

AFAIK the DVBSky S960 is supported

Don´t have any experience with it, only using a card, which won´t fit for you.

With the card, everything is working nice.

ofc = of course

the mini hdmi shouldn´t matter in that case.

Well, if the how to doesn´t work anymore, I can´t help much on how to dump the EDID. Probably one of the devs is able to tell more.

You could try ofc.

You are sure, that HDMI-A-1 is the connected HDMI?

No...and if that doesn´t work, I´m unfortunately out of ideas.

could you please show us the content of the syslinux.cfg file:

cat /flash/syslinux.cfg | pastebinit

and get us the URL you will receive

Where did you place the edid.cpio file in the end?

If I see the xorg.conf you created it seems to be in /storage/.config/firmware/edid/edid.bin which is wrong as it needs to be in /flash in the end. See:

Quote

Remount the boot filesystem as RW, and move the cpio archive into place
mount -o remount,rw /flash
mv ../edid.cpio /flash/

You have to follow ALL the steps inside this how-to

And IIRC there is no xorg.conf needed.

enable debug logging in system settings
restart kodi
ssh in (username: root - password: libreelec)
and then:

pastebinit /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log

and provide the URL you will get from this command.

If you aren´t able to ssh in, then still use pastebin.com, paste it there and get us the link to it.

I hope there is something in the log. Could you provide it, please?

The quetion might be if the backupped zip (IIRC it is a zip file) contains something or not and if yes, what does it contain? If it doesn't contain anything then it might be easier to find out where the issue is. If it contains the correct files, then it's not the backup which fails, but then it's the restore.

Would be nice if you could check that, horstepipe.

Serious answer: no

Not so serious answer: What about attaching a bright red flashing USB stick?

Probably connect ot it via the SMB shares and copy the complete userdata folder to a different computer.

Or stick a USB Stick in and use that as a location

As a guess I would say that Amlogic devices don't use a video-range from 0-255. Instead I would guess it uses 16-235 which might be a reason.

On my Mobile phone right now...will check the link later.

Nothing to add anymore to the above, just that it doesn´t matter how large the libraries are. It´s possible on any system and none does provide a pro or a con for it. Youtube is possible via the Youtube addon.

The rest is already said.

That´s not a real problem. If it works before with OpenELEC it was kind of luck. Probably the boot process is a bit different now with LibreELEC, which might cause, that the HDMI handshake is done earlier with LibreELEC and the TV doesn´t provide the EDIDs yet. Therefore the NUC doesn´t get the EDID informations and you will get no screen.

To avoid that, you either have to turn on the TV before or dump the EDID like explained in this OpenELEC wiki:

Configuring a Custom xorg.conf - OpenELEC

Take a look at "Custom EDID" at the link above. After doing this you don´t have to wait anymore until your TV is up.

The question might also be, what do you need it for?

Do you have an AVR with HDMI inputs and are you able to listen to HD-audio formats like DTS-HDMA or DolbyTrueHD? If yes to all, then some S905 devices might be the better choice, because the RPi is only able to do DolbyDigital or DTS and it´s not able to passthrough HD-audio formats.

So we need a bit more information about your usecase to give a better answer.

I had to edit your first posting to see the dropbox link. Now I´m able to see the picture

What kind of TV is it. I only see LG on it

If you are able to ssh in, please get us the output of

xrandr | pastebinit

Yeah, I removed my posting, as the VC1 license should not be relevant in this case. So my posting was nonsense
