and for lowspec computers that doesnt run very well in 1080p, Its a great way to go..
I installed Openelec in another partition (very easy), but what i wanted, was to be able to share .kodi folder, so i was able to run kodi since debian, or Openlec
indistinctly having available same addon, setting, profile, favorites..
Finally it was possible, and im very satisfied. I can use both of them indistinctly; the steps i followed were:
1- Almost same kodi version: Kodi17.4 (debian) kodi17.5 (Libreelec)
2- Adding Libreelec OE_DATA partition to fstab, and linking .kodi in home, so kodi can read it.
3- Assign user permission to kodi home with autostart in debian; (everytime Libreelec runs kodi, it changes owners files to root)
(autostart.sh)
Code: Select all
sudo chown myuser:myuser -R /home/myuser/.kodi/
sudo chown myuser:myuser -R /home/myuser/AcestreamDownload/
I would say the compatibility its 99%, I just gave into some trouble with acestream-engine with Plexus-addon., under libreelec doesnt work, and cant be installed in the same way as debian.
There has been times, some movies didint play well or stopped in the middle with kodi and debian, Now when that happend again, I will be able to finish the movie by booting in Librelec and resume the streaming.
