De ontwikkelaars achter het Libre Embedded Linux Entertainment Center hebben versie 12.0.1 uitgebracht. LibreELEC is ontstaan nadat een groot aantal ontwikkelaars bij OpenELEC wegens onenigheid vertrokken zijn en voor zichzelf zijn begonnen. Deze Linux-distributie is gebaseerd op Kodi en kan een computer tot een volwaardige htpc omtoveren. Ook kan het op een Raspberry Pi of een aparte mediaspeler worden geïnstalleerd. LibreELEC versie 12.0.1 gebruikt Kodi versie 21.1 als basis, heeft een nieuwere Linux-kernel en bevat verder een verzameling aan kleine verbeteringen en updates. De releasenotes voor deze uitgave kunnen hieronder worden gevonden.
LibreELEC (Omega) 12.0.1LibreELEC 12.0.1 with Kodi (Omega) v21.1 has been released!
IMPORTANT64-bit capable ARM SoC devices including Raspberry Pi 4/5 have been switched from ‘arm’ to ‘aarch64’ userspace. Manual update in LibreELEC settings will not list LibreELEC 12.0 releases on switched devices as there are no matching arm images (only aarch64). You can manually update by placing a LibreELEC 12 release file (.tar or .img.gz) in /storage/.update and rebooting.
If using Widevine to access DRM protected streaming services like Prime Video, Netflix, etc. the Widevine CDN folder in /storage/.kodi/cdm on switched devices must be deleted before first use as the existing arm libraries do not work on aarch64 systems. On first use after deletion aarch64 Widevine libraries will be downloaded and installed.
If using Docker containers via LinuxServer.io add-ons the arch change should be handled automatically. If using containers installed from the console: arm containers must be removed before updating as they will not run on aarch64. After updating aarch64 (arm64) compatible versions of your containers can be (re)installed.
Updating from LibreELEC 9.x and older requires a clean install due to the Python 3 changes introduced since LibreELEC 10.x (Kodi v19).
CHANGES SINCE 12.0.0RPi gpiozero
- Kodi: updated to 21.1
- linux: update to 6.6.46
- several small updates and fixes
- RPi gpiozero is broken (due kernel version) and requires a workaround for now at LE 12.0.1
If you want to use it change line 66 of/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.rpi-tools/lib/gpiozero/pins/lgpio.pyfrom "

- Allwinner OrangePi Win does not work properly, currently unfixed.
- Allwinner and Rockchip devices are not widely tested. If there are problems please report them.
- Rockchip RK3328 (Rock64 …) devices are currently are not working.
GENERIC (x86_64)
- 50/60fps b64 HW decoding may need
force_turbo=1orcore_freq_min=500in config.txt to avoid AV-sync-issues/skippingThe Generic image uses GBM/V4L2 graphics stack and supports HDR/HDR10/HLG with recent AMD and Intel GPUs. The Generic-Legacy image runs X11 graphics stack and does not support HDR. Use Generic-Legacy if:
- You need support for nVidia GPUs
- You need support for the Chrome Browser add-on
- You see graphical glitches on older hardware, e.g. NUC 6th Gen
Intel and AMD hardware can switch between Generic/Generic-Legacy versions. Note that Generic (GBM) uses OpenGLES while Generic-Legacy (X11) uses OpenGL so visualiser and screensaver add-ons need to be removed and reinstalled when switching. You also need to clear the package cache in /storage/.kodi/addons/packages else reinstalling reuses the (wrong) cached package instead of downloading from the LibreELEC repo.
NB: nVidia made progress in support for modern graphics standards and recent cards (with recent drivers) can use mesa. However the mesa (GBM) drivers depend on Wayland which lacks automatic refresh-rate switching for a good Kodi experience and Kodi supports VDPAU not NVDEC. In short: there is still no clear technical path for modern nVidia cards to use the Generic (GBM) image, only Generic-Legacy (X11) and we continue to recommend users do not invest in nVidia GPUs.
AMLOGICThe AMLGX image allows older Amlogic hardware to run the latest Kodi version and add-ons but it is not as feature-complete or stable as older vendor-kernel releases. It is not perfect but quite usable with typical 1080p-oriented media collections:
- Supports Amlogic S905, S905D/X, and S912 hardware
- b64 1080p playback and seeking work well
- HEVC and VP9 1080p/4K playback work well but seeking is 50/50
- HDR works on S905X/D and S912 devices
- Multi-Channel PCM and Pass-Through audio works on HDMI up to 7.1 channels
- Software-only decoding on S905X2/D2/Y2, S905X3, S922X,and A311D devices
To set expectations the ‘No’ list includes:
- No support for updates from older LibreELEC and CE releases (clean install is mandatory)
- No support for internal eMMC install on box hardware except WeTek Hub/Play2
- No support for SSV6501 and S908CS WiFi chips
- No drivers for in-box DVB tuners
- No hardware deinterlacing
- No HDR to SDR tonemapping
The AMLGX image has a different boot and SD card preparation process so PLEASE READ THIS WIKI ARTICLE for more info on differences between AMLGX and older LibreELEC (and CE) releases.
BACKUPSKodi supports upgrades not downgrades. We recommend creating a backup BEFORE upgrading else rolling back to the previous release can be complicated.
