LibreELEC software is free but running the project is not, so we raise funds via public donations and sales of project logo themed merchandise. [H2] EXPENSES Our recurring expenses are hosting for downloads and build servers, and annual domain fees. We also encourage project staff and some regular contributors to expense test hardware when we can’t source it for free. We also extend this support to contributors of several downstream and related projects in our ecosystem who collaborate with us, as their testing and efforts often improve things we depend upon. [H2] DONATIONS We accept donations through OpenCollective which helps us to manage funds transparently and provide visible recognition to our personal and corporate supporters. Personal donors can request a tag for their forum account by sending an email to our contact@domain address with the details. If you have a repeating donation to our legacy PayPal account we would love you to switch over to OpenCollective. Please send donations to our Open Collective account or use the button below. [IMG: OpenCollectiveLink] [H2] MERCHANDISE The project sells project logo themed t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, stickers, etc. from our TeeSpring Merch store with profits contributing to the project.

LibreELEC 12.2.1 with Kodi (Omega) v21.3 is released! The release contains an update to Kodi Omega 21.3. [H2] CHANGES SINCE 12.2.0 Kodi: updated to 21.3 linux: update to 6.16.12 (RPi2-5 6.12.56) several small updates and fixes [H2] Generic-Legacy nVidia Changes The nVidia Legacy 340.xx driver remained usable for six years after nVidia discontinued support, but it no longer compiles with the latest Xorg release so has been dropped from the Generic-Legacy image for LibreELEC 12.2 and the future 13.0 release. This impacts older nVidia cards, which are unfortunately the majority of active nVidia installations. We have investigated ‘Nouveau’ and may add support to the main Generic image in the future to assist Lakka retrogaming, but it creates more problems than it solves for video playback and is not a solution for LibreELEC use. Future nVidia GPU support remains a grey area and we continue our long-running advice to avoid purchasing nVidia GPU cards for LibreELEC use. [H2] Tvheadend 4.3 Tvheadend developers declared v4.3 to be a stable rolling release some time ago and v4.2 has not been maintained or supported since 2019 so v4.2 is not available from the LibreELEC 12.2 repo and users are advised to move to Tvheadend v4.3. There is no direct update path from v4.2 to v4.3 so users will need to install v4.3 and configure a new installation. Issues with v4.3 should ideally be reported to Tvheadend developers via their forum (with detailed logs and info) but if reported in our forum we will do our best to assist too. [H2] NXP (iMX6/iMX8) and Qualcomm Limited support for iMX8 and Qualcomm chips was added in 2018 to assist the early stages of Kodi GBM/V4L2 development. They are mostly used with industrial hardware designs and tablet devices and this relects in no active LibreELEC installs. iMX6 was used widely in the past, but there are now few active installs, and those are using self-built images. Support remains part of our codebase but we have stopped building and releasing official images. [H2] UPDATING Users with 12.0 installs, or 11.0 installs on x86_64 hardware, can manually update as normal using the LibreELEC settings add-on or by placing an update file in the /storage/.update folder. Users with 11.x or 10.x installs on ARM hardware need to read below: 64-bit capable ARM SoC devices including Raspberry Pi 4/5 have switched from ‘arm’ to ‘aarch64’ userspace. Manual update in LibreELEC settings will not list LibreELEC 12.2 releases as there are no 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 (Prime, Netflix, etc.) the Widevine CDN folder in /storage/.kodi/cdm must be deleted first as the existing arm libraries do not work on aarch64 systems. On first use after deletion new 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 directly from the console: arm containers must be removed before updating as they will not run on aarch64. After updating you can (re)install aarch64 (arm64) compatible versions of your containers. Users with 9.0 or older installs must perform a clean install due to the Python 3 changes introduced since LibreELEC 10.x (Kodi v19). [H2] BACKUPS Kodi supports upgrades not downgrades. Create a backup BEFORE upgrading else rolling back to the previous release can be complicated. [H2] SUPPORT Project staff are available in the forum to answer questions and provide advice. If you have a problem, technical issues are best accompanied by system and Kodi debug logs - help us to help you.

Your Diagnosis
Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.
Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)
These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.
Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.
Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.
Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.
Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.
Based on 1130 businesses audited.
LibreELEC has 25.2 points less BS than the average for Software, SaaS & Tech Products.
Software, SaaS & Tech Products BS: LibreELEC (libreelec.tv)
LibreELEC is a rare example of a ‘Substance-First’ digital presence that prioritizes technical utility over marketing persuasion. The site contains virtually no BS, functioning as a transparent repository for a community-driven open-source project. Its only failures are technical SEO/Schema omissions, not communicative deceptions.
To reduce the remaining minor BS signals, implement Organization and SoftwareApplication schema in the JSON-LD to formalize the brand identity. Add Person schema for core contributors to bridge the authority gap between ‘project staff’ mentions and verifiable experts. Include an official status page link to provide real-time proof of uptime for build servers and download mirrors. Finally, add a small ‘Project History’ or ‘Team’ section to the Sponsor page to provide a human footprint for the technical excellence displayed.
The site is a perfect match for the Software and Tech Products category, specifically focusing on a Just Enough Operating System (JeOS) for the Kodi media center. The content is deeply technical, focusing on kernel updates, hardware driver support, and software versioning.
“The score of 8 is driven almost entirely by the Identity and Authority pillar due to the absence of structured data (schema_json: null) and the lack of named, verifiable expert footprints. Information density is nearly perfect, and the site avoids every identified industry cliché and marketing trap. For a non-commercial open-source project, this is an elite-tier substance score.”
