OpenELEC Dual Boot on PC
How to dual boot(actually Triple boot) OpenELEC with Ubuntu and Windows.
- OpenELEC itself requires at least 2 partitions.
- Create the first partition, EXT4
- Label it 'OE_SYSTEM', size 512MB to 1GB.
- The OE_SYSTEM partition must be flagged as bootable.
- Both operating system files, SYSTEM and KERNEL, must be placed into the OE_SYSTEM partition (assume /dev/sda6)
- Create the second partition, EXT4
- Label it 'OE_DATA', size.
- Here all local OpenELEC/XBMC data will be placed, such as databases and thumbnails (assume /dev/sda7)
- Write down the linux drive letters & update the below file with it
- Unlike Grub, Grub2 starts partition counting from 1 not 0.
- Now update Grub2:
sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom
#!/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. # menuentry "OpenELEC" { search --set=root --label OE_SYSTEM --hint hd0,msdos6 linux /KERNEL boot=LABEL=OE_SYSTEM disk=LABEL=OE_DATA quiet } menuentry "OpenELEC debugging" { search --set=root --label OE_SYSTEM --hint hd0,msdos6 linux /KERNEL boot=LABEL=OE_SYSTEM disk=LABEL=OE_DATA debugging }
Now finalize the grub menu additions:
sudo update-grub
LibreElec Shutdown Button
Source: libreelec.tv, lowpowerlab.com, libreelec.tv
- Install Raspberry Pi Tools from libreELEC UI:
Program ---> Get more ... ---> Raspberry Pi Tools ---> install
- Create shutdown script:
nano /storage/.config/shutdown_pi.py
#!/bin/python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import os
import sys
sys.path.append("/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.rpi-tools/lib")
# Use the Broadcom SOC Pin numbers
# Setup the Pin with Internal pullups enabled and PIN in reading mode.
GPIO.setwarnings(False)
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(3, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_UP)
# Our function on what to do when the button is pressed
def Shutdown(channel):
os.system("poweroff")
# Add our function to execute when the button pressed event happens
GPIO.add_event_detect(3, GPIO.FALLING, callback = Shutdown, bouncetime = 2000)
# Now wait!
while 1:
time.sleep(1)
- Create Autostart Script:
nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh
#!/bin/bash
(
/storage/.config/shutdown_pi.py
)&
- Make files executable
chmod +x shutdown_pi.py chmod +x autostart.sh
- Enable UART for the Status LED:
mount -o remount,rw /flash nano /flash/config.txt enable_uart=1
- Reboot
OSMC
OSMC Shutdown Button
Source: discourse.osmc.tv
- Install Raspberry Pi Tools from CLI:
sudo apt update sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev gcc python3-setuptools sudo pip3 install wheel sudo pip3 install rpi.gpio
- Create shutdown script:
nano /home/osmc/.config/shutdown_pi.py
#!/usr/bin/python3
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import os
import sys
sys.path.append("/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.rpi-tools/lib")
# Use the Broadcom SOC Pin numbers
# Setup the Pin with Internal pullups enabled and PIN in reading mode.
GPIO.setwarnings(False)
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(3, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_UP)
# Our function on what to do when the button is pressed
def Shutdown(channel):
os.system("poweroff")
# Add our function to execute when the button pressed event happens
GPIO.add_event_detect(3, GPIO.FALLING, callback = Shutdown, bouncetime = 2000)
# Now wait!
while 1:
time.sleep(1)
- Make files executable
sudo chmod +x shutdown_pi.py
- Test Script:
./home/osmc/.config/shutdown_pi.py
- Auto Start as a Service
Create systemd service file:
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/shutdownpi.service
[Unit] Description = GPIO shutdown button [Service] Type = idle ExecStart = /home/osmc/.config/shutdown_pi.py [Install] WantedBy = multi-user.target
Enable the service:
sudo systemctl enable shutdownpi
Start the service:
sudo systemctl start shutdownpi
- Enable UART for the Status LED:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt enable_uart=1
- Reboot

- Convert Binary to Hex & grep the file contents:
xxd -u start_x.elf > /tmp/start_x.elf.hex grep '47 *E9 *33 *36 *32 *48' /tmp/start_x.elf.hex 00b9db0: 47E9 4341 4C46 2118 47E9 3336 3248 1D18 G.CALF!.G.362H..
Method 1
- Backup files:
cp /boot/start_x.elf /boot/start_x.elf_backup cp /boot/start_x.elf ~/start_x.elf cd ~ cp start_x.elf start_x.elf_backup
- Convert \x1D\x18 -> \x1D\x1F:
perl -pne 's/\x47\xE9362H\x1D\x18/\x47\xE9362H\x1D\x1F/g' < start_x.elf_backup > start_x.elf diff start_x.elf start_x.elf_backup # This should show binaries are different
- Replace the binary:
mv ~/start_x.elf /boot/start_x.elf reboot
Method 2
- Create script:
nano patch_codec.sh
#!/bin/bash
function do_patch() {
if [ -f "/boot/${1}" ]; then
cp "/boot/${1}" "/boot/${1}_backup"
perl -pne 's/\x47\xE9362H\x'${2}'\x18/\x47\xE9362H\x'${2}'\x1F/g' < "/boot/${1}_backup" > "/boot/${1}"
echo "Patched /boot/${1}..."
fi
}
do_patch start.elf 3C
do_patch start_x.elf 1D
- Execute it:
sudo chmod +x patch_codec.sh sudo ./patch_codec.sh sudo reboot
Check Codecs
for codec in H264 MPG2 WVC1 MPG4 MJPG WMV9; do echo -e "$codec:\t$(vcgencmd codec_enabled $codec)"; done
