# LibreELEC
# LibreELEC - Libre Embedded Linux Entertainment Center
LibreELEC is a 'Just enough OS' Linux distribution for running the award-winning [Kodi](http://kodi.tv) software on popular mediacentre hardware. LibreELEC is a conservative fork of the popular [OpenELEC](http://openelec.tv) project with a stronger focus on pre-release testing and post-release change management. Further information on the project can be found on the [LibreELEC website](https://libreelec.tv).
LibreELEC runs [Kodi](http://kodi.tv), an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media
player and entertainment hub for digital media. For more info see http://kodi.tv .
The base system has been designed and built from the ground up to be as
efficient as possible – consuming only tiny disk and memory footprints and
providing cutting edge hardware support to deliver a set-top box experience.
**Issues & Support**
**Source code**
Please report issues via the [LibreELEC forum: Bug Reports](http://forum.libreelec.tv/forum-35.html). Please ask support questions in the [LibreELEC forum: Help & Support](http://forum.libreelec.tv/forum-3.html) or ask a member of project staff in the #libreelec IRC channel on Freenode.

Contributions towards current project funding goals can be sent via PayPal to donations@libreelec.tv
**License**
* LibreELEC is released under [GPLv2](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html). Please refer to the "licenses" folder and
source code for clarification on upstream licensing.
LibreELEC original code is released under [GPLv2](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html).
**Copyright**
* Since LibreELEC includes code from many up stream projects it includes many
copyright owners. LibreELEC makes NO claim of copyright on any upstream code.
However all LibreELEC authored code is copyright libreelec.tv.
For a complete copyright list checkout the source code to examine the headers.
Unless expressly stated otherwise all code submitted DIRECTLY to the LibreELEC
project (in any form) is licensed under [GPLv2](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html) and the Copyright is donated to
libreelec.tv.
This allows the project to stay manageable in the long term by giving us the
freedom to maintain the code as part of the whole without the management
overhead of preserving contact with every submitter ever e.g. move to GPLv3.
You are absolutely free to retain copyright. To retain copyright simply add a
copyright header to every submitted code page.
If you are submitting code that is not your own work it is the submitters
responsibility to place a header stating the copyright.
**Features**
* System size ~ 90 - 170MB
* Minimal hardware requirements
* Ultra fast boot
* Simple configuration via Kodi itself
* Plug and Play external storage
**Software**
* Kodi HTPC software – View/Manage all your media.
* Samba server – File transfer from any PC client
* SSH server – Remote console access for debugging
* IR/Bluetooth Remote Control
**Notes**
* SSH login details are user: “root” password: “libreelec”.
SSH allows command line access to your libreelec.tv machine for configuration
and file transfer. Linux/Mac clients can natively use SSH, while Windows
users might want to try PuTTY for their terminal access.
* $HOME is mounted on /storage (the second ext4 partition on the drive).
All data transfered to the machine will go here, the rest of the system is
read-only with the exception of /var (containing runtime configuration data).
* Manual update/downgrade procedure is as follows:
Copy the snapshot (.tar) to the 'Update' network share (or /storage/.update) on
your libreelec machine. Your system will automatically upgrade during the
next reboot.
* Automatic mounting of filesystems is supported. Devices such as USB Flash
sticks can be plugged into a running machine and will be mounted to /media,
showing up in Kodi’s GUI.
* Comments and questions are more than welcome, help is even better and patches
are absolutely perfect!!
**Questions/Support**
* Forums on [http://libreelec.tv](http://libreelec.tv)
* IRC chatroom **#libreelec** on Freenode
