You should read official OpenELEC docs first. Filesystem is mostly read only. You can install thin ...

Something you could do there, is to get OpenELEC, to add a terminal program, or write one and try to get it accepted as an app. This wouldn't / shouldn't, be too far out of line, since there are console only apps, already in several repositories (but, probibly 3rd party) that we can't run, because there's no "root" access available. It make you wonder why their available, because, some could be useful.

For that you have SSH or serial console. Granted, I don't know any in-Kodi plugin which would allow something like that, but I think it is not really necessary, because SSH is easy to use and it is more powerful as plugin would be. I much rather like to spend time on kernel hacking, but I'm currently busy in private life, so HDMI EDID support is only half implemented.

The new Local Code Enforcement girl, has my neighborhood cleaning up, to shame the one family of anarchist renters, that won't clean up their act. It's had me outside more than I really care to be, for simple mold & mildew removal & maybe a little painting, all of which wasn't really needed at this time. Had no time to play, except late evening, when I'm already too tired, to make much sense of things.

Jernej, can you look at 3D issue? You don't need any 3D equipment to reproduce issue. Just enable 3d mode, play any movie (no actual 3d movie needed), then go to video settings osd, choose swap eyes option and see what happens - green rectangles on screen...

Sorry, I don't have much time for this project currently. When I have, I'm working on auto resolution detection (HDMI EDID).

I don't have it so I didn't prepare the image for it. From what I can tell from pictures, the only difference between Plus and Plus 2 is RAM and eMMC size. This means that the Plus image should work just fine. Please test.

thank you for such a good os. I also have armbian in another sd card. is it possible to get kodi with its accelerated hw from this openelec to run in armbian? run its binary or build from its sources?

It's possible, but I don't know how much work such task takes. Binary can't be used as is, because it is not compiled for X11. You can try to compile it together with my patches, but I can't say if it will work as expected.
