LibreELEC

warning

LibreELEC support is in beta. Launching and readers are supported, but requires manual setup.

Zaparoo Core on LibreELEC provides Kodi integration for movies, TV shows, and music. Also works on CoreELEC and other Kodi-based systems.

3. Open the Control page
4. Enable "Allow remote control via HTTP"
5. Set a blank password
6. Enable "Allow remote control from applications on this system"

Adding to Startup

Add to /storage/.config/autostart.sh:

/storage/zaparoo -service start

Readers

All readers are supported.

Launchers

LibreELEC uses Kodi as its primary launcher. All media is played through the Kodi JSON-RPC API.

Local Files

These launchers play files directly from disk in /storage/:

System ID	Folders	Extensions
Video	videos, tvshows	.avi, .mp4, .mkv, .iso, .bdmv, .ifo, .mpeg, .mpg, .mov, .wmv, .flv, .webm, .m4v, .3gp, .ts, .m2ts, .mts, .m3u, .m3u8
MusicTrack	music	.mp3, .flac, .ogg, .m4a, .wav, .wma, .aac, .opus

Library Media

These launchers play media from Kodi's indexed library. They query Kodi's database during media indexing rather than scanning the filesystem.

System ID	Description
Movie	Movies from Kodi library
TVEpisode	Individual TV episodes
TVShow	Entire TV show (plays next unwatched episode)
MusicTrack	Songs from Kodi music library
MusicAlbum	Albums from Kodi music library
MusicArtist	Artists from Kodi music library (plays all songs)

Shell Scripts

Custom shell scripts (.sh files) can be launched directly. Scripts must be added to the allow_file list in config.toml.

[launchers]
allow_file = [
    "^/storage/.*\\.sh$"
]

Restart Zaparoo after modifying the config for changes to take effect.
