FYI I ended up using LCD-Show from this repo (not waveshare) because I needed to rotate the screen 180 (which waveshare did not have scripts for) … so this one should work too – note I installed it after waveshare so I didnt install it from scratch: https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show
Also there is a premium option in max2play settings to make JiveLite fullscreen (not windowed).
Hey Rod can you explain how you are trying to update Kodi or why its not working? Are you trying to do it from the default apt-get repository?
I also would like to know that the status of this project is because Debian Buster will be out of Long Term Support soon (June 30th, 2024) and we will need a new build at the point which they should hopefully include the latest (or most compatible) version of Kodi.
Thanks for this, I have been using picoreplayer but recently acquired a generic waveshare 3.5 lcd that was not compatible with the piscreen overlay. It only works with the Waveshare driver. I needed a Debian based distro with similar functionality as picore and Max2Play hit the spot. So far I am really impressed with the web interface and just need to tweak a few more things to make it on par with picore (ex: launch jivelite in full screen or not load the desktop at all).
A few notes/differences that I had to do when following this thread was downloadinging the latest waveshare driver by cloning the git repo: https://github.com/waveshare/LCD-show – the scripts in the linked tar in the original post did not enable the screen
Also had to download the pcp-jivelite_wav35skin.tcz on my pcp first then grab it from its tcz cache directly: /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional (the download link in the post is no longer valid and I could not figure out another way to grab it)
Finally the 99-fbturbo.conf step was very important. jivelite or the desktop gui would not launch until I did that step.
