I've been a chicken shit as far as add-ons go. The last time I tried installing some it went south. Then eventually OPENELECT just crashed and wouldn't boot up anymore.
i'm using latest berryboot and its openelec install shows as kodi .cant remember if it showed kodi or xbmc the last time I used it .. but it seems to work great for me on my Gammon pi.

can anyone tell in this video or picture what version of Linux they are using by the taskbar , this is the small screen I bough, I like how it looks like it has more room on the screen ,my taskbar just seems so big and it hides buttons when I have programs or dialog boxes open ,thank for looking

Raspberry Pi's Default Firmware Updated to Linux Kernel 4.0
http://news.softpedia.com/news/raspb...0-485088.shtml
sudo rpi-update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Haven't done this myself as of yet. I'm only just having my morning cup of Java.
this is the config file for the custom version I got from adafruit to use for the small lcd ,there is so much talk of hdmi in it ,this version will not even boot to hdmi ,but I was wondering if there is something I could uncomment to make it boot to hdmi# For more options and information see
# http://www.raspberrypi.org/documenta.../config-txt.md
# Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details
# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
#hdmi_safe=1
# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
#disable_overscan=1
# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16
# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720
# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1
# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1
# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
#hdmi_drive=2
# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
# no display
#config_hdmi_boost=4
# uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode=2
#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800

I just watched the video in the link you posted and she states that you can run the mini screen and a second screen on HDMI at the same time. She mentions scripts etc too. Have a look at the video Jack. It's the last window in the bunch of screen shoots they have posted for that display. I just got up and haven't finished my first cup of Java, I will have a look at that for you just not right now. Once I walk my dog and get a second cup of coffee in me I'll have a good look. Not sure I know what most of those lines of code mean but I take a look. I'm still thinking of getting one of those screens, won't be a for while though.
thanks for looking I watched the video many times ,,,I cant get it to boot to hdmi, either with or with out the pitft plugged in at the same time or alone ,,,its one thing to say it will run hdmi at the same time ,but its another thing to find a, "how to" ,on making it work .. also in the config file it looks like its under clocking the device to 700,and to uncomment to make it 800,,, seems to me the video and there hacked version is out dated ,even though it stated that the adafruit info was added in march this year

Just did the firmware update and the other update. Quit a bit was done, not sure what, but lots of action on the screen during both updates. Didn't do anything for my touch screen issues in KODI though. One thing I noticed is KODI does actually shut down when I click EXIT. I just don't get my screen back. Raspbian is still running in the background, the screen is just blank? I remote desktoped in and was able to then shut down Raspbian.
