All ,
I bought the latest Vero V and and I have an Odroid N2 running Corelec before,
How I get the visualizations running on the latest OSMC?

Hi,

Have you checked it isnā€™t already installed? Several addons are installed by default and just need to be enabled.

This isnā€™t a good idea, thatā€™s a core package of osmc. It would probably be good to post some logs, so can cake the system state.

Regards Tom.

You donā€™t need to install binary add-ons on OSMC
They are already available under Add-ons.

This is a bit different to Libre/CoreELEC where they have to be installed manually.
We choose this approach to benefit users that may not necessarily have an internet connection.

where are they?
I looked for them and I do not see them
How you enable them?

It failed anyhowā€¦

I feel like it would be better to put corelec on the box - there are things they do not work if I do that.

All looks good with the Linux system else I would get errors

This may impact your ability to update in the future and you may need to reinstall OSMC. These packages are not meant to be removed.
