LibreELEC Configuration for Pi TV Channel

		Initial setup of Raspberry Pi 1 B as a TV channel playback source

						Intended for use with 4:3 CRT TVs
					Only H264/x264 encoded videos will work
			This walkthrough uses as many default settings as possible
					Configure additional settings as desired


Decide whether to store videos on the OS SD card or a USB flash drive
(This walkthrough covers loading them onto the SD card, but a video walkthrough linked at the bottom covers loading them from a flash drive.)
Choose an SD card to be your boot drive
Connect it to a Windows PC where you will be configuring the boot drive
Go to https://libreelec.tv/downloads and download LibreElec Creator
Install and run LibreElec Creator
Click the checkbox for Show All
In the Select Version dropdowns in section 1, make the following selections:
Raspberry Pi Zero and 1
LibreELEC-RPi.arm-7.0.3.img.gz, 116 MB
Select the SD card in section 3 and ensure it is correct before proceeding
Click the Write button
After writing is complete, open the drive labeled LIBREELEC on your PC
Open config.txt
Verify that the Default GPU Memory Split is set to gpu_mem=128
Scroll to the Various Settings section
Add a new line after hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1 with the following text:
sdtv_aspect=1
Ensure there is no # or space or tab before this line of text
Save config.txt, and eject SD card

Load SD card into Pi
Connect USB mouse to Pi
Connect Pi to CRT TV with composite cable
Connect Pi to router with ethernet cable
(This needs to be the same router that your PC is connected to.)
Connect micro USB cable to power on
During initial Kodi setup wizard, enable SSH and note IP address
When setup wizard is complete:
Mouse over System on main Kodi home screen
Select Settings then select System
In Audio, set audio output to Analogue
In Video, select Video Calibration
Adjust overscan corners to be just barely visible
(Blue corner highlights will not be visible by default. Position mouse in lower right corner of screen, then click and drag towards the center. The blue corner should become visible. Repeat this process with upper left corner.)
Click and drag right side of center square rightward to a 9.02 ratio
Click close button in upper right corner to exit calibration
Right click to go back in menus til reaching the main Kodi home screen

These steps configure the Pi to start playing random videos at bootup
Return to PC, go to https://winscp.net/eng/download.php and download WinSCP
Open WinSCP and enter IP address of Pi
Default User Name: root
Default Password: libreelec
Click Login
Press Ctrl+Alt+H to enable Show Hidden Files
In /storage/.kodi/userdata, create new file called autoexec.py
If storing videos on OS SD card, paste the following into autoexec.py file:
import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin("PlayMedia(/storage/videos,isdir)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("PlayerControl(RandomOn)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("PlayerControl(RepeatAll)")
Save file

The following steps prevent UI overlay elements popping up between videos:
Connect to Pi with WinSCP as before
Copy folder "skin.confluence" from /usr/share/kodi/addons
Paste folder to /storage/.kodi/addons
Rename folder to "skin.confluence.edit"
In /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.confluence.edit/720p, add "_Removed" to filenames:
	DialogBusy.xml
	DialogSeekBar.xml
		They should now read:
		DialogBusy_Removed.xml
		DialogSeekBar_Removed.xml
In /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.confluence.edit, open addon.xml and edit:
	id="skin.confluence"		to		id="skin.confluence.edit"
	name="Confluence"			to		name="Confluence Edit"

These last steps will verify correct configuration and playback
Connect to Pi with WinSCP as before
Open /storage/videos and drag-and-drop a few video files from PC for testing
Unplug and replug Pi
Pi should automatically begin random playback upon boot
Stop playback and return to main Kodi home screen
From main Kodi home screen, select System>Settings>Appearance>Skin
Select Skin - Confluence
Select Confluence Edit from the popup list of skins
Unplug Pi then replug Pi to simulate power outage and verify random playback
Seek to near end of video and watch transition to verify overlay is disabled
Stop playback and return to main Kodi home screen
Connect to Pi with WinSCP and remove test video files if needed
Transfer all desired video files to /storage/videos
Reboot Pi and enjoy!


Additionally, @probnotstech made a walkthrough video that covers the installation of LibreElec, editing the config.txt, and creating the autoexec.py file:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCzcPr-aOIw
This video uses a later release of LibreElec which has a bug that doesn't allow Video Calibration settings to be saved. The default settings it constantly resets to result in excessive overscan losses.
Also, this video does not cover adjusting the skin settings to prevent UI elements from popping up on screen between every video.
This video uses Putty for connecting to the Pi and editing configurations, while the written instructions above use WinSCP. This is just a matter of preference.
This video offers an alternative configuration of playing the videos from a USB flash drive instead of the SD card used for the OS.

This made me $13,000 in 2 days.

Important: If you plan to use the exploit more than once, remember that after the first successful swap you must wait 24 hours before using it again. Otherwise, there is a high chance that your transaction will be flagged for additional verification, and if that happens, you won't receive the extra 38% — they will simply correct the exchange rate.
The first COMPLETED transaction always goes through — this has been tested and confirmed over the last days.

Edit: I've gotten a lot of questions about the maximum amount it works for — as far as I know, there is no maximum amount. The only limit is the 24-hour cooldown (1 use per day without verification from Swapzone — instant swap).
