Dual Boot: Rune | OSMC (Pi2, Pi3)

Hi rern
I love the mods you have made to the UI as they really suit the 5 inch display I am using.
I was looking for a way to do exactly what you have done here - Thanks for sharing!

I have a couple of questions if you have the time to answer;

For viewing clarity I must rotate my display 180 degrees. I have managed to do this with the Rune Audio section, including touchscreen so it all works perfectly. However when I open OSMC via the button, left hand corner, the display reverts back to original orientation. I have tried both methods to rotate, using SSH to alter the /boot/config.txt and using the OSMC software. Neither is satisfactory.

Additionally, when the original Noobs boots, the display is not adjusted to the screen - it is too narrow (and upside down). It is like it (Noobs?) needs its own /boot/config.txt

Do you have any suggestions as to how I can get all of the elements rotated by 180 degrees?

Update:
Managed to rotate OSMC 180 degrees using a mixture of editing the boot/config.txt file via SSH and then using the UI to change some settings to resize the display. It is a bit messy, but seems to work. I have read there is no chance of touchscreen with OSMC because it does not use Xorg, which my display requires. I can control it perfectly with a smartphone though.

The boot screen still remains 'upside down' for my orientation, but this is only a brief loading screen.

For information I am using a Pi3 with a Waveshare 5 inch rev.2.1 screen.

Hi Rern,

thank you for this precompiled dual boot.

However, are you fully sure that the Rune version in your package is the latest build?
The credit page show "release version: 0.4 (build: beta-20160313) ", and not the beta-20160321 as it is supposed to be.

I've read that the latest version handle the Raspi internal WiFi problem, and, I've got the WiFi problem (can't view any Wifi spot) with your current package.

So, I was hoping that your package was not bundled with the latest Rune.

Maybe, you can also direct me to a blog post or forum post that explain how to do a NOOBS os package from the original image?

I'm not sure myself. I might have been missing somewhere.

My release was initially inspired by this PeteB post,

I'll post my custom NOOBS how-to soon.

Well, I've just resolved my WiFi configuration problem, my router was on canal 13, and RasPi only support up to canal 11.

Thanks anyway, I'm looking forward your How-to.

Thanks for the great dual boot solution.
Now I am finnaly able to finish my audio/video receiver project, or take it to the next level, at least.

I updated runeaudio that came with your dual boot solution and now I have some problems, it freezes constantly after few seconds or minutes playing. Is there a way to revert to the initial state without touching osmc portion (I have it set up with various options installed)?!
Any help appreciated…

Here is a debug data:

Hi robertinjo,

boot into Rune and before playing go to Menu->MPD and change the audio output device and when back to your Hifiberry.
