About this tag
LibreELEC appears on WindowsForum.com in discussions of lightweight, appliance-style media playback rather than Windows itself. The tagged content centers on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B running LibreELEC 12.2.1 with Kodi and the Jellyfin for Kodi add-on, used as a self-hosted media client.
