have you tried adding the files into Kodi and send to the tv ? No, I haven't. Does it have a range of options for external displays (in this case a Samsung TV)? I've never used Kodi - how does it work?

Hello Mike,
These are the settings for display
Kodi should be full screen automatically on a tv.
Regarding Samsung, my cousin uses a Samsung smart tv, he has Kodi on his mobile phone, he connects the phone to his home wifi, then casts the screen directly to the smart tv, it plays full screen HD movies.

Many thanks for your ideas - I'll give them a try - I did eventually get LL to play videos through my Samsung TV this morning using VLC - I might post a hot-tip on this a bit later...
Thanks again bitsnpcs

Mike.. Which partition are you putting the boot installer?
In the "Something else" its the lower portion of the screen you pick where the bootloader/grub is to go..
I believe it needs to go into a GPT UEFI formatted partition; if I recall a few hundred mb in size... or in the same where windows is located..
I can try to check mine, but it may be a few...
LL4.8 UEFI 64 bit ASUS E402W - AMD E2 (Quad) 1.5Ghz - 4GB - AMD Mullins Radeon R2
LL5.8 UEFI 64 bit Test UEFI Kangaroo (Mobile Desktop) - Atom X5-Z8500 1.44Ghz - 2GB - Intel HD Graphics
LL4.8 64 bit HP 6005- AMD Phenom II X2 - 8GB - AMD/ATI RS880 (HD4200)
LL3.8 32 bit Dell Inspiron Mini - Atom N270 1.6Ghz - 1GB - Intel Mobile 945GSE Express -- Shelved
BACK LL5.8 64 bit Dell Optiplex 160 (Thin) - Atom 230 1.6Ghz - 4GB-SiS 771/671 PCIE VGA - Print Server

I take your point, though in 'Something Else' I had already installed the LL bootloader to /dev/sda2 where the Windows EFI partition was (rather than /dev/sda as used in the Legacy install) - I think this was the correct thing to do? Yes, GPT disk used to allow UEFI/Secure boot install. Though I appear unable to dualboot LL3.2 UEFItestbuild with Win10, I am able to dualboot Linux Mint 18 with Win10 with UEFI/Secure boot enabled.

The only thing I may have done differently is install LL3.2 to another disk (SDCard) vs. the main..
I re-read another post.. you mentioned Code: As I'm installing in CSM mode (Legacy)
; perhaps this?? You shouldn't need Legacy since you're using the UEFI version (although I'd assume it should work)..
You can leave UEFI enabled; Secureboot probably will need disabled to boot from USB (but could try enabled)..

Hi Mike,
Yes, I have heard that Mint 18+ has incorporated rEFInd into their OS and all seems to be well for UEFI dual boots with Windows 10 on mid-dated hardware (not older than P4 and not newer than early I7 I think this means) Not so much for Ubu LTS without rEFInd, but UEFI issues are beginning to be resolved for Linux in general.

From what I've seen, most of the major linux distributions now seem to come with UEFI support (and have done for a while) though Zorin seems to be one of the few that don't. Hopefully, UEFI/Secure Boot support will start being part of the LL4 distribution releases to assist those with newer PCs to dual-boot more easily with Windows OS, but obviously will leave that one up to Jerry to decide.
I always smile when I see your initials - TC. It reminds me of the American cartoon series 'Top Cat' I used to watch on TV many decades ago, which I'm sure you know of...

Maybe I should change them to TOC for tired old cat. Don't feel too Toppish today in the below zero wind chills here. Sitting by the fire.
