OSMC Rasberry Pi - Read only?

[Matsy]

Trying to add http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=82065 to my raspberry pi's xbmc setup.

I've tried OSMC and openelec, you have to copy the files to the skin.confluence folder via SSH

However both of these are read only when connecting and will not let me add the files to the confluence folder...

 

Is there any way around this to make it not read-only?

what user owns the files in the skin.confluence folder? that may be the issue.

How am I supposed to tell that? I'm using WinSCP to open the files.

The only thing that comes up when I try to copy is 

 

Permission Denided

Error code 3

Error message from server; Permission denied

 

Cannot overwrite remote file 

 

As far as I can tell, its because the entire file system is read only.  Google isnt any help.

ssh perhaps?

also, from my experience the best way to put kodi on a pi is just by installing raspbian, and tossing kodi on top of that.

i personally have a pi with retropie on it (which is built on top of raspbian) and have kodi hooked into that.

 

this way at least you know what's going on under the hood, and stuff like this is just a quick fix, rather than trying to figure out what exactly is going on.

Dunno how to use Raspbian, google isnt very good either for it.

I would imagine it would have slower boot times and would only be beneficial if I could go into the skin.confluence via a My Computer type thing same as windows and copy/replace files.

Bump, tested Rasbian, doesnt work cant get into skin.confluence folder.

Anyone have a way to make openelec not-read only?

[Matsy]

Bump again

Atm I have a clean install of openelec on it, yes everything works (the default confluence skin)

Whether or not I go in via SSH with WinSCP or by USB dongle, I still cant make any changes to the folders inside.  Just get permission denied each time.

Right clicking on the file it doesn't show as read-only though.

 

This is the SD-CARD with all files on

This is what happens I go into the SYSTEM.file (this is where everything is located) and I try to copy something to it.

 

The place I need to paste the files is in F:\SYSTEM\usr\share\kodi\addons\skin.confluence, but I just get the above error when trying.

Same thing if I do it over SSH.
