I got version 8.0.1 working using the usb method as I couldn't get access via SSH - kept getting an error saying that I was 'refused'. I think this might be because I had previously accessed openelec via SSH and it has the same IP address are libreelec.
The build seems good but I can't seem to get my old addons to work like they used to (e.g. Exodus). Anybody else having this problem?
