Create file /storage/.kodi/userdata/autoexec.py with content

import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin("ActivateWindow(videos, files, return)")

Or use Accessing LibreELEC [LibreELEC.wiki] to create file in appropriate folder.

Obviously instead of ActivateWindow other actions can be done too.

Yes, with second patch it should work:

2019-10-17 06:56:23.221 T:140245014845184   DEBUG: CurlFile::ParseAndCorrectUrl() adding custom header option 'STBID: 1'
2019-10-17 06:56:23.221 T:140245014845184   DEBUG: CurlFile::ParseAndCorrectUrl() adding custom header option 'SUBID: 1'

You need to replace the patch file. As you can see header names must be lowercase. You can check with grep or open file directly.

grep subid build.LibreELEC-*/kodi-*/xbmc/cores/VideoPlayer/DVDDemuxers/DVDDemuxFFmpeg.cpp

name == "x-correlation-id" || name == "subid" || name == "stbid")

If still doesn't work then I need to test myself with one real URL.

Ah, my mistake (didn't saw your whole message).

Anyway, I read code superficially - the names must be lowercase. This patch will do the work:

Change the patch, clean kodi, make image. Then it will work.

Then try to clean kodi package and build image again. Check with grep for changes in a file.

You see in kodi log file that headers are ignored?

If you add a patch file then buildsystem should rebuild Kodi when making image. You can check if patch was applied by command

grep SUBID build.LibreELEC-*/kodi-*/xbmc/cores/VideoPlayer/DVDDemuxers/DVDDemuxFFmpeg.cpp

You should see

name == "x-correlation-id" || name == "SUBID" || name == "STBID")

If you don't see this try cleaning Kodi package and make image again

PROJECT=... ARCH=... ./scripts/clean kodi
PROJECT=... ARCH=... make image

.

Create patch file packages/mediacenter/kodi/patches/kodi-800-extra-headers-ffmpeg-demux.patch with content

and build image as Compile [LibreELEC.wiki]

It all started here with discussion: Fixed: allow some basic HTTP headers to be passed on to ffmpeg by basrieter · Pull Request #10402 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub

I doubt this feature request would be accepted But who knows. If I were you I would just use one http proxy to insert this headers.

This output comes from dvddemuxffmpeg.cpp#l790

And as you can see from the lines above only some headers are passed. Not sure if you could do what you want without custom build.

Maybe with some HTTP proxy.

You add multiple headers with & in between.

And no, header doesn't need to start with X-.

In your case try

|SUBID=1&STBID=1

At the end of URL try adding custom header like

http://streamer.example.com/live/699/live.m3u8|X-My-Custom-Header=something

You could try this: Disabling the Webcam or USB Ports on Linux - Karl's Code

Writing to unbind/bind could be done with suspend/resume script Creating Suspend and Resume Scripts [LibreELEC.wiki]

You can also try with hdparm to set suspend time.

From what i see some users don't understand that some touchscreens needs to be calibrated? And then they are wondering why it doesn't work or it work only on some area.

First he need to test the touchscreen with evtest program if he get correct (or any) data or not. If touchscreen doesn't work with evtest then he can think of better options.

Are there even addons for S905? I think not. Other links are working.

Make yourself some simple Kodi addon in Python which shows you some buttons/images and when you tap on it it plays file associated with it. Should be simple enough.
