Can you explain what to do actually? I'm very confused lately.

jre package:

PKG_NAME="jre"
PKG_VERSION="8u192"
PKG_VERSION_BUILD="b12"
PKG_SHA256="ac292ff5d70c9a89b33da544e9da3c2308e3de249e872337f34d52f19f7dcea3"
PKG_ARCH="any"
PKG_LICENSE="probably"
PKG_SITE="???"
PKG_URL="https://download.java.net/java/jdk8u192/archive/b04/binaries/jre-8u192-ea-bin-b04-linux-x64-01_aug_2018.tar.gz"
PKG_SOURCE_DIR="${PKG_NAME}1.8.0_${PKG_VERSION##*u}"
PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET=""
PKG_SECTION="program"
PKG_SHORTDESC="Java SE Runtime Environment 8 ..."
PKG_LONGDESC="$PKG_SHORTDESC"
PKG_TOOLCHAIN="manual"

PKG_IS_ADDON="yes"
PKG_ADDON_NAME="Java Runtime Environment"
PKG_ADDON_TYPE="xbmc.python.script"

It is fine now with this package.mk

# it is openjdk !
PKG_NAME="jdk"
PKG_VERSION="1.8.0_192"
PKG_VERSION_BUILD="8u192"
PKG_SHA256="94e04b6fe0b38157eaea6a595bd6c667f058e8e926510ef2b7929164b77c88d3"
PKG_ARCH="any"
PKG_LICENSE="probably"
PKG_SITE="???"
PKG_URL="https://download.java.net/java/jdk8u192/archive/b04/binaries/jdk-8u192-ea-bin-b04-linux-x64-01_aug_2018.tar.gz"
PKG_SOURCE_DIR="${PKG_NAME}${PKG_VERSION}"
PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET=""
PKG_SECTION="lang"
PKG_SHORTDESC="Java SE Development Kit 8 ..."
PKG_LONGDESC="$PKG_SHORTDESC"
PKG_TOOLCHAIN="manual"

jre should also be updated.

Using openjdk jdk8u192 worked to build libblueray. I assume it would also run. But I have no intention to test.

jdk-8u192-ea-bin-b04-linux-x64-01_aug_2018.tar.gz

I quickly tried to build libblueray with openjdk but seems there is some issue.

[javac] error: Source option 5 is no longer supported. Use 6 or later.
[javac] error: Target option 1.5 is no longer supported. Use 1.6 or later.

No idea what it means.

Or to disable starting kodi on boot

systemctl mask kodi.service

or enable it back

systemctl unmask kodi.service

Seems it has some issues. For me (Europe) it works at one point but failed to connect after some time. And then story continues.

Using a playlist works: Create playlist in python an play it?

But it must be called from within Kodi as addon. Or autoexec.py.

Adding extra info like Plot with

listitem.setInfo(type="Video", infoLabels={'title': 'title', 'year': 'year', 'type': 'movie', 'plotoutline': 'plot_outline', 'plot': 'plot', 'mpaa': 'mpaa'})

Make a playlist and play that. You need to decide based on your requirements.

Why not using Kodi and json for example:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "id": 1, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.Open", "params": {"item": { "file": "/storage/downloads/walking.in.the.sun.mp3" } } }' http://127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc

How do I make a USB stick bootable?

You write disk image to USB stick with a dedicated program.

You are using LibreELEC v8 which doesn't have this functionality. That's why you need to run it from autostart.sh or make appropriate service.

Maybe you should tell us which image are you using? Maybe this functionality is not even in your build.

I'm using 32GB sd cards and didn't have such problems.

To eliminate app error one other option is to unpack img.gz file and write it with some other tool. Like Win32DiskImager, Rufus, ...
