    Yes, I also begin to think that there is no concrete solution for the remote in LE.

    But OK booting to Android before power off is only 20 seconds extra, so I can live with it.

    If somebody is having a fix anyway please let me know;)

    Try enabling sleep mode to see if it works for your box. It doesn't work (properly) for all boxes, hence it isn't enabled by default. If it works for you you will basically have the same, as power off from Android is not really a power off either. I have never tried it myself so I can't tell you when the wake-up will fire off exactly. You should be a happy camper if using the remote is one of the ways.

    Is not this a specific build fot KIII Pro?

    Or will this also work with H96 Pro+

    You should really start reading more carefully what people write. It safes others from wasting time on restating things and it reduces problems you might encounter. The post I referred to gives you a clear answer.

    Do I have to toothpick it again the first time?

    And what will happen if I insert my first SD card back again, no bootproblems?

    As far as I know it should just boot to the different SD cards without the need to do anything extra as long as you stick to one SD card/USB stick at a time. You can always perform the toothpick method again if anything does go wrong. Just don't install to internal.

    I begin to think that you can't simply install Jarvis on LibreElec 8.2 , am I right?

    I mean just as you can with Windows or Android.

    The easiest way is just install a complete build.


    That's basically almost literally what I just said and you are just beginning to think it? What does it take to convince you?

    It's a confirmed bug as kszaq has already explained to you. There's not much more to test.

    Try the 8.0 build, that one should have Kodi 17.3. That's the earliest I could find.

    Is there a tutorial to do this.

    Need Putty for up/downgrade Kodi or can you make it right from LibreElec?

    Why would you want this? What is the problem you're trying to solve? It doesn't really make sense to do this. You are better off installing an older LE build if you really need an older version of Kodi or wait for a new build if you really need a newer version. LE is not like a random Linux distribution where you can just install or remove packages. You'd need to recompile the whole platform for one package (version) change.

    Check the wiki for instructions if you really insist on going down this road and discuss issues in a separate forum thread if you get stuck.

    Can we please move all this off-topic stuff to either a new thread or even better: the Kodi forum?

    It has nothing to do with the S912, nor LE for that matter.

    Tethering requires a wireless driver that supports AP modes. Not all drivers support it and it is not possible to reliably pre-detect whether a driver supports it so the option shows in the GUI even if the driver doesn't. If it doesn't work, 99.99% the driver doesn't support it.

    I'm sorry to hear the state of support is that low.

    Is there at least a reliable way to detect that the lack of AP modes support was the cause of tethering failing when trying to activate it? Or is the lack of LE telling when trying to do so already my answer?

    I'm just now starting to use WiFi on this device, having used just a wired connection until now.

    The experience I had so far would be best labelled "unstable" I suppose.

    All in the LE settings section:

    1. The available connections seem to randomly disappear under "Connections". While they randomly come back sometimes, the only 'reliable' method I found was to toggle WiFi off and on again under "Network". When one of the two connections is actually connected it will remain in the list.
    2. Only one of the two connections can actually connect at a given time. Not that you really need two, but it does feel a bit awkward.
    3. When enabling "Tethered" under "Network", both connections disappear under "Connections" and there is no new wireless LE network to be found by other WiFi devices.
    4. Enable "Tethered" under "Network", followed by disabling the "Active" option to disable wireless networks, followed by activating the same setting again and you will have all settings under "Network" listed twice.
    5. Being connected to a wireless network seems to prevent the screensaver from kicking in. It will dim, followed by undimming a few seconds, up to a minute, later again automatically

    What has been your experience?

    I'm especially interested in tethering, if it would allow me to pass the wired internet connection through, to increase my WiFi coverage in the house. Did any of you got this to work?

    I'm on the latest s912 8.1.9 build, but I figured most issues could be related to just the KIII.

    Does preferred audio language setting work in LibreElec for LiveTV?

    If I change audio track to 2nd available track, than it uses 2nd audio track(if available) on all tv channel too. But it's not preferred audio language track.

    If I change it back to 1st track, than it uses 1st track on all tv channels again

    Sounds like a general Kodi issue. You're better off discussing that in the Kodi forum.
