Thank you! There's a thread in Kodi forums about the issue and it was Kodi music library problem, that they had changed the library criteria to now include 'Rating' and 'My Rating', where the previous 'Rating' was transferred under 'My Rating' in order to break up the smart lists and not to recognize user given ratings like in Jarvis. Easy workaround (if one doesn't have too many smart playlists to fix) is just to edit each smart list and replace 'Rating' with 'My Rating', problem solved.

Thank you chewitt, will do that! Keep up the good work, hope they fix the Krypton.

I tried the same with smart playlists on Windows PC Kodi for a test and with exactly the same result. Seems that the empty smart playlists are a Kodi Krypton issue. For me Kodi Krypton seems so broken, that I'll wait a year or two until even the smallest of glitches are fixed. And if that should not happen, I'll remain with Jarvis until it stops working altogether. So pissed that people should make new development without of thinking continuity and breaking the old (which sometimes is of course mandatory, but it's not an obligation for development to shatter things down without replacing the torn with working alternative).

Anybody else to confirm this behavior? Or am I the only person on planet (or this forum) who bothers listening music files on Kodi?

Playback volume in 8.0.1 compared to 7.0.3 is very low, much lower than it used to be.

Click here for my recent, previous log attachment - very little has changed since then, if anything.

My second roll back to 7.0.3 is getting closer, as Krypton seems such a soddy job, starting from messy Etuary user interface. Yes, blaming Kodi Krypton more than LE, but LE is adopting to Krypton, so it's none better. Luckily Confluence still works and gives most of the control over Kodi's fearures, like it did in Jarvis. Looks that from Jarvis we are witnessing more regress than progress, too many changes for worse lately. Truly sorry to say this.

Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3
OS: LibreElec 8.0.1

I tried this with fresh LE 8.0.1 installation on Rpi3, scanned external HDD folders with music files to Kodi library. Created a smartplaylist with criteria 'rating:3' & 'greater than', 'limit to 10', 'order:random', just like I used to do on 7.0.3 LibreElec with success. Opened the newly created smartplaylist, but the playlist returns empty, against all odds and always. I tried similar previously with an updated 8.0.1 over 7.0.3 with the same results, nothing on music smartplaylists, not a single song, whether it was an old list from 7.0.3 installation that worked before, or a newly created under 8.0.1. Everything else in the music library looks ok, like it did in 7.0.3, manual .m3u's, automated top100 and party playlists work without problems, it's just the smartplaylists, which for me at least are the most important of all to listen fairly large music library without too much repetition of the same songs, artists or albums. Can't live without smartplaylists, they have been my lifeline since starting to listen music from digital audio files.

Simply put, music smartplaylists haven't shown a sign of working under 8.0.1, like they very well did under 7.0.3.

Attached is the most recent log-files zip (without Network part, because it seems to contain too much sensitive information of network location and shouldn't affect the music library diagnosis, since the music files are located under folders on an external USB HD).
