That list is very useful, and it will probably save me time later.
I'll have a look at DB Browser. I currently use sqliteman if all I need is a simple bit of sql or a quick hand edit. When it gets complex (eg accessing a database in a different format or DOS files) I move over to Delphi and use ASGSQLite3 components to access the database

Unfortunately, in my use case, I will be changing the paths. Looks like I'll have to write a bit of code. Fortunately shouldn't be to difficult.
Its actually saved in settings but it doesn't look as though its exported to the .nfo files
For me its just that some videos have audio/video sync problems and some don't. Altering AudioDelay for those that have problems fixes it (generally 125ms)
Is this stored anywhere in the .nfo file? I can't find a reference to it in the on-line help. I'm asking because I'd hate to export the database, transfer file to a new disk, reload everything and loose the adjustments I've made to audiodelay.

I've asked on the Kodi forum but no answer apart from jepsizofye translating my question to
On Kodi 18 I have been setting audio delay specific to different library items and I want to export all that information with my library so I can transfer it to another Kodi installation.
Is this possible?
If it isn't possible I can write code to manipulate the settings table but I'd prefer not to. I've had a good hunt round the web but haven't managed to find much apart from a very similar question asked a good few years back which also received no answer.
Job done - Macrium Reflect free edition to do the cloning, couldn't get anything to resize the partitions using Windows (7, 10, 11) and MiniTool or Aomei so bunged the card in mi ultraportable Linux Mint machine and everything working, nothing lost.
If you probably already use a PC to clone the card, why don't use a partition tool to resize the partition on the new card?
I did think of that, and will be trying it, but I don't know if it will work and remember someone saying about clone and touching some file.
Creating /storage/.please_resize_me will result in the current partition being removed and a new one being created on the next boot.
I'm happy with that - I can copy the stuff recorded before doing it.
I've decided to upgrade the 64GD micro SD card in the RPi3 I use for TVHeadend to a 128GB card. I know I can clone from a smaller to a larger card but there's something about touching a file to tell the Pi on the next boot that it should expand to fill the space.
My questions are a) which file and b) how do you touch a file?
Thanks - I'll download and have a look, however, at 71, I'll probably live long enough to learn how to read it, I'm not sure the same can be said of liking it.
Thanks
From above
"I've made sure wait for network is enabled and increased it to 30 seconds"
If I have trouble I'll try upping from 30 to 120
It made sense to me 
Essentially it was the fact that there are loads of options throughout the system and I have tried to read wikis (not just Kodi's) with a marked lack of success.
Unless I mistook something the pdf export is one "page" at a time - so I'd have to follow the links around and manage (hopefully) to collate in meaningful order. I would not rate my chances of success particularly high.
I did a clean install from the nightly and things seem to be working. I haven't yet reinstalled TVHeadend since I only have the one tuner device and its on the RPi3 and I haven't seen the "remote communications server failed to start" message again so I'm suspecting its TVHeadend that's causing it.
Thank you mglae - I can now see it.
I just thought it would be nice for antiques such as myself to have it in a book form. I'm used to reading sequentially not jumping around so I had a quick look and found
Is the Print/Export feature enabled somewhere?
I've just reinstalled LibreElec from the nightlies and wanted to install my slightly modified skin. I used SAMBA to copy the zip from my PC to the RPi4 userdata folder. Unfortunately, on the RPi4 I cannot find userdata. I eventually dropped the zip into the backup folder but I'd like to know how to access userdata.
ps Love the rats nest picture for forum maintenance - behind my TV looks similar.
I'm not sure what has caused it but now I can't ping the RPi4 at all. I tried plugging one of my laptops into the same powerline adaptor. Just unplugged the Pi and plugged the laptop in so using same cable, plug socket etc and it was fine.
Rebooted the router and nothing.
I'm going to try an install of the latest nightly.
Was afraid of such an answer :-). Have to test is myself later.
I'm glad its just not myself
After reading this again: looks like using CAT5 cables or less for gigabit connection. At least CAT5e cables are required.
Way back I thought that was the problem. I bought a Cat6 cable - no better. BUT without the TV plugged in the connection worked at both 100MB and 1GB - no lost pings. As soon as I included the TV I started to loose pings so I've concluded that whatever the cause since everything works properly at 100MB that's what they will all do. I think I've only got 1 device (the RPi4) other than the BT adaptors that will run over 100MB anyway.
may consider an UDEV rule
I do not speak fluent Linux, but I'm learning slowly, so can you please explain. I googled UDEV and the answers I found were far to techie.
Better use ethtool -s eth0 advertise 0x008
OK I'll give it a go
One minor problem - doesn't seem to cause any harm but now when I turn the Pi on I get
remote communications server failed to start
I've made sure wait for network is enabled and increased it to 30 seconds. Any thoughts / suggestions?
Thanks - I shall experiment later on today.
Its later on, and I've tested and its looking good. Using the cables supplied with the BT powerline adaptor I tried pinging - about 50% of packets lost. Typed in the magic command "ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" and no packets lost, plugged the TV in to the adaptor ping that and the RPi4 and ..... no packets lost.
Now to add to autostart.sh and figure out how to remind myself to do it again if I have to reinstall.
Is it possible to slow down the ethernet port on the RPi4?
I know it sounds a bit daft but I'm using powerline ethernet and my laptops / desktops have a 100MB port, most of my powerline adaptors are 100MB. My current setup with 2 RPi3s has a 100MB powerline adaptor with a 5 port 10/100 minihub. The RPi3s are about to be replaced with an RPi4 and I want to replace the 100MB adaptor & minihub with a 2 port 1GB adaptor. 1 port for the Pi and 1 port for the TV.
With both TV & RPi4 plugged in the Pi (or possibly adaptor, router or mains wiring) doesn't play well at 1GB, lots of lost packets. So if I can slow the Pi down to the same speed as everything else the network may be good.
I have a 6TB HDD plugged into the Pi so I'm happy with 100MB as network speed for the occasions I need to transfer files.
