Thanks chewitt.

That's strange, I still had the same problems with the wait for network set to 20 seconds (it continued after just a couple of seconds). Or do you mean another delay somewhere else?

Thanks Klojum.

I didn't use a backup for 8.2.0 as I wanted a fresh install due to the random crashes and reboots - thought it may have been unused addons of changes in config causing problems you see..

Bit like a fresh install of windows and all its apps often helps.

To be honest I would have stuck with version LE 7.x but had to update as the wife uses iplayer and itvplayer addons which were no longer running under that version.

The older LE was a lot more stable for me, random crashes and reboots were few and far between and refresh rate switching worked great. Not anymore and hard to get logs when the system locks up and truncates the logs..

One avenue is that it maybe the tvheadend addon causing a lot of the lock ups. Just means more headaches as then will have to try and find some other tv server which means no longer running on the synology which means another computer 24/7 and costs etc.

Fun and games indeed!

I'll post logs (I assume you mean the one in the menu which goes to paste bin?) which I get home tonight..

Cheers!

I've just gone through hell doing a fresh install of 8.2.0 on my intel boxes.. (ivy bridge gen)

Finally got them up and find I cannot get smooth video playback.

If I set the options to change refresh rate but do not sync to display then it stutters a lot every second or less.

If I then check the sync to playback as well as the change refresh rate then it still stutters a lot and jerks and i also loose the ability to pass through audio such as dd, hd, atmos etc.

Not setting either option it stutters a tiny bit every second or so - this is what is has always has done which is to be expected if frame rate matching isn't done..

Really wish I hadn't wiped and done a fresh install of 8.2.0 now

I was running 7.xx then wiped and did 8.0 then upgrade to 8.02.

I'm sure the options have changed somewhere along the versions - sure it also used to allow dd,dts etc pass through with refresh rate and sync playback to display ticked?

Confused!

Would re-install 8.0 but its taken me 12 straight hours to get 8.2.0 installed and working

Thanks chewitt.

Making headway..

So please try this to duplicate:

Fresh install of a generic x86 box from usb.

goto settings/interface settings/skin/get more - pressing enter nothing happens!!

Go back to main menu

Select addons from the menu

video addons - it will say none installed so right arrow to enter add on browser

choose install from repository

all repositories - it won't do anything

now choose kodi addon repos

the spinner comes up then a list of addons

go back via ..

now choose all repos again BUT NOW they are all there!

now go back to main menu and goto settings and try to download a new skin again - IT NOW WORKS!

this all has same probs with 8.0.2 as well on 2 different intel boxes.

Is the system the image was created from faulty? Not creating all the required directories?

Finally managed a restore - had to restore and reboot twice for it to stick?!

I've uploaded logs to VjGd

A few hours on, still no further

Anyone out there offer any ideas?

Noticed in the usb key install log that during the makefs bit it was giving some block messages?

Does this mean that the ssd in the computer is on its way out, had similar messages during the install on the other computer so is that ssd on the way out too?

Hi,

I've been trying to get the 8.2.0 x64 generic installed on a couple of machines.

First machine wouldn't install properly for an hour and a half then finally worked after another flash the usb image/install cycle.

Thought it must have been some bad flashing of the usb or install to hard disk for the previous 90 minutes.

been trying for a couple of hours to install on a different machine this morning with initially the same usb image then different usb stick and reflashing then multiple install attempts to the machines hard disk.

All have the same problems -

Cannot install addons - E.G try to change the skin by "get more" but instead of a list of downloads nothing happens - just goes back to previous screen.

Same for all addons.

Can't browse shares to my main synology box.

Can't restore a backup - it goes through the motions and reboots but doesn't restore anything.

I CAN see this machine on the network and access it's chares - hence being able to copy over a backup file to it.

I can also browse to other libreelec machines on the network.

It's like the installer isn't working properly.

In the kodi log I see lots of lines like:
