A kodi.log might help to translate the uh's and oh's.

1. activate debug logging at GUI
2. reboot
3. reproduce the error
4. login by SSH
5. run pastekodi
6. post the resulting link

What still doesn't work is that the Surroundbar switches on when a signal comes from the Raspi and switches off when the Raspi shuts down.

That's CEC-triggered, so have a look at LE's CEC adapter settings.

Probably the the Google server is occasionally too slow:

Our research says that the HiFiBerry DAC wasn't made for your board. It's not 100% pin compatible. So there is no software implementation, too.

Sorry, then I don't know the target file. Do you have a /flash/overlays file?

PS: Fortunately we have Radxa Zero user among our dev's. He'll have a look...

Add the line dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus to config.txt, reboot and select your new device on LE's audio settings.

Looks like that browser launcher add-on creates Chrome links without the parameters from default.py. Add volume control, and maybe that's the fix for those missing parameters.

Cool, then you can just copy mglae 's default.py to get audio. If you add volume control from my link, it should be perfect.

Maybe this thread can help to activate Chrome audio: Click!

Does that mean you have two Chrome browser add-ons installed? If yes, it should be possible to link to the one with audio.

On a 24/7 box I suggest an automatic HDD spin-down, triggered by autostart.sh.

To spin-down after 5 minutes of inactivity, add this line to /storage/.config/autostart.sh:

hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda2

So the request is basically a script that reads browser bookmarks, and writes them into LE's favorites. Doable, but, as mentioned, not worth the effort due to expired Chrome add-on lifetime. With a new non-X11 browser it would be a different story.

The Chrome browser add-on is only available on x86, so I was a little confused as an RPi user. That add-on is based on CvH 's work, and it's some kind of a quick-n-dirty hack. I don't think a "favorites" link can call that add-on, but not 100% sure.

PS: I gave CvH a ping to have a look at this. Stay tuned...

Do you want to use a chrome bookmark as a link to a different app? That doesn't work. A browser opens a different app to play specific content, but never just an app without content.

I'm using TOSLINK to connect a Panasonic Plasma to the sound system. Can you go that path, too?

I did shut down the drive with "hdparm -Y /dev/sda2" command, heard it turn off and after I ran "reboot" command it immediately turned the drive back on following by the squeaky drive reboot sequence.
am I missing something about how to properly shut down the drive?

I think you did it right. Too sad it didn't worked. That's the only "head parking" option I know - there are no real head parking commands available.

Current theory: The OS is reading the master boot record on reboot. That shouldn't happen on shutdown. Can you please check that (the sound on shutdown)?

To get any meaningful logs or info about the TV or soundbar these hdmi settings need to be removed from config.txt before.

That's another point for a fresh install of LE 10.

dippes If you have another microSD laying around, give it a shot.

PS: Because my suggested changes at config.txt had no effect, you can also try LE 10. It has some bug fixes, and maybe one of those fixes solves your issue.
