OK, then I can't help anymore, and all you can do is to find the right skin.

Often users are unable to add an entry to the favorites menu, because they don't have the context menu button at the remote control. To map the context menu button to the blue remote control button, add this remote.xml to /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps:

<keymap>
  <global>
    <remote>
      <blue>ContextMenu</blue>
    </remote>
  </global>
</keymap>

After file creation, reboot and try to use the context menu to add menu entries to favorites. You can't add all menu entry types to favorites (this is on my wish list), but maybe it's enough for your needs.

On Estuary skin the Favourites menu was designed to store shortcuts. Using other skins can make trouble, if they are outdated, which is pretty often the case.

nano /storage/.cache/connman/settings and edit the value of SSID. I only found an outdated doc, but maybe it helps: Click!

Loaded with banned addons and porn. You'll get no support with that stuff installed.

Correct - closed.

Can I simply edit whatever file is in the directory, mglae, or do I need to create a new file/etc?

It's part of the cache folder, so don't be shy.

Maybe just:

Code

client = Client("P1") #create new instance
client.connect(broker_address) #connect to broker
client.publish("house/main-light","OFF")#publish

PS: Or you have to start the service before you can use mqtt.Client("P1").

Code

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 3, in <module>
    import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt #import the client1
ImportError: No module named paho.mqtt.client

Importing a Python lib from an add-on is a bit different on LE. Use this import instead:

import sys
sys.path.append('/storage/.kodi/addons/service.mqtt/lib')

Yes, temperature can't be the problem. I'm skeptical that the case will make a big difference. More likely is a WiFi issue, because AAC (see log above) needs higher data rate, which is may not available all the time. If you have chance to switch from WiFi to Ethernet, go for it.

I don't know your old case, but that could be the issue. New shiny metal case -> problem solved?

Quote from racky

Is it possible that the gpio pins generate this problems?

I don't think so, I never heard about such issues.

However, every power consuming device (fan) can become a problem, if your PSU isn't strong enough. My advice is to check the PSU's wattage, because you are using WiFi, which is known to be power consuming. An unstable WiFi connection to your NAS can make the RPi freezing.

You can catch the remotes "Power" button event by using a custom keymap. Link to your MQTT sending script from there.

First decrease the size of the 2nd partition, and then increase the size of the 1st partition.

Correct, I realized it later, see the complete thread. I was confused at first (non-English screenshots).

My guess is that i will make a boot USB with the latest LibreELEC and start over.

Yes.

Then use 780 and ignore the unused disk space. Sometimes not 100% disk can be used. LE should work with this setup.

1) Set "Free space preceding (MiB)" to 782 on sda2.

2) Resize sda1 (+782).

3) Press the green hook button to execute both changes.

PS: Bonus: Set "Free space following (MiB)" to 0 on sda2. So you will not waste any disk space.

Did you pressed that button after shrinking?

Quote from ToddeSwe

How much shall i shrink sda2?

782MiB.
