I have the YouTube add-on, too, and LE did the update to 6.5.2 automatically.
The setting mentioned by Klojum is at Settings -> System -> Addons.

But is a Python script able to run a bash script?
Yes, google it.

Can you describe that login process a little more? I'm pushing the power button on my RPi, and that's the whole story.

You could use /storage/.profile to execute commands at ssh login time.

I can feel your pain.

I think it's a lot easier to take a ~1.5mm driller, and physically destroy the LED by drilling in.

Read here about sending commands.

Thanks for the log! Looks like the settings wizard has trouble to start in LE 9.2. Try LE 9.1.002. Update to 9.2 by GUI after the setup.

phob08 :
LE creates a symbolic link (symlink) for every connected (and mountable) external storage medium.
External storage access always has to go over such a symlink.
But that's a problem for JDownloader, it can't access files beyond such a symlink.
The easiest solution for you is not to use an external drive as a destination of JDownloader files. Use internal storage instead.

Thanks for testing a different resolution.
- Use Etcher to write the LE image to microSD card.
- If booting still fails, activate logging. Because you have no access to the GUI settings, use advancedsettings.xml to activate log level 2. Create and edit the file on your PC. After failed booting, grab kodi.log on your PC, upload it to Pastebin and post the link.

Cheap but recent HDMI TV set.
...
Everything works as expected under Rasbian, which I have on a separate SD card, after I added the the hdmi_safe=1 to config.txt.
Maybe Raspbian boot into a lower resolution, and your HDMI cable isn't good enough to deal with the higher resolution of LE.
Enforce a lower resolution for LE by using config.txt. If that works, replace the HDMI cable (use "HDMI High Speed (Premium)" standard).

Sounds pretty much like this.

If I trigger an LED from autostart.sh I know that the autostart-script is loaded. But I also want to know if KODI is loaded.
That's nearly the same time, and as written, Kodi always runs from that point, if you don't explicitly stop that process.
Read here how to trigger a status LED.
PS: Watch the video at the linked thread to see when Kodi and status LED will start working - should be exactly what you need.

I need a libreelec containing Kodi v18.3 on Raspberry Pi 4
Check the Milhouse testbuilts. Maybe you'll find the right Kodi version for your very special needs.
Yes, automatic updates can be prevented by GUI.
-
I'd think if this was a common thing the forum would be full of this problem. Did I get an odd-ball board?
Could be a cable issue, too, especially if it appears randomly.
-
And if possible, I would like to use a LED, like a heardbeat to show whether KODI is running or not.
I'm still puzzling...
Which hardware do you use, and why do you need to know the status of Kodi? Kodi always runs by default.
If you use an RPi, you could trigger an LED from autostart.sh.
I wouldn't do that heartbeat thing, because it will freak people out after some time.
