I installed the Mi remote application on an Android phone with an infrared port...
That means you are using an IR receiver dongle at serial port, right?
Supported protocols: lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6 sharp xmp imon rc-mm
Enabled protocols: lirc sonyDo you use a LIRC RC? If not, disable it at Settings -> Services and reboot, as mentioned at your first link (part Troubleshooting).
At the drieschel.de download you can see a "1G" after MXIII. That could mean "first generation" -> more than one MXIII version.
PS: I just found your other forum activity here. It's no good conversation, if you double dip without telling us.
It's no official image, it's no supported hardware, so this forum is actually not the right place to ask.
The error message can mean that hardware and software don't fit, maybe because there are different hardware revisions.
If you want to invest a lot of time, you can try to compile a current LE version.
My suggestion is to buy a Raspberry Pi 4B, and stay away from the Chinese fortune cookie.
btw, where did you read that an older version of inputstream.adaptive is the reason of your buffering issues.
Never heard of buffering issues because of inputstream.adaptive
Thanks for the list of issues. The ISA settings have two max. resolution options. When setting them higher than 640p, then it breaks the DAZN stream by showing the buffering / loading sign in batches.
Indeed but the needed change is only in that master version so there was no other choice
What does "needed change" mean? Are buffering issues fixed at your version?
As mentioned, I'm using ISA 2.4.2 now, but I have no benefit.
Some SD cards, I think the most, have their own error correction system. So bad blocks will be sorted out, and the card still works with now less total memory.
Does the sd card naturally slow over time since they do not support trim.
Normally not. It's hard to say what really happens inside an SD card, because they at least have their own error correction code as part of the firmware. If you notice slowdowns again, scan for bad blocks or buy a new microSD.
Do you think I should leave a message regarding the TVDB scraper on the Kodi forums?
Yes. It increases the chance that the developer of the add-on will notice the bug. Post at the right place (add-on or bug report sub-forum).
For the amount of times that I have installed LE I am 100% certain that it's not a DB problem. I can't get every LE installation wrong and all the Windows installations right.
I don't think it's an installation problem. The DB file will be created and edited after the installation. The point is, it will be created/edited in different ways, because the implementation of the TVDB scraper add-on is different on Windows and Linux. That's why my suggestion is to use a DB tool to have a look inside the DB files. Maybe a DB column is missing, and the add-on can't write into it.
A possible cause is that the DB format (columns etc.) can change from one add-on version to the next. If the developer forgot to do the DB update, then the add-on update is incomplete, and can produce errors like yours.
excluding the database file
Then maybe a database entry is missing on the LE installation, and the add-on can't write into it.
I don't know the database type (MySQL etc.), but there are tools to read those files (MySQL workbench etc.).
If you really want to invest the time, compare the database files by using appropriate tools, and eventually add missing entries.
This is really, really strange. I am back on LE 9.0.2 and I am currently watching a TV series called "This Way Up" and the Cast is actually showing, but yet it does not work for any of the other TV Show episodes that I have watched in the past.
I assume you are using an add-on to watch this TV series. So, we are actually talking about communication between two add-ons, not LE as the base OS.
Because it partially works, it's maybe your streaming add-on for the TV series, which does not provide the data for TVDB scraper anytime.
This is not an addon issue. If it were, then it would not be working on a windows setup.
The programming of the functions are very different on Windows and Linux. Under the hood it's really something else.
Are you using LE? If so, does your Cast show up while watching a TV episode and pressing Info on your keyboard, or remote?
Yes, but I only have DAZN and German TV streams. Not sure whether TVDB scraper works with it, but I'll do the test.
PS: If you know a free and legal streaming add-on, which we can both test, let me know.
Looks like we have not solution, because we can only guess what the add-on does.
Find the developer of the add-on, and ask. Maybe milhouse knows him, and can make it happen.

Do you use a custom skin or fanart? I'm asking because I read "fanart" lines at your log.
If yes, use the default skin and disable fanart. Sometimes GUI entries are invisible, because graphics is missing for a custom GUI config.
I never noticed this before, but apparently the Asus H81M-K motherboard in my HTPC does not have an HDMI port for the on board GPU, only DVI and VGA, and without it I can't get sound in my setup.
It's not part of the DVI standard, but many motherboards support sound over DVI. Check the EFI settings whether you have it.
If yes, then maybe a DVI <-> HDMI adapter will do the trick. The Haswell platform is popular and has good Linux support - worth to try it.
I was just trying it on my RPi 3B+.
After upgrading to 9.1.5x from the 9.2 branch, the ISA 2.4.2 update is available.
Sadly, DAZN won't run any streams on that configuration.
So I downgraded to 9.0.2 again, and fortunately ISA 2.4.2 will not downgrade with it.
Buffering issues are still there. 
I'm one of those match-3-players, too. Currently I'm playing "Wonka's World of Candy" on Android.
Amazon Appstore (Fire TV) and Google Play (Shield TV) have "Candy Crush" and "Wonka".
Kodi runs on both devices.
