    I have a BRIX which uses Intel the addon HDhomerun freezes

    I know. ;)

    You already had issues with the add-on on RPi, so I don't think it will be a fix for you. Here is the quote about Intel API:

    Quote from Kodi 18.2 Release Notes

    VAAPI on Intel has gained some corrections for interlaced content that toggled interlaced flags during playback, and therefore caused stutter by reconfiguring the decoder.

    Are there issues with the stability of 9.0.1?

    Just to reconsider upgrading from 8.2.5 or wait until 9.0.2 or next iteration considered enough stable.

    Depends on your hardware. If you have an RPi like me, you can safely update to 9.0.1. If you have an Intel, at least one issue (video stuttering) will be fixed with 9.0.2, so you better wait for that version.

    That was my thoughts KODI it self has always been solid its the addons which makes it unstable. Been with KODI since the beginning of XBMC had problems with Raspberry but the size of library always showed lack of memory is why I went with a NUC

    Yes, it's sad, you bought new hardware to fix it. :(

    Maybe your library so large that HD HomeRun developers don't test this scenario very well. Hopefully they'll give you hints, how to solve it. Without a debug output of the app, we really can't do anything here.

    I don't see relevant errors at the log file. The freeze sounds like a memory overflow. The RAM of the Gigabyte NUC should be large enough (still expandable by a swap file, if necessary).

    Maybe it's the size of tmpfs. I can't change it on my RPi, but LE on PC is maybe different. Can you post the output of "cat /etc/fstab" please? That's the place to change tmpfs size on a standard Linux. When it's empty, we probably can't change it from there.

    PS: A couple of days ago I guided another user, who installed LE from external to external device. So, I know LE is able to do this on modern PC's, but on most older PC's the BIOS is unable to do this. Take into account that old USB interfaces are usually slow, and an OS at such an interface will run slowly, too.

    I'm using a 350gb hard drive, hooked up on a usb adapter I use to read hard drives and program them for pcs. It reads like a usb drive! But the libreelec creator won't pick it up, no matter how it's formatted 32gb 64gb or full 320 will recheck ntfs or fat only other factors that I can think of! Otherwise I should be able to program the drive and install it straight to the pc and run like a os

    You said you can boot from USB, but it doesn't mean you can install from external to external device.

    It looks like you want to use a modern USB HDD with an old PC. I think that doesn't works, because of the old PC's firmware (BIOS). Find a way to install an HDD internally (maybe use an adapter, if possible). I bet an internal drive will be detected by the LE installer.

    Can you describe what installation image you are using, and what happens when you boot the image from stick? If it's a real installer, there should appear the option to install on your HDD.

    PS: If you don't see any target drives to install, reformat your HDD with a tool like "GParted Live". You can run it from stick, too. It's interesting whether the tool can "see" your HDD while running from stick.

    The result should be a single, error-free partition (ext3 for example) with no boot flag set. Try to run the LE installer on that setup.

    So I just swapped it over and it all boots but Libreelec says the CPU is a ARM7 Processor Rev4 (v71) Is that right?

    Will it just see all the new hardware bits and work better?

    The LE image is the same for 3B and 3B+. Hardware differences will be detected on boot sequence. Processor info is wrong, but it doesn't matters (you will have the extra speed, anyway). Your installation is fine.

    I had installed Kodi 18.1 (Linux Kernel 4.19.x) on a thumb drive booted the NUC and it ran the installer I plugged in another 32 gig thumb drive on 3.0 USB to be the main drive it installed with no problem. When finished it asked to remove the original thumb drive with the installer and reboot. Everything works just updating the library is taking days ! And yes never had to do anything special with the Raspberry's to run my Library from my cloud using NFS

    P.S. No crashes but a lot of freezing

    I'm very sure the target USB device is the bottleneck. Try to install it on an internal drive (SSD or M.2).

    Hmmm never done that before ?

    OK, if you never did special router settings for the RPi, then it's probably no router problem.

    OK I setup a Gigabyte NUC Intel Celeron J1900 Mini PCup to 2.42GHz with 4 gigs ram running Kodi 18.1 (Linux Kernel 4.19.x) off a USB 32gig Thumb drive.

    I don't understand this. Do you run LibreELEC? Do you run an OS at "live" mode directly from an USB stick (that is slow for sure)?
