XBMC,,, Really? After 5 years?
It is very strange... that was a cross post from 2014 which he said was resolved in version 13
Why not use Discourse? It's free and open source. It can auto-resize images by default.
Resize images after uploading - feature - Discourse Meta
And if that is not enough you can write your own plug-ins.

1. If an image attachment exceeds 1 megabyte, the upload fails with an unhelpful message:
"An unknown error occurred during the upload"
2. In the message composition area, the forum incorrectly states:
"Maximum File Size: 2 MB"
-- the upload failed at 1.1 MB (or precisely 1,169,522 bytes)
Kodi has started offering updates which do not exist in any installed repo. Removing the add-on and reinstalling it does not resolve the issue. I have previously encountered this on Kodi 17, and it still happens on Kodi 18 release candidates. I do not understand the mechanism which Kodi uses to build the 'Available Updates' list, but it seems like some kind of sanity check is needed here to verify that updates are actually available in some installed repo before offering them to the user.
1. Until this bug is fixed, can someone explain how to manually purge the update catalogue and force it to refresh ?
2. Why does it say "Repository: Unknown" for practically every add-on? Is this a bug, or an incomplete feature that is still in development ?
I am running LibreELEC 9.0 (Leia) Beta 2 on RPi. On several occasions it froze or crashed and Kodi started to behave erratically. So I removed the SD card from the Pi and ran a disk check in Gparted. Many orphaned inodes were found and repaired. I thought LibreELEC was supposed to perform a disk check at boot and report any errors, but it does not seem to be working. I cant find anything about this in the wiki. What is the current status of this feature? Is it something I have to manually enable?
Updating this thread with new information
It turns out the issue only affects RPi.* The OMXPlayer component does not support audio resampling, so you must disable OMXPlayer hardware acceleration in System | Player | Videos
When the tempo control key mapping is enabled for variable speed video playback, the audio is muted when the speed does not equal 1.0. The desktop version of Kodi functions correctly. This issue is present on Raspberry Pi when using the YouTube add-on. I dont have other hardware to test and cannot determine if the problem originates in the Kodi videoplayer component or the RPi audio driver.
I can confirm this issue, but I was using 1080p (not CVBS). After upgrade the system now shows a black screen when Kodi launches. A mouse pointer is visible (when mouse is activated) and the mouse cursor responds to moving the air mouse (remote control). But the pointer is constrained to a rectangle which covers about 2/3 of the screen at 1080p.
In addition, the boot logo "just enough OS for kodi" is no longer centered on screen, it is in the upper left quadrant. Apparently the wrong display mode is being chosen at boot, and for this reason the contents of the primary video buffer cannot be rendered on screen.

Here is another option ; you can install Kodi on Android and use the Google Assistant in Android

I am updating this thread to document another symptom of the same bug:
The YouTube playback speed control works on the desktop PC, but the same remote and keymap file does not work in YouTube on LibreELEC.

By Livestream I meant the company but it gets lost in the Google search noise
There is a Livestream Kodi app in the official repo. I think it will only play a video stream, not broadcast.

Not at this time, so far as I know.
That would be too user friendly.
Is there a good USB webcam app on LE/Kodi?
There is a webcam app which should run on the same hardware as LibreELEC. It's made by some developers who used to work on Skype. The source is here for anyone who wants to build it.

QuoteHow about livestream on Kodi etc?
Did you mean play a livestream, or broadcast a live stream ?
QuoteCould an Alexa/Google Assistant app be built on LE ?
Yes but there does not seem to be a huge demand for it. There are existing features which desperately need improvement, and many people dont care for the security flaws or privacy implications of those services. You also need a microphone array for best performance, so if you want this feature you should probably buy the official hardware. That said, Mozilla is developing an open alternative to Alexa which runs on the same hardware as LibreELEC, and voice interaction will be supported. I've been told that Mozilla plans to release license-free speech recognition and $ynthesis* tools, so its possible that LibreELEC may use these components at some point.

It's humorously ironic that you caught the harmless stuff, but missed the dangerous link here in the same thread:
[SOLVED] Crashes with new Raspberry 3B+
Specifically: the Mobdro add-on referenced above is hosted on the "Kodil" repository (formerly Kodi Israel) ...which is possibly the most dangerous Kodi repo in existence, known for breaking Kodi installations and hosting malware, it also bumps the version number and hijacks updates for many popular add-ons, including some official add-ons like:
Artwork downloader
Favourites script
Super Favourites
Also notice how Kodi Israel places itself as the first item in your repo list, hoping you will use that instead of the developers official repos.
