Nice. I'll add the module change to the next kernel defconfig bump that I push.

There are no errors from the IPTV add-ons repo. So as told already in the other thread: If it reports no add-ons, you need to discuss that with the people who created that repo (which is not LE and not Team Kodi, so not our problem to solve).

would those files be located somewhere else by any chance that I can download?

You can probably find ssv driver garbage in the CE repo. It's not on any of our file shares.

It works here

The issue with BIOS selection is both drives are permanently connected so you have to enter the BIOS boot menu to switch, whereas with a removable SD card device it can be preferred over the HDD only when connected. The SSD will give a decent I/O performance advantage unless it's a rubbish one. So really you need to configure a bootloader capable of working with both OS.

Where should I open the PR? Here, I assume?

Correct.

what is the next upgrade I can do? I want to install Xenon

Some other distro, please.

The project does not support dual-boot configurations; it's always a complete pain in the rear to setup and future Windows updates are likely to break whatever fragile arrangement you come up with. There are some threads in the forum which describe the seqence of fiddling that worked for some other users if you search for them, but I wouldn't expect too much sympathy or help from staff, as we're all volunteers giving up free time and we prefer fun stuff on Linux not purgatory on Windows

The non-working file plays fine here, but RPi5 doesn't support H264 H/W decode and ffmpeg is software decoding the file. Please retest with a current LE12 nightly and run "pastekodi" and share the URL.

Was the drive formatted (anything would be good) before trying to install?

Perhaps try booting from an Ubuntu USB and use 'dd' to directly write the LE image to the 1TB drive, then interrupt boot and type "run" to run from USB (or in your case HDD) instead of starting the installer.

Honestly no idea, the best place to ask would be the Kodi forum support thread: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=193014

I don't think it's possible (without extending Kodi to track tasks and generate responses on status requests) but the better/best place to ask the Q is the Kodi forum where Kodi devs might have other ideas; it's not something specific to LibreELEC.

It looks like Amlogic (and RPi 0/1) are the only kernels we ship that don't have VXLAN support enabled. That can be changed.

If you can share samples and share debug logs that demonstrate the problem we can investigate. No promises on fixes.

You need to ask the question to the operators of the IPTV add-on repo, it is nothing to do with LE or Team Kodi.

u-boot.bin.sd.bin

This is u-boot.bin.sd.bin (u-boot for SD card boot) built from WeTek WP2 sources. It needs to be written to the SD card using the following recipe: https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…r/mkimage#L8-L9

mount -o remount,rw /flash
echo "# disable wifi" >> /flash/config.txt
echo "dtoverlay=disable-wifi" >> /flash/config.txt
mount -o remount,ro /flash
reboot

There are several options, but that ^ will disable the onboard WiFi in device-tree allowing the USB external dongle to appear as wlan0 instead of wlan1. The RTL8812AU should work out of box, but like all downstream Realtek drivers, there's no guarantee.

The UART output at least confirms the box finds nothing to boot, which is a much better starting point for recovery activities than when u-boot is broken/half-working. And the upstream u-boot binaries in my testing share have no knowledge of boot files like kernel.img and dtb.img so it won't find and use them. However I'm wondering what happens if you simply rename stuff to files that it does know about?

For kicks, create an SD card from the LE12 image for WP2 in my testing share and delete everything except the extlinux/extlinux.conf folder/file. Then copy kernel.img file from the 9.2.8 image (rename to KERNEL) and the SYSTEM file (leave as-is) and then dtb.img (rename to meson-gxbb-wetek-play2.dtb) and see what happens when it tries to boot (share the UART output and/or dmesg should it make it that far). I'll be surprised if it works, but you have nothing to loose.
