If the SMB share is active you can use the Kodi file manager to copy the TVH add-on config folder to a location accessible via the SMB share to back-up the data. Then you can nuke the setup and restore the TVH files (using SSH) later.
CTRL+ALT+F3 will not work as we're not using Xorg/X11.
If this is a WP2 box not a WP(1) as previously stated, which LE release is installed?
Also see if you can restore this asoud.state config with alsactl .. rename without the .txt extension (needed else the forum complains of an invalid filetype). I found the contents in the Ardour forum. I am a long way from being a Linux audio expert, but I believe the root issue is that this is not a simple USB audio device and it needs a proper alsa conf to define its inputs/outputs. NB: Kodi only detects audio hardware at startup so if restoring the state file does something you will need to restart Kodi (systemctl restart kodi) for it to see changes.
Can you share the output of "amixer controls | paste" and "amixer contents | paste" ? .. You might need to --help and tweak the commands so they show the output against the USB device instead of the host system audio device.
LE is intentionally appliance-like and not really designed for pre-configuration of services. ConnMan manages the content of the settings file for any specific ethernet/wifi service. This means if you edit the file while ConnMan is running it has no knowledge of your change and it will probably be overwritten when ConnMan updates something (can happen during normal operations or shutdown). The two supported ways for changing connection info are the settings add-on or connmanctl. If you want to do other things and it 'seems' to work, that's fine. But if/when 'seems' is proven wrong .. it's not something we support.
I'm not aware of any upper limits on SD card size for pi boot (might be worth Googling to check) but whatever size is used will be formatted EXT4 and used for /storage so if that's easiest for you it should be fine. I personally avoid buying more expensive larger capacity cards since SD media does die eventually (another reasons for preferring NAS devices) .. but original and better quality cards should last a decent amount of time.
Do you have access to the /storage/.config folder? .. If yes, you could create an autostart.sh script file that runs commands at the start of userspace boot to set/change permissions on the folders.
I'm an advocate for media content in a NAS device (Synology etc.) instead of connecting USB drives to boards, but 69GB isn't so much. If you can splurge on an SSD it will be lighter/cooler/faster/less-power than a mechanical drive.
boot params are on a single continuous line, if you add things on a new line it will not be processed.
Creds are stored in /storage/.cache/connman/<service>/settings .. where <service> is something unique based on the SSID used, etc.
However the file is "managed" by ConnMan so you need to stop the connman service to copy the file over and then restart connman. The challenge will be that when you stop or restart connman you may be disconnected. IMHO it's much easier to just re-enter the passphrase; and if you've chosen one that's long and complicated do it via SSH:
connmanctl
agent on
scan wifi
connect <service>
<enter password>
I reworked my codebase against LE12 earlier today and built an image (the 11.80.0 files in my webshare) .. which continues to work fine with both multi-channel PCM and PT audio. The only explanation that makes sense to me is that there's something off with the EDID data on your HDMI connection.
I have no futher plans to develop/work on the LE11 codebase so this thread has been locked and un-pinned. I hope you enjoyed the ride 
The conversation continues on LE12: Official LE12 Test Images for Amlogic (Kodi-21)
This thread is for discussion of AMLGX (aarch64) development images for LE12 with Kodi 21 (Omega). There are no real-world "Amlogic" enhancements in LE12 over LE11 images so please read the previous disclaimers on what does and does not work in LE11 release announcements and avoid posting "bug reports" on hardware decoders; they are not complete code, there are known issues, and you should expect to find them. As a general rule there is a low pace of development and you should have similarly low expectations of fixes.
Official nightlies: https://test.libreelec.tv/12.0/Amlogic/
Experimental builds: https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/ <= You will receive zero support on these images. They are experimental.
Enjoy 
2023-09-03 11:54:33.398 T:1004 error <general>: SQL: Can't create database for copy: 'MyVideos121' (1007)^ I'd guess the MySQL user has read/write permissions within the current DB but not rights to create/fork a new DB.
If you're using official LE11 images (release or nightlies) please update to https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE….arm-11.0.3.tar and see if that makes a change?
Does anyone know how to do a clip and copy all of the problems with it? The original file is 2GB.
You can use 'dd' for that.
SSH can support certificate authentication instead of password authentication. Once certificates are set-up you can enable the "disable passwords" option. It's one of those IT things where the phrasing is both correct and terrible.
Nothing left out, but we switched from the third-party NTFS-3G driver to the upstream/in-kernel NTFS driver which seems to be a little more excitable at flagging unclean filesystems or similar things. You probably need to connect the drive to a Windows box and run checkdisk to have it mount.
