I'll confess it's about 4 years since I did a password change, but that sounds rather odd/wrong.

Possible "command-line" workarounds are sending JSON API commands via curl, or enabling the Kodi webserver so you can do things from the Web GUI instead of using a remote. IMHO using a remote control is easiest.

Kodi software decodes media to create thumbs, so when entering views with thousands of movies or episodes (and a clean install) it will start generating them in the background. Once they have been created (or you scraped the library deliberately, which also creates them) the CPU activity will reduce. Our kernel defaults to the "ondemand" CPU governor, so unless there is a bug that affects AMD chips (or all chips) the CPU should ramp up clock as the load increases. Perhaps try a current nightly image (newer kernel = fixed bugs or different bugs).

GUI and CLI both refefence the same password so it doesn't matter how you change it.

Most Amazon devices are using Amlogic G12A chips which have dedicated pre/post processing hardware for such things.

Or unpack the .tar file and simply overwrite the boot files in the first partition which is VFAT and readable on all OS.

As Thoradia is no longer active and his tools/repo do not support current releases, I'm going to close this thread.

S/PDIF supports 2-ch but if you configure pass-through and pack those channels with IEC958 frames correctly you get 5.1 audio.

Current nightlies are K20 and releases are K19. Downgrade to an earlier K20 nightly should be fine. Downgrade to 10.0/K19 will need add-on changes but you probably get away with it. Downgrade to 9.2 will need a clean reinstall.

Have you used a Kodi key mapping add-on?

Any hints how I can enable SPDIF output?
Start by writing the dw-hdmi kernel driver code to support S/PDIF output. Finish by connecting the cable. Add "lots of dev stuff" in the middle

1. Known and cannot currently be changed. Some kind of tonemapping to mute it might be possible in the future.
2. ??
3. Also not possible, but Kodi only switches to HDR during playback .. so just don't play HDR media if you don't want HDR

The flirc receiver is super-sensitive and in my house frequently detects IR bounced off walls when kids point the remote in random directions intead of directly at the box (the main remote I use is BT so they aren't trained to point stuff). I have a collection of old TV remotes which are solidly built and not overlapping with the TV, although these days I use the TV as a dumb panel, there's no terrestrial cable or other box .. Kodi provides all
