Question: Why do you expect Linux 4.4 vendor-kernel device tree content to work on upstream?

Question: How is this relevant to LibreELEC?

Use doubling and 1080 @ 60/59.94/50/24/23.976 modes (GUI may show 23.976 as 23.98)

Is the 25Hz material interlaced? If yes, you need to configure "refresh rate doubling" and 1080@60/59.94/50 modes and ensure 25/29.97/30Hz modes are NOT enabled.

Quote from LybsterKodi

Knowing how long this would take over my 100MB LAN..

^ Netgear 8-port Gigabit switches are £20 on Amazon. Switch from USB drives and Sneakernet to Ethernet and an SFTP client app (Windows to HTPC) that queues files and transfers them in the background while you're doing something more interesting.

LE is simply packaging Kodi into a distro. How Kodi handles add-on upgrades (for good or bad) is entirely a Kodi thing.

Kodi Settings > System > Display > Whitelist

Select 3840@30/25/24 and 1080@60/59.94/50/24/23.976 and enable "Allow double refresh rates" and leave the GUI resolution at 1080@60

It's a known issue. I rather lack the code knowledge to investigate and there's basically nobody else who cares for older Amlogic hardware around here so I wouldn't want to raise hopes of it being resolved

When it fails you're dumped to the initramfs console. This is rather limited in capabilities, but you should be able to connect a USB keyboard and attempt manual mount of the BTRFS volume. I'd expect this to fail, but it might output some useful error messages?

Run "pastekodi" over SSH and share the URL, else there is nothing to investigate

If you turn it on, the kernel knows it's an SSD device and trim is enabled.

The answer will always be subjective to the hardware. With the right hardware and software configuration you can run LE in 512MB RAM, but most users want to include some add-ons and the sensible minimum for LE11 is 1GB RAM. We deliberately no-longer support any device with less than 1GB. The only device we ever supported with less than 512MB was the original AppleTV box (256MB) and that was basically unusable from LE 7.x onwards.

I used to regularly swear at removable drives and USB sticks. Then I bought a Synology NAS device and a decent Gigabit Ethernet switch .. and stopped swearing. I appreciate that's not a helpful answer in the context of solving the issue reported, but sometimes it's better to remove the opportunity for problems instead of seeking fixes for problems. It's also not the cheap option; but at some point you need to factor in time and effort and I prefer to watch movies than Google fixes.

The resolution for most mysterious CEC issues is "disconnect and power everything off.. connect and power it all back on again"

Media from TVH is not going through the widevine (software) decryption path so will be hardware decoded. DRM encoded content requires software decoding regardless of format and RPi2/3 will struggle with 1080p media unless (as posted above) overclocking is used. The other option is to configure inputstream.adaptive to select 720p not 1080p to keep within CPU capabilities.

ping!

Forum logs show no emails being sent for your user, but we can see them being sent for others. For the sake of testing .. I edited your email to remove the + sign. Let's see if that results in something being sent?

The other end denied access, so check its logs to see why.

The box ran out of disk space and needs checking. It will probably get done over the weekend when someone has time.
