Thanks for info. Is it chance that the Patch will be implementet (somehow) in Libreelec (Your) Distribution ?
If/when there is a patch, I will test it in my branch and then push it to LE. This has been ongoing for several years though so I wouldn't hold breath for a speedy resolution - although more progress/understanding on it has been reached in the last year than the previous 3-4.
HDR to SDR tonemapping is not currently implemented, so nothing to enable. It's something in the to-do list for the future.
If it's not merged upstream, it's not in the Kodi we're using.
LE11 nightlies are the only images that will run on RPi02W hardware (without a lot of jumping through unsupported hoops) .. but you'll likely run into a bug that will stop Kodi from running in the latest nightlies. The issue is known, but needs some dev attention to fix, and the devs in question (from RPi Foundation) are on PTO at the moment. So be patient and wait a week and it should be resolved. NB: RPi02W only has 512MB RAM so while it can/will boot LE11 nightlies we have no plans to formally support it (or any other 512MB devices) as Kodi Matrix/Nexus really need 1GB.
ConnMan has no method for chosing which WLAN card the tether should run on, so you may need to blacklist driver modules to disable the internal card. Once that's done, it should work, as long as the driver for the USB card supports AP modes; most do, but not all <insert usual statement about garbage realtek drivers>.
If you spend $$ on faster SD cards you may be able to empirically measure a minor speed bump and it might boot marginally quicker, but in practical terms you will not notice any real-world difference in performance. Save goes for USB3 SSD drives; they are quicker in certain tests but you're unlikely to notice much difference (and you need to hang the drive out the back of the board, which is ugly).
SSH in and "journalctl | paste" after a clean boot, and share the URL so we can see what's not right. No logs = No problem 
Your AVR may support S/PDIF input at 96KHz, but I'm not sure the box will support S/PDIF output over 44.1KHz.
twilightened thread hijacking? .. and it's known, and will be solved once devs resume work in Jan, prob.
I'm user of ODROID C2 - but it don't start my USBs Disk . The ports are quite 'dead' . The hdds dont event power ON.
It's a long-time known issue with the upstream kernel, see this thread: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg214709.html - there is more follow-up since, but I can't seem to find the latest/follow-on thread at the moment.
EDIT: here it is: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linu…ber/011098.html
If the current (hopefully temporary) issue with hardware decode is resolved I would like to resume releases for LE11 - there are still some bits missing but particularly with older GXBB/GXL/GXM hardware (which has less features to miss) it's more than usable.
I haven't seen much progress with internal DVB driver support. Availink are still tinkering with their demod driver, but most tuner drivers are out-of-tree and horrific code which will be a drag on attempts to upstream anything, and I'm not aware of anyone thinking about the missing V4L2 demux driver.
CE + TVH can work, and the IR situation is easily solved with some tape over the problem IR sensor once setup has been done. If not that, I'd go with the USB Hauppage route; their cards have well maintained upstream drivers so are low-drama.
If the module is already built and part of the LE image then the mostly likely issue is the device-tree file not containing any references to WiFi hardware; thus the chip is not probed-for and the driver not loaded. Running insmod won't do anything.
Kodi calls the kernel DRM APIs to perform modeset, so Kodi itself doesn't change the mode, the kenel does; it's an abstracted process.
You cannot switch resolutions like you can with xrandr (which doesn't work as we don't use X11) but you can force the intitial resolution used for boot by adding "video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60" to kernel boot params. On a Raspberry Pi this is in cmdline.txt in the root folder of the SD card. From SSH this is /flash/cmdline.txt but you will need to remount /flash in rw mode first to edit the file.
It helps. You'll find that our documentation on the build-system is rather light, which is a little deliberate. Our observation over the years is that the people who succeed at custom images and things built on our codebase generally look at the huge pile of prior-art the build-system represents and just get on with it. You'll find "git grep" is helpful for tracing variables and packages.
An older example of minimal config https://github.com/chewitt/LibreE…93ae1a9d2ff85e8
NB: Current record for a minimal image is 35MB for a functional Kodi + TVHeadend + screensaver image for WeTek Play 2 (also S905 like C2) but that required junking the entirety of systemd for a more minimal LinuxFromScratch and init based approach.
Add "video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60" to kernel boot params and reboot, it should force the defaults to 1080p@60.
Can I ask, what exactly are you going to try and build?
You guess incorrectly. LE uses libudfread, which is linked with libbluray.
