RPi3B+ and RPi4B can boot from USB devices (no SD card needed). Older models require an SD card for boot. In all cases LE mounts the "disk=" device stated in cmdline.txt so you can prepare a different /storage device and switch over to it by changing the UUID.

Hi, sorry if it's irrelevant but how can I install the 4k hdr image on libreelec 9.2.6 without losing any data (like addons) all my addons are supported on matrix /they support python 3 because I asked their developer) but I don't know how to uptade without losing data (I only know how to uotad eby switching channels in the libreelec settings ) if anyone could help it would be very appreciated, thanks
You will not "lose data" by updating, and if there are Matrix compatible versions of your add-ons in the Kodi repo they will update automatically the first time Matrix runs. Any incompatible add-ons will be disabled automatically to prevent issues.

RAM size makes zero difference to Kodi above 2GB .. the 8GB version is fine and the 1GB version probably isn't (same as 9.2.6).

I wouldn't bother with 4K desktop. Kodi skins are 720p or 1080p so they will be upscaled and the TV normally does a better job of scaling to the native 4K panel resolution than Kodi does, and running at 4K forces everything to work harder. If you like your GUI looking worse and running slower .. feel free to run at 4K.

Yes. As long as the version number keeps increasing all is fine.

Please retest with a current LE 10 nightly to validate the issue still exists. The entire OS has newer everything inside and there will be no more LE 9.2 releases.

The reason for skipping 1080 @ 25/29.97/30 is interlaced content which needs the "double" refresh rates to render (Kodi always outputs progressive) but there is no interlaced broadcast 4K media so you don't need to do the same thing. So whitelist whatver 4K modes are visible.
-
First thing to do is retest with a current LE10 nightly to validate the problem still exists, because basically everything in the OS is updated (including connman) and there will be no more 9.2 releses. FYI, LE does not use the DNS proxy feature in connman.

belaid38 It sounds like the box booted from the SD card then? (install completed). You need to put settings into expert mode and set the PCM audio output to "fixed" with 41KHz bitrate. I haven't figured out why this is required on WP2 yet. It is not needed on GXL and newer devices or an Odroid C2 (also a GXBB device) .. definitely something odd.
-
If you remove all SD cards and USBs and attach the UART cable (which WeTek shipped with the box) you'll see the box fail to boot .. as there is no longer a bootloader. Now if you write the SD card using my wp2 image it should boot (from the SD card) and you'll see UART output. NB: I didn't test the WP2 for a few weeks (as moved back to RPi4 for a bit) but i'm not aware of anyhing that changed enough to break boot.

It's possibly/probably related to the incomplete BT rework in our settings add-on, but can't really say since you expect us to blindly guess things instead of sharing logs.

I will switch to OE 10 once it is stable.
Good luck with that. OE is a dead project since 2017.

You'll need to find someone who knows and cares about Realtek USB wifi devices. That person is not me.
-
Just try other SM1 box devices. NB: there will be no DVB support, and wireless is a lottery unless the boxes have broadcom SDIO modules.
-
LE includes a Samba (SMB) server, which is on by default unless you turned it off during the first-run wizard.
-
It maps to /storage/.kodi/addons .. it's failing to write the zip to disk. Check the /storage partition size?
-
Awfully impossible to do any research on your problems without you sharing system logs that show what the actual errors are. If absence of factual info please Google "bluetooth error linux" and see how you get on

C4 is supported in the upstream kernel (and LE nightlies which are based on my branch) for ages. The builds I publish are more usable than the nightly images though, due to some experimental changes to ffmpeg to improve on H264 seeking that I include.
See: Index of /testing/9.80/ .. write to SD card or emmc module and boot.
