RPi3 remains the benchmark for 3D support. RPi4 has more oompf but a different SoC/drivers and many things with a higher priority for development effort than 3D.

It's hacked into meson-gx.dtsi so that all GX devices inherit the same config. See:

HACK: set meson-gx cma pool to 896MB · chewitt/linux@3c771f1 · GitHub

I've reported this to connman devs already .. the Jira is Intel staff only and hardly used. The mailing list is the other place to raise issues.

^ that probably fixes it

Create a user for Kodi, assign rights to the share for that user, and authenticate with that credential, e.g. ^

I forgot how full of irrelevant verbose garbage 3.14 kernel logs are

For comparison purposes put LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-9.80-devel-20200314152345-6c08564-box.img.gz on an SD card, boot and install and then share the logs. You'll need to set dtb=/dtb/meson-gxbb-khadas-play2.dtb in uEnv.ini.

Let's see if we get similar SDIO errors.

what is the current state of 3D MVC capability on RPi4B?

Non existent.

phil2sat see if this works: meson-gxm-mecool-kiii-pro.dtb.txt (rename to .dtb)

Samba (server) in LE settings has nothing to do with the Kodi SMB (client) capabilities. My guess is the Windows box doesn't support SMB2 and needs to have min/max SMB1 set in Kodi service settings. Or you need to check the source configuration in /storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xml.

Track the YouTube plugin thread in the Kodi forums. If there's an issue it's not LE specific.

Not possible. Current RPI4 support is deeply written around Leia and future support is written around Matrix.

Refusing to support RAID (and disk encryption) is about keeping our distro images small and keeping what our all-volunteer team has to provide user support for simple. RAID is not "risky" but there are 20+ flavours of RAID and based on user requestts there isn't one thing we can add, so we end up being asked for many things and many tools and .. we have always tried to avoid "the death of a thousand cuts" where we keep adding little things that cumulatively lead to LE being yet another bloated general purpose Linux distro instead of the focussed and minimal Kodi client distro that we are (and always have been).

There are many distro choices that support Kodi so there's probably another with package management so you can add the RAID and other thingst you are interested in. You also have the option of taking our codebase and modifying it any way you like. That's the fab thing about open-source.

No idea what the problem is, but try using Win32DiskImager or Etcher as alternatives to our USB/SD app. You can also use the new Raspberry Pi SD card writing app.

Can you describe the structure/architecture of your network?

Are you using the HDMI port nearest to the power connector (good idea) or the other one (not such a good idea) ?

If a Library source has content set to none the only scraper that will be used is the default .nfo scraper. This means nothing will be added to the Library views unless you prepared .nfo files that describe all the content. If all you want is a browsable view of the files/folders use the 'Videos' node on the home screen as this simply shows the files/folders.

Prices seem to go up and down. I've got three of them and the most I've paid is USD $23, the cheapest was USD $12 .. from a UAE seller (local to me) advertising on the US site and wondering why nobody was bidding (postage to the US would have been crazy).
