    I have mine installed on my laptop connected to my 50in tv but its not displaying right .. so you guys created an OS for Kodi that is primarily used to view movies and tv shows but you didn't think to have it detect automatically external tvs connected by HDMI?

    LE is focussed on HTPC devices with a single active video output so there is no need for all the overhead of multi-screen management or auto-detect as you'd find (and need) in a Desktop oriented distro. Laptops can run LE but they are not and never have been (even in OE days) a target device for support. If another distro works better for you than LE, use it, whatever works for you works for us.

    There is no issue with gaming on LibreELEC, it's a supported (within reasonable hardware limits) Kodi feature and quite popular; if a little complicated to setup until you understand the moving parts. LE is using libretro emulators and emphasis is on "retro" which typically means pre-internet gaming so there probably aren't many online multiplayer ROMs around and research for that is probably easier done in gaming oriented forums where users are more familiar with ROM/emultator capabilities.

    We merged a general bump of Kodi PVR add-ons last night, so as long as the upstream maintainer tagged a new release we'll have picked it up and it will be built and pushed to our repo in ~24h. What you should understand is that we build whatever they push/tag .. we have zero involvement in actual maintenance of the add-on, so for news and developments the Kodi forum thread is your source of info, not us.

    ^ some nesting issues fixed. Yes you need %20 for space, but better would be to change the share name to remove the space (spaces in paths are always a bad idea). I would also organise things so that TV, Movies, Music, Concerts are in different folders. Different media types normally require different scraper settings so if you mix them up .. expect weird scraper issues and false matches. Put movies in Title Folders (one folder per Movie) is usually the best approach, and similar with TV shows, one folder per show, doesn't matter if seasons are in subfolders or all in the same folder.

    CEC should be fixed in the latest images on my share (not nightlies) - would be nice to have confirmation.

    The X96-Air and A95XF3-Air device trees are also renamed to use 100/1000 suffixes to indicate 10/100 or Gigabit connectivity on the boxes. I've used 2g/4g before but some Google searching shows RAM size is not a reliable correlation to the PHY specs.

    Odroid HC4 now has a separate image, device-tree is submitted upstream and should be included with Linux 5.12, and I'll work on mainline u-boot support once it's accepted - until then it's using the C4 u-boot sources (which work fine).

    I'll push an update to main repo with the same changes in the next week.

    The current ConnMan implementation was made for the simple use-case of connecting a tunnel and routing everything down the tunnel to the remote location; partly because that's my personal use-case and I did the work with ConnMan devs to get WireGuard support added into ConnMan. Any other use-case probably needs work and validation with them.

    ^ edit /storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xml to use that format for the sources, it's fairly simple to crib the format. Change username/passsword and the name of the Synology and share names as you need them in each section (video/music/pictures/games/files). Save and reboot or restart Kodi to effect the changes. You cannot "browse" to add shares without downgrading the NAS to SMBv1 (not recommended) but this takes 5 mins effort to setup once and then you're done.
