No logs .. no problem.

What you are seeking does not exist. The add-on situation will improve once K19 Alpha1 ships and more add-on creators update their add-ons.

Not within the Kodi GUI, no.

echo "i915" > /storage/.config/udev.d/blacklist.conf && reboot

See if blacklisting the Intel driver allows the Radeon GPU to be detected, and if that doesn't work, see if blacklisting "amdgpu" or "radeon" works instead. If neither works it's probably a missing PCI device ID in one of the drivers. That's my guess (and it's a guess).

Create /storage/.config/kodi.conf with the required content and restart Kodi (or reboot).

Some of the tools are console only.. requiring you to open an SSH console. There is a web-based SSH console add-on in our repo which might be easier on a tablet device.

kodi-send allows you to send commands to Kodi once it is started, which could be used for auto-starting the screensaver. udev rules can run scripts on the insertion of removable media devices, and the scripts could find/copy image files on the inserted device to local storage and stop/restart the screensaver. There's no pre-existing guide with step by step instructions, but that's how I'd approach the task.

We are delighted that wizard piracy crapware does not run on our OS. Please read forum rules before you ask for any further help on that topic.

For any device >= 1GB RAM we are already load the OS into RAM, so zram makes no improvement (and can make things worse). Similarly there is no need for swap so it is not enabled by default (but can be enabled manually via a swap.conf file if desired). As a general rule you can assume that LE already did extensive testing on these kinds of OS level optimisations and ruled them in/out.

Netbooting is used by a microscopic percentage of our total users, and zero project staff. As long as we continue to receive the occasional "it still works" post when we make major changes there's no reason for us to remove netboot support, but we're equally not looking to expand support. Sorry.

"One strange issue. On ff or rewind movie that I watching through addon video freezes but sound is going on"

^ and the add-on name you provided (in the post I deleted) was a torrent streaming piracy add-on. QED.

On the internet everything is legal somewhere and illegal somewhere else, so I have not stated the add-ons are illegal. I have stated they are against our forum rules (we follow the Kodi forum rules on this topic). In short; you're free to use LE/Kodi however you like, and we're free to choose how we provide support in our forum. Users of piracy add-ons violate our forum rules (which you accepted when registering an account). We are always happy to support ex-pirates who prove their devices are now clean.

radmir .. I deleted your post as it linked to a source of pirate add-ons, and support will be refused for devices with piracy add-ons installed. Please provide a Kodi debug log that shows your device(s) are free of them for support to continue.

The two remaining reasons that I see SSH issues from are:

a) Users formatting /storage as FAT32, which ensures incorrect SSH key permissions and the daemon will fail to start.

b) User error .. fat fingers, typo, etc.

This should be reported to the Kodi developers on GitHub with screenshots or video to explain the issue.

I still have some issues to solve before I send a PR to bump to Linux 5.5; and until this master is still using a 5.3 kernel which doesn't have the GT-King device-tree included. I believe Oleg's images will have it, as he mostly tracks my sources.
