RAR archive support has moved to an add-on which can be installed from the LE repo.

Team Kodi are largely responsible for packaging the game add-on(s). Team LibreELEC are responsible for ensuring something compiles and we do the actual building (hence add-ons are in our repo). The fact that something compiles doesn't necessarily guarantee things will actually work; everybody is still learning about this stuff .. and the GUI still needs a lot of refinement to better guide users on how things should be used.

Does that mean that the 3.14 Kernel for amlogic devices is going to be replaced (Vim,Odroid C2, etc.)?
Correct. We've been working on this for the last year and are now a couple of months from having things in a fairly decent state. GXBB/GXL devices are actually very usable already, GXM hardware (VIM2) needs panfrost to mature a little first (but also active WIP).
You can have a poke at current test images from balbes150 here:
-
1. I'm not aware of any issues with the tethered hotspot feature; the sysctl hack should not be required.
2. Use the LE settings add-on (or connmanctl from the command line) to change the DNS servers; if none are set manually, whatever your router gives via DHCP will be used instead. If you need a gateway that's different from the one provided by DHCP, set the IP details (including DNS) manually.

Currently not working but being actively investigated. No timeline on when something public might be ready.

milhouse will pick that commit into his builds for some testing and as long as no issues are observed we'll add it into an update while reminding the Pi Foundation folks that the issue is still outstanding. The patch will probably miss LE 9.0.1 (which is due imminently) but land in LE 9.0.2. Keep using the modified test image for now; it's better to have a system that works with a few more unresolved Kodi bug than something with fewer bugs that doesn't work.

Not possible until HDR support gets added to the Linux kernel. It is being actively worked on (by Intel engineers).

Ahh.. would be good to test then. Can you spin an image for the user?

Raspberry Pi 3 built-in WiFi SSH NTP Problem · Issue #1519 · raspberrypi/linux · GitHub
links to Sets the BCDC priority to constant 0 · raspberrypi/linux@983cf7a · GitHub which from the age of commits i'd expect to be included with our kernel, but it's not something I can test (am travelling at the moment).
I've pinged some of the pi folks, but traffic to that GH ticket might be a good idea too

File locations discussed on the Kodi wiki map to:
/storage/.kodi/userdata/server.key
/storage/.kodi/userdata/server.pem
I've no idea if anything else is needed.. but we haven't done anything to disable the feature.

Currently VIM1 only. VIM2 support will come with the switch to modern kernels (soon, but not this week).

As I said before, I have no knowledge on how the Windows stuff works.

Looks like the device-tree was merged for Linux 5.1 (see [v5,1/5] arm64: dts: rockchip: Add DT for NanoPC-T4 - Patchwork) so it should be picked up in the mainline rebase work at some point. If someone submits a valid Linux 4.4 device-tree to @kwiboo's rockchip kernel repo it can probably find it's way into the ongoing alpha releases for RK hardware. Otherwise I have nothing to add .. I'm not that involved in the RK work.

NFS is marginally more efficient but not natively supported on Windows. I've used SMB for years without issues .. if it has problems the issue is configuration or inadequate bandwidth.
-
a) Poking /sys will work if you figure out the right command (not very helpful advice I know)
b) Multi-channel audio is in the to-do list, but not the highest priority at the moment
c) Not at the moment .. the V4L2/GBM code will need to evolve support for VNC
d) Most likely the TVH add-on currently in the repo doesn't match the minimum version for the Kodi nightly; once 9.0.1 is out this should get resolved

If it's a BT device? it can be un-paired in LE settings.
-
1. No
2. It's possible but normally impossible to pin down to a specific thing. SMB2/3 will give faster throughput (an incentive to update)
3. Our testing showed a positive improvement. All testing is subjective to environments.. YMMV.
4. Honestly no idea how Windows handles version negotiation. Kodi on Windows uses the native SMB capabilities of the OS whereas on other OS (Linux/Android/macOS etc.) we use smbclient (part of Samba).
