I emailed their support contact asking for drivers, but I wouldn't hold breath on getting an answer.

Sorry I missed the subtlety of 'for info' .. you're welcome to run whatever you like.

Is it some kind of branded speaker, or something cheap? .. Some cheap devices just have bad firmware.

CE problems should be reported to the CE developer in the CE forum, because we're not responsible for whateverthefcuk they decided to "fix" in their kernels this week/hour/minute. Seriously.. if you run their images your problem is not our problem.

Milhouse only publishes update .tar files so you need to install 8.2.5 and then manually update (copy the .tar to /storage/.update)

There's an add-on in our repo that automatically switches the audio connection to pulse when a specific BT (audio) device pairs.

I've read that article and was hoping the much newer kernel in the milhouse release might achieve something. I'm travelling at the moment, but will see if I can find time to spin an RPi image with the patch/changes from that thread.

It's active work in progress, that's about all there is to sensibly say right now.

LE will not run on this. It's probably skip (or eBay) material.

It should boot (or be bootable) but support for the CI hardware probably requires driver and device-tree changes.

Please test a current milhouse release on a spare SD card. It will have a newer kernel with bug fixes and changes.

It's work in progress, but not currently in a state that's worth trying to build. The core 4.17 kernel runs fine, but there is no working hardware decode (and S905 isn't strong enough for 1080p software decode) and HDMI audio is unreliable, and I didn't even think about DVB hardware support yet. Once things are in a state where public testing is possible or desirable, we'll announce images.

It's using the default (generic) device ID's so that's not the issue. Can you share the URL from "dmesg | paste" please.

It's technically possible to run the entire /storage partition from something external but you'll run into scheduling/sequencing issues attempting to move only the Kodi folders over. WH has 8GB internal space which is more than enough for a large Kodi media collection so it's not really worth the effort and complexity required.

Annual number of user complaints vs. Daily number of USB/SD Creator downloads + Daily increase in LE active installs suggests that it's a reliable and well-used tool. In our opinion ISO files suck, but you can continue using boring desktop distro's if you prefer

You need to set the disk "label" and then the device will mount with a consistent name based on the label. In the absence of one it randomises the mount point each time you connect.

e2label /dev/sda1 new-label-name-here

^ if the device is /dev/sda1

It's just the way it's been coded. If you see 'buffering' the solution is to fix your inadequate network, not fiddle with cache settings. There is no normal reason to fiddle with cache settings.

LE has drivers for most (not all, but most) common WIFI chipsets. Look for something with an Atheros chipset that uses the ath9k driver, it's one of the better written kernel drivers. I'd personally avoid anything with a Realtek chipset inside, but that's just me
