Our long term technical direction will be to use the in-kernel framework and we are actively collaborating with Hans Verkuil who maintains that part of the Linux kernel. At the moment the kernel parts hook into the libCEC support within Kodi, but at some point code needs to be reworked to drop that dependency. I'm not directly involved or sure whether this will happen in v18 as GBM/DRM and V4L2 graphics support has a higher priority, but it's a firm item on our long-range to-do list.

Connect via Ethernet (temporarily) and run:
connmanctl
agent on
scan wifi
services
connect <name of service>
Copy/paste the password string when required.
WPS could technically be supported, but there is currently no support in our settings add-on for it, and that's unlikely to change.

"journalctl -b 0" <= current boot
"journalctl -b 1" <= previous boot
The journal has limited buffer though, so logs often rotate before anything useful is captured. Add "debug" to kernel boot params to make things more persistent.

Make sure you have an HDMI cable that supports 2.0 specs.

In LE 8.2.2 those options are available in Kodi settings > services > smb client> configure minimum/maximum client protocol as SMB1 and enable "legacy security" and you get the same thing.

I am keen to see a public URL to the sources of this so-called LibreELEC image? .. or are Tanix just another cheap GPL violating manufacturer?

People in our forum have exorcised Android from their devices so won't be much use for detailed comparisons with a specific custom ROM image they are not using. Go experiment and make your own decision.

Or use the manual update function in the settings GUI (no need to use the console). The update mechanism works fine so there is some kind of local issue for your device or network (including ISP).

Code
echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=DE” > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/cfg80211.confThe default "global" wireless regulatory domain has no support for channels 12, 13, 14 so a specific country regdomain must be set, e.g. ^ would be used for Germany which allows channels 12 and 13.

I'm confident there is a bug in the LE settings agent error handling code for a long time now, but as none of the staff appear to have hardware or USB dongles that exhibit the issue it remains unresolved. The LE settings add-on has its own dbus agent so the connmanctl console agent being off or on is irrelevant to the problem.

Current C2 releases are aarch64, future C2 releases and kszaq current release are 'arm' so the update process aborts. Instructions on how to override that are shown on-screen under the error/abort message.

Most people with large numbers of devices PXE boot them. It doesn't result in config files being replicated, but it does result in all the config being stored in a single server, which makes updates and the process of changing config easier.

Auto update works fine. If it is not working for you, you are either using some kind of community release that has no update available, or the issue is localised to your environment.

Kodi auto-detects the available hardware at boot so it sounds like a race condition where the soundcard drivers are not always loaded before Kodi starts and thus it cannot enumerate the previously configured card and defaults back to HDMI which is available. Put a startup delay in LE settings (aka wait for network) of 5-10 seconds and see if the problem goes away.

All Windows versions since Vista should use SMB2 natively.

No idea as I don't use it. You'll also need to check with one of the S912 image creators to see if they build it in their repo.

It's probably worthwhile pointing out there is no single config.ini file for our distro, so even if TFTP did work it's still not going to be the magic thing that configures lots of boxes for you.
