It will be removed once Team Kodi fork the v18 release branch and the master branch becomes v19. If you're lucky someone will come along and implement EGL streams + NVDEC support in Kodi. It's do-able, but it's unlikely to be someone from Team Kodi.

BCM4360 should be supported by the "wl" driver in Generic images. Provide "dmesg" output from a clean boot using the 006 alpha release.

There is no way to "cast" pics/video to Kodi (on LE, or any other distro or Kodi supported platform) since iOS 9.x was released (thanks Apple!) so the only thing you can do is copy them to a USB stick and connect it to the HTPC device. Or pick up an AppleTV for that purpose.

It's, err... different

Edit the syslinux.conf entries and add "tty" to the boot params of the "run" option.

It's not on a menu. Hit enter when the syslinux prompt shows, then type 'run' and hit enter again.

Unless your box has particularly crap components a decent SD card will give good LE performance.

It's been a while since I flashed one, but the rough sequence (once you installed the CM drivers to Win7) is to connect the USB cable and wait for that device to be detected, then run the exe file and it detects the device, then power the box on and the memory will mount. According to the Pi Foundation site the exe should run automagically but it never happened for me - I always had to do it manually. At this point if the original Slice image used a FAT partition for boot stuff (it's a couple of years since I saw the original noobs config and I can't remember) it will be mount and you can copy over (overwrite) the boot files from the target folder of the .tar file. If not, the only option will be to flash the eMMC with our .img file which will nuke the existing install .. but the ease the pain of loss you get some extra space on the eMMC as noobs is no longer present. Flashing the eMMC won't touch the internal HDD if you have one installed.

NB: No idea what J4 is about so definitely not required.

"run" gets you a persistent install on the USB and "live" gives you a non-persistent install

I've created webspace for balbes150 to upload an aarch64 repo into, so at some point over the weekend things should start working.

Put the alpha release on a USB stick and test-boot without touching the existing install.

Read Infrared Remotes [LibreELEC.wiki] for info on creating a custom IR config. It's not that hard and using the original remote is probably miles easier than suffering CEC (which works well on some TV's but can be awful on others).

LE has never shipped anything official with that script included.

GMA3650 is not supported. It's not impossible to find the drivers. It's only impossible to use them

If you changed the Kodi splash (and the new splash lives under /storage/.kodi somewhere) it will be included in a backup. If you changed the LE boot splash in the boot partition it will not be included.

NB: LE doesn't ship images with installtointernal scripts so anything in that direction isn't our problem.

If you're using the current alpha release CTRL+ALT+F3 should switch you to a local console. On older releases you might need to add "tty" to the boot params in either syslinux.conf or extlinux.conf (whichever is being used) in the first partition on the USB stick.

It depends on the hardware vendor, there's never been a standard for which key gets into firmware/bios

The first question for all "my wireless doesn't work" questions is .. what chipset is in the wireless device?
