You need to provide details of the tuner device (chipset) in the box, not the make/model name of the box.

Until the next release of LE starts alpha testing (soon, but not next week) yYou probably need a Milhouse development build (or self-compile an image from our master branch) to have a newer kernel and driver support for the GPU.

Yes. Kodi is designed to work around a "Library" of your media. In the Library view Movies can be sorted by title alphabetically. The 'videos' view is a temp view of data. It works like most filesystem explorers; folders first, files second. Solution is to "scrape" content to the Library.

VNC is about the only screen sharing thing available with LE as Airplay video hasn't worked since iOS8.x (and never supported screen mirroring) and using that (client) software you need to connect from RPi to Mac, you cannot 'cast' the other way from Mac to RPi - and the performance will be a bit sucky (probably). I'd say the least-worst solution is to find a non-current (cheaper) AppleTV on eBay. You can cast FOSS love in the direction of Apple by never renting movies etc. from them.

It is a Kodi SMB client setting (in Kodi settings). It has nothing to do with the Samba server config (in LE settings add-on).

The hope was to have everything on a mainline-ish kernel before switching, but that isn't going to happen for AML devices for a while (not on the 9.0 schedule) so revised intent was to leave iwd until a mid-year 9.2 or similar release, or 10.0 if testing shows drivers need more baking time.

The tethered hotspot feature provides a routed WLAN (not bridged) that will assign an IP via DHCP, but to work this requires wireless drivers that support modern kernel standards. Anything using the current Amlogic kernel in community builds is probably 50/50 due to a combo of old kernel and old wireless drivers. If it works, great. If it doesn't work, either go buy a router/bridge/extender device or wait patiently for mainline kernel support. There is low/no appetite for fixing issues in the current 3.14 kernel as it's days are numbered.

chkdsk.exe on Win, then safe disconnect

20 seconds of Google shows DS3231 it uses the DS1307 driver, so ^ it should just work

Just a hunch: In Krypton "sync playback to display" forces PCM as Kodi must resample media to match the panel clock and you get PCM output. With it disabled audio can be passed-through without change. In Kodi Jarvis (and older) the same settings give a different result (because of some ugly hacks that Krypton did away with).

Create a new install USB. Connect a USB keyboard. Boot the box from the installer USB and type 'run' or 'live' which will boot LE from the USB in a live mode. Once into LE, enable SSH and login to mount the first internal storage partition and copy over the KERNEL and SYSTEM files from the installer USB. Unmount, power off, remove the USB, power on. The box should boot up correctly now.

NB: I assume you updated from a very old LE release or OpenELEC. Once you're on LE 8.0 or newer you won't be able to repeat the same mistake because the update routine detects incompatible images and aborts the update process.

First it would be a feature request not a bug report. Second, no, because LE uses dd from busybox which does not support this.

It should be in the LE repo, either program or service add-ons, I forget which section.

Which 'community' release are you running? .. we can bug the creator to add the patch we need testing and spin you a build.

Both LE and OSMC are stuck using the same sh1t out-of-tree vendor provided drivers. Realtek should really be taken into a dark alley and beaten senseless until their policy of hiring school kids to write crap drivers that are not upstreamed to the mainline kernel is changed.

No idea. Pastebin a Kodi debug logfile and we can see what errors are logged.

None. Pastebin a Kodi debug log file.
