Just update, the Kodi version doesn't change so settings etc. are fine.

Start with an LE 9.0 test image and Infrared Remotes [LibreELEC.wiki]

Some card readers don't like super-fast SD cards. See if you can find and retest with an old/slow SD card.

Connman doesn't support bridging and we don't have separate bridge tools in the OS. The nearest you can get is enabling tethering for Ethernet and then connecting the DVD player to the tethered Ethernet port. Connman's tethering function was originally designed for use on a phone so it's deliberately simple and creates a separate NAT routed subnet. This is fine for getting a device connected to the internet, but the device will not be contactable from the normal subnet that the HTPC is in.
To enable Ethernet tethering: copy /etc/connman/main.conf to /storage/.config/connman_main.conf and edit "TetheringTechnologies = wifi" to be "TetheringTechnologies = ethernet, wifi" and restart the box. You can now use "connmanctl" to enable ethernet tethering from the console; the LE settings add-on only supports enabling "wifi" tethering.
If the tethering option (which we don't really intend to support) either doesn't work or doesn't suit your needs the correct/best solution is using a hub/switch to provide a proper Ethernet connection.

If both rufus and our app have issues it's something at OS level causing the issue, e.g. something like AV or another security tool trying to inspect whats copied or written to removable media devices.

OE uses the crap driver. Read post #6.

The sources.libreelec.tv server was relocated the other day, but should be available. Be specific about errors.

Using a browser on Ubuntu; create an account on YouTube and sign-in to that account, add items to a playlist. Now sign-in to the YouTube add-on in Kodi and the same playlist(s) will be visible and useable. Playlists in Kodi are not integrated with YouTube.

It's not that complicated, but (as per your other thread) complexity is not the issue.

because adding 65MB of JRE to an image that was only 110MB to start with, to provide a feature that everyone has managed without since Kodi first added support for BR discs, is egregious bloat. We feel it makes no sense.

I'm a pedant. It's a VGA port. It is not a serial port.

If an x86_64 (Generic) device; connect a keyboard and hit keys at boot. Once you see the syslinux boot prompt type "run" and it will install to itself and then run from USB in persistent mode. There are no ISO images of LE so don't bother asking or looking for them.

I'll drop the hint that we build all official releases on 16.04, and me (who builds them) avoids all non-LTS releases of Ubuntu because they always bring a ton of weird build problems.

No idea what the issue is unless you provide a debug log file (enable Samba, click in the logfiles share and logs are captured). NB: The "internet: connected" check is patched out of LE because it has dumb logic that breaks in some geo locations, and secondary DNS being blank is normal if your router does not set multiple servers (most cheap routers set only themselves).

It contains hacks and drivers which they refuse to provide sources for in breach of the GPL license. In our world that's shitty.
