That's a bit like saying "my car is a ford" and expecting us to know the type of spark plugs fitted. Try again..

^ change 0 to 1 then create a patch for the LibreELEC-settings package to drop into the build-system.

MMAL is the technically better player, but you can switch from MMAL to OMXplayer in Kodi settings. You might need to enable 'Advanced' or 'Expert' mode in Kodi settings before you can see the option to change it. NB: The codec info shows H264 not MPEG2 so the license is irrelevant. You need to pastebin a Kodi debug log file if you want to anyone to look into the issue properly.

What kind of PSU is being used with the RPi?

belaid38 It's possible to run mainline kernels on the WP2 and Kodi runs, but there is no hardware decoding and no HDMI audio. Further development is required.

In most "my box froze" reports the actual issue is bad config or (more common) missing drivers) so after the boot messages Xorg doesn't run and thus nothing updates the screen with the Kodi splash or home-screen (hence the appearance of freezing). In 9/10 cases the OS is still running fine and you can SSH in to poke around. So are you sure you cannot get in?

You need to build the binaries on a 'similar' OS like Raspbian then copy them over to /storage on the LE9.0 install to see if they work for whatever you're trying to acheive. If you "try the same thing" running the script on an LE9.0 image you will get the same result; there are still no build/compile tools in the OS and it will still fail.

Kodi supports 'status' output to VFD type displays but there's no function for external controls like that.

LibreELEC is an embedded appliance-like OS with no build/compile tools. You will need to cross-compile the code from another machine and then either copy the binary over or create your own LE image that includes the binary. If you run LE 9.0 development builds instead of LE 8.0 releases you'll have the same base kernel as Raspbian which may allow the easier binary-copy option.

I has no benefit at all for our Linux distro. Please preach Android somewhere else, there are plenty of forums.

Run "touch /storage/.config/debug_connman" and reboot then the systemd journal will contain debug information. Connman logging is quite verbose but also quite readable. Interesting to see the stack trace in dmesg, although that is probably wireless related more than Ethernet, although technically 80211 standards are not exclusive to wireless.

Rockchip development continues to advance nicely, but there are no plans to support the RK3229 chipset. Our focus will be exclusively on the chipsets listed here: http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_main_page because those are the only ones with a long-term path towards mainline kernel support.

From a Linux/Kodi perspective it's just a USB soundcard, so it's unlikely to be complicated.

smbclient exists in LE, along with kernel smb mount capabilities. Neither are required though. Go read the extensive release notes for LE 8.2.3 on the website then figure out which combination of configuration and wrong expectations need to be changed. It's not a bug.

It's an ongoing process, but people have lives, families and real jobs. There is no schedule.

You can't install drivers, they need to be pre-installed to the OS image. The first step towards investigating is telling us the wireless chipset inside the device.

You can look at the Snapcast Client/Server for audio streams (in our add-on repo). There uses one device as the master and two others as slave devices to the master rather than attempting to keep three independent streams in sync. There is no equivalent for video.
