Install the system-tools addon

8.1.2 is a beta release, logs are in /storage/.kodi/temp/ and enabling debug in Kodi gives more info if the issue is with Kodi. And if people don't read release notes and don't update incompatible customised Samba v3 config it will not be used in 8.2 releases that detect and ignore the incompatible config.

The newly appeared GH branch is missing some major functional parts at the moment (audio and hardware acceleration) and we have no visibility on Amlogic funding that development with their contract developers (it's not us). The branch exists because we are working on graphics elements between Amlogic, Rockchip, and others that need us to be experimenting from a newer overall codebase.

LE 9.0 does not exist yet, so I suggest you stop running unreleased pre-alpha code and use the released/stable LE 8.x image that works.

There's a ton of variables involved so you'll need to share a Kodi debug log so we understand hardware used and codecs etc. for the stream.

It's hard to comment. The Windows download is the most popular for the app and these days the majority of users will be using Win10, so quite why you've seen issues is not known. Overall we see very few issues reported.

Hello. I install Ace Stream, but not working

Good

You can also use LE settings to update via the GUI

There is no need to unpack the .tar update file yourself as we do it automatically (since ~4 years).

Feel free to email and tell broadcom to write their drivers to auto-detect regulatory domain during SSID association.

If you are using 8.1.2 removing the "# samba.conf v4 (do not remove)" text will result in the Samba startup script thinking it's an older v3 config that is not compatible and thus we skip it at startup. Hence it has "do not remove" written. Do not change the [global] section, just append the root config to the end of the file copying the existing format.

Support for 3D features depends on the hardware decoding interface. Pi hardware is well supported. Everything else.. not as well. I'd expect Amlogic to be at the bottom of the list for great support and these days (with the 3D fad passing) I doubt that will improve.

All pi hardware devices are a BCM2835 device; newer devices have been given a higher model number but it's the same chip with a higher clock speed. On a normal Linux kernel they all show up in /proc/cpuinfo as the same chip and Kodi reflects this. We are doing nothing wrong and you are not missing out on anything. Very much a case of "Nothing to see here.. move along please"

^ as long as that exists there's really not much point wasting effort on creation of an LE add-on

dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=i2s=on
dtoverlay=hifiberry-dac

^ is a guess based on 30 seconds of searching in Google.

NB: If you udpated an existing OE install LE will use the same config.txt .. changes will only be required if you clean installed LE

Also make sure you're using a current version of PuTTY

Pre-alpha code is frequently full of bugs and stability issues. So, err.. no surprises here!

echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=DE" > /storage/.config/cfg80211.conf
reboot

^ that's required to see channels 12 and 13
