If there is cam support from any of the home automation suites; there are docker containers for most of them and RPi images support docker.

Are you using a private DNS addressing scheme with .local addresses in your network?

LE is a fairly small project so broad distro support for building is "nice to have" not "must have" and most people use Ubuntu simply because it has a critical mass of LE builders and works, which eliminates the effort of chasing down esoteric build problems requiring deep expertise. Unfortunately the widespread use of Ubuntu means asking for help on "other distro" build issues can be challenging because few people are doing the same and can offer advice. If you do figure things out we are alway happy for people to submit changes on GitHub that improve things!

There is no Hyperion-NG add-on in our repo so there is nothing to update to the latest build. From past experience if we leap on things too early we get loads of whiny sh1ts posting and complaining about bugs, and we have better things to do with our time. Once Hyperion NG progresses beyond "pre alpha" we can revisit the topic.

You need to submit lots of code to Kodi so that it supports multi-screen configurations for control/playback. In other words; not currently possible.

Try labelling the drives to give them "names" .. the 1.42.6-5644 looks like something the kernel autocreates in the absence of a label.

Just for kicks, disable UPnP sharing in Kodi.

cd /storage/.update
wget http://url-of-update-file
reboot

^ manual update

Go into the LE settings add-on and do a hard reset .. this erases the content of /storage and puts you back in the same state as a clean install.

As a general statement the on-board wireless "could be better" and it's worth running a cable to use Ethernet.

Kodi debug log file please, via pastebin

You need to login and paste the logs after about 30 seconds. If you leave it for 4-5 mins (as the above attempt does) the crappy Amlogic kernel has logged so many hdmi errors the log buffer is starting to FIFO rotate and the early boot messages we're trying to see are missing.

Analogue audio already works on many devices. Do we have to guess what your device is?

The irony of iMX6 is that it's one of the most widely used and best documented chipsets available. However, going forward we will not adopt new SoC platforms without mainline support or a clear and achievable path towards it.

I'd guess "adjusting the version in LibreELEC" either changed the Samba server or the Kodi SMB client; neither of which have anything to do with kernel level CIFS mounts. In 8.1.2 the kernel defaults to SMB2 connections so you need to add vers=1.0 to the mount command to force SMB1 mounting.

You need to submit "dmesg | paste" after a clean boot. Taking it hours after the logs rotate is no use.

If you don't want Samba just turn the service off and use our default image. No need to compile your own.

And SSH is enabled in LE settings?

You need to provide some details on the hardware you have and which image you're trying to use.
