If you know the full URL of the add-on (to download) and know how to fiddle with the contents of the sqlite add-ons DB file (to enable the add-on after rebooting) it's possible. If not it will take 20 seconds once you have access to the GUI.

Your box has a large number of piracy add-ons installed. No further support will be provided until a clean Kodi debug log is provided that shows them removed.

Over time lots of people who were working in the Intel driver team either moved on to other things inside Intel or moved on from Intel. There were some layoffs too. The net result is the Intel driver team are ~10% of their former strength and while the chipsets are fine as "it works on Windows" we see persistent issues with Intel Linux driver quality and performance. Ho hum..

Wrong log. Wrong thread.

"none" means Samba default which is SMB3, so you need to force SMB1

There are no official images for RK hardware at this time. That will change in the mid-term future, but how our currently unwritten code runs on that box needs a crystal ball and some imagination.

Logs are not debug logs so they don't contain anything on the URLs being called.

Sounds like an issue with EDID and modelines. Pastebin a Kodi debug log after clean boot for a starting point.

Some boxes have slow loading network drivers that cause the initial repo update check to fail, which can result in there being "no add-ons in the repo!!!" .. so if it happens again just force refresh the repo and/or add a startup delay to Kodi via LE settings, and all will be fixed.

Pastebin a Kodi debug log file.

CONFIG_HID_MAGICMOUSE needs to be set in our kernels

Samba versions before 4.7 default to making NT1 (SMB1) connections and since 8.1.0 our embedded Samba server only speaks SMB2+

Remove "protocol = SMB2" because this is a server configuration item that has no effect on smbclient. You need to set this instead:

client min protocol = SMB2

This assumes the version of Samba installed on Mint is 4.1+ to support SMB2. It will also 'break' connectivity with anything else in your network that can only speak SMB1 as the client is now forced to SMB2 or higher.

This should not be required once the version of Samba installed in Mint is 4.7+

Full and clean logs after a reboot, not the last 6 mins after everything has rotated.

LE settings controls the embedded Samba server. Kodi settings control the smb client that accesses shares on the Win7 box.

In other words; changing server settings will not result in the Kodi client using SMB1.

In recent times most Broadcom stuff is mainlined and should be reliable. There is a lot of old crap still in circulation though, where there's a dogs-breakfast mix of things that require different (ID overlapping) drivers and things that are not supported on Linux for some reason. Not the worst offender (Realtek have that crown) but not blameless either.

settings > player > videos > skip steps

Not supported, and will not be supported. Time to invest in a Raspberry Pi to sit alongside the NAS.

Index of /test/ has 8.2.0.1 files with the same patch applied
