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.

There is prior art in the build-system but pre-installing add-ons is something open to abuse so we don't tend to point things out without a clear(er) understanding of what you're trying to do. Be specific about the code parts you're looking to use.

Probably not.. the overall stack of bits involved generally needs to bump in something close to unison or you end up introducing more issues than you fix.

It means login over SSH and run that command, then share the URL the command generates. Users provide statements. Logs provide facts. We prefer facts

Other way around, things are now in S4 (a deeper sleep state) not S3. It's probably a general kernel change but the only complaints we see are from mac mini users so it's not impacting our normal "Generic" user population. I'd guess the root cause is something in the mac firmware that's not handled or excepted in the kernel correctly. Unfortunately none of the developer team are experts in kernel power management and I'm the only person who has a mac mini (an 2007 device which is a complete sh1t to boot Linux on) and I don't have the time/patience/inclination to see if my box is relevant to the problem; it's old and has completely different firmware to the 2010+ device people report issues against.

First thing is to share the URL from "dmesg | paste" so we can maybe see what's going on.

Please report the issue to the developer(s) of Kore via their Kodi forum support thread. It's not our software.

There are no plans to have Kodi step down in resolution to 720p. Most (not all, but most) hardware does a decent enough job at upscaling.
