If imx6 hardware is able to run on a mainline kernel and use a more modern code stack the platform as a whole will benefit from other changes and improvements to Kodi and Linux graphics. Right now Kodi is the top layer of a "house of cards" that balances precariously on a vendor hacked Linux kernel. Our long standing challenge and general beef with SolidRun is that there are unresolved issues and the sole developer they have supporting their community efforts never appears to fix anything that benefits us, and never upstreams or publishes any of his patches. I have no idea whether moving up to a mainline kernel will "fix" your issue or others, but imx6 things either change in the near future or we throw support under a bus and reverse over it a few times to make sure it's properly dead, then we go focus our energies on other more supportable silicon.

IMHO .. stick with vpeter's images for now. The first two? OE 8.0 releases for imx6 didn't even boot (bad images) which should give you an indication of how much testing was done before release.

8.2 releases have a bluetooth-audio addon available which will auto-switch the audio output when you connect to a BT speaker.

Library updates will update the Library. Playlists are a manually created list of things that can be things from the Library or from the non-Library videos view. Playlists are supposed to be manual. Hence everything works as expected.

Yup. As per previous comment, something changed in the kernel and it's in S4 not S3

Current RK development has been focussed on getting kernel and ffmpeg things right in preparation for major rearchitecting of Linux graphics in Kodi that will affect a lot more than RK hardware. That work is nearing completion. Once the developers rebase against Kodi Leia you'll start to see things like hardware acceleration drop in. Current builds in circulation are best described as a "technical proof of concept" and since the focus has not really been on Kodi at all, they are not really intended for public consumption.

8.1.2 detects that you have an older v3 config that would cause samba to fail on startup and skips it (so starts with the default v4 config) hence the shares are missing.

I don't know what the solution is, but the probable cause is WinXP not supporting NTLM authentication.

The radical Linux graphics rework/changes being brewed for Kodi Leia should (maybe) allow iMX6 to move up to a mainline kernel so there's not much appetite for further fiddling on 3.14 and 4.4 versions. If things pan out, they will be thoroughly obsolete.

Do "trust and connect" when connecting.

hillz not possible on Amlogic devices, only on Intel GPU (x86_64) hardware.

From a little Googling there is sh1t firmware in the USB > SATA controller, see: The Pains of Storage – Random Thoughts

If you have access to a Windows box there is a firmware update on the Prolific website for the PL-2773 chipset: PL-2773 USB3.0 / eSATAII to SATAII Bridge Controller | Prolific USA

On a pi device we're using a kernel that is basically derived from the same sources that Raspian uses, so how it worked there I can't explain.

Are you talking about WOL being sent from the mac mini to a NAS? .. or WOL waking the mac mini itself?

I've seen complaints about people not being able to wake mini's from suspend using IR remote controls in the past and although the actual reason is not understood it has something to do with kernel changes that result in the box going into S4 state and the IR receiver not being powered to receive the wake signal. Those reports always have a "but it used to work on <some older release>" comment. I'd hypothesise your issue probably has it's roots in the same kernel changes. It's nothing specific about moving from OE to LE, it's all about something in the kernel and you'd see the same issue if you moved from OE 6.0 to OE 8.0 as well.

No debug log = no problem

If you click the button for inline code you get <= that. If you click the normal code button you get something else.

No further support will be provided while you have banned (piracy) add-ons installed.

According to en:users:drivers:brcm80211 [Linux Wireless] and LG_AN-WF100 this device is not supported by the Linux kernel and there are no plans to support it.

Which OE release worked?
