The tethered hotspot feature provides a routed WLAN (not bridged) that will assign an IP via DHCP, but to work this requires wireless drivers that support modern kernel standards. Anything using the current Amlogic kernel in community builds is probably 50/50 due to a combo of old kernel and old wireless drivers. If it works, great. If it doesn't work, either go buy a router/bridge/extender device or wait patiently for mainline kernel support. There is low/no appetite for fixing issues in the current 3.14 kernel as it's days are numbered.

chkdsk.exe on Win, then safe disconnect

Moved to the Amlogic section of the forum

20 seconds of Google shows DS3231 it uses the DS1307 driver, so ^ it should just work

Just a hunch: In Krypton "sync playback to display" forces PCM as Kodi must resample media to match the panel clock and you get PCM output. With it disabled audio can be passed-through without change. In Kodi Jarvis (and older) the same settings give a different result (because of some ugly hacks that Krypton did away with).

Create a new install USB. Connect a USB keyboard. Boot the box from the installer USB and type 'run' or 'live' which will boot LE from the USB in a live mode. Once into LE, enable SSH and login to mount the first internal storage partition and copy over the KERNEL and SYSTEM files from the installer USB. Unmount, power off, remove the USB, power on. The box should boot up correctly now.

NB: I assume you updated from a very old LE release or OpenELEC. Once you're on LE 8.0 or newer you won't be able to repeat the same mistake because the update routine detects incompatible images and aborts the update process.

First it would be a feature request not a bug report. Second, no, because LE uses dd from busybox which does not support this.

It should be in the LE repo, either program or service add-ons, I forget which section.

Which 'community' release are you running? .. we can bug the creator to add the patch we need testing and spin you a build.

Both LE and OSMC are stuck using the same sh1t out-of-tree vendor provided drivers. Realtek should really be taken into a dark alley and beaten senseless until their policy of hiring school kids to write crap drivers that are not upstreamed to the mainline kernel is changed.

No idea. Pastebin a Kodi debug logfile and we can see what errors are logged.

None. Pastebin a Kodi debug log file.

It is not available in official releases and I don't recall anyone advertising their own custom builds with it included (at least, not here). You cannot 'install' it because LE has no software package management system.

Last time I looked The Pi Hut sold RPi heatsinks for £1 .. off you go

LE uses the Linux kernel driver for that chipset so it should be considered stable. There is probably little difference in speed between the two devices so if it works fine you might as well use the on-board (also USB) Ethernet.

cp /etc/connman/main.conf /storage/.config/connman_main.conf

Now edit "PreferredTechnologies = ethernet,wifi,cellular" to be "PreferredTechnologies = wifi,ethernet,cellular" and reboot, and the wifi connection will be the Internet connection when both are connected. If not, Ethernet becomes the internet routed connection when it's active.

I have a mirror of my old OE subdomain that contains ATV add-ons on my LE hosting space and the webserver is configured to listen for requests on both hostnames, so ^ run that command and reboot and add-ons should be accessible again. There have been no add-on changes/updates in 2x years though so if anything is broken (i.e. due to upstream changes) there are no fixes.

Original files for install etc. are available on OpenELEC (unofficial) Kodi Isengard builds for AppleTV

If you want to boot multiple OS on the same SD card "noobs" from the Pi Foundatin is probably the easiest option. Netflix is not supported in current releases based on Kodi Krypton (same for any other OS). It is working in pre-Alpha versions of LE9.0/Leia images, with a little mucking about to install libwidevine libs that are required.
