It appears some firmware went missing among the firmware repo cleanup's we've done. However, nobody has PR'd a change to re-add that firmware to the 8.2 and master branches on github yet, so the issue is not solved.
Find a USB "Y" cable that allows the HDD to draw power from 2x USB ports?
It will be under add-ons > programs in Confluence
Adding a Samba share via the "Add a network location..." browse option, including adding full credentials, should also work.
network browsing is dependent on use of SMB1 and there is no equivalent in the SMB2/3 protocol; blame Microsoft
You cannot "Network browse" to the box unless it has SMB1 active, but you can provide the full \\server\share path in the Kodi GUI and Kodi should connect to the share and prompt for username/password. I personally find it easiest to edit /storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xml but Windows people tend to have irrational command line phobias.
Nope. Go into the services tab and enable BT first, then the BT devices screen will be active.
Running a torrent client is not a banned practice because bittorrent does have legitimate uses. However it's quite obvious from the log that you are using yours to steal the new Baywatch movie using a torrent file from TPB. This project does not endorse content theft/piracy and this is not one of the legitimate uses of bittorent we might entertain support for.
Not possible in Krypton. Might be possible in Kodi Leia if I continue to nag people on the Kodi side (as it's something I'd like to see too). No promises though as it requires core code changes (not just skin things) for it to happen.
It's a skin-specific setting. It is not present in Estuary.
Fix for ffwd/rew events will be in the next 8.1 beta or 8.2 final release (not sure which it will be yet).
You can also remove the custom NTP servers because we already use (fall back to if nothing specified) ntp.pool.org servers.
It's probably easier to go find a Windows 7 VM for the task.
I doubt there is any programmatic method to tell Kodi "wait until this python add-on command has finished" so as it shuts down slice.service is forcibly unloaded and that terminates playback of the shutdown LED pattern. The overall OS shutdown process does have a dependency on unmounting HDD(s) so if they respond differently in terms of time (which I think is likely) the pattern will play for a different time period. It might be possible to add a systemd service to the Slice image that runs a simple delay/countdown .. but figuring that out (as I'm no systemd expert) will be a super-super-low priority. If others want to poke around and figure it out, it would be welcome.
The same file is used for normal rewind and faster rewind, but maybe something in the python? (as I don't do/read python):
LibreELEC.tv/default.py at slice-8.2 · chewitt/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
Just rename samba.conf to samba.disabled before rebooting, then it's easier to compare and make changes to the new samba4 template
It's probably somewhere in /storage/.kodi/addons/service.tvheadend42/ not the dir where Kodi stores add-on settings?
No drivers seem to be activated.
I can't see a Xbox type driver anywhere in Device Manager.
That's because the LibreELEC USB/SD creator app does not install Pi Foundation CM drivers. You've imagined that capability 
Flashing the Compute Module eMMC - Raspberry Pi Documentation
tells you to install this: rpiboot_setup.exe
Using Win7 I have never seen/experienced the drivers executing rpiboot.exe automatically, but manually connecting the box, running rpiboot.ext with admin rights, then applying power, seems to work. Once the eMMC storage shows up in Windows you can run the USB/SD app to image it.
