[INDEX] LibreELEC community builds for Amlogic
If it shipped with XBMC Gotham and has a Mali-400 GPU it is probably an "MX" or "MX2" box with an Amlogic 8726MX SoC. This is the least-loved of the Amlogic chipsets for community development as newer (and much better performing) S905 based devices can be found online for $25, so most people can't be arsed to do much with them, but there are a couple of community images that you can try.
One of the project staff has a Revo3700 and has tested it with the official 8.1.0 image without issues. We can't think why you're seeing messages about decompressing an XZ kernel because the official Generic image uses gzip compression. Our current guess is you're not using an official image?
The install process depends on the hardware. You have not told us what the hardware is so we cannot advise. Saying "I have an Android box" is like saying "my car is red" .. do you have a Ferrari or a Ford?
perhaps run 'fsck' from another Linux install to make sure the partitions are okay..
Explain what you mean by media info?
share the URL from "dmesg | paste" so we can see if there are errors in the kernel log
If you use the USB/SD creator app all you need to do it point/click in the GUI ..
Accessing LibreELEC - LibreELEC
If you're "not a software guy" I'm wondering how you plan to send RS232 events to Kodi?
change the remote config or keymap to have a null event when the power key is pressed
ADDONS: Using repository repository.metalkettleI went back to look at the original logs you posted and saw that .. so two comments:
a) The legions of people using our Generic image are not complaining about memory consumption issues so we are pretty confident there are no major problems in that area. That doesn't mean to say something isn't lurking, but it does mean it will be niche and hard to pin down.
b) No further support will be provided until we see evidence of a clean debug log with no piracy crapware installed. FWIW we do see all manner of random bad behaviour with pirate sh1tware installed.
The design goal for 8.2 is to change as little as possible from 8.0 so there is no major change to the kernel and thus no major change to Intel drivers and firmware.
You will need to create a buildsystem package based on GitHub - adafruit/Adafruit_SSD1306: SSD1306 oled driver library for 'monochrome' 128x64 and 128x32 OLEDs! to compile the binary. The binary can then be inserted into the image. If you push changes to your github repo we can inspect them and comment.
As long as the update .tar file ends up in /storage/.update/ nothing cares about an internet connection. The other option is creating a new USB installer stick and clean installing .. which is never a bad idea since OE installs lots of language add-ons that aren't required.
So far only one person posted a debug log and that shows nothing to do with pvr.wmc (doesn't even look to be installed) which means we're not going to be much help. NB: LE 8.1.0 was released this morning with SMB2/3 support and Samba 4.x is (or was) the only major package difference between recent OE releases and LE. We've been slower to bump Samba version because it needed changes in Kodi too. OE ignored that part.
Instead of trying to build this in, it would be better to add SSD1306 support to the existing Adafruit libs add-on in our repo.

You will have to enlighten us on what CPU/GPU hardware is in the box before we can offer guidance.
could be a problem with the NTFS filesystem, e.g. unclean mount, although in those situations the normal behaviour is Linux refuses to mount the drive completely..
GitHub - LibreELEC/service.libreelec.settings: the LibreELEC settings addon for KODI .. all development is done against master branch
