I must have been half asleep -as the txt file is in /usr/lib/firmware not the brcm subfolder

Download again, the test image is updated.

Full debug log please - clean boot and demonstrate the problem

dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi

add ^ that to config.txt and the internal wifi is disabled and won't interfere with connections etc.

Update to LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2.1.tar and see if it works. It's the 8.2.1 release with the extra .txt file

Create the USB .. boot from it and unless you hit the keyboard in the first few seconds to start temp/permanent 'live' (run from USB) modes it will start the installer GUI which asks you to pick a storage device (i.e. internal drive) to install to.

D-Link_DWA-171_rev_A1

^ according to that it has an RTL8812AU chipset which we have driver for (although devices breed new USB ID's sometimes). There is a caution note that there are multiple revisions in circulation. So it probably works. No guarantee though. And before you ask, no we don't recommend devices. I'm happy to share my personal opinion that all Realtek devices are sh1t though .. due to out-of-kernel unmaintained drivers.

Kodi is not designed for (and does not support) cross platform profile moving. You can try literally copy/pasting the userdata folder files over .. but I doubt it will work reliably because there are fundamental differences in file paths and some Kodi settings.

*debug* log .. not normal log

Moved to the Amlogic community section where hacked-up versions of Kodi are 'supported' by their creators.

Reboot after installing. Fixed? .. in which case it's about the environment PATH not being set until reboot.

"lspci | paste" would be more useful, assuming it's connected to the PCI bus

I don't want to appear rude, but Leia is pre-Alpha code. Bugs are normal. If you don't want bugs .. don't run pre-Alpha buggy code. If you want to participate in bug hunting the development threads in the Kodi forum are the appropriate place to provide feedback.

Nope - drivers need to be baked into the LE image. You probably need a development version with newer kernel and firmwares .. and even then you would need to tell us the chipsets in the device to get a factual answer on support. As a rule we support stuff found in HTPC boxes; which is likely a bit different to what's found in a Surface.

There is a VPN client add-on in our add-on repo. VNC is not VPN.

LE 8.2.1 should be out within 24h

I didn't read the other threads etc. because if the people in Kodi forums don't know, the same people in LE forums will not know either. Have you done a proper clean install?

You need to disable the on-board wifi via overlay and connect an external USB wifi dongle. The onboard Pi3 wireless has a crap antenna and there is no software fix for that problem.

It depends on what updates/patches are applied to Win10 which is why there is no definitive answer. The fact it's on a pi is irrelevant. If the box is up-to-date MS now prevents access to shares with 'guest' rights so you need to enable password protection on the share via LE settings.
