You need to manually unpack the backup tar file and selectively restore items else the "full restore" process is reverting the box to exactly the same state it was in before reinstalling, i.e. nothing changed.

From what we understand those images are a "greatest hits" of hacky patches previously created for OE builds respun as an LE image. They are nothing to do with us. Proper support for some Allwinner chipsets is now being worked on, see recent blog posts on our website.

To be clear.. it is safe to fsck. It is not safe to use in rw.
-
Linux *always* mounts HFS+ as read-only, unless you fsck and force the mount. It is not safe to keep fsck'ing so just leave it in read-only mode.

please pastebin the correct (tested, works best on Ubuntu) txt file

Not possible. You'd need to hack the theme to change the OSD display.
-
Over time we have experimented with various "solutions" for HFS+ drives and the long story short is that none of them work sensibly or reliably over a large userbase. HFS+ and Linux are not a good combination; exFAT is ideal if you need something truly cross-platform. If it is local use only on the HTPC device, use EXT4.

Same process .. put the update .tar or .img.gz files in /storage/.update and reboot.

Kodi supports rates up to 384KHz but that requires specialist DAC hardware and most devices will stick to the official S/PDIF specification limits that stop at 24/192Khz. It is hardware dependent, but I would be surprised if Android box hardware didn't support them. The alsa drivers in the Amlogic kernel could be an entirely different issue, but the hardware itself should be fine

Just as a comment .. the PR (which is now merged) was only for master branch, not 8.2

I can see that LE3 was original an OE install .. there's a ton of unnecessary language resources and unofficial repo junk that's been pre-installed. It really wouldn't hurt to take a backup and then reinstall.

Kodi user profiles can be applied to core Kodi settings only, not the settings of an external add-on like LE settings. There is a plan to support a simple PIN code for access to the settings add-on in the LE 9.0 codebase to stop kids/wives etc. from fiddling with things, although nobody submitted code for it yet .. I need to nag someone.

Go read the release notes; come back if you have further questions.

I don’t suppose there is a low cost system that can play and 1080p video without acceleration?
Most people search for a low cost system that can plan 1080p video *with* acceleration. Visit the Amlogic section of the forum at your own risk

Not supported, so no software and no manual.

Kodi on LE is Kodi, I'm not sure why you think it would be different to any other Kodi.
-
Looks about right. Report issues with the pre-Alpha OS/Leia code in them to the Milhouse threads in Kodi forums.

The Kodi SMB client allows you to specify a workgroup (domain) name, and if you add an SMB share that requires credentials it should ask/prompt you to enter them.
