It probably just works, but no guarantees. Most pi users opt for a GPIO HAT audio card.

There are no torrent and related add-ons in our repo because we are a mediacentre distro and providing the tools for you to steal content in addition to being an excellent playback OS isn't going to happen.

If you are streaming direct from an original source, e.g. BBC iPlayer streamed from the BBC site and you are geographically in the UK and have paid the license fee; then streams are legitimate. If you are in a different country from the original sources and you are accessing them via a streaming provider who offers hundreds of channels from all over the world it is 99.999% certain that you are funding a criminal enterprise illegally rebroadcasting content for profit without consent of the original copyright holders. In laymans terms you are a pirate. And that means no further support in this forum.

Provide debug log files that prove otherwise and support can resume.

If you want to record TV use VDR or TVheadend - they have recording functions. If you are using IPTV streams via something like IPTV-simple they are almost certainly illegally re-broadcast (pirate) streams and we have no interest in helping you record stolen content. If you would like to provide debug logs that show/prove otherwise we are happy to investigate/help further.

Going by reports here and in other forums, the BT on RPi3 is not its best feature.

Sounds like an add-on that needs to be marked broken and removed from the Kodi repo until the author fixes it to work on Krypton.

Until Full Disclosure: [Kodi v17.1] - Local File Inclusion is fixed exposing the Kodi web interface to the internet is a really dumb move. If your employer has half a clue about security they will be blocking non-standard ports like 8080/9981.

I don't really understand what you're trying to achieve. Playing and recording content to a NAS doesn't require playercorefactory changes. The only video player we embed in our distro is ffmpeg. If you're following some guide that recommends to use alternative player binaries via playercorefactory you need to choose a non-embedded distro where you can install things, e.g. Ubuntu.

That depends on your definition of perfectly. Our official view is that it's a hack to be discouraged. It is not perfect.

most add-ons store metadata in /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/ so look there

Correct.

Everything is possible but there is no interest in adding this or other drive crypto things to official releases; largely because if we add one we'll be asked to add others and that bloats our codebase with complex niche features that very few people will ever use. It's the type of things that should be handled via an add-on in our add-on repo that the community maintains.

Unless your network is dysfunctional SMB is perfectly fine for sharing.

Add "tty" or "debugging" to kernel boot params in extlinux.conf (in the first partition on the boot disk) and a console will be available on CTRL+ALT+F3. The first just gives the console. The second also puts various subsystems into extra (and persistent) logging mode; as well as having the console.

I ignore zip files attached to forum posts. If someone else wants to review the above they're welcome. Otherwise i'll wait until our log posting guidelines are followed and a sprunge.us or pastebin.com URL link is provided.

There's a paste function in LE 8.0 settings add-on that sends logs to sprunge.us and shows the URL on-screen, but that doesn't address the OP's requirement of sending to a syslog server.

You can install the rsyslog add-on from the LE add-on repo.

Your log shows piracy add-ons installed so support stops here. You'll probably find removing them solves the problem - we see regular issues with pirate crapware accessing the DB at startup to self-enable, install more crap, and deliberately break 'competing' add-ons.
