Not that I'm aware of.

Is Raspbian on the same SD card? .. sounds like a duff card.

To put things in /usr/bin you need to compile a custom LE image with appropriate configuration and package changes. There are probably other ways to achieve something though, if you explain in more detail what you're trying to achieve.

Slice:~ # connmanctl services
*AO Wired                ethernet_b827ebe1571e_cable

^ find the active service name, it's the "ethernet_mac_cable" string.

connmanctl config ethernet_b827ebe1571e_cable --nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

^ set nameservers

Slice:~ # cat /etc/resolv.conf 
# Generated by Connection Manager
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

^ connman has updated the nameserver list for eth0

Two things:

a) So far you are the only person to report it. So do some testing and step backwards to tell us the last working release.

b) Test a current milhouse (Leia) release, because there are no plans for more 8.2 releases

Are the USB drives attached to the LE box or to a Windows box somewhere else in the network? .. if it's a Windows box lirc has nothing to do with this, but you need to go read the 8.2.1 release notes section on SMB changes.

Not identical, but broadly equivalent. Both support DVB-S.

^ this is from an 8.2.2 install which shows the add-on was updated on 15 December. Kodi redirects requests to their add-on repo to mirror servers so it's possible the mirror that you are being sent to has bad/outdated information, but the mirrroring software normally stops that. I suggest you download the zip file direct and "install from zip" manually.

There's two lines that mention wlan0 but nothing related to association with a network and no errors that might give hints. Apart from taking a backup and then doing a clean install I'm not sure what to suggest.

It's either a typo or the key doesn't work, in which case you need to contact the Pi Foundation.

Nope. Our default config is wide open. It will change in LE9 so iptables restricts inbound connections to RFC1918 networks, but that still wouldn't explain why you cannot connect from a local network.

If you want to influence Kodi features you need to whinge post in their forums.

You need to create a custom /storage/.config/xorg.conf that restricts the modes available to Xorg. The following xorg.conf was something I used with an older Samsung LCD in the past. It defines the specific modes (all 1080p) for output. As long as you don't define 4k modes, they will not be present in the mode pool and Kodi cannot use them. You will need to put Xorg into 'debug' mode and figure out what the Horizontal/Vertical refresh limits and correct 1080p modelines are for your screen. Note that the first parameter of the 23.976 mode can be set to four decimal places to get more accurate mode timing - the default is only two decimal places. It is never possible to get exact 23.976 on an nvidia card but it's possible to get closer than the default.

No further support will be provided until you provide a debug logfile showing a system without pirate add-on repo's installed.

Check for space on the internal storage. You will need approx 2.5x the size of the update file free for boot to succeed. If you are under the required amount the only option is to download the .tar file on macOS, uncompress, then copy the files over to /storage/.update and reboot. This skips a stage and requires less space. LE (and OE before) have never supported FTP so that's an easy explanation. SFTP (FTP over SSH) should work.

It's possible to set the same min/max protocol configuration from the LE settings add-on. No need for custom files.

Not possible. I bugged Kodi devs to promote it to the main menu for Krypton, but that's all that happened. It has very limited view options. Nothing has changed (so far) in Leia either.
