That figure sounds about right for Raspberry Pi hardware. Pi networking is designed to be functional not high performance, and it is "good enough" for playing media from a NAS device somewhere else in the network. It will never equal the throughputs seen on a desktop/laptop with fast internal bus speeds and a 20x faster CPU.

delz We don't care about personal legal/illegal beliefs because everything is allowed somewhere on the internet and banned somewhere else. We do care that you have an add-on installed that exists to openly encourage the consumption of pirated content. Please understand that if you ask for support in this forum it will now be refused until we see debug log evidence that shows Q**** has been removed.

I use an addon with Kodi which streams legal movies which are so old that no one can claim the copyright. If they are in 2160p you need 15+++ GB available for streaming. I only bought a s912 device with 32 GB. I regret it. I want 64 GB.
^ You only need crazy amounts of storage if you download full movies before watching or use wildly inappropriate buffer settings.

RPi3 can boot directly from a USB drive if you're unduly paranoid about SD card wear. Google the USB boot instructions on the Pi Foundation website.

TimeCapsules' have some weird SMB implementation from Apple. In the following thread I figured out how to get something working.

It probably needs an authenticated connection.

Retroplayer has no Game DB to save things like emulator to at the moment. It needs something thinking about .. but it will come.

"tar -xvf backupfile.tar -C /storage/stuff" should unpack things into /storage/stuff overriding the embedded paths. Just untar the backup to a specific subfolder on the (new) SD card and then "systemctl stop kodi" before moving things around as required and "systemctl start kodi" when done.
NB: An older OE install has probably accumulated a fair chunk of cruft over time so I'd be selective and only move Thumbs/DB's and sources.xml over to start. I'd reinstall add-ons new from repo's and only copy configs over if needed.

Is this on a Raspberry Pi .. if yes, what model?

Manufacturers can save $$ if they do not acquire a block of MAC addresses that require each chipset to be programmed with a unique identifier. Finding devices with ^ no MAC is an increasing trend among cheap USB wireless devices.
It's possible to force a specific MAC using udev rules but it's better done via kernel boot params as these are effected when the driver module loads at boot time. Right now I've forgotten how to do it .. I'll need to Google.

I'm wondering if you are backing up an XBMC install from /storage/.xbmc and restoring to /storage/.xbmc which will not be detected and migrated by Kodi which runs from /storage/.kodi .. ??

There are some Allwinner H3 images in circulation (via other websites, not here) but H6 requires new video driver code to be written. It is work in progress, but will be some time before things are ready for public alpha testing.

Chromium only runs on the Generic (x86_64) project. It has never been available for RPi hardware (no Xorg used there).

Enigma2 is nothing to do with LE/Kodi
