The update function in LE settings checks official servers for official LE images. We have never released an image for generic Android boxes so you must be running something community created; hence nothing is listed when you check for updates. Some of the community image creators also take liberties with version numbers and content, which explains why 8.0.2 on your box does not have Kodi 17.3 like our official 8.0.2 release.

I've moved the thread to the Amlogic section of the forum where the offending community creators hang out

You can make LED patterns in gimp. It's not a web-app but it does the job.

It sounds like a routing issue; either the router is not routing between Ethernet and WAN interfaces when in wireless bridge mode or the DHCP server isn't providing a gateway so you can only ping things within the local subnet. If LE works when the router configuration is rather points the finger at the router being the issue is (which isn't our domain of expertise) not LE.

My personal preference has always been to aim for the least number of boxes vs. trying to eek out value in old purchases. I'd get the new expensive single-box VDSL+ router and eBay the old one to partially offset the cost.

I can see some historic cruft from OE days is installed so I'd clean install LE to a spare SD card with the minimal configuration for MySQL and see what happens. No guarantees that's the answer, but a spring clean often helps.

That's all, but a possible typo: use alsa-base.conf not alsa-base

There are quite a few other model=blah options available for Mac mini/laptop devices that you can try but those are the most common. I've never found a single comprehensive list of them though.

On macOS it's a simple open/close on the bottom-right of the window.

Answer to the original question is "no" ..

When we dropped support from OE (about 3.5 years ago) there were approx. 1,500 total i386 users in 400k+ active installations. The decision to drop was about saving time/effort during x86 development and was never about whether 32-bit things could be built. There are numerous other platforms that remain 32-bit which ensures a level of compatibility if you patch support back in.

GitHub - maideii/LibreELEC.tv-Intel-i386: Just enough OS for KODI might be worth a look if you self-build.

I wouldn't make it more complicated than exposing a list of supported actions and allowing users to set an alternative /path/to/pattern.png

Quote from RobzInadE

The chip is S812-H in my box (H i think stands for hardware acceleration or something like that)

The -H designation means additional licensing fees have been paid, e.g. Dolby DTS, Widevine and PlayReady. This enhances playback capabilities for things like Netflix under Android but has no impact on Linux where there are no native DRM capabilities. It normally indicates a more reputable box as the far-east manufacturers racing for the "cheapest box" title aren't going to pay for something that's not essential.

You shouldn't need to create things twice (as Iridium describes) but not "ejecting" the SD card before removing will result in an unclean filesystem and Linux frequently refuses to boot from unclean filesystems.

If you want support provide a Kodi debug log that shows a clean system.

Samba 3.6.5 in LE 8.0.2 only speaks SMB1 and Win10 after the creators update only speaks SMB2+ so nothing can be reconfigured to work. Your options are a) updating to a current Milhouse (which is Kodi Leia) or self-build version of the forthcoming LE beta based on our 8.2 (still Krypton) branch, or you wait patiently for the 8.2 beta/release. Those contain Samba 4.6 which supports SMB2+ out of the box.

Hyperion is in our add-on repo (and Hypercon to match is on the wiki) and should work fine as-is today with most of the frame-grabber based Ambilight kits. Normal "pi" kits that use the GPIO pins won't be compatible as those interfaces aren't on the rear of a Slice box. In theory it's should be possible to drive something from one of the USB ports but that needs some tinkering and (based on previous conversations with Gordon) possibly driver support. I am slowly acquiring the physical parts to investigate and post-vacation I have a working Slice (CM3) box again, but I don't code so wouldn't be able to complete the task unaided, and for various reasons it's currently super-low on my personal priority list.

I was reading Arch Linux on The Surface Pro 4 | John Ramsden and you probably need to disable "secure boot" in the BIOS in addition to changing the boot order, but that's a random guess.

"Select" or "Save here" would be more accurate; you are selecting the folder/location to download into.

Thread moved.

Set the Skin to Confluence before updating, then update. The skin will switch to Estuary on update, but it won't throw errors. Now you can install the updated (Krypton compatible) version of Aeon Nox from the Kodi repo (if it doesn't update automatically) and switch back.
