Netflix is working in Kodi Leia (pre-Alpha) builds. It will not run on Kodi Krypton. The add-on is available from the Kodinerds repo. Last time I checked (a couple of months back) the add-on was due an update to automatically installed the required widevine.so library, but that might have happened since. No idea about Hulu as I'm on the wrong continent for that service.

Check for free space on the internal storage. You will need approx 2.5x the size of the 8.2.2 image free (about 327MB) for update to succeed. If you are low on space it's possible to download the .tar update file and uncompress on another machine, copy to USB, then copy kernel.img and SYSTEM over from the USB to the /storage/.update folder. This negates some steps in the update process. You can also free space by running "systemctl stop kodi" and then "rm -rf /storage/.kodi/temp" then "systemctl start kodi" .. anything in the temp folder can be binned safely. Another location to prune is the cache of installed add-on packages in /storage/.kodi/addons/packages/

You can play around with profile to limit options.

Add the DNS record to Win10's hosts file, then it will always resolve.

I'd ask that the LE repo is removed and forked properly before the branch is then re-added. This allows cross-fork comparison so changes made can be easily seen and understood. The way it's currently been done, comparison is awkward.

How is this relevant to LibreELEC ?

No discussion or recommendation of Acestream in these forums. It's sole purpose is piracy.

Kodi is started (and managed) by systemd. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Change Kodi to use MMAL not OMXplayer?

Quote from ymmvic

I think that Libreelec is mostly used by people who reuse old hardware. If delelopers think otherwise - then this project is already DEAD (or in active process of decaying)... IMHO...

I base my knowledge of our userbase on facts (we track this kind of thing) not humble opinions. The facts are (and have been since our inception) that we focus on dedicated HTPC devices; we do not intentionally support old hardware and laptops. If old junk works, that's great. If it doesn't, our standard response to any user is "head on over to Ubuntu, they support old stuff better than we do" and there are no plans to change that.

Or use LE 8.2.2 and set the "legacy security" option in the GUI (added in the 8.2.2 release). No need to visit the console.

Do I have to answer the question again? At what point do you get off the fence and believe the answer?

You are probably downloading source code zip files from GitHub (which will have incorrect structure) instead of built/compiled source zip files. This would be best described as "user error" ..

LE runs fine (slowly, but fine) on RPi1 devices with 512MB RAM.

Set a static DHCP reservation in the router or DHCP server, then DNS resolution doesn't break and interfaces don't need to be restarted.

Kodi debug log and "dmesg" log

Old laptops are not target hardware so there is no PCMCIA support in the OS, which narrows your choices. On the USB Ethernet front, it's always a bit of a gamble as it's never possible to tell which chipset is used from the box/packaging, but in practice there are only 2-3 usb ethernet chipsets in use and the drivers for those are included.
