It's hard to comment. Apart from poor range we're not aware of any issues with the RPi3 onboard wifi .. and without some error messages to guide investigation there isn't much to go on.

You have pirate crapware installed on your box. No support will be provided in this forum until a debug log shows a clean box.

LE has Samba which can share files. It does not share 'movies' in the sense that it does not format/convert/stream specially for phone use. Your phone will also need Kodi or an app like VLC that understands how to read/play the files.

You'll also find Kodi forums are the place where all their add-on developers hang out.

You also need to read post #4

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requests to their add-on repo to mirror servers so it's possible the mirror that you are being sent to has bad/outdated information, but the mirrroring software normally stops that.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.

read post #4 again

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.
