I'm sure it can be made to work; in the past I created an experimental MT7601U package for OpenELEC that worked and the drivers are similar, but "working" and "supportable" are different things. The driver requires configuration via a user-editable file, which is not how things are done in any modern Linux and certainly not in an embedded distro. Mediatek drivers make Realtek ones look polished so I will reject any attempt to add their current drivers to our images. You're welcome to make your own custom image though.

If you end up with a working/reliable add-on, please consider submitting it to our repo.

"journalctl -b 0 --no-pager | paste" and share the URL generated after a clean boot where the wireless is not on

There are no plans to include this driver in release builds because it is not cfg80211 compliant and looks like it was written by first year CS student, although that's insulting most first year CS students. Mediatek need to get their sh1t together and provide a proper driver.

cat /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi_crashlog_20170512125355.log | paste

send some crashlog's to sprunge and share the URLs

Commits · kodi-pvr/pvr.argustv · GitHub

still shows some development.

If you can provide a URL to a pastebin'd debug log that shows the error(s) that would be best.

The only links that will not work are old alpha/beta links that are no longer relevant.

LibreELEC.tv/linux.arm.conf at libreelec-8.0-sX05 · kszaq/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

if you are using @kszaq's S805 image and the chipset is the same one the other user identified, the driver is enabled in the kernel. This means it should work, although how well it works appears to be in question.

Google doesn't reveal much for that chipset so it's hard to comment.

It needs to be added to kernel boot params in syslinux.conf or extlinux.conf (whichever is used)

mount -o remount,rw /flash
nano /flash/extlinux.conf
add the changes to kernel boot params in extlinux.conf, save and exit
mount -o remount,ro /flash
reboot

I already told you on Facebook that you need to provide information on the chipset inside the device. Then (and only then) can we investigate what is required to support the device. e.g. run "lsusb | paste" over SSH and share the URL generated so we can see the device IDs.

12:38:34.560 NOTICE: Running on DroidBOX iMXQPro_v2 with Android 6.0.1 API level 23, kernel: Linux ARM 32-bit version 3.14.29

this means you are running Android, not LibreELEC. I suggest you post in the Droidbox forums.

It probably just works, but no guarantees. Most pi users opt for a GPIO HAT audio card.

There are no torrent and related add-ons in our repo because we are a mediacentre distro and providing the tools for you to steal content in addition to being an excellent playback OS isn't going to happen.

If you are streaming direct from an original source, e.g. BBC iPlayer streamed from the BBC site and you are geographically in the UK and have paid the license fee; then streams are legitimate. If you are in a different country from the original sources and you are accessing them via a streaming provider who offers hundreds of channels from all over the world it is 99.999% certain that you are funding a criminal enterprise illegally rebroadcasting content for profit without consent of the original copyright holders. In laymans terms you are a pirate. And that means no further support in this forum.

Provide debug log files that prove otherwise and support can resume.

If you want to record TV use VDR or TVheadend - they have recording functions. If you are using IPTV streams via something like IPTV-simple they are almost certainly illegally re-broadcast (pirate) streams and we have no interest in helping you record stolen content. If you would like to provide debug logs that show/prove otherwise we are happy to investigate/help further.

Going by reports here and in other forums, the BT on RPi3 is not its best feature.
