Sounds like an add-on that needs to be marked broken and removed from the Kodi repo until the author fixes it to work on Krypton.

Until Full Disclosure: [Kodi v17.1] - Local File Inclusion is fixed exposing the Kodi web interface to the internet is a really dumb move. If your employer has half a clue about security they will be blocking non-standard ports like 8080/9981.

I don't really understand what you're trying to achieve. Playing and recording content to a NAS doesn't require playercorefactory changes. The only video player we embed in our distro is ffmpeg. If you're following some guide that recommends to use alternative player binaries via playercorefactory you need to choose a non-embedded distro where you can install things, e.g. Ubuntu.

That depends on your definition of perfectly. Our official view is that it's a hack to be discouraged. It is not perfect.

most add-ons store metadata in /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/ so look there

Correct.

Everything is possible but there is no interest in adding this or other drive crypto things to official releases; largely because if we add one we'll be asked to add others and that bloats our codebase with complex niche features that very few people will ever use. It's the type of things that should be handled via an add-on in our add-on repo that the community maintains.

Unless your network is dysfunctional SMB is perfectly fine for sharing.

Add "tty" or "debugging" to kernel boot params in extlinux.conf (in the first partition on the boot disk) and a console will be available on CTRL+ALT+F3. The first just gives the console. The second also puts various subsystems into extra (and persistent) logging mode; as well as having the console.

I ignore zip files attached to forum posts. If someone else wants to review the above they're welcome. Otherwise i'll wait until our log posting guidelines are followed and a sprunge.us or pastebin.com URL link is provided.

There's a paste function in LE 8.0 settings add-on that sends logs to sprunge.us and shows the URL on-screen, but that doesn't address the OP's requirement of sending to a syslog server.

You can install the rsyslog add-on from the LE add-on repo.

Your log shows piracy add-ons installed so support stops here. You'll probably find removing them solves the problem - we see regular issues with pirate crapware accessing the DB at startup to self-enable, install more crap, and deliberately break 'competing' add-ons.

echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=DE" > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf

RPi3 defaults to a safe "global" wireless regulatory domain, but this only sees channels 1-11 and may not be fully compatible with the radio properties of some access points that are using a local-country regdomain. The above sets the regdomain for Germany (DE) and other locations generally follow the normal ISO country codes; GB, RU, CN, US, etc.

Have a look at MusicBrainz 'Pickard' .. it's much (much) more than a tag editor, but if you want to cure a whole bunch of other tagging related things that you're probably unaware of in your library and ensure your media scrapes correctly it's the best option.

It's something we already do in Generic/x86_64 with Chromium. The main use-case we've seen is access to services like Netflix or Amazon which also need flash or widevine support. It's probably not too hard to create/package netsurf as an add-on, but would it support those services?

In Kodi Jarvis favourites is a buried item with a star shortcut on the Kodi home screen. In Krypton favourites has been promoted to a top-level item on the home screen (if you have it exposed in skin settings) so there is no need for the star shortcut. In other skins the decision to show anything is up to the skin author.

add "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi" to /flash/config.txt and reboot
