Any suggestions?

I've an old E6400 which gets used for testing once in a while. Suspend type stuff worked once in the past but never since I updated the firmware about 4 years ago. Solution = don't use old laptops with crap firmware as HTPC devices.

Display overscan is ideally solved by setting the TV to some kind of "Just scan" setting instead of forcing 16:9. If that's not possible you can go into Kodi and calibrate the screen output for each refresh rate that you will use; i.e. if you calibrate at the default 60Hz you also need to repeat at 23.98 (23.976Hz) and 50Hz (PAL 25Hz x2) etc.

I've never tried it myself, but that should be all that's required.

We accept user contributions for things the community wants but we (team) aren't likely to develop things that aren't Kodi related. That's the current approach and it seems fair to me.

Follow instructions in the cis.mount.sample or nfs.mount.sample files in /storage/.config/system.d/

Any alternatives chewitt?

Nope.

If there is cam support from any of the home automation suites; there are docker containers for most of them and RPi images support docker.

Are you using a private DNS addressing scheme with .local addresses in your network?

LE is a fairly small project so broad distro support for building is "nice to have" not "must have" and most people use Ubuntu simply because it has a critical mass of LE builders and works, which eliminates the effort of chasing down esoteric build problems requiring deep expertise. Unfortunately the widespread use of Ubuntu means asking for help on "other distro" build issues can be challenging because few people are doing the same and can offer advice. If you do figure things out we are alway happy for people to submit changes on GitHub that improve things!

There is no Hyperion-NG add-on in our repo so there is nothing to update to the latest build. From past experience if we leap on things too early we get loads of whiny sh1ts posting and complaining about bugs, and we have better things to do with our time. Once Hyperion NG progresses beyond "pre alpha" we can revisit the topic.

You need to submit lots of code to Kodi so that it supports multi-screen configurations for control/playback. In other words; not currently possible.

Try labelling the drives to give them "names" .. the 1.42.6-5644 looks like something the kernel autocreates in the absence of a label.

Just for kicks, disable UPnP sharing in Kodi.

cd /storage/.update
wget http://url-of-update-file
reboot

^ manual update

Go into the LE settings add-on and do a hard reset .. this erases the content of /storage and puts you back in the same state as a clean install.

As a general statement the on-board wireless "could be better" and it's worth running a cable to use Ethernet.

Kodi debug log file please, via pastebin

You need to login and paste the logs after about 30 seconds. If you leave it for 4-5 mins (as the above attempt does) the crappy Amlogic kernel has logged so many hdmi errors the log buffer is starting to FIFO rotate and the early boot messages we're trying to see are missing.

Analogue audio already works on many devices. Do we have to guess what your device is?

The irony of iMX6 is that it's one of the most widely used and best documented chipsets available. However, going forward we will not adopt new SoC platforms without mainline support or a clear and achievable path towards it.
