"tar -xvf backupfile.tar -C /storage/stuff" should unpack things into /storage/stuff overriding the embedded paths. Just untar the backup to a specific subfolder on the (new) SD card and then "systemctl stop kodi" before moving things around as required and "systemctl start kodi" when done.

NB: An older OE install has probably accumulated a fair chunk of cruft over time so I'd be selective and only move Thumbs/DB's and sources.xml over to start. I'd reinstall add-ons new from repo's and only copy configs over if needed.

Is this on a Raspberry Pi .. if yes, what model?

[ 4.584266] RTL871X: ERROR invalid mac addr:00:00:00:00:00:00, assign random MAC

Manufacturers can save $$ if they do not acquire a block of MAC addresses that require each chipset to be programmed with a unique identifier. Finding devices with ^ no MAC is an increasing trend among cheap USB wireless devices.

It's possible to force a specific MAC using udev rules but it's better done via kernel boot params as these are effected when the driver module loads at boot time. Right now I've forgotten how to do it .. I'll need to Google.

I'm wondering if you are backing up an XBMC install from /storage/.xbmc and restoring to /storage/.xbmc which will not be detected and migrated by Kodi which runs from /storage/.kodi .. ??

There are some Allwinner H3 images in circulation (via other websites, not here) but H6 requires new video driver code to be written. It is work in progress, but will be some time before things are ready for public alpha testing.

Chromium only runs on the Generic (x86_64) project. It has never been available for RPi hardware (no Xorg used there).

Also no.

Enigma2 is nothing to do with LE/Kodi

Services > SMB Client

From the lack of information shared, all we can suggest is "go read this" infrared_remotes [LibreELEC]

Similar (dmesg content is in the journal) but not exactly the same.

If the Windows server is using SMB1 you need to configure the Kodi SMB client for SMB1. This is done in Kodi settings - it has nothing to do with the completely separate SMB server configuration in LE settings.

Post in English please.

You are compiling an unsupported and incomplete development branch.

The connection manager stores network profiles via hardware MAC address, and your device is probably configured with 00:00:00:00 so each time you reboot the kernel assigns a new random MAC. This does not match any existing stored profiles, so you need to configure the network (again).

"dmesg | paste" and share the URL generated to confirm.

Not supported. Subtitles for a live stream need to be embedded in the stream (in which case there is no need to look them up).

From the live USB mount the first partition on the SSD and find extlinux.conf. There are two; one in the root folder, or if the box is EFI booting you need to edit the second in the EFI subfolder. Just add the same radeon.dpm=0 to boot params.
