Purely for the sake of experimentation, someone should self-build an image that drops this patch:

LibreELEC.tv/connman-01-do-not-cleanup-routes.patch at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

The usual reason is an outdated version of PuTTY which is trying to connect using ciphers LibreSSL dropped in the wake of various major SSL security issues in recent years. Clear cached key profiles in the SSH client and update it and that usually solves the problem. And the SD card has two partitions; one is FAT32 (readable on anything) with a few boot files only and the other which maps to /storage is EXT4 which Windows and macOS haven't a clue about, hence you cannot see anything of interest.

or cheat and add as a dependency to one of the existing virtual packages (or any package really)

NB: Always make a backup and move it off-box first, then it's easy to recover if something goes wrong.

muetzekoeln: You can install the network tools add-on which includes 'wireless_tools' and use iwconfig with an autostart.sh script to force changes to the wireless radio configuration after boot. It's hacky and I don't have a nicely typed guide for you to follow, but it can be done.

I didn't hear of anyone building LE for XU4, so best to ask in Odroid forums.

If you are running Kodi Helix (v15) you are running OpenELEC not LibreELEC .. so watch the "how to migrate" video:

We are happy to add missing firmware files, but you need to provide us with the original upstream source location for the files. We cannot just add things that people post to a forum. Thanks

19:36:28  40.400620 T:1777333152 WARNING: No information found for item '/media/TV Shows 2Tb/', it won't be added to the library.
19:36:28  40.404320 T:1777333152   DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: No (new) information was found in dir /media/TV Shows 2Tb/

Kodi uses hashing to detect changes in the media folders and cannot see anything "new" in the folders so skips scraping. If things didn't originally scrape it's probably issues with the folder/file naming structure you're using. Fix that and then "scan for new content" and it will appear. Naming is the main issue that people have with scraping.

/etc/os-release should provide info on practically all Linux OS. Have a look at the OpenVPN service template in /storage/.config/system.d too

change PKG_VERSION in packages/x11/driver/xf86-video-nvidia-legacy/package.mk

If the driver throws an error on compilation it's probably missing a patch to build 304.131 against a Linux 4.7 kernel. The solution is to use Google to find the patch. I normally look at the driver packages for Arch linux, as Arch runs a current kernel and will need the same patch.

The command "xrandr" will list the adapters, resolutions and rates they support, e.g.

LibreELEC:~ # xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
DVI-I-0 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 160mm x 90mm
   1920x1080     60.00 +  59.94*   50.00    29.97    25.00    24.00    23.98  
DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

Then you can change the Xorg display using:

xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 60.00

However, this setting is not persistent over a reboot. There are two options; hacky and good. If you add commands to /storage/.config/autostart.sh (which does not exist by default) they will be re-run on each boot:

(
sleep 10
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 60.00
)&

but the better way is to set the in system settings. In normal LE this can be done in Kodi settings. I'd guess there is a similar function in PMP, but having never used it I cannot say - you're posting in the wrong forum for Plex/PMP expertise

If you are selecting a local file in Step 2 you are not downloading anything so Step 1 is (correctly) blanked. If you reselect something in Step 1 you are no longer using a local file so the previously selected item in Step 2 is (correctly) blanked.

No bug here to be fixed

Nobody is going to make a specific build for you box (unless you pay them, but even then unlikely) but you can investigate the S802 community build from drieschel - it may work on your device.

Create a system.d service, it will be more reliable than autostart.sh hacks. Read the sample in /storage/.config/system.d/cifs.mount.sample

Quote from outcave

I don't want to leave Hide.me, now I'm using it without problems with LibreELEC version 7.0.2. For the future? May be I will compile OpenSSL and overwrite to LibreSSL

It will fix your VPN, but will also break binary compatibility with everything else that uses SSL (and expects LibreSSL). Not impossible, but not a quick change either. You energies would be more productive figuring out the patch/hack for LibreSSL ..

eBay shows "KingDian" 8GB SSD's for £10 delivered from HK to the UK, so postage to Ireland should be similar. They won't be taxing a brand-name device for ultimate speed or long-term reliability, but LE runs in RAM after boot anyway, and at that price who cares. You can buy three and have one spare..

Just SCP things to /storage and they should run. You can always bind-mount things to other locations if they really need to exist in other location. If they are static build they should just work. If not static, we may have the deps, or not..

NB: Are these binaries that we build but don't copy into the image .. or binaries from another package that we don't have in our build system?
