No idea, but since you are clearly playing stolen (torrented) media, support stops here.

I've confirmed via private channels that Gordon is aware that it's dead. I've not received any explanation or confirmation/denial that it will spring back into existence. At least for now I get my wish that people would post here for issues with the LE images ~ I get bored of checking in multiple places.

You're preaching to the converted. The difference between OE and LE is that one-man-project OE enabled Samba 4 without testing first. LE likes to test and so far we noticed some issues with Kodi (which depends on the OS libsmbclient implementation). We are still investigating some changes and dead code clear-up in Kodi, e.g. removing incorrect smb.conf configuration and hacks that date back to Xbox days.

I dropped a note to distrowatch asking them to amend our profile and remove i386. It's still technically possible to create i386 images if you add back support to various build-system packages and compile the image yourself, but it's not something we'll do officially.

Not currently, but it will be possible in the future once the changeable passwords PR has been merged.

He also sent the wrong log, i.e. didn't follow the explicit instructions given. Ho hum..

cd /storage
systemctl stop kodi.service
rm -rf .kodi/temp/*
tar -cvf backup.tar .kodi .cache .config
systemctl start kodi.service

That's basically what the backup routine does (except the cleanup of temp, which is just a good idea). Watch the on-screen output for errors, warnings and long time delays where it gets stuck and has to wait for something.

No, it's an archive file (tar on Linux is like zip on Win). Create a new install using the normal install process then restore the backup. The amount of time you spend looking for a one-step "does everything" process/tool is longer than you'll spend doing the two-step restore.

^ acestream is a piracy tool. No further support in this forum.

Samba update is tentatively scheduled for an 8.2 release we'll do over the summer after Linux 4.12 ships. There are some issues with SMB browsing via Kodi with newer version(s) of Samba that we are still trying to understand.

The version of Samba we use is not vulnerable to the SMB exploit as compile options we set disable the vulnerable code path.

NB: DisplayPort has been supported for a long time and works - on latest generation NUC device it's the only way of getting HD audio to work. If it does not work for you it's down to a combination of your hardware, BIOS firmware, bad connectors or PEBKAC.

Which OS/distro and version are you building on?

LE will create a GPT scheme by default but as long as the scheme created (MBR or GPT) is valid we don't care. Gparted can create MBR things too.

Stephan Raue doesn't have a good record or reputation for communication and his refusal to discuss anything is the single largest reason for the split. Persuade him to attend Kodi DevCon in October - then a bunch of us can sit down together in-person over beers and talk. There are some challenges but none of the founding LE team who came from OE wanted to fork; it was an action of last resort after months of exhausting all other options and being ignored.

Read post #2. It will not be an exact copy of the card, but you only need the data on the card, not an image of the card. I never understand why people waste time creating an 8GB or 16GB image of their card when you can have a 1GB (max, it's often a lot less) backup file. Ho hum.

The releases sever does not currently support HTTPS connections. This will change when we complete a server move, which is a little overdue but on the team short term to-do list.

Do not post URL links to that website in this forum please. It exists solely to profit from piracy and its continued existence harms Kodi.

Install the dispmanx add-on. You might need to force-update the repo (context click on it) if no add-ons are listed.

Textedit.app is fine as long as you convert the file to plain text, the default is rich text.
