    Running a torrent client is not a banned practice because bittorrent does have legitimate uses. However it's quite obvious from the log that you are using yours to steal the new Baywatch movie using a torrent file from TPB. This project does not endorse content theft/piracy and this is not one of the legitimate uses of bittorent we might entertain support for.

    I doubt there is any programmatic method to tell Kodi "wait until this python add-on command has finished" so as it shuts down slice.service is forcibly unloaded and that terminates playback of the shutdown LED pattern. The overall OS shutdown process does have a dependency on unmounting HDD(s) so if they respond differently in terms of time (which I think is likely) the pattern will play for a different time period. It might be possible to add a systemd service to the Slice image that runs a simple delay/countdown .. but figuring that out (as I'm no systemd expert) will be a super-super-low priority. If others want to poke around and figure it out, it would be welcome.

    The same file is used for normal rewind and faster rewind, but maybe something in the python? (as I don't do/read python):

    LibreELEC.tv/default.py at slice-8.2 · chewitt/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

    No drivers seem to be activated.

    I can't see a Xbox type driver anywhere in Device Manager.

    That's because the LibreELEC USB/SD creator app does not install Pi Foundation CM drivers. You've imagined that capability :)

    Flashing the Compute Module eMMC - Raspberry Pi Documentation

    tells you to install this: rpiboot_setup.exe

    Using Win7 I have never seen/experienced the drivers executing rpiboot.exe automatically, but manually connecting the box, running rpiboot.ext with admin rights, then applying power, seems to work. Once the eMMC storage shows up in Windows you can run the USB/SD app to image it.

    kszaq, can you tell me, what is the situation with libreelec for RK3399 with ARM Mali-T860 MP4 Quad-Core GPU?

    Completely unsupported and no near-term plan to support.

    I found instruction, how to install Ubuntu on FireFly board with that CPU - Firefly-RK3399/Build Ubuntu rfs/en - Firefly wiki .

    Does Ubuntu contains Mali-T860 drivers?

    You're asking questions about hardware we don't support on an OS we don't support. Please go ask in the Ubuntu forums.

    The update process only replaces files in /flash it does not touch /storage in any way. So update vs. clean install is all about Kodi caching or config and not the type of update file used or the actual update process.

    I've seen the random green LED (nearest power socket) a few times on both 8.0.2 and 8.1.0 and I have no clue. I'm wondering if some extra blank pixels need to be added to ensure the LED's are cleared in some scenarios?

    "It works in Windows" because Windows blindly trusts whatever disk/partition geometry data is presented to the OS before it goes ahead and mounts the partitions on the storage device. In comparison; Linux validates the geometry data presented to prevent data loss issues. In this case the partition data is invalid so Linux correctly refuses to mount the damaged partitions. Id guess the SD card is going bad, or there are traces of previous partition schemes on the storage that cause conflict.

    Use our USB/SD creator app to restore bootsector.img to the SD card then reformat the media in Windows (any format scheme you like) and try again.
