Install an SSH private key and disable password-auth in the LE settings add-on.

LE is a minimalist distro so we have no use for fdisk when parted covers the same capabilities and more.

I've been using the stock add-on from the Kodi repo on boxes for ages without issues. No need for all the hacking..

Also, what is going on with openELEC and LibreELEC? I don't get it, is openelec dead? Is it true all the developers moved over here? And why?

Let’s rock this gig! – LibreELEC <= that's the best explanation we'll make in public. The only thing that changed since is the number of active developers working on LE increased a load.

You can use "parted" but if you are trying to replicate the list of commands above you will have a problem with RAID as we [deliberately] do not have any support for software RAID in the OS so mdadm commands will fail. Use an Ubuntu LiveUSB instead of LE for tasks like this. You would be better off posting in a WD/NAS forum as fixing these things is outside our area of expertise.

Are you installing the YouTube add-on from the Kodi repo or from somewhere else?

We believe there is a memory leak in Amlogic builds as we see OOM issues on several devices (and sooner on ones with 1GB RAM) but we haven't been able to pin down the cause yet. No guarantees that's the issue though. I'm also conscious the 3.10 kernel used on older WeTek devices like the Core hasn't had quite the same level of developer love as the 3.14 kernel.

Each time someone comes up with an unpack/hack/repack/share modification the staff sigh deeply and another unicorn dies. Doing it for you own consumption if fine, but if you want to publicly share things you should be making an effort to learn the build-system and compile things properly from sources. This would also ensure you can easily publish your work on GitHub so that others can collaborate on the effort or benefit from it, with the added bonus of honouring your GPLv2 license obligations.

Thread locked. If you want to discuss hacking "ROMS" for other OS/platforms please do it in a more appropriate forum. Thanks.

Please post the FULL log not the bits you think are important, there is other information we want/need to see. Also use the OS log paste function so we don't have to scroll stuff in forum posts.

I have a ~5 year old Netgear WNDA3200 stick; they were given away (bundled with an ADSL router) by an ISP in the UK called "Virgin" (same brand as the airline; their logo is on the device) and lots of them found their way onto eBay for $10-15. It has Atheros AR7010+AR9280 inside. The Netgear WNDA3100 v1 is the Netgear brand version of the same devce, but there are now 2-3 newer versions and I have no idea what chips are inside those.

Core uses the add-ons we build for WeTek Play (same kernel etc. so they're compatible) but the folder alias was missing on the webserver. It should be working now if you try again.

feedvalidator.org is barfing on the cipher configuration used in our certs. We have certs from letsencrypt installed on the servers, although we front-end things with cloudflare who substitute their own versions ~ both orgs know what they're doing and issue valid certs. Most likely cause for the error they show is an outdated version of OpenSSL on their server. I'd guess the issue you're seeing on your RSS reader has a similar cause as "it works for me" in Vienna on macOS. There have been lots of fixes and changes to the default cipher configurations in SSL suites in the last 24 months so your OS or the app (if libs are embedded) need to be recent else things break.

No idea. I'll share opinion on drivers but I don't recommend specific products unless I've used them personally.

Install a current alpha build and test again.

There is a significant difference between rooting a TV to add another application or fiddle with configuration, and rooting it to run a replacement OS on the internal TV hardware. Unless someone would like to donate a bunch of 65"+ 4k OLED TV's to the team for testing and experimentation (we're open to offers!) it's not likely to happen.

The ability to disable lirc from LE settings will probably appear in the next alpha build.

I've no objection to a sample systemd .service file being included as we do for some other things (and some wiki documentation) but VLAN's are a niche requirement so there's no need to complicate the GUI for the other 99.99% of users.
