An occasional spring clean is never a bad idea.

If you boot noobs lite you can just install LE from the menu - it will install 8.0.0 since an hour ago.

If you want to add LE to an existing noobs install the files required are here:

LibreELEC-RPi.arm-8.0.0-noobs.tar (RPi)
LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.0-noobs.tar (RPi2)

add "debugging" to cmdline.txt and you will see on-screen output from journald that is normally hidden; it might give you a clue

Chromium doesn't exist for RPi hardware (it needs Xorg) but you can install the YouTube add-on from the Kodi repo.

It would be a good idea for someone to run the nvidia bug reporting shell script that's included in the Linux driver package against an affected system and submit the bug report to them - don't ever assume someone else has reported the issue and it's known/being worked on. Once you get a support ticket, share here or PM to me and I can run enquiries with their driver team.

run "lspci | paste" and share the URL it generates so we can see what chipset is on the board; then we can figure out what might be needed

It's not possible. You can try asking the Estuary v2 skin developers for an enhancement via Kodi forums.

systemctl stop kodi.service
mv /storage/.kodi /storage/.kodi-old
systemctl start kodi.service

will give you a clean Kodi instance without reinstalling. It's easy to stop/start Kodi to move working bits of the old configuration to the new one.

dmnc If you're using an Intel GPU device you will need to enable DRI3 via xorg.conf to avoid the graphical issues. It's not possible for us to set that by default as it screws things up for too many people (not a large audience, but a lot more than a handful).

I think we (and upstream) reached the point where if Airplay works, it's a miracle. It should be dropped from Kodi and replaced with something else that's less prone to breakage from Apple.

New1 make sure you're not trying to write the SD card using an image you downloaded to the same SD card .. we see that occasionally

It's something we might add in 9.0 but it will remain a manual process as display settings don't always map to geographic location, e.g. I'm English so want UK formatting on things, but live somewhere else which would require a non-UK regdomain. I believe Raspbian has a config option for wireless in the noobs initial set-up wizard, but again it's a manual process.

Select the AC3 audio track and there is probably less CPU load and it will play better? (although in stereo)

You can disable update notifications, but only on/off and not during playback. Kodi has no status flag we can use to detect playback and not-send the notification, or any way to suppress the notifications we send.

due to presence of pirate add-ons no further support will be provided

echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=DE" > /storage/.config/wifi.conf
reboot

If you set wireless regulatory domain to somewhere that supports channels 12/13 they will appear. It defaults to the General world regdomain though, which does not allow them.

If you go back in git history for the Virtual project you will find packages for vbox. They were removed from Virtual a few months ago as vbox drivers are broken frequently (causing compile problems) and staff all use vmware so they weren't required. You will also see recent changes in master branch to add the vmware drivers into the Generic image (removing Virtual). If you combine the approach (putting stuff into Generic) but with vbox packages you will get your unreliable and frequently broken wish for vbox support. That's as far as Help on the topic will go though; IMHO if you want to run vbox in docker go use Ubuntu instead of LE and life will be a lot easier.

Ithildir78 there are a ton of piracy repo's/add-ons installed on your box so we refuse further support.

vegeto_10 your hardware is different to the OP so likely a completely different issue, start your own thread and provide appropriate logs
