Please post the whole debug log from clean boot and including an attempt to install the add-on

LE is not really designed to work with multiple different GPU types active and Kodi is not brilliant with multiple monitors, so you probably need to disable the onboard nVidia VGA in the BIOS if you want the AMD HDMI output to work reliably.

Enable CEC and use the TV remote?

Have a play with current alpha builds, i've seen multiple comments about BT stability being better (although not in a pulse audio context).

This is information from addons.xml on our webserver, showing service.multimedia.vdr-addon exists. Perhaps enable debug logging and see if there are errors being logged. Make sure you don't have old OE config causing problems.

Have u installed OpenVPN as well? try installing this zip for openvpn

Err.. you realise that OpenVPN is fully embedded in the OS don't you, so that's not required.

Maybe i can install libreelec windows version and test it with keyboard.

last time I looked (and i'm pretty confident on this) we don't run on Windows

I don't have any 802.11ac capable kit so it's not a requirement for me.

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.
