You need to add a font that supports Hindi characters to /storage/.kodi/media/Fonts/ and reboot. If there is no translation for a string (which is likely if the content is only 18% complete) you should see English characters in the GUI.

You need to enable debug logging in Kodi or the log tells us nothing of use. Thanks.

Do "cat /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log | paste" in future then share the URL generated, it's easier to read than pastebin

The easier way was to just drop the update .tar file into the 'updates' samba share on the OE box and reboot. Clean reinstall doesn't achieve much if you dirty it up straight away by restoring everything from the backup

The add-on need a version bump so it's rebuilt against the newer kernel in 7.90.004. It's a simple job; should be done in the next day or so.

There will be no major advantage right now, but over time add-on compatibility will become an issue. I got all changes for a Jarvis release completed in github (everything compiles) but there was a boot issue when I tried it on a box and since then I've either been travelling with work or on vacation so there's been no progress. Sadly it's a low priority vs. everything else here and someone with more time available needs to pick up the challenge.

Alex (sukovalex/kerber) was creating OE builds for some Amlogic (not Amilog) based boxes in the past (and maybe LE builds in the near-future) and has private access to some reverse engineered DVB driver code that is not currently available in any LE builds, but once the driver code has evolved further the code should be made public (under GPL) and we can maybe include support. There are no guarantees on when that will happen.

Generally LE (and OE before) supports a range of DVB devices; particularly USB devices that could be used on a variety of platforms (not just Amlogic) but there are many DVB devices from many vendors in circulation (more than we can keep track of) so we cannot give a more specific answer on support unless you tell us the specific chipset that's inside a specific box.

NB: There are at least 30+ far-east manufacturers selling interpretations of "mini M8S" boxes (all racing each other to cut-corners and be cheapest) so even if you find people who recently loaded LE on an mM8S box there is no guarantee of how it will perform on yours. Overall it's probably still better than Android but don't expect perfection.

Popt is not currently built/used by anything else in the build-system so you will need to create a popt package and add this as a dependency to the shairport-sync package. We also use LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL, but that's probably a minor difference.

The OpenVPN binary is already embedded, so there is nothing to install.

I'm wondering what LE build you're using? because in a standard LE 7.0 or 8.0 build you would need to download pvr.hts (it is not pre-embedded) and the add-on files would be in /storage/.kodi/addons

OE's 7.x beta and LE's released 7.x builds are technically very similar so all should just work. Take a backup in OE and move it off-box first, to be safe, then update.

This thread is now locked to prevent you from wasting more of the limited personal time we have to expend on user support. We will use the seconds saved on someone else who can follow basic instructions. Good luck.

If we appear rude it's because we find people who ask for help and then refuse to provide information are a waste of our time, which is rude. If you are confident there is nothing in log files with extra debugging enabled, we are confident there is no further help we can provide. Issue closed.

No, it's something that needs to be disabled in the kernel. Hopefully linux: disable UAS on pi kernels by chewitt · Pull Request #607 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub shows no problems in milhouse builds over the next couple of days and we can merge this for v.next and backport for v7.0.3.

Sounds like a power draw issue. Powered hub is the way to go, especially if you have multiple drives.
