The answer will depend upon the EPG data source that you're trying to work with?

Nope. That's *exactly* the same as what I gave you, only the extra two lines Milhouse documented also disable Bluetooth.

The LE/OE build-system is relatively simple to figure out (very logical) and full of "prior art" to crib and learn the process of extending the core OS and creating add-ons from. There have never been nicely written guides or tutorials because creating packages/add-ons requires developer skills, and people with the skills to succeed tend to poke about and ask a few specific questions, while those who do not have the skills (self included, I'm no developer) need to ask for tutorials and guides. Unfortunately, to package an entire Linux distro in two files requires greater up-front complexity in the creation process compared to a more conventional distro, and it raises the entry-bar on tinkering.

Anything built for a recent version of OE should work on LE. I'd try installing Chemstars add-on first before reinventing the wheel.

No, but you will need to adjust the dd command to account for wherever the downloaded file is; probably in ~/Downloads

"User error. Please replace user"

echo "blacklist brcmfmac" > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo "blacklist brcmutil" >> /storage/.config/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
reboot

does that work?

No debug log = No chance of us guessing what the issue is.

The file you downloaded was in .img.gz format. If Safari (or other browser) does not automatically unzip the file to be in .img format it will still be in .img.gz format and thus when you run a dd command against the .img (not .img.gz) filename the file (correctly) does not exist.

"gunzip LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-7.0.0.img.gz"

NB: Make sure you download and use v7.0.2 as it corrects some occasional errors in the installer.

No LE build exists (it's not making it very high up my to-do list, sorry) and the OE build works fine with or without a Broadcom card.

Switch to Confluence. If the problems stop you confirmed it's something related to Xperience1080.

OpenELEC RPi Config <= should work on LE, if not nag @leopold

Most "builds" are a mix of legitimate and piracy add-ons. As a broad sweeping but fairly accurate rule, if a repo or addon is advertising "free movies" or "free sports" and the source is not a national free-to-air broadcaster in the country you reside in, it's piracy.

See: Official:Forum rules/Banned add-ons - Official Kodi Wiki

It's theoretically possible (if you do the development) but it uses an Allwinner SOC so you may have to contend with patchy Linux and u-boot support as they are known for providing incomplete sources in violation of various GPL licenses. It wouldn't be our recommendation.

LibreELEC provides no support for users who install "builds" like Spartan that encourage piracy. I've pinged Kodi folks to add it to their list of banned add-ons. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

LE v7.90.001/002 use the KMS video driver which behaves badly on older Intel GPUs. In v7.90.003 (out shortly) and current Milhouse builds we reverted back to the Intel driver which should solve issues like this.

If you want fast file-copy speeds you'll need to format as ext4 (kernel driver) from within LE or anothe Linux install, but ext4 is not be readable on Mac or Windows. If you want cross-platform support use exFAT, which will be slower for file-copy (as it uses a FUSE userspace driver) but can be connected and read on any OS.

The Tvheadend add-on is not embedded in the OS, so it makes no difference whether you are using Milhouse/CvH or official builds.
