The way our build system works it's quite trivial to change one tiny part of the OS, but you cannot apply an incremental patch to existing KERNEL or SYSTEM files so you must replace both.

Changes we made in 008 to update the samba (server) configuration have nothing to do with SMB (client) usage by Kodi. The "unix_err: 6" errors are seen on all variants of Linux running most versions of Kodi in recent years (Google and you'll find a ton of references in Kodi forums) so I honestly have no idea what the issue is but if I'm guessing; it's a combination of the getting-dated SMB implementation in Kodi and the utter protocol stupidity that is Windows networking. Turn everything off, turn things back on slowly starting with whatever box is trying to be the NAS.

echo "blacklist nvidia" > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

do that and reboot, and it should stop the nvidia driver loading so Xorg only has to contend with one GPU.

and please use "cat /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log | pate" so we don't have to suffer reading logs copy/pasted into forum posts.

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.
