Add-ons are quite a bit of work to create and sustain but most home automation kits/suites have a Docker image available, so this is the easiest way to run things (as long as you use x86/pi/imx6 kit where we support Docker). The container configuration file normally needs a little tweaking to map things to /storage but that's nothing too serious.

I've still got no clue what an SBC is, but either way the answer is no. For an in-Kodi browser someone needs to pony-up the hours to develop a proper in-Kodi browser, and that's a non-trivial ask. Currently the only (but sucky) option would be running another general purpose distro which has Xorg in the background via chroot or Docker - there's a thread in these forums somewhere on it.

Remove and re-seat all HDMI cables. Check if the same happens when NUC is directly connected to the AVR. Also consider capturing EDID from the TV direct, not from the AVR.

echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=DE" > /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf
reboot

that forces the regulatory domain when things are not auto-detected correctly

You will need to speak to the people who created the SunnyTV build you are using as it's not from anyone around here. It shows up as aarch64 so I'd guess this is a cheap S905 device. We have never released an official 7.0 build for S905 devices so I honestly couldn't even guess what combination of patches and hacks the build contains. You're also using exodus and other piracy add-ons, so you're double screwed for support in this forum. Bye.

Also on a Linux box "ssh -vvv root@ip" will normally reveal the issue. It is normally cached keys (client side) using deprecated ciphers.

Nope. It requires a large pile of libraries that we don't currently require and X windows, which is present in Raspian but not LE.

LE (all versions) boots from two KERNEL and SYSTEM files - the later expands into a virtual filesystem which contains /var /etc but they're read-only anyway so not much help to you. The SSH key files are in /storage/.cache/ssh.

Purely for the sake of experimentation, someone should self-build an image that drops this patch:

LibreELEC.tv/connman-01-do-not-cleanup-routes.patch at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

The usual reason is an outdated version of PuTTY which is trying to connect using ciphers LibreSSL dropped in the wake of various major SSL security issues in recent years. Clear cached key profiles in the SSH client and update it and that usually solves the problem. And the SD card has two partitions; one is FAT32 (readable on anything) with a few boot files only and the other which maps to /storage is EXT4 which Windows and macOS haven't a clue about, hence you cannot see anything of interest.

or cheat and add as a dependency to one of the existing virtual packages (or any package really)

NB: Always make a backup and move it off-box first, then it's easy to recover if something goes wrong.

muetzekoeln: You can install the network tools add-on which includes 'wireless_tools' and use iwconfig with an autostart.sh script to force changes to the wireless radio configuration after boot. It's hacky and I don't have a nicely typed guide for you to follow, but it can be done.

I didn't hear of anyone building LE for XU4, so best to ask in Odroid forums.

If you are running Kodi Helix (v15) you are running OpenELEC not LibreELEC .. so watch the "how to migrate" video:

We are happy to add missing firmware files, but you need to provide us with the original upstream source location for the files. We cannot just add things that people post to a forum. Thanks

Kodi uses hashing to detect changes in the media folders and cannot see anything "new" in the folders so skips scraping. If things didn't originally scrape it's probably issues with the folder/file naming structure you're using. Fix that and then "scan for new content" and it will appear. Naming is the main issue that people have with scraping.

/etc/os-release should provide info on practically all Linux OS. Have a look at the OpenVPN service template in /storage/.config/system.d too
