neither is v7.90.001 or v7.90.002, so I assume you're self-building them?

test again with v7.90.003, and if not resolved test again when v7.90.004 appears (soon-ish)

echo -1 | tee /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend

Run that and connect the drive. If it works, run this and reboot to make the change persistent:

echo "options usbcore autosuspend=-1" > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/usbcore.conf

It's also (maybe) possible to use the value 0 (zero) instead of -1 .. it depends on the kernel used

From a code perspective LE simply consumes whatever upstream Kodi team work on, so we would encourage any DSP related development to be done for the benefit of all Kodi users.

Fast boot isn't usually an issue (unless you acquire something dog slow) but the power-off feature is "suspend" in Android land and getting that to work reliably over a broad selection of Linux devices is a fight we didn't pick yet. It may work on x86 devices which support low-power states, but none of the low-power arm stuff has an equivalent. In the future maybe, but not today.

The clue was "GeForce" .. which means it's an older card.

x11vnc requires the Xorg/X11 graphics server which does not exist in Amlogic builds; only in Generic (x86)

Reconnect the NTFS drive to a Windows box and run chkdsk.exe, then disconnect correctly to ensure the filesystem is "clean" because if the filesystem is not clean Linux will mount the drive read-only ~ and that would explain why nothing can be copied to the drive over the network.

Just a comment: That nvidia 7 series GPU will be unsupported in LE 8.0 as we bumped the "legacy" driver version to something newer.

The clue is in the im6/xbian name .. the origins of that Kernel are not OE/LE so there will be a few differences. It's trivial to add the module, but does the device also require firmware?

Add the new package to the dependencies in packages/virtual/network/package.mk

What are you adding?

First let's see if those are bits added back. If not, we can look at patches. Most of the LE team aren't fans of the way codec type info has been dumbed down in Estuary. We understand why it's been done, but.

If you're using LE v7.0.x (Jarvis) it should be identical to OE. If you're using LE 8.0 alpha builds (Krypton) Kodi devs removed the overlay screen that shows codec and other bits of info. It wasn't a popular move and should be partially added back before Kryton release.

The build system works by unpacking sources and patching them before compiling. You can make changes in the unpacked sources, but then you need to create a "diff -Naurp" patch of the changes and add that to the package. Any change to the package folder will trigger a clean rebuild of the package where the sources are nuked and re-unpacked. The patches need to follow packagename-version-sequence-name.patch format; look at the existing set of kernel patches for more info.

Make sure "sync playback to display" is not enabled in Kodi config, because in Krypton this automatically disables passthrough.

the long-name in /var/media should change to the new name when you reboot

There will be a change in LE 7.0.3 to (hopefully) fix this:

kodi: fix for saving sking settings on shutdown · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv@0cf94ed · GitHub

LE can use the same .img.gz file for new installations *and* updates to existing installations; same process as .tar
