The URL path that you configure needs to include a correctly structured releases.json file containing details of the files available. The feature does not work by scraping webserver directory listings. It's probably easier just to scp files to /storage/.udpate/

LE (and OE before) have a long-standing policy of refusing to add RAID support to the OS to avoid "the death of a thousand cuts" ..because if we add one RAID driver then we're obliged to add a long list of others, then all the filesystem management tools needed for RAID, and more. We have always been a "client" focussed distro; all the fancy RAID stuff belongs in a NAS/server device.
PCMCIA is off the list too. You're maybe the second or third person that asked for PCMCIA support in the last 4-5 years. It's niche and there is no new hardware coming so we wouldn't add it. We are generally a forwards (not backwards) looking distro when it comes to hardware support.
The external display adapter is also unlikely. Kodi is designed to use a single display so supporting additional screens (aside from laptops and modern interfaces like Thunderbolt) isn't a big requirement for our target audience. USB devices are likely only needed on old hardware (which is not something we're aiming at) and probably doesn't deliver good performance.
NB: LibreELEC's sources are in public github and it's not hard to create a custom image with personal changes. If you really want to use this collection of bits, that would be the best option.

The main point of a NAS device running OMV is to store media and have it always available and the main point of a media client device running LE would be to access media on the NAS. So i'm not sure dual-booting LE/OMV makes any real sense? .. but on a technical level "it's not rocket science" to use a bootloader like grub that supports multiple entries that you can select from at boot time.

thanks for confirming .. the patch will be included in v7.90.004

In recent Kodi versions the developers migrated a lot of things out of the core binary into add-ons to improve ease of maintenance. Unless you track the changes it can give the appearance of Kodi having a ton of extras installed, but really the out of box defaults are including the standard stuff needed for an average user. I personally prefer to watch movies instead of hunting around the add-on screens every day looking at what's installed. The default skin in Krypton is changed to focus on video/music add-ons so the infrastructural stuff is more hidden.
Weather requires you to install an add-on (e.g. Yahoo weather) and configure locations (and home-screen display) in the Skin. If you don't bother with any of those Kodi won't check for weather udpates.

If you create LibreELEC builds and share them with other users the GPLv2 license obliges you to publish the changes you make. This also helps others attempting to build for the same hardware and encourages people to collaborate.

Even if you manage to run something in docker it will be running outside the Kodi GUI, so it won't be a great experience.

There are community builds for various Amlogic devices here: LibreELEC

CIFS/SMB client connections should adapt to the server config automatically, there is no config file. You can enable verbose logging for the SMB library within Kodi settings > System > Logging > Enable component specific logging.

Kodi is intended to be an internet connected application. Some of the default extensions are embedded and thus cannot be disabled or removed unless you custom-build the OS (we have instructions for building, but not for removing default things). If you avoid scraping content to the libraries the only online checks will be for weather, time, and updates to Kodi default and user-installed add-ons. In default config and if scraping is avoided the online activities do not reveal anything personal.

No idea, I've never used Emby.

You can edit WinSCP preferences to show hidden files and directories.

There are no .zip files as we don't support/need those formats. Do you have an MD5/SHA256 checksum validation tool? .. it's a more reliable way to see if something changed in a file than the file-size (bytes) count. In the past when I've seen this and there's no logical explanation, having a neighbour who uses a different ISP has usually resolved the problem. It's odd.. but, meh, computers

Recent versions of OE pre-install all Kodi language translations, but this increases the size of the distro image and we had many users complain that every time they boot/reboot they see a long stream of messages about language add-ons they never use being updated. As more people complained about the udpate messages than complained about needing to install a language pack, LE reverted to the Kodi default behaviour.

In the past I have seen issues with ISP's using traffic compression technologies that result in modification (corruption) of files. It's rare, but maybe there is something similar happening. Each day the number of active RPi2 v7.0.2 installations goes up so we are confident there is no issue with the original images hosted on our servers.
LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-7.0.2.img.gz?mirrorlist shows the list of mirrors available. The mirror system geolocates your IP address so will probably direct your download requests to servers in Greece, Germany or Czech republic (closest by distance). Using the links on that page you can choose to download from our original server or another mirror in the UK, France, USA.

No change. Both OS use the same driver which doesn't support being put into AP mode via dbus > connman > wpa_supplicant interface; which is how the GUI works. It's something that needs enhancement in the driver.

Hi
I have wetek play it works chromium?No, the WP does not use Xorg for display.

The WeTek Hub also has 10-bit support. It uses the same Amlogic SOC as the C2, but a newer revision that avoids a 4k/60Hz HVEC hardware bug.
