Skylake supports 8-bit HVEC hardware decode but not 10-bit so you are software decoding and the CPU is struggling. The next generation of Intel kit (Kabylake) is scheduled to support 10-bit.

OpenVPN or PPTP?

There is nothing that you technically need to install to have a VPN connection, but how YOU need to do things depends on your personal skill level and how you want the VPN connection to work?

I doubt there are more than 50 people who modify their splash. It's a niche capability. We have no plans to support niche things in LE settings.

add "textmode" to kernel boot params and reboot

They're both similar (over time we've both absorbed each others technical tweaks) so the primary difference is in the underlying distro packaging. There are some who swear OE is better than OSMC, and others that swear the opposite. Try them both; see which works best for you.

so which one are you trying to change?

I'm not sure what the solution is, but that's why you only see one device in Kodi settings.

Links were down for a bit due to some hosting changes. Everything is working again now.

mount -o remount,ro /path/to/mount

Let udev choose what's mounted, but put this in autostart with a 20-second sleep value.

v7.90.003 (due soon) will revert from KMS drivers to Intel drivers to solve a range of graphical glitches and issues on Intel cards. No guarantee that this is one of them, but I would ask you wait and test when it's released. You can also test with a current Milhouse build which includes the same changes.

Sounds odd. Try the current Alpha builds or a current Milhouse build (from Kodi forums).

cp /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/95-udevil-mount.rules /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/95-udevil-mount.rules
nano /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/95-udevil-mount.rules

append the partition names you do not want mounted to the list, see udevil: prevent noobs partitions from auto-mounting by chewitt · Pull Request #386 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub and reboot. The new modified file will be used instead of the embedded one. If you have not named the partitions, name them.

The text on that page probably needs to be tweaked. The intention in the original statement (which I wrote) was more about being communicative and responsive to questions on schedule; which I hope we're being. Advance publishing a schedule with dates will be a challenge as we're dependent upon upstream Kodi which is proving to be a fluid target. That said, maintenance releases for 7.0.x have settled into a ~4 week-ish cycle and the Alpha builds were looking like a ~2 week-ish cycle but we delayed v7.90.003 to wait for Kodi A2, it should be out soon-ish. By the time we reach Krypton release (current guesstimate is late August or September) learning will be done and we'll better understand what we can committ to, and how to word it

cp /etc/X11/xorg-nvidia.conf /storage/.config/xorg.conf
wget http://sprunge.us/PJCF -O xorg.log
nvidia-xconfig --extract-edids-from-file=xorg.log --extract-edids-output-file=/storage/.config/edid.bin
nano /storage/.config/xorg.conf
(uncomment the 3-4 lines related to edid.bin then save)
reboot

that should do it. The device is DFP-0 which is the default config in the xorg.conf file so no need to change values.

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | paste

run that after a clean boot, share the URL it generates here

Krypton is already quite stable for pi devices. Not perfect, but should be enough to pass a WAF test.

There are some changes to BT pairing in the 8.0 settings add-on that are probably the reason it works on the alpha build. BT audio isn't widely used and development moved to 8.0 so there are no current plans to backport the changes.
