1. Raspberry Pi 5 boards are a small and well supported device for LE use.

2. I've never heard of Kodi being sideloaded on Roku things (but then I don't have any interest in Roku so..)

3. Android HDMI sticks are popular for running Kodi, if you like or can tolerate Android.

4. Android smart TV's are smart as long the the OS is maintained (sometimes yes, sometimes no).

5. You can run Kodi natively on modern WebOS (LG) TV's now, although it requires some developer mode hacking.

This forum is going to be rather limited to LE oriented ideas and opinions though. The more popular home for "best thing for Kodi" type threads is the the Kodi forum.

Has anything changed since le 11? Because there is no dtb folder in there, just one named amlogic

The dtb folder was renamed to amlogic to align with upstream u-boot conventions. Hence when you switch from an invalid path to the dtb file (dtb) to a valid path (amlogic) the device booted. The update process knows about both locations so it doesn't matter whether you have an old style (dtb) or newer style (amlogic) filesystem layout, the update will be successful.

it booted... after like 2-3 minutes of being "stuck" in the le and kodi splash screens!

Most likely performing a DB upgrade.

So what do I do now?

Your conversaton has wandered all over the place so i've lost track of what you were trying to do (sounds like you forgot too)

If you want to put content in a Library view (Movies/TVshows) then you MUST scrape the content. If you don't want to scrape from an online source you can provide your own .nfo files (one per episode) and use the offline scraper. If the offline scraper is not doing what you expect; either you have invalid expectations on how it works, or it's disagreeing with content of the files and failing to use them. To triage what might be going on you'll need to share a Kodi debug log so we can see verbose output as the scan/scrape takes place and what info/error messages are generated.

NB: Each time I see people flailing around trying to get some custom filesystem structure or content to scrape I'm wondering why folks don't just use the 'Videos' non-Library view to find and play media. It's not a fancy view. It will still track watched status. It requires zero config and effort to use.

Cant edit then add logs here

There's a time limit on editing posts to stop human new-user spam-bots posting something innocent (which gets approved) and then editing the post later to embed links to whatever thing/service they're pushing. Pretty standard config for forums.

It's bundled with the second/alternative LEIoT distro that's now part of the LE buildsystem.

polo_joe Compose is not included with the standard Docker add-on because it's a HUGE file. I will get around to submitting a separate add-on for it at some point so it that can be downloaded alongside Docker if required. Until then you'll need to wget an appropriate arch file from https://github.com/docker/compose/releases to somewhere on /storage and execute it manually.

Maybe bug came back again?

Nope.

Share a Kodi debug log that demonstrates the issue.

Go read the wiki article that I linked and implement "adjust refresh" and the whitelist as discussed there. Or at least provide a Kodi debug log that demonstrating the issue so we can see what the media properties are, and then what config (or lack thereof) forced them to be adapted to for playback, which is likely the issue.

Also, I get a popup with the 3 installation options (live, run, or install to HDD) every time I boot from that USB drive.

Type "run" and it will expand the /storage partition to 100% size for persistent storage and then run from the USB stick. If you do "live" it will boot from USB but the install is not persistent. It defaults to install .. which requires you to pick a target device to install to, which cannot be the USB stick.

Please share debug UART logs showing u-boot and (maybe) kernel boot output from both LE13 and DietPi images.

To understand what might be happending we'll need to know what sources the image you're using is built from (as we didn't build or provide the image, and we're not mind readers) and to see UART logs showing u-boot and system output during boot.

In the absence of that info ..

Sorry, no clue. I've long used a NAS in the network to avoid USB drives so can't speak from any experience.

Is there somebody who can help me?

LE 9.2.8 is old now so our first response is going to be "Please test a current release" to eliminate all the fixes and updates that were made since (there's been a few). I appreciate there are possible reasons for remaining on LE9.2 with an RPi3, but even if there's an issue and that can be pinpointed (sharing some debug logs would be a good first step) there's not going to be any fixes in that release, it's a long dead codebase.

NB: Tvheadend has evolved too. How old?

The "amlogic" branch has current changes. You don't need to report on updates if things work the same as before.

Maybe I buy an adapter that is not jmicron

There's enough reports on that adapter for me to think it has firmware problems, so probably not a terrible idea.

ozarks Panfork was a fork of panfrost (hence the name) hacked/adapted for ARM Mali Valhal hardware while "panthor" was still in the earlier stages of development. As panthor is now developed and upstream it's been superseded. In theory Direct-to-Plane with DRMPRIME decoding should be the default used; although until I have some RK3588 hardware to test with (some is allegedly being sent to me) i'm unable to do anything beyond theorize what's missing or required.

balbes150 please push changes to your GitHub repo, thanks.

There's nothing on the LE side to prevent boot from USB, but I've sometimes found that Android boxes will only boot from a specific USB port, and some boxes refused to boot from one. Roll dice and see what happens
