A likely good post to start is RE: Xandr Replacement.

You may have to change the name for your HW.

To create the modprobe configuration file:

echo 'option iwlwifi amsdu_size=3' > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

Then reboot.

There are iwlwifi errors/crashes:

A web search leads to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721064. You can try the tips in the last post.

netbooker Looks like the EFI BIOS is requiring an explicit boot entry. The LE installation assumes the BIOS is booting the /EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi by default.

Please follow RE: LibreELEC doesn't start after the first installation to create the entry.

chewitt The installer is always creating a 512MB FAT16 partition.

synologynas is likely a local hostname to be resolved.

Unfortunately resolving host names via nmblookup was dropped from kodi 20, now DNS lookups are finally used.

You can try to enable WS-Discovery via Settings->Services->SMB Client.

To avoid reinventing the wheel a link to the excellent Audio Quickstart Guide in Kodi Wiki should be enough.

Quote from titoasi

Do logs persist after reboot? Or they start loggin on each boot? Because then I don't see anything that caused the crash

There is almost never a reboot, only kodi is crashing. In this case you do see it in

Pasting the Crash Logs via LE Settings Addon will give more information.

Maybe someone know what the burst of kodi.sh[864]: Failed to import fence to syncobj: -1 means.

With ssh you can use kodi-remote on the device.

It is ever possible to connect a (maybe cordless) keyboard.

AutoConnect is OK.

You can provide the usual pastekodi system log. Maybe someone gets an idia.

I'm still wondering why that change was needed for me when it wasn't for others.

You did not mention before you are using a case with fan and likely did install some software intercepting the power off path.

Quote from Glorious1

Only thing is, the case fan stays on, which I guess is expected because apparently the power to GPIO pins remains on as long as there is power connected to the Pi.

That is to be expected. The halt target only stops the CPU and nothing from the chip set.

You can use halt target instead of poweroff target:

ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/halt.target /storage/.config/system.d/poweroff.target
systemctl daemon-reload

There have been issues with the autoconnect status in the past, please check with:

grep AutoConnect /storage/.cache/connman/*/settings

"Still something missing to completely support your card."

I've no idea if there is currently an out of kernel tree driver required.

Do you use the recommended BIOS settings?

Thank you for your help, mglae, unfortunate I couldn't get your plugin to work

Congratulation, you found a Kodi bug . Installation from ZIP is failing when no repository is available.

To the RTL8821C issue:

Page fault when accessing the card, likely there is still something missing.

No idea.Is is installing successfully on my side.

To research network issues I've created a gbmshell addon temporary replacing kodi with a shell.

You can install the attached tools.gbmshell-1.0.0.0.zip addon from USB stick and export kodi, dmesg or journalcll logs the same way.

Our usual pastekodi tool can be used locally with pastekodi -c >/path(to/log

elonesna Yes, accepting the PW but failing afterwards is weird. Having no idea either.
