The configuration can be more simplified: when /EFI/BOOT/syslinux.cfg is deleted from the file system UEFI syslinux automatically uses /syslinux.cfg.

May I ask what is the difference between /next and /testing ?

Both are experimental builds you most likely do not want

The daily test builds you find below /builds/master

I can't upload the Milhouse.tar file to "Update" folder.

Also try to mount the USB under Debian.

Searched both partitions for the "Update" folder without any luck.

The samba folder "Update" is /.update on the second partition. Please enable showing hidden files in your file manager.

Another option is to use the Kodi File Manager to copy the file from a local device to /storage/.update after enabling the hidden files too: Settings/Appearance - Official Kodi Wiki

As @a-ha did mention here shell comments are suppressed in code blocks.

As example the following snippet contains three comments including the shebang line:

#!/bin/sh
# comment 1
echo
# comment 2

Check the output of xrandr and try seting the mode in autostart.sh, i.e.:

OUTPUT=$(/usr/bin/xrandr -display :0 -q | sed '/ connected/!d;s/ .*//;q')
for out in $OUTPUT ; do
  /usr/bin/xrandr -display :0 --output $OUTPUT --mode 1920x1080 --rate 60
done

However, I was under the impression Kodi could do something to the audio so that I could at least play the file. Similar to Plex transcoding..

Use the TV (AC3) settings.

Go to HW acceleration settings and disable "MPEG-2 VAAPI" or VAAPI at all.

It is the fix from #18. As said before it just avoids the crash.

GDPR-7 The device is working fine for almost two years - when the power supply is connected. Even this bug is fixed in the next 4.16-rc4 kernel.

Softlander There is no Linux driver support for the new hardware. If or when there will be any nobody can tell.

Looks like they changed the hardware without changing the device ID. Even Windows users have to manually select the correct driver. What a crappy design.

There seems to be no linux support yet for the changed HW.

I see the crash since I use the device and there in no external 12V.

There is a SMD fuse in the upper right corner of the PCB for the external power that I had to replace once to get it work again.

The fix may avoid the crash but the device will not work without a detected demodulator.

It's a bug. The driver crashes in tt_s2_4600_frontend_attach() when there is no external 12V attached or the fuse is blown on the PCB.

As you did check the PSU I'm afraid it is the latter case.

On grub boot menu press 'c' to get the grub console, then

search --file /KERNEL

Grub prints disk and partition number of the LibreELEC system partition.

I've no experience with grub customizer. Just create /boot/grub2/custom.cfg and insert the menuentry.

How did you install you thumb drive?

If using the "live" boot option of the installation media the system always boots with clean settings. Then use the "run" boot option instead.

Since Krypton the setting "Sync playback to display" forces audio resampling resulting in PCM or AC3 streams.

Syslinux itself always has to be loaded via PXE using DHCP/TFTP.

Adding the TFTPD root directory to the web server and using HTTP transfers gives a large speed improvement even for legacy boot.

A usual workaround with large speed up is to deliver files via HTTP.

Unfortunately not. Invalid Windows filename chars like colon are not allowed over SMB.
