Can you please provide some additional information:
1. What is the exact error message?
2. At which step in the above instruction the problem occurs?
3. Is there an error message in the kodi.log?

I've installed the image on the SD card, it boots up fine. But when I wanted to select the AddOn repo, there was just an error:

selecting "Kodi Add-on repository [Team Kodi - 2.5.8]" fails:

ERROR: CCurlFile::Open failed with code 0 for http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/krypton/addons.xml.gz.md5
ERROR: Open - failed to open source <http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/krypton/addons.xml.gz.md5>

ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting addons://repository.xbmc.org/

selecting "LibreELEC Add-Ons [Team LibreELEC - 9.0.0]" also fails

It seems Files... is currently down due to someone's really idiotic april's fool joke idea. Guys, seriously, that is not funny and wastes precious time.But Index of / does no longer have an "addons" folder, seem something has changed here.

Unfortunately, this did not work for me, The "LibreELEC Add-on" repo cannot be accessed, so there is not TV server and client that can be installed. Did the URLs change?

The most convenient way to share between Windows and Linux is exFAT (natively supported by both) so I hope that wasn't the only reason.

I should have said: "...most convenient way to share encrypted disks...". They can still run any file system in the container.
Anyway, I've come to like dm-crypt, that my motivation.

No (known) technical blocker, that is good news. So I'm going to spend some more time on this then, let's see how far I get.

I've looked at the TrueCrypt addon, but given the recent develoments about it (and the successors) I'm not too keen to spend time on this for now. However, it seems this is the most convenient solution for people sharing disks between WIndows and Linux.

No plans.

I wonder, are the any known technical reasons blocking this? Did anybody tries this already?

Hi,

any plans to support dm-crypt and LUKS, so external disks and USB drives can also be used when they are encrypted?
