AFAIK, the automatic update signal has been set for 9.0.1 (albeit a bit later than usual).

Also, LibreELEC Official does not have its own update channel, so unless I'm misinformed, I'd like to know the URL of that update channel.

It's time to see a detailed / debug enabled kodi.log , I guess.

And what is on the other end of the USB slot? A USB key/stick or an external USB housing with a HDD/SSD?

The gigabit port of the RPi3B+ is not really operating at gigabit speeds. Because of its design, it maxes out at between 200-300 Mbit/s.

2007-2008 is another lifetime older than say my 2012 TV. Go back far enough, and sure, the TV won't have 1:1 pixel display.

I have a 2012 LG tv, it has an option for displaying PC signals 1-on-1 on screen.

Which exact LG tv model do you have?

External Seagate drives have a bit of a history of not mounting.

I'd say disable the mount in the autostart.sh file, and reboot your Kodi device (whatever that is).

Then get us the URLs of the following commands:

blkid | paste
mount | paste
dmesg | paste

and we'll take it from there.

I take it the external drive is spinning at the time LibreELEC is booting? Normally all connected drives are mounted when possible.

Linux can be picky when mounting disks. Disks that have errors on them, or are still in suspend or hibernation mode, will not be mounted.

There will be a fix in the next Kodi release. Question is, why would you need calibration in the first place? Any decent TV can properly handle a computer signal these days.

Is it possible that your Windows Firewall is allowing SSH/WEB stuff, but still holding back other things like SMB ?

If you could get us the URL of a pasted dmesg listing via a SSH connection, then perhaps we can spot the problem: dmesg | paste

Personally, I'd tell you to stay away from these Atom Z3xxxx devices. A Raspberry Pi 3B+ is much better supported, plus several Android box solutions have also more graphics power.

I have zero issues with Kodi Helix.

0.o That's very possible. It's also a 4 year old release, so some add-ons of Kodi may no longer work. But it's all up to you.

LibreELEC itself does not have a hardware testing section. You could try one of these tools.

Normally, either a memory DIMM works or not. If it doesn't work properly, the operating system tends to crash.

A slowing down PC could also suffer a dying harddisk / SSD. You can run S.M.A.R.T. tests on those too (not within LibreELEC).

I must admit that Kodi18 is at least three time slower to scrap than Kodi16,

The overall speed of scraping ( not scrapping ) indeed received a sizable dent, especially for Kodi 18. The default scraper for TV Shows has been changed to TMDB, as there appeared some irreconcilable differences between Kodi and the TVDB website. TMDB has a different scraper, and likely the TMDB background API and server do not have the snappiness that was once available a couple of years ago. It's not ideal, but it does work.

SD cards in general have lousy write speeds. It helps to pay more attention to the actual/tested write speeds of SD cards.

I do find that problem has gotten worse today for some reason.

A slow hardware failure..? I'm running a Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3225 office machine here with a very basic LibreELEC setup. It doesn't have the troubles you have. Run checks on the memory DIMMs.

About your advancedsettings.xml file, I would remove/disable the <cache> and the <gui> tags. I never had to use any cache settings on my pc.

Also, one problem video in your kodi.log file is enough. No need to display half your collection, it makes the log file unnecessarily large.

Also how do I increase the system partition size as required >512.

With a fresh installation, your entire harddisk will be reformatted and re-partitioned.

But again, LibreELEC by default does not require more than 512 MB for its system partition.

a "Mazda CX-8 7-seater SUV"... That's the first hit I got when Googling for CX-8.

I'm sure Mazda knows how to use the speakers.

What exact device are you referring to?

can I get this moved

Done.
