Ethernet cable connects, even when using Realtek nic's, should be far more stable that any wifi connection.

The question for me is: if Kodi 15.2 was/is working fine, why upgrade now? ("If it isn't broken, don't fix it").

Do I need to manually set xrandr everytime I switch to Libreelec from any other TV inputs?

You can set xrandr commands in the autostart.sh file, as a last resort.

Updating your motherboard will also require new memory (SO-)DIMM modules, and probably a different power supply, knowing Shuttle. And also, a HDD/SSD with SATA connection. Pretty much a new pc computer altogether.

Realtek drivers have had problems in Linux OS'es off and on. It can be a lottery at times. So if there is any possibility to use network cables, please do so.

In LibreELEC (as in OpenELEC), there is an option in the Network tab window in the Settings add-on, called "Wait for network". Enable it. PC's can be sometimes too fast during booting LibreELEC.

Uploading Kodi log files via SSH is the quickest and simplest way:

Also via SSH, supply a dmesg listing via the following command:

dmesg | pastebinit

That's a computer from 2004, in other words, it's prehistoric in HTPC terms. It basically has none of today's video requirements to run Kodi.

Try a Raspberry Pi 3 as a simple HTPC replacement.

Doen't the Acer revo RL85 have a hotkey for a boot menu from the BIOS/UEFI, so you can select which HDD to boot from?

asking for answers to questions is fine it was the sarcasm it included that I saw no need for

For your information... We are not a multi-million dollar and 'listed' company with business-like approaches.

Sarcasm?! If our (my) humor is already a problem... Lighten up. There is already too much bullshit going on in our so-called "advanced' society. And yes, you did not give us any real details go work with. So we needed to trigger you a bit. Simply put, not all computers are similar to yours. LibreELEC runs on all types of computers, roughly from the year 2006 to present. Meaning, not all computers react the same to certain issues. So without enough pieces to that puzzle, we simply need(ed) more information.

The USB-SD creator does have a smaller target audience in computers, but the logic remains the same: Not every computer is alike.

I think the fact that I said a new build HTTPC indicates it is not a coffee machine and the clues are in the message

"My car has a problem. Can you fix it?"

Sure, what car do you have?

"It's a red car, with 4 wheels".

I assume that when you installed the HD-Idle addon from our system tools, that you also tried that add-on.

If the add-on works like it should, there is no follow-up necessary.
If it doesn't work as advertised, we'll need to dig deeper.

a new build HTPC

More details / specifications, please... Who knows you may be trying to install LibreELEC on a coffee machine.

LibreELEC has no "/home" folder to begin with. So I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve with deleting a totally non-existent folder and its subfolders.

Something in the PC's BIOS perhaps concerning multiple monitor setups?

All video hardware settings can be found here: Settings / System / System Settings / Display .
Make sure you change the GUI menu setting (lower left corner) from 'Basic' to 'Expert' to see all available options.

I'm assuming that your motherboard will use all video outputs by default, enabling a cloned setup of the plasma and the projector.
One thing that might be enabled by default in the Kodi GUI is the "Blank other displays" option. Disable it and both displays should work. If your htpc still shows only one screen at the time, it's probably some weird AMD hiccup.

'Pick the right Kodi box'
START HERE - Pick the Right Kodi Box (updated May 2017)

Kodi was never been designed to work with multiple monitors, but cloning is done by default and would be the one option for use with two monitors/projectors.

To get some info on the displays, connect both the plasma and the projector, log in via SSH and execute the following command:

xrandr | pastebinit

and share the URL with us here.

As far as the Wifi goes... If there is any option to use a network cable, do so.
Other than that, enable the 'Wait for network' in the LibreELEC settings add-on. The default 10 seconds should be fine. Otherwise, set it to 30 secs.

'My computer'... We don't sit next to you, so any information/specification is welcome.

If you have a newer Nvidia video card, try forcing the old Nvidia video driver (via SSH):

[code]
wget http://chewitt.libreelec.tv/96-nvidia.rules -O /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/96-nvidia.rules

[/code]

and reboot.

10bit HEVC is not official just yet in LE 8.x, it is planned for Kodi 18 Leia.

But there are test builds available that you can try.
See here: thread-7502-post-45608.html#pid45608

As for your setup: try getting things to work without the AVR first.

ADDENDUM:

As per Piotrasd:
"4k 30Hz that becuase not all CEA modes are implemented
is no problem to add missing mode over xorg.conf"

The best connection to a network device is via cable: it works in 99.9999% of all cases.
Even if it is for debugging or testing, try connect via cable if you can.
Otherwise, the quickest solution is to simply start from scratch and install LE 8.0.1 fresh.

Sometimes settings from different skins get entangled. Figuring out what went wrong will take lots more time than simply reinstallating LE and install your add-on(s).
