I just want a clean install to replace my slightly broken Kodibuntu.

If you want to replace KodiBuntu, why do you need a dual boot setup?

Anyway, the OpenELEC article is a little outdated but the basics are still correct.

In short, these are the following steps:
- Use Gparted to resize the Kodibuntu partition. Resize it 9 GB smaller
- Create a system partition of 1 GB in EXT4 format
- Create a storage partition of 8 GB in EXT4 format
- Remember the device numbers of both newly created partitions
- Copy the system files of LibreELEC into the system partition folder
- Edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom and add the LibreELEC menu entry
- sudo update-grub2 to finalize the menu changes
- reboot and hold left-SHIFT to see the GRUB bootmenu

The little black box... Apparently also pretty popular also under the 'fully preloaded' box sellers.

The debug log shows no issues, so I'll keep it for the moment.

Why would you not hand in all possible information in solving this matter?

A digital amplifier via HDMI, yes.

Airplay broken What else is new? Happens all the time.
Audio clicks Needs resolving in AMlogic firmware
3D auto switch Depends on hardware. Works fine on Raspberry Pi's, not so much on Intel, and C2 apparently. 3D is EOL.
Hangs in RWD/FFW Should be a Kodi thing IMHO. Please report on their bug tracker.

Analog audio has never been the Raspberry Pi's strong point.

If you have a digital AVR or other amplifier you can plug your headphones into, that should solve most of the problem.

Perhaps there is a bug in your internet video streaming service...?
If your internet connection is that fine, why do you need a bigger cache?
Raspberry Pi builds have been solid for quite some time now.
I still use the default settings with a slower internet connection than yours.

How about uploading your kodi.log file so we can see what is going on.

PR's are welcome.

Is the Bluetooth switch for turning BT on/off disabled as well?

What value is set in the "wait for network" option?
Perhaps the default 10 seconds is not enough.

Settings and all are quite nice, but let's start with a debug enabled kodi.log will should give more information.

Unfortunately it doesn't list my opus file

That is correct. Opus files are not (yet) supported by Kodi.

by copying Addons26.db to Addons27.db like it should

Like it should? I'm guessing Addons27.db will have changes compared to its previous version.
If Addons26.db is not corrupted, just delete Addons27.db so Kodi can upgrade via the normal upgrade procedure.

The Backup/Restore tool is part of the LibreELEC Settings addon.

Old PC, random crashes... Do an extensive memory check for starters.

There are Docker solutions for things stuff Transmission.

As far as the Realtek RTD1295, we haven't have that many good experiences when it comes to Realtek Linux support of say, wireless solutions. Moreover, there are also other socs/chipsets/boards that are possible 'devices of interest' for us.

And frankly, we have our hands full with the currently running projects as is.

Kodi log file, please.

This is a little harsh !

No, I think it's not. Sometimes stronger words need to be used to get through people's thick skulls. Buying hardware first without doing proper investigation on what the status of Kodi and/or LibreELEC is, is no reason to come here and cry like a 4-year old asking for a bigger ice cream like some have already done.

Developers are people too, with families and jobs. I wish there were more, good quality, developers for Kodi / LibreELEC, but sadly, that is not the case. We have to manage with what we got, and if developers say that they limited time, then you will accept that. Don't also forget we have plenty of work on solving bugs in our existing projects for Generic, RPi and other AMlogic devices. Some of those bugs take weeks if not longer.

So just take a couple of deep breaths, and be thankful for all the work so far, as well as being a little less impatient.
