I'm not being arrogant, I'm trying to give simple answers to simple questions.

If you have looked up what Kodi does as a HTPC application, then you know it can populate your video and music collections along with information and fanart given by external providers. This is what happens when you are 'scraping' your video and/or music collections into Kodi's internal databases. Scraping not only involves movie/music text information, but also fanart, backgrounds and artist thumbnails. Skins for Kodi can use different levels of additional info or getting extra fanart. It's up to you which skins suits your needs best. If you have no clue to what scraping in Kodi means, perhaps this wiki page will help.

When for whatever reason you are uncomfortable with external access/information, then scraping will probably be useless in your case. Playing videos or music in Kodi via the standard file browser is the only other option. As simple as that.

We don't have a separate build for any other Android Box flavor out in the world. The builds that we have are available via the LibreELEC download pages.

and if you are saying "they don't do anything while they aren't used", what else is using them? how do i turn it all off?

You are starting to sound a bit paranoid to me. If you don't want to use any of that 'stuff', then simply don't scrape your videos/music in the Kodi libraries at all. Just use flle browsing for locating and starting your videos or music. And if that is not good enough, then perhaps Kodi is not for you.

A wireless mouse has certain extra aspects to think of, one in particular is saving battery power. So it's possible having to 'wake up' the mouse (and its connection to the attached device) with a wiggle. If you can use a wired mouse, including an USB extension cable(s) if necessary, that would be the better option IMO.

On a Raspberry Pi 3 (which is still no PC equivalent in raw CPU power), mouse movements can be sluggish, also because during video play, the GUI fps rate is slowed down for overall video performance. An RPi is a brilliant video player considering its age and minimal setup (think of it as an average smartphone from 2009), but its CPU is minimum at best. Its current 64bit chip is still used as 32bit for the time being.

And given the fact that using a keyboard(like) device is getting you around in Kodi faster, a mouse is usually not the fastest way when browsing through the Kodi menus. Some people use their TV remote (via CEC) to control Kodi, others use game controllers. But I can also understand that hospital patients have a limited choice in Kodi control options.

No, only the video and music databases will be on your MySQL server, as you can see yourself using a MySQL client.

"epg11.db" is part of the database files that are always stored on the Kodi client itself, something the Kodi devs have decided in their infinite wisdom. You can the local databases in /storage/.kodi/userdata/Database . Normally after deleting a local database file, it will be recreated after a reboot/restart of Kodi. What it means for the workings in your setup(s) I don't know, as I never use any Live TV or EPGs in my Kodi clients.

Something is going wrong with updating one of the databases. The Epg11.db file may be corrupted.

HOW TO:Provide Logfile - LibreELEC

Please provide a dmesg listing via pastebin so we can try figuring out the hardware part(s).

"a proper power supply" is always a bit arbitrary. There are plenty of power supplies with "2 amp" stickers on it that are still under-performing. So if you if you still get the coloured square in the top right corner, you might want to double check with a different power 2 amps power adapter.

Sorry, but "it does not take long, screen turns black" is not the most extensive bug report we've had in quite some time.
Adding 10+ question marks also does not help, I'm afraid.

No text...?autostart.shautostart.sh is run on system startup. It can be used to run commands before XBMC/Kodi starts. To create it simple use nanonano /storage/.config/autostart.sh
This script will hold up the boot process until it has completed, so if you want it run in the background the contents of your script should be encase like this(
some commands;
some more commands
) &
You can also access the file via the configfiles samba share.http://shutdown.sh/storage/.config/shutdown.sh
Depending on when you want your commands to run you need to put them in the proper location, or under the *) case if you want it run for any.case "$1" in

Crap... The editor is fcuking up the marked up text.

We prefer not to have log files pasted inside the forum, but rather use LE's built-in pastebin support.

FYI: How to provide a log file

Also, please always upload full log files, not just the part(s) that you think are interesting. Enable the debugging option as well, preferably.

The Asrock N3xxx boxes have been tested (and developed on) thoroughly, possible that Asus is using some other form of hardware setup. Still it's odd that video output is a problem. Xorg.conf files should not be necessary unless you have some weird/odd TV and/or AVR setup.

If you could also provide, via SSH, a dmesg listing, then we at least have some basics.

dmesg | pastebinit

Ah, the good-old, one and only Asus box. At least we know exactly what we're dealing with

Please provide a kodi.log file and dmesg listing if possible.

Add this parameter to the config.txt file. Use HDMI mode even if no HDMI monitor is detected

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

If your Nvidia ION box is 64-bit capable, you can try the Generic build. If it's 32-bit only, you'll need to use a much older version of OpenELEC.

I'm sure that with problems on OpenELEC you could provide a debug-enabled kodi.log file. Nothing is different on that with LibreELEC. Please start with providing your kodi.log file so we can have the basics to start with. A 2 minute startup does not happen on a vanilla LE setup, so I'm guessing he have made some additions and/or alterations already.

So, your help to us in fixing this, consists of:
- AMD A6
- Booting loop
- Fix, 'very fast'

Yep, that's very helpful.

To keep things simple: Either you install LibreELEC onto your RPi device directly (without the BerryBoot system), or you need to wait until Berryboot offers the next LibreELEC version.

Always provide the debug enabled kodi.log file, also for trivial bugs.
Which skin is being used?
