Mean can I use it as router for home network.

LibreELEC as Kodi is designed for HTPC multimedia, it's not deemed to be an intelligent network router/switch/access point device.

Btw, your auction link does not work for me.

Also, that's not a swear word, Einstein.

To some people it is. I think you skipped too many history lessons in school.

Come back in 3 months.

Quote from Wheemer

Good job reducing community sharing you rules nazi.

I said preferably, Einstein. I didn't say you have to remove the link.

Using swear words like that towards Team LibreELEC members will get you no popularity points.

Consider it your first and final warning using such words. Grow up and choose your words wisely from now on.

But I have very little understanding of what I am doing.

Sources of Kodi addons are preferably to be offered via Github, so they can be checked and verified.

Zips and other compressed files which are offered via dubious download links can contain anything upto viruses.

Time displayed is not correct too

Make sure you have the "Wait for network" option enabled in the Settings Addon.

Hi, I wanted to ask if this version of libreelec is 100%

That's what it's at least designed for, although no one can ever guarantee 100% stability.

If your htpc with this new version is REALLY gonna be stable, you will find out soon enough.

In /storage/.cache , AFAIK.

You could try deleting the .cache folder, it holds network info and perhaps other stuff too.

Changing temperature..? The RPi3 runs a little faster and needs a bit more electric power.

You have two drives connected at different device numbers, but I'm guessing the problem is that they now have Identical drive labels.

/dev/sda2 on /var/media/Seagate Expansion Dr
/dev/sdb2 on /var/media/Seagate Expansion Dr

Give each of them a unique label name, and things should be fine.

For example, SDcards have no TRIM functionality, SSDs do have that. So SDcards can wear out much quicker, depending on the amount of usage.

And there is the Backup/Restore tool in the LibreELEC Settings Add-on, to make the regular backups of the most important folders.

If there’s an easier way in a way to repair an unbootable SD card that used to work, I would love to hear it.

This is unfortunately not a forum for disk repairs. If you can save your files by accessing the SDcard in a Linux machine, then that's your option as far as I'm concerned. And the backup option already mentioned.

Quote from TinyRick

I don’t have a computer with fixed Linux but I can always a boot up in distro if needed. If I can do it through windows or Mac all the better. I have several computers that I can use and several raspberry pis I can use.

Fire up your favorite Live Linux distro to access the EXT4 data partition of LibreELEC,

and copy the two important folders to a secure location: addons + userdata.

You can now boot from USB on the RPi4 if you updated its firmwares.

Using a (small) SSD should keep your data a bit more safer than your typical SDcard.

You could turn on the TV first, and then power on the RPi.

You could also try to import the EDID of the TV.

How old is the TV?

Try VPN Manager for OpenVPN

You could set one or more configuration files to a read-only status, if that would solve the problem.

Libreelec and therefore Kodi were (I thought) set for automatic update ... so how can stuff be out of date/

You thought wrong... Your setup is almost 1.5 years old by now. LibreELEC 9.2.6 with Kodi 18.9 is just around the corner.
Although add-ons can have been updated separately.

Didn't you already post on the Kodi forum as well regarding this matter?

That Wonderwall song stuck in my head yesterday, hence my post... Never mind, I'm cured now.

As for the PR: it's only for Generic apparently, I'd say it's a "special" test build for someone.

But if you want to try your luck, go for it.

As for the log file:

That's where it's handy to have the full, uncut kodi log file.
