Is the "Waiting for network" option enabled in the LibreELEC Settings Add-on?
Perhaps set it to 20 or 30 seconds to be sure.

Copy/pasting text from Reddit posts is not very custom here.
Seeing this is the 2nd one in a very short amount of time, some anti-spam alarms have been triggered.
For starters, there is no 4K Estuary skin yet. And 4K menu display seems to be a sluggish at times on the RPI4. Since modern TVs are much better at upscaling than the average GPU in most separate HTPC devices, choosing the 1080p display kinda explains itself.
When playing 4K videos, the TV's display rate and resolution are adapted via Kodi.
BTW, I now see a 2nd post that was created and copy/pasted from a Reddit link.
I just hope this isn't some poor spam attempt, as those will be dealt with quite swiftly.
Setting the GPU memory to 320 MB is the option most used by RPI4 users.
I see no reason why doubling that amount would still be beneficial.
You already enabled AND disabled the debugging setting in your last log file.
And now you're asking where that setting for enabling/disabling debugging is?
I'm confused...
In that case, it´d be great if it would be a separate module that can be easily downgraded.
Some things are placed in addons already, such as rar/zip support. I'm not sure if Airplay will ever make it to that status. (I'm not a dev myself)
I wouldn't be surprised if developers just simply had enough of having to do yet another fix.
Yeah... LibreELEC is not a server application, so spinning down hard drives is not a major feature.
But hdparm should do something. Perhaps also search the forum for other hdparm settings/experiences.
Why do you enable debugging for a short amount of time, not even a full minute?
Enable debugging, restart LibreELEC, reproduce the error(s), and provide the new log file. And now you can disable debugging again if that is important.
I´d be really happy if somebody could figure out what´s wrong with the more recent versions, so that I can safely update libreelec again.
As far as I know, the problem is this: Airplay is proprietary protocol from Apple. Airplay needs to be reverse-engineered to make it work in open-source applications like Kodi. Apple changes the inner workings of Airplay from time to time, which requires the open-source people to catch up. That cat & mouse game has been going on for years now. So what it comes down to is: sometimes Airplay works in Kodi, and sometimes it doesn't.
Oh... So your PC is also your NAS ?
You could try fiddling with 'hdparm' in LibreELEC's startup file, but those commands are usually meant for true NAS/server devices.
Kodi may always tickle local disks when data is being accessed.
is the sata power cut off to that particular hard drive ?
I wouldn't know. I can see that some of my external USB boxes are powered down, but others other not. I guess it depends on the compatibility of external USB connection. The disks application in Ubuntu has an option to fully shutdown a drive, but right now I'm guessing that drives in LibreELEC are only unmounted and not powered down. A power led on the external drive should tell you that.
But after some time using it (about week), after reboot i got just black screen.
Perhaps it's just a bit tired after a full week...

If you want to troubleshoot Kodi, always enable debugging first.
Although something wrong that only happens after a week... is probably hard to find.
Removing drives without doing it 'safely' is basically okay for your media drives, because no data is written to them.
Only when you write stuff to the drives (in case of a library export, or subtitles) you'll need to be more careful.
I downloaded the pi installer and put libreelec for pi3 on my sd card.
if the installer showed no errors, all should be fine. If not, you can also use a different image writer.
The first boot of LibreELEC will resize the 2nd of the disk partitions on the SDcard, which may a minute or two, depending on the SDcard specs/speed.
When I plug the pi to the tv nothing happens.
If "Nothing" is really nothing, then perhaps the SDcard is not properly inserted. Or, the image was not written properly. Or, you somehow selected the wrong image file.
You should at least see the square rainbow screen when the RPi boots.
Also how do I control the pi when its connected to the tv?
Any recent/decent TV will support CEC, which the RPi and LibreELEC also supports.
Once that CEC connection is made, you can control Kodi via your TV's remote.
Looks like your CEC connection is acting up. Can you doublecheck if it is properly enabled on your TV?
For example, I'd like to keep the "date added" information for all my video files as well as my music library, so I can use the "recently added" filter.
"Date added" is part of the metadata place in Kodi's export nfo files.
Are there any other similiar commands I should add to my advancedsettings.xml?
Nope.
I tried import export, from an android to ELEC device, it didn't work. Perhaps I did something wrong, but I don't think they are compatible, but you have nothing to lose.
Android and LibreELEC can have different paths to certain modules, but the Kodi export/import itself for video metadata is similar.
