4K videos tend to be 10bit HEVC files, your Chromebook only does 8bit via GPU decoding.

So for 10bit videos, the under-powered CPU needs to step in, but is unfortunately not up to the task.

1) Do the menu sounds of your RPi3+ work? If so, the m4v files are the problem. Isn't m4b Apple-specific? Do the files still contain some DRM protection?

2) Enable the "Wait for network" option in the Settings Add-on. Set the timeout to 30 seconds.

3) Kodi was not designed to be a server by default. How do you try to access LibreELEC from the tablets?

LibreELEC has a SMB file server, but will have to be configured for your personal use case.

If you want to share your movies via UPnP to other UPnP/DLNA devices, the movies will first need to be 'scraped' into the Kodi video database.

This is an English-only forum. Please use a translation service such as Google Translate when necessary.

There are other means of writing a disk image onto a USB stick. Try a different one.

Also, I'm not sure if any of the NVIDIA Quadro cards will be fully supported with the 'standard' Nvidia drivers.

You can always testdrive the newest version of Milhouse's nightly builds with the latest&greatest testbuilds on a bootable USB stick... And see if things have improved. AMD seems to require the newest kernels/drivers in Linux. And yes, of course Windows drivers get more attention from manufacturers, so things should be more stable. On the other hand, AMD has been quite forthcoming in Linux open-source support, so that future is looking good.

Is the "Wait for network" option enabled in the LE settings add-on?

Only if it hasn't been reported before.

Is there some type of legacy mode available for the storage devices?

Did you disable auto-updates for add-ons in the Kodi GUI?

There are more differences than just that version number, but if it works for you: it's all good.

All my media is on NAS/USB, not using Library function

Huh?

Well, if you have watched/resume states for some of your video files, they are still being stored in the local video database. And since only scraped videos can be exported, you got yourself into a pickle here. Kodi databases are not really backwards compatible.

How many videos resume points only are we talking here?

"At my home server"... Why would a file server need symlinks in the first place?

Kodi prefers straightforward folder shares via SMB or NFS

Sources in Kodi can be removed via the "Videos -> Files" section using the context menu.

Sure, and after the next upgrade/downgrade of Kodi, your changes will be gone.

That would be a pretty big security hole when a web server would allow root access to a (file) server.

Starting Kodi (18.2 Git:18.2-Leia).

Kodi compiled 2019-05-04 by GCC 8.2.0 for Linux x86 64-bit version 4.19.36 (267044)

AMD graphics perform best with the latest Linux kernel and mesa drivers. So using LibreELEC 9.2.0 would be best, otherwise the Milhouse nightly builds are a good alternative. Try playing the h265 videos without the Plex subsystem.

But the strings.po file that I want to change is not the one for the skin. I want to change the one for the system.

The English (eng_GB) language texts for the Kodi core system is the default/source language, and can only be changed by Team Kodi. What would be the problem?

LibreELEC/Linux only has support for 8bit videos when it comes to Nvidia. With 8bit, it can do upto 8K videos though.

4K are normally h.265/HEVC videos, so a GTX950/960 is an option.

The GT1030 is the cheapest card for a HTPC box, with (sadly) a Windows OS setup if you need 10bit video support.

Mind you, LibreELEC is likely to drop Nvidia support in future because of all the Linux video driver shenanigans around Nvidia.
