RE: "USB drive disappears from my Win File Manager"
That's common.
To solve that, start "Disk Management" tool or search for "Create and format hard disk partitions" (Win10 / Win11) and assign a drive letter to the FAT32 partition of the drive.

On LG soundbar (SL10YG) I had to turn on the setting "Auto Power On/Off" to make that work.
My setup in livingroom is RPi4 HDMI -> TV HDMI, TV HDMI ARC <-> Soundbar HDMI ARC.
(Optical is conected but not used)

Even edits in 'config. txt'
? -
...
If I ssh into device I notice the conventional 'boot' partition is called 'flash'. I do not appear to be able to edit the config.txt file, it reports it is a Read Only file system. Now baffled with that as the login is root and the file ownership seems to be root too. Is this normal as there doesn't appear to be a sudo option?
Strangely if I insert the card into another PC I am then able to edit the config.txt file but it would be easier to do this via an ssh connection.
You can edit directly via SSH but as Klojum says it's (somewhat) protected against tampering.
How-to is found here: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/config_txt

Ahh, damn...
BIG thanks guys, I totally forgot those lines!
Just trying to "foolproof" & streamline 2 RPi4's so they are ready as possible when delivered.

Hi!
I'm searching for info how to disable BT Wi-Fi and/or Ethernet directly on OS level even before LE starts.
(Like using 'rfkill' on Raspberry OS)
- Yes, I'm aware of how to do that from within LE but that's not what I'm looking for.
What is the best practice to do this? Is 'rfkill' available via some addon?
-
Hah, all I did was get a black sharpie and draw on them, that dulls them down enough to not bother me anymore.
That's one way...
Just giving an option. Personally I prefer the code.

I was installing LE on RPi4 and noticed how annoyingly bright the LED's are.
In dark bedroom it was quite horrible, even when trying in darkish livingroom You could see the LED's reflections...
Found an easy and persistent "fix" that works but shouldn't be used until everything is setup properly and perhaps should be removed whilst troubleshooting.
Via SSH session:
Codemount -o remount,rw /flashCodenano /flash/config.txtin [pi4] section (create or add):
(Two rows for each "feature", enable/disable with "#" as desired)
Code[pi4] # Disable the PWR LED dtparam=pwr_led_trigger=none dtparam=pwr_led_activelow=off # Disable the Activity LED dtparam=act_led_trigger=none dtparam=act_led_activelow=off # Disable ethernet port LEDs dtparam=eth_led0=4 dtparam=eth_led1=4Save, exit and reboot!
Done!!

My question is/was primarily if there are any known issues with this or the recommendation is to start from scratch with everything.
-
Yes, that might be an issue. I've seen those warnings and I'm aware of Python upgrades so that part is fine.
And most of add-ons I use are either updated or in progress anyway.
Rest can wait or replaced if necessary.
What I'm curious about if the add-on data backup/restore with LE build in backup tool is usable for add-ons in v10 or if I need to re-config all affected add-ons manually and if there are any side effects by restoring from old-ish version.

LibreELEC (Matrix) 10.0 RC1 – LibreELEC
"
** DO NOT UPGRADE! **
Yes, we mean that. The team are super keen for you to run the latest LibreELEC release but we recommend you clean install not upgrade an existing installation – unless you are upgrading from a recent nightly image, i.e. you are already using Kodi 19.
The two simple (but complex) reasons for this advice are:
a) Python3 changes in Kodi v19 mean 99.99% of add-ons stop working. Most official Kodi add-ons now have Matrix compatible versions in the Kodi repo, but the transtion to them is not always smooth. Incompatible Python2 add-ons are disabled automatically on upgrade and users need to find/update add-ons to Python3 versions before re-enabling them. Banned/piracy add-ons are heavily impacted by the Python3 change, and while we don’t care about them breaking, we do care about the abuse that’s often hurled at staff when we refuse sympathy or support to that subset of users.
b) Kernel changes for RPi4 users combined with no release for RPi2/3 users and discontinued support for RPi0/1 users means signifant changes in the user experience (Raspberry Pi users are a combined 80% of our active installed base). We are pretty confident RPi4 users will like the update since it brings HBR audio and initial HDR video support, but it’s still a big change. Generic (where there is a lower level of change) and Allwinner/Rockchip (which already run on modern kernels) are less impacted."
No, I'm NOT upgrading as I wrote above!!
I'm mainly interested to preserve as much settings for add-ons as possible!
I'm doing a clean install on all RPi's (as they are brand new) but I'm interested in risks when restoring (add-on) data (NOT LE itself).

I'm currently running all my LibreELEC devices at home on X86 devices but as needs changed I need to re-purpose some to other tasks...
I just ordered three RPi 4's (4GB model, the price difference was just negligible9.
So my question is;
If I backup my LE 9.2.6 based X86 devices with LE Backup can I restore that to RPi 9.9.x (or 10.x if that's released when time comes...)?
Any risks with that?
I'm mostly interested in add-on data/configs, I'm aware of that the add-ons aren't always architecture-wise compatible.
Thumbs aren't that important.
Thanks in advance!

Just to mention;
There are few combinations of "CAT6" (and other CATx) cables.
For example "shielded" vs "unshielded", "CAT6" vs CAT6E" and all combinations of these.
Not all devices handle all types equally good.
-
Alternatively:
Create Raspberry OS (lite) SD-card, boot and launch raspi-config and set desired boot order.
Done!

Just realized that not all my series was updated/added last time I added few movies and TV-shows.
All movies went fine but some series are misssing...

Does using different scraper(s) have same result?
I switched to "The Movie Database Python | Kodi | Open Source Home Theater Software" and all movies & TV-series are scraped correctly (if naming conventions are properly used).
About file/folder dates:
If/when handled correctly, the sorting, newly added, .. works (almost) flawlessly!
There are few freeware tools to manipulate file/folder dates quite easily.
