Perhaps you folks can help me with this one. I tried putting Kodi on a static IP. My router was constantly changing the address, making it hard to find on DHCP. With DHCP turned off in the setting file, Kodi can not connect to the internet. I can see it from my other machines and SSH into it just fine. Perhaps there is something else that needs to go into my setting file. Any ideas? I am stumped.
Settings File:
[ethernet_b827ebeb576b_cable]
Name=Wired
AutoConnect=true
Modified=2016-06-01T11:09:34.446847Z
IPv4.method=manual
IPv4.netmask_prefixlen=24
IPv4.local_address=192.168.0.198
IPv4.gateway=192.168.0.1
Nameservers=192.168.0.1;
IPv6.method=off
IPv6.privacy=disabled
IPv4.DHCP.LastAddress=192.168.0.198
Domains=home;

@bill_orange: Not sure how you are setting the network connection as there is an issue in current builds with the Settings addons missing the "Save" button which makes saving modifications to connections a bit tricky (ie. impossible). Are using an older build to configure the network, then rolling forward? Are you able to work out when the manual network configuration stopped working?

So you're creating the settings file by hand? I'd suggest going back a couple of weeks to a build with Save button (try #0518) and create the manual/static connection in the Settings add-on, then you can compare the settings file created by the add-on with your hand crafted version.

I could see that if completely turn off deinterlacing, then disappear the freezer.
Problem still exists in build #604

I've recently added a Bluetooth dongle to my rpi2, everything works fine, have couple of different devices working properly, however if I leave the Bluetooth service on, and switch to a different input on my TV after a few minutes it switches back to the HDMI input rpi2 is on.
There are no devices turned on or connected, but if Bluetooth service is on, and I'm watching cable on the TV, after a few minutes the focus gets switched to the rpi2. This happens on every libreelec build from the last month or so (ever since I plugged in the dongle).
Has anyone encountered something similar?

@bill_orange: That would suggest your gateway isn't providing DNS, which is unusual. I use an RPi running Raspbian for DNS/DHCP to insulate myself from the usually substandard network services you find in most consumer gateways. Most of my "always on" devices are mapped to specific IP addresses based on MAC address or host name, then the devices themselves are configured using DHCP - they always get the same IP address, plus the local DNS can resolve the hostnames too.
