Thanks for the info. Is there a direct link or group where I can find future updates?

This should be the download link. Install the beta. From then on it should be automatic.

Use the archive folder.

I think it is still a bit unstable. I installed the xanaxbuild and it sometimes just goes off when I select a stream to play and I have to restart from boot.

thanks for this great infos.

can i install the CoreElec as you eplained on a fresh formatted sd card and then use this card for booting CoreElec but also for making backup with my TWRP?

That means, the dtb.img will stay on root on the card, but also will be there the directory TWRP which will have my backup file. This works?
