To be honest, because your question is mostly gibberish. My apologies.

Just clone CE and run make
You should expect many problems with addon compatibility. AFAIK in KODI 19.0 they changed from python 2.7 to python 3.
As someone of the developer team I would have provided an addon for KODI 18.x which only checks if there are updates of installed addons available which are compatible with the new version. Butā¦
Pull requests are welcome.
Sorry, forgot. My next media center definitely will be a NUC or something similar with a real Linux installation. But for nowā¦
First: I am not a programmer. So a pull request would not help.
Second: Itās the wrong forum for that, because itās related to kodi.
Third: I tried to help out with an answer for @giaur500.
Fourth: Itās becoming off topic here. A āsixthā wouldnāt let me keep my head. 
Bye
And you answered a 10 days old question just to be able to attack the team. Maybe you should reflect a bit before posting.
Real linux installationā¦ Yikesā¦ Clearly missing the point. Not to state the obvious but this is a community forum for a Just Enough OS platform.
I donāt know how you define a real ālinuxā installation. CE is GNU using a linux kernel.
I guess you mean you are missing a package manager like in Ubuntu.
I can recommend the Odroid H2+. Itās very low in power consumption and powerful. I bought it myself recently but I donāt use it for media center because Intel Chips canāt do all the real HDR stuff and all other features I am used to that CE can.
So I use the H2+ mainly as my NAS with Ubuntu. And my āthinā clients are all based on CE. I think itās the best of both worlds. In my opinion the only client that can compete feature wise with CE is the Nvidia Shield. They have full DV and widevine support but also some downsides.
I guess there will never be a box that can do everything.
Sorry, Iām confused a bit. Iāve veen mentioned here, so let me ask.again: could you bump simple iptv addon version? Iām not aware your addons build process, when is it expected to rebuild from latest sources and put to repo?
You donāt understand. Simple IPTV addon is available for Matrix. What I asked is to sync with latest mainstream sources 7.5 version and build for Coreelec, Coreelec is still 7.4.
I have even asked how to build addon and cross compile for arm/Amlogic but did not get any answer, Iām sure thatās not difficult but I need simple tip how to do that.

Iām building addon for you right now. Just wait one hour.
git clone https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC.git -b coreelec-19 CoreELEC-19
cd CoreELEC-19
make
./scripts/create_addon pvr.iptvsimple
I think it works fine without make stage to create image itself.
You also need to change version in packages/mediacenter/kodi-binary-addons/pvr.iptvsimple/package.mk.
PKG_VERSION="7.5.0-Matrix"
PKG_SHA256=""
I clean up a little the posts.

Ok, how is it bound to official sources?
https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.iptvsimple/commits/Matrix
Will latest 7.5 version commit be included? Sorry, I want to understand how it works, as thereās no official guide I am able to find.
It will be included in some next CE19 version. Until then addon must be build manually.
I mean what happens if I build as you posted - manually. I mean if only 7.5 version bump will be included, or also all remaining newer commits
Version bump to 7.5 is here: https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.iptvsimple/commit/715d2447c1670ae108472885e1c6da7cd8cd42e0
But new commits after it are there also
You are looking in wrong place, you need version tag. It used in current addon source:

Ok so thatās what I suspected, git tag is used. What should I do to include all commits and use head (include most recent commit pushed to branch)? Or any specific commit? Can I put commit hash to mk file?
Use the commit as version like
PKG_VERSION="03e050f16a6c9d5dbf5b4c77d9f416ed2de07227"
PKG_SHA256=""

You are right. Point is, with a clean install, rewind and fast forward works. I am sure, all the little annoyances I experienced will go away this way, too. So I am biting the bullet and installing everything new, from scratch.
From first impression, my TV switches from tv mode to the correct HDMI port. This didnāt work earlier.
One question though: in which database file is KODi storing the watched state of movies/shows? I would like to at least restore those. If itās possible.
Hello, I have got a problem with playback h265 videos.
dmesg: http://ix.io/2SHA
ce-log: http://ix.io/2SHz
My setup: Odroid N2, CE19.0, clean install, Philips 70PUS TV
On CE 9.2.6 h265 video played correctly.
ON CE19 it played correctly 2 times, but mostly like in video above.
What I tried: to change HDMI cable, turn 8-bit colors on, whitelisted resolution, 4:2:2 colour subsampling, change HDMI setup in Philips TV (optimum/standard)
Thank you for any help, advice.
