Thank you very much for your reply.
I have the log but attempting to upload it I got an error “Failed to paste log files, try again”.
I cannot paste the log into this reply as it is over the limit.

The log url is at hastebin

Yes, I can also see the errors but I don’t understand why they are occurring or how I can overcome them. I would be grateful for any help. Would updating to 9.5-Matrix_rc3 be a possible solution?

As this was a fresh install, via Khadas oowow, I can’t understand why there are errors.

There is indeed issue with addons and will be fixed soon.

Try installing this version manually: https://addons.coreelec.org/19.4/Amlogic-ce/arm/pvr.hts/pvr.hts-19.0.6.1.zip
