Read the documentation, familiarize yourself with the how everything works, and THEN ask questions. Also I will repeat this is NOT the EmuELEC forum, please stop posting these questions here, although the source code is very similar with CoreELEC most of the packages you have issues with are NOT in CoreELEC

And please, read the documentation just in case its not clear
