SMB with Libreelec 8.2 and TimeCapsule not working

Your IP address, your path.

weird that the IP adress and path are different from each other.

Hello,

I'm trying to use my Time Capsule but impossible.

I am on Librelec Milhouse #0429.

I tried everything.

This first method but not working so I don't know if I'm doing well : I created a file storage.timecapsule.mount with the code and put the file in /storage/.configfiles/system.d/ and /storage/.configfiles/sysctl.d but nothing after reboot.

[Unit]
Description=TimeCapsule Mount Script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service

[Mount]
What=//192.168.1.128/Data
Where=/storage/timecapsule
Options=username=MyUsername,password=MyPassword,sec=ntlm,vers=1.0
Type=cifs

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save that ^ as /storage/.config/system.d/storage.timecapsule.mount then "systemctl enable /storage/.config/system.d/storage.timecapsule.mount" and reboot, and the local mount to the device should be available to add as a new source in Kodi. It appears to be stable for me over a period of several hours. If 'mount' works the issue appears to be in smbclient or how Kodi interacts with smbclient.

This second method, but not working too : I created the file autostart.sh and put it in storage/.configfiles. I reboot but nothing.

Bash

#!/bin/sh
(sleep 10 && mount -o remount,discard /flash && mount -o remount,discard /storage && mount -t cifs //192.168.1.128/Data /storage/timecapsule -o username=MyUsername,password=MyPassword,unc=\\\\192.168.1.128\\Data,sec=ntlm,vers=1.0)&

Is there someone could me explain step by step how to do it because I don't understand why it's not working for me..

Thanks a lot !

Pleaseeeeeee

Chewitt,

Thank you for your answer. I renamed storage.timecapsule.mount with storage-timecapsule.mount on my 2 files in /storage/.configfiles/system.d/ and /storage/.configfiles/sysctl.d But still nothing...

I dit it

I reboot Kodi but I have still the same Error : Impossible to connect

When I reboot Kodi, do I have to do a special operation ?

Thank you

I reboot the whole OS.

systemctl status storage-timecapsule.mount :

● storage-timecapsule.mount - TimeCapsule Mount Script
   Loaded: loaded (/storage/.config/system.d/storage-timecapsule.mount; disabled

So I just did this : systemctl enable /storage/.config/system.d/storage-timecapsule.mount

I have this :

Created symlink /storage/.config/system.d/multi-user.target.wants/storage-timecapsule.mount → /storage/.config/system.d/storage-timecapsule.mount.

I just created a smb folder in storage/.kodi with a file user.conf and this code inside :

client max protocol = NT1
client use spnego = no
client NTLMv2 auth = no

Now i have this when I do : systemctl status storage-timecapsule.mount

● storage-timecapsule.mount - TimeCapsule Mount Script

Fenderman You will need to rescrape content to the library as all paths to content will change, but at least it works. It is technically possible to update the DB paths but that requires some sqlite SQL skills and I never bothered to learn those. I'm sure there's a howto somewhere.

Thank you so Much for this solution!

It's really working, the only problem is that theres a typo on your walkthought. Please consider editing it, so people wont get stuck the same way i did.

Heres the error:

"Save that ^ as /storage/.config/system.d/storage.timecapsule.mount"

This should be

"Save that ^ as /storage/.config/system.d/storage-timecapsule.mount"

And again, thank you for the solution, thats really clever
