Hi. I update to the new Libreelec Version. How can I record on a NAS? On the 8.0 Version it works like in Openelec

Mounting network shares [LibreELEC.wiki]

I guess ?

I had a similar Q the other day so I guess Tvheadend has some kind of SMB mount capabilities that are impacted by the overall SMB changes that we made in LE 8.2 and the plain smb://path/to/nas no longer works. IMHO the easiest option is to use a systemd mount in /storage/.config/system.d to locally mount the remote (NAS) filesystem at startup to somewhere like /storage/recordings and then configure Tvheadend to use that local folder.

Tvh never had these capabilities (also no NFS ...), you have to mount the fs to your box to make it work.

script at line 3 looks wrong - remove it

you have deleted username/pw I guess

you could try adding vers=2.1

Code

Options=username=nasuser1,password=123nas,rw,vers=2.1

then try again to activate the mount

I have no username or password

okay, then you likely use SMB1 aka Windows XP share (heavily outdated, bugged and highly insecure against viruses etc ...)

does it work without ?

rhartinger · February 9, 2018 at 9:24 PM

it works till the update to 8.2.3 8.0 and 7 works perfect

rhartinger · February 10, 2018 at 12:08 PM

Maybe you should set up your shares with username and password. Public writable shares are generally not a good idea.

BUt why does it work in LE 8.0

We don't support anymore the old broken Samba (Windows Shares) versions anymore that worked without username/passwords like also Windows is doing it these days.

No device after Windows XP should use this these days. If your NAS ... doesn't support anything that is standard since 10 years you can set the samba version to the ancient 1 (like said heavily broken and rather slow) at LE and it should work again (better fix your NAS instead).

rhartinger · February 10, 2018 at 11:10 PM

I have no idea what is wrong. I tried this too. I can enable the mount script but nothing happens

**CvH** · February 11, 2018 at 11:08 AM Official Post

Like said I am not too keen that shares without username/pw work at all these days. Its also unlikely that any future application/os ... will support this again.

I tried it with password but nothing changes. I only can go back to the older version
