Don't know what you did. I have used it to copy files around and to and from USB devices without issues. That's why I suggested it.
I tried the file manager in the manner suggested, but the usb stick did not show up.
Anyway I'm fed up with the lack of progress and will try a completely fresh re-install from scratch. Thanks anyway for trying.
The complete re-install went just fine, the TV function works perfectly. I still can't connect to my media files here. I had a look with putty and the paths needed to this pc aren't there. I'll make a copy of one of sources.xml file that should work and try that.
Okay I edited the sources.xml file. It looks the same as I was told to make it a couple of pages ago. All the paths are 100% correct.
Am I right in thinking that when I go to the Files tab in LE, those paths should show up? They used to, when it worked perfectly before this recent disaster.
They certainly don't show up like they do in Bluerib's post on page 2. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qwxf5g9oqjmswwjpiamjyoeys4koahbc/view
I deleted the old Kodi user and created a new one, libreelec, with admin privileges. The user has a password of libreelec as well.
I have tried a number of different combinations to get any of them to work, but none do -> See the various attempts and the error returned written on that photo. (apologies for the poor quality photos)
And in other news, the TV function has also stopped working. FFS ....
Try this, at the bottom of the page on Kodi where it says add network location, add location, fill in ip address, protocol, user name password. etc
Then go back to add movies to the library using your the network location

I think that's what I just posted a heap of photos about.

yes, sorry, I can't quite see, but it looks like your username is librelec not libreelec

I checked, no it's libreelec. Ta for trying though.
Have you tried to use NFS instead of smb?
although you might need to change settings on the pc.
I assume, that the Libreelec ip address is in the same range? 192.168.0.x one of your last pictures shows 192.168.0.8 but in previous posts there seemed to be network addresses with 192.168.1.x
Also check the pc address is not changing
I use a fixed ip address for all of my boxes. I then use nfs, but that is because the movies are on a nas.
I think you have to use username password for a windows 10 share. Use a user with a password for your share

I think I've done that, but if not can you please explain where I need to add/use that?

This is the guide I used to add a new local user account:
Again, you should add some media to your Windows 7 computer - set up password protected sharing and try accessing your media. If it works, then your problem is the Windows 10 computer.
Remember, the Windows 7 computer will have a different IP address.
I don't like the idea of editing a password file using SSH. The "add network location" method should work just fine.

Yep I did exactly that.

I tried on the W7 pc, I turned on sharing needing a password (Change Advanced Sharing Settings) but it never asks for a password in any menu I can find. However, if I go to Add Network Location in the LE box, then use the IP address of the W7 pc along with the shared folder name, it does try to connect. But as you'd expect since the folder doesn't have a password it won't go any further. If I use the name of the W7 pc, it just does the 'Invalid argument' thing again.
I'm going to record a video of exactly what I'd doing with this W10 pc, hopefully someone can pick up on whatever error I might be making. I've done my best to exactly what's been given to me but it just does not work.
