Movies don't play on Pi2/3 with LE 9.2.0

1st Official Post

    I have a problem playing Videos or Music on my Raspis since I installed LE 9.2.0

    The Database is stored on a Synology NAS in a Maria DB 10.x. I use Raspis 2, 3, 3b+ all with the same behaviour. Each time I try to play a Video after a short blink it does not start.The same with Music.

    But two curious differences: The Raspis play bluray movies AND my Pi4 uses the same DB and does not show any problems.

    I think it must be a configuration problem that I don't find.

    I would enjoy if anybody could help.

    I attached the Kodi log. If you need more information, please let me know

    Thanks in advance for your hlep

    Looks like an NFS config error:

    Compare the NFS config of the RPi4B and your lower device versions.

    The Blue-ray ISO's maybe have different Linux permissions, so they work.

    Hi Da Flex,

    thanks for your advice. On the NAS the NFS configuration makes no difference between the several Raspis. Configuration is the same for all clients "*". On file level on the NAS I find "rwxrwxrwx" for all files and the respective directories.

    I am not aware that there is a special NFS configuration in Libreelec. Can you please give me a hint where I can find and how I can change it?

    Thanks a lot

    Hi everybody,

    since I didn't find a solution to make my Pis playng videos, I decided to do a completely new installation instead of trying to mount the nfs shares. Fortunately that works. Hope that I will not do any configuration faults during the next time.

    Thanks for your interest.

    I wish you all a merry christmas and a jump start into a succesful 2020

    A last remark:

    It seems the reason behind all the trouble was an inappropriate buffer size for the cache. Since I copied my advancedsettings.xml for the database configuration it also contained a cache clause .... At least erasing the cache size made the Pi running.

    So sorry again
