Libreelec frozen on Kodi Leia logo

1st Official Post

    Dear all,

    I changed my internet provider today.

    My libreelec device is connected to wired network and his streaming from a Synology NAS, with a shared librady.

    With the provider change, the IP adress of the NAS has changed, causing the advanced setting file not uptodate.

    I was expecting to loose my source but now, my libreelec device is completely frozen on Kodi leia welcome page.

    I don't know what to do: It bothers me to do a fresh install from scratch...

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks.

    Regards

    Guillaume

    Changing a provider should not change your local network addresses, unless you also have a new/different router.

    In a decent router you should be able to change the DHCP pool from which all your local network devices get their IP addresses.

    In a decent router you should also be able to fixate certain IP addresses for selected network devices, which is recommended for (for example) NAS devices and other servers.

    In your router's summary or other info, you should also see the (new) IP address of your NAS. Once you know the new IP address, you can change it in Kodi's advancedsettings.xml file, as you previously did for connecting to the shared library. With that new IP address, Kodi should work again.
