Hi. I am using an rpi4 (rpi4a) as libreelec player and another rpi4 (rpi4b) as a file server. I also have a pc running pfsense as the router for the entire network
On the libreelec box, I have added the rpi4b as a file source, using the box's host name "rpi4b". It works fine before
I think the problem started two versions ago. Whenever I tried to access rpi4b, the interface took like half a minute, then present me with a "No Route to Host" error message. If I added rpi4b as an SMB source using its IP address, I can access it fine in libreelec
Libreelec SMB minimum version is set to v1 and I didn't set the versions of SMB share in rpi4b (default)
I don't have problem using hostnames for other network shares (a few WD Mybooklive drives, an old Asus router and my personal PC)
The funny thing is I was able to mount the SMB shares of rpi4b in rpi4a using the instructions from https://wiki.libreelec.tv/how-to/mount_network_share using the host name
One of the .mount file:
rpi4a:~/.config/system.d # cat storage-videos-rpi4b-mybook8.mount
[Unit]
Description=cifs mount script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service
[Mount]
What=//rpi4b/mybook8
Where=/storage/videos/rpi4b/mybook8
Options=username=linx,password=<removed>,rw,vers=2.1
Type=cifs
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.targetPinging rpi4b from rpi4a works fine:
rpi4a:~/.config/system.d # ping rpi4b
