Totally bewildered by SMB share or mounting an attached external drive.
First thank you all.I am new to LibreElec and Linux.
With the information here and in the Kodi forum I have successfully installed Libreelec on my chromebox.
I have Tvheadend 4.2 runningI have EPG working, recording and time-shifting
Wow, I thought Tvheadend and the EPG was going to fry my brain in its shell.
I am totally lost with how to mount a smb share or an attached external drive to record to.
Most of what I have read is over my head.
I have searched and read here as well as both the kodi and tvheadend forums.
I have aMac Mini OSX 10.8.5 hosts my sharesChromebox with LibreElec 7.95.1 and tvheadend 4.2
Any guidance is greatly appreciated
thank you

Are you asking how to share a drive under MAC OSX or how to access it from LE?
If LE. Go to Videos --> Add source --> Windows SMB -> Select server address (NB: This may not work as there was an issue with SMB in LE 7.95.x) so add it directly as smb://<server address>/<folder>

Thank you for the reply
I can add the shares in kodi as a sources no problem.
That is working great.
I need to mount a share that tvheadend will recored to.
I would prefer a location on my networked drives but even an attached external drive or sd card would help.
I do not understand how to mount either in LibreElec so tvheadend can see it.
Thank you -
I found a recommendation to use this
Mounting network shares - OpenELEC
before I attempt to fumble my way through this,
1. is this still the way to go?
2. will this work with smb shares from a mac?
thanks -
Yes the systemd method is the way to go.
I see no reason why it shall not work with any smb share (linux/mac/windows/whatever). -
thank you for the reply
i will start reading now to learn how to make it work
thanks
