network access problem

  • Hi,

    i'm using the 8.0.2 version of LE on my Intel NUC for media playback. The source for movies and TV series is a Synology NAS on a different location which is accessible via openVPN. I configured my database a long time ago, before i had to move to different from my NAS, i used the hostname of my NAS to setup the smb access for movies and tv series and it worked fine on local network, but not anymore through vpn.

    I thought it would be a simple solution to add the host name and ip address of my NAS to the hosts file but unfortunately Kodi isn't access the SMB share which is added with hostname. If i logon to libreelec and i try to ping the 'NAS' on it's host name it is working fine.

    Could you please tell me what should i do, to solve the problem?

    LibreELEC-NUC:~ # ping nas

    PING nas (192.168.1.5): 56 data bytes

    64 bytes from 192.168.1.5: seq=0 ttl=64 time=3.411 ms

    Content of the hosts file:

    # hosts.conf

    # This configuration file allows you to manually map hostnames to

    # IP addresses

    # Format: <ipaddress> <hostname1> <hostname2>

    # Example: 192.168.0.3 libreelec libreelec.mynetwork

    # NOTE: do not edit /etc/hosts directly

    # edit /storage/.config/hosts.conf then reboot
