I just tried on a RPi4 (4G) without any issues.

I remember seeing something similar in the past, caused by a lack of memory. There was a fix, but I cannot remember what it was but it was basically reducing picture thumbnails. Search Kodi thumbnails in your favourite search engine and you might find an answer.

If you're still having issues.

It would help if you had advised us of your HW (RPi, X86 etc) and release of LE you are using.

..... and what does this have to do with LibreELEC?

Please create a *new* thread as the scrapper problem is not related to the title.

No idea why it works on OSMC and not LE. I have a 4TB Seagate USB drive which doesn't work on LE, where a 2TB Seagate does. I guess more power is required for the larger drive.

The other alternative is a "dodgy" power supply, which is dropping the voltage too much.

Access LE via command line Here and post the URL from

dmesg | paste

As this is a USB powered device, I have a feeling it is failing due to low power. Use a powered hub and see if that improves things.

Unless you see a yellow lightning bolt on boot then you *should* not have a problem.

To be SURE:

vcgencmd get_throttled.

If 0x0 then you are fine.

However that is just the RPi, not an overall quality. Check dmesg for -7xx issues.

I've ALWAYS used official RPi power supply without any issues.

Wavemon is a simple command line graphical utility to monitor Wifi details - similar to iwconfig but in a more user visual display.

*Should* only need libncurses5 in addition to the binaries.

I tend to use "native" NFS not SMB for preference but if that is not possible - try the SMB native, Also 5GHz if not already (Depends on location, distances etc.)

To test the Wifi strength use:

watch -n 5 iwconfig or use one of the many apps on your phone.

If you want more detailed information, boot Raspbian and install wavemon.

Also you didn't explain what your NAS is - maybe that is the issue.

Can you also explain what USB Wifi you are using. If using a "small" dongle, then you're not going to get much better reception than the internal one. Get one with a big antenna.

Try to move the adapter (with a extension cable) so that it is not blocked by anything - eg. TV, bookcase.

As TonP mentioned No. 4 is the one to go for if you have to, but Kodi, with all their years of experience probably know more than us mere mortals.

Generally mucking about with the video cache will have little effect unless you know what you are doing. Any changes usually have a knock on event elsewhere.

In you case, you have memorysize of 0. So unless you have LE booting from a USB HDD/SSD with at least 16GB of free space, you will run into issues with Kodi stalling or even crashing. If booting from SD then you are putting a lot of wear and tear on your card, which could also be causing problems.

I would remove your changes in advancedsettings.xml and look at your SMB server and Wifi connection.

I had similar issues which was resolved by buying a decent Wifi adapter (With a large aerial) and using 5GHz

You could also try "native" SMB connections Wiki rather than the Kodi internal SMB connection.

I managed to recreate the error - but still no idea what is causing it.

Edit the SD card on *another* machine.

cd /storage/kodi/userdata
cp profiles.xml profiles.xml.orig
rm profiles.xml
touch profiles.xml

Place SD card in RPi and boot. It should start up in safemode.

To return to normal operation:

cd /storage/kodi-FAILED/userdata
rm profiles.xml
cp profiles.xml.orig profiles.xml

Now reboot and Kodi should start normally.

Sorry: I'm not too sure what you are asking.

Do you want to know how to create the directories within Kodi or via the command line?

Maybe you could expand you question.

As this is Kodi addon and not supported by LE, I would suggest looking in the Kodi Forum for a solution.

You might be able to run a docker container for it - if one exists.

Alternatively you could try netdata which is available in LE Here

There used to be a Kodi Addon to do this but I don't think it is being maintained anymore.

So access LE via SSH and create the file advancedsettings.xml in /storage/.kodi/userdata

Reboot or restart Kodi for the settings to become active.

Even *if* it was possible to compile RPI4 for Kodi 17 I doubt anyone would bother to "downgrade" their release.

CoreELEC is Amlogic only so no use.

OpenELEC is *dead* AFAIK

Raspbian *might* work but I doubt it - the only way to find out is to try.

GeeXboX seems to be dead also.

I guess your *best* solution is to use an older RPi3.
