Does your Windows 10 Kodi user account have administrator privileges ?

My Windows 10 Kodi user account is tagged as:

Local Account

Administrator

Password Protected

To eliminate the WiFi connection as the problem, can you connect via ethernet or attached storage ?

Make sure that's the correct IP address of your Windows 10 Computer. I have included 4 images of my settings in Windows and Libreelec. Even though I added kodi / kodi for user / password when adding a share path manually, notice I have two password options turned off.

If you don't understand the instructions given to you in this thread, you should seek a friend or relative that can help you. I had the same issue that you're having and the good folks here stepped me through setting up a working SMB network. It took me a while to fully understand what is going on.

Good Luck

If your notebook / laptop does not have an hdmi port, it may not support 1920 X 1080. Can you select 1920 X 1080 in the laptop's display settings ?

What's the make and model of your laptop ?

Is your TV 720p or 1080p ?

The latest Windows 10 Spring Creators Update shut down my sharing again. I had to do this:

Control Panel (view by category)

Network and Internet

Network and Sharing Center

Change Advanced Sharing Settings

Click on All Networks (arrow down)

Turn on public folder sharing

Media Streaming (turn on)

Password Protected Sharing (I turn mine off) - you may have to turn this on (try both)

Click "Save Changes" (bottom of page) for any changes made

This got my sharing going again

Raspberry Pi3b

Windows 10

I have three raspberries running libreELEC 8.2.3. No problems. Windows network sees them as part of 'workgroup' and windows can moves files to and from smoothly. As test I upgraded one system to 8.2.5. Upgraded went well and the media system is still visible on the network but I can't access any shared folders/ files on this system. (Samba problem??) Windows says 'can't access this share'

Any advice would be welcome.

Your post is very confusing - at least to me. Maybe that's why you are getting no responses. You said "windows can moves files to and from smoothly." Then you said "Windows says 'can't access this share'". Where are your shares stored ? On a Windows 10 desktop computer ?

What is the model number of your laptop ?

Is your Sony TV's resolution 1920 X 1080

Does your laptop support 1920 X 1080 resolution ?

Do you have the laptop's screen resolution set to 1920 X 1080 ?

This is just a wild guess. When I lose connections to my Windows 10 shares, I do this:

In Windows, go to:

Control Panel

Network and Internet

Network and Sharing Center

Change Advanced Sharing Settings

expand "all networks" tab

Turn on "media streaming "

I found out that large Windows updates will cause this last option to toggle off for some strange reason.

So as you say it is not possible to make a driver for this chipset. I do use a dongle already, both for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but I think this is a bad solution. Windows install supplies quality and speed loss. Kodi works much better in Libreelec. As a backend to use a satellite receiver and it works much better in lebreelec if windows 10 so it would be a pity if that fails.

I did NOT say it was not possible to make a driver for your chipset.

PEAQ laptops are made by Lenovo. The RTL8723 chipset may not have full support in Linux according to a few threads I read. I would either use another wifi / bluetooth USB dongle or just use Windows.

Make and Model of Laptop ?

Age of Laptop ?

What versions of Libreelec have you tried ?

I would be a little patient. There is a developer here (HiassofT) that specializes in remote issues. I'm surprised he hasn't noticed this thread yet. I'm sure the fix for your issue is something really simple.

I use FileZilla to access /storage/.config

Host: sftp://your device IP (mine is 192.168.1.153)

Username: root

Password: libreelec

Press Quickconnect and say yes to trust yada yada.....

Navigate to /storage/.config (highlight .config in top right box)

Navigate to remote.conf on left side, right-click it and choose "upload"

You'll see the file appear in the bottom right corner

Download FileZilla Client

If the TV episodes are encoded using H.265/HEVC, they may cause this issue. You can use mediainfo to display the type of video files you have.

That's the remote for a Mecool M8S Pro. Scroll down to see it on this page:
