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
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:
I have 61 SACD ISO rips. They total 166gb in size (avg size 2.7gb each). Foobar plays these ISO's flawlessly, including multi-track recordings. There are a couple related threads about this subject over at Kodi's forum (links below). I was able to extract the the DSF files from the original SACD ISO using the DSDMate plugin for Foobar2000, but when played back with Kodi, there is a LOUD (ouch) digital crackling noise between tracks. This noise is not present when using Foobar as the player though. There doesn't seem to be enough interest among developers to go further with this subject.
SACD playback issues ONLY IN KODI
SACD/DSDIFF playback in XBMC (long thread)
I use an old Sony BDP-S370 Blu Ray Player to output DSD from SACD's through an hdmi to my Pioneer Elite VSX-23 Txh AVR. The Sony Blu Ray Player can be switched from PCM to DSD output when playing an SACD. My AVR displays "SACD" during playback of the DSD signal.
