This is quick install for WebDAV on Windows using XAMPP (install only Apache and PHP): Download XAMPP

After installation create password file for webdav user (-c creates new file!)

C:\xampp\apache\bin\htdigest.exe -c "C:\xampp\apache\user.passwd" "XAMPP with WebDAV" miki

In file C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf uncomment modules, add auth_digest module and include dav

LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so

LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so

Include conf/extra/httpd-dav.con

In file C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-dav.conf add before </Directory>

<Limit PROPFIND>
  DirectoryIndex never-encounterable-file-name.html
</Limit>

and start server.

This should work for plain webdav (no ssl)

<source>
  <name>Webdav on XAMPP</name>
  <path pathversion="1">dav://miki:[email protected]/webdav</path>
  <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
</source>

To make it running over SSL run

cd C:\xampp\apache
makecert.bat

and set Common Name

# Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:your.server.name.domain

Then copy file C:\xampp\apache\conf\ssl.crt\server.crt to LibreELEC box under file /storage/.config/cacert.pem and run

openssl-config

and use as a source

<source>
  <name>Webdav on XAMPP</name>
  <path pathversion="1">davs://miki:[email protected]/webdav</path>
  <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
</source>

Something like that Default webdav folder is C:\xampp\webdav\ and can be changed in C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-dav.conf.

I assume you should tweak my.cnf to enable more verbose logging.

It is under Services.

Now the file is downloaded instantly.

You already mentioned VPN: would not that be easier to achieve? You only need to install VPN addon on LibreELEC and install OpenVPN server on your Windows where JRiver is running. I assume DLNA is used in JRiver?

Wait for network... How did we overlook that one?

Because it is wrongly implemented

Seems something is wrong with the addon server because here it needs more than 6 seconds before start to download file.

Your log clearly say Can't connect to MySQL server on. Which means there is no connection to your sql server. Maybe IP was changed?

If you have ssh console try restarting kodi to see if it is really network timeout problem

systemctl restart kodi

I'm sure your DNS resolution doesn't work. Can you try if ping of this address works? Probably not. So you need to fix that first (like adding DNS server in LE settings).

Was MAMP suggested because of using MAC? Because there are alternatives WAMP, MAMP and LAMP Stack : Install PHP, Apache, Perl, MySQL - Downloads

Or let me ask another way: for which operating system you need server part? I did test it on Ubuntu but not switched to use it yet (still on HTTP).

Comparing Kodi 17 and 18 is not fair.

From this post I would say there are issues? But I'm no expert on certificates (despite that I implemented different transport protocols in our products including TLS): Obtain certificate for my DDNS domain - Help - Let's Encrypt Community Support

service.mariadb-9.0.100-rpi2.arm.zip

Enable debug log in kodi and check what happen when you press this hash key.

Under which xml node you have specified this runaddon()? Do you even have addon installed?

Sadly you can not have a reliable SSL certificate for a dyndns server, or at least I was not able to read enough to accomplish just that.

What is the issue with it?

Quote from TheWojtek

However I have no idea how would KODI/LE react for a source that has a self-signed certificate.

Without a problem I think? Just needs to provide ca's cert in /storage/.config/cacert.pem.

I know I guy who is using SFTP without a problem.

Maybe you should check kodi log for any clues what is wrong. I'm using HTTPS also without a problem.

No, no, I was not teasing you. It's just I never really used sftp or ftps. But I would say I'm very good with problem solving

Anyway, good that it is working for you too. Next time you could also look for webdav or sshfs.
