Doesn't anyone bother to read the blog post?

LibreELEC (Krypton) v8.1.2 BETA – LibreELEC

With respect I have mate, and I was fully aware of the impact this update would have.

But the blog post only seems to be for the understanding of developers - for the novice, and possibly even the intermediate user like myself, a set of simple steps (and possibly even screenshots), or even a link to such, would have been an excellent addition to help users workaround this impact. The blog post has to be read several times to be understood clearly by the novice, and even then is still missing the steps to resolve such impacts and maintain the excellent experience LibreElec and Kodi give us.

Hope this makes sense - no hard feelings at all, just constructive feedback

You need to force smb1...its a setting in kodi system settings-services..smb1

Cheers - so Settings > Services > Minimum support protocol should be changed to SMB1?

Quote from Klojum

Your 'file server' needs to be forced to use SMB v2 or higher.

are there any guides on this site for doing this using LibreElec / Kodi?

hi there - I managed to add my shared network directories via SMB, however I cannot see the files in the network locations either through File Manager or through the Library directory. Am I missing something? The device I'm using is a Raspberry Pi 2 with latest LibreElec version and Kodi 17.4

Worked like a charm - thanks for your help Sholander.

Re-quoting the steps for clarification in case anyone was equally as confuzzled as I was:

Put your SD card in a Windows PC, and you'll see contents of Fat32 card's partition. There you'll see a file named "config.txt". Open that file with any text editor (Notepad will do) and copy "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi" text (without quotes and paste it to the end of config.txt file. Save the file and try it on Pi if it works as expected...

i have to apologise for my ignorance, this should be bread and butter for me, just can't understand how easy it is to yet not explained this way in ANY tutorial I've read to date.

I may come back if there are any issues ☺️

sorry for the delay in replying - thanks for this.

Noob question though, how or where do I enter this code? Vital piece of info that didn't seem to be visible in all the tutorials I've read ...

Hi there,

Can someone advise the best way for me to disable the onboard WiFi on a Raspberry Pi 3 with LibreELEC? I've seen various tutorials on the internet but don't really relate to LibreELEC. I intend to use a WiFi dongle for a better signal strength.
