The complete re-install went just fine, the TV function works perfectly. I still can't connect to my media files here. I had a look with putty and the paths needed to this pc aren't there. I'll make a copy of one of sources.xml file that should work and try that.
Edit - I found out why I can't read files from a USB stick. It's because I put the stick into the USB slot in the front of the box, it needs to go in the rear. I found that on some site, anyway that works now.
Don't know what you did. I have used it to copy files around and to and from USB devices without issues. That's why I suggested it.
I tried the file manager in the manner suggested, but the usb stick did not show up.
Anyway I'm fed up with the lack of progress and will try a completely fresh re-install from scratch. Thanks anyway for trying.
Use the built-in File Manager. With the Confluence skin it's under Settings - I assume somewhere similar if using Estuary.
Ta - I tried that and to my complete lack of surprise, it doesn't work.
Back to trying to get TVheadhnd working. It kept asking for a user name & password. I used the ones that I'd entered a short while before.
Hey guess what? They don't work.
So I uninstalled TVheadend back & front ends and then re-installed them. I specifically did not set any login names or passwords this time.
Hey guess what? That doesn't work either. I keep on getting asked for log-in details that don't exist.
Another idea as a temporary work-around ..... How do I read files off a USB stick with the LE box? It's got a USB port in the front and it's fairly easy to copy files from this pc to the stick and then to the LE box.
I tried doing what was in this video below, and surprise, surprise it doesn't work. Does anything work as it's supposed to LibreElec????
No progress but some more info, perhaps.
(Yet again) I tried to add thus pc via the SMB share thingy, but without adding in the share folder name. The error window "connection refused" popped up. I also tried including adding the log-in for the Kodi user for this pc. I guess that means that it's at least trying to connect to this pc, right?
I tried various combinations of capitals, etc.
Reboot or reload Windows ?
Hell no! It's far too big a job for that.

I would check my posts #12 & 26 again and make sure you covered ALL settings. You could reboot your router and make sure the Windows 10 IP Address is the same.
It looks like you covered all bases. Make sure you don't add any slashes when inputting the IP Address or share folder.
You said it worked before you rebooted (restarted) your Windows 10 computer. Then the problem must be Windows 10. You could also try a Network Reset (last resort).
Yep, all done and checked again.
I have an idea. Put some media files on your Windows 7 machine and see if you can access and play them. Don't forget to set-up password protected sharing on the Win7 machine.
I'll try that soon, thanks.
I have to reboot this PC for an unrelated reason, I'll see if it's any better after that.
Do you use a different login and password for both user accounts ? If so, try the other user / password.
My primary account has no log-in details, I've never set them.
Have you solved that problem yet? I also met some similar problems with my project
Nope, still trying to fix it.
Yep! However I'm still getting the "Invalid Argument" thing.
Anyone, please?
I turned off the firewalls (domain, private, and public) and still no change; the error message "Invalid Argument" pops up every time.
I created a password.xml file and saved it. Still no file sharing happening yet. I rebooted the LE box once, I'll leave it for a bit longer and see if it'll find the W10 pc then.
How do I do that?
Edit - If I use that path in putty, an empty file seems to be the one that opens, so I guess there isn't one.
Okay I tried that and it's unfortunately made no difference at all. I tried a couple of re-boots of the LE box, but still no progress.
I took a screen capture of the putty thing yesterday before trying to alter it. The URL's are correct, I didn't change those. The current version is much shorter and naturally has not got links to this computer that has the media files on it.
Okay A minuscule bit of progress. I got access to TVHeadEnd via my browser and started setting it up. I was then asked to log-in again and when I entered the correct user & password it refuses to recognise them. I have double checked this with the settings on the LE box. I entered them again to be sure.
And since I can access the LE box on the network, how on earth can it not see the homegroup ???
Any helpful suggestions please?
