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.
Okay I edited the sources.xml file. It looks the same as I was told to make it a couple of pages ago. All the paths are 100% correct.
Am I right in thinking that when I go to the Files tab in LE, those paths should show up? They used to, when it worked perfectly before this recent disaster.
They certainly don't show up like they do in Bluerib's post on page 2. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qwxf5g9oqjmswwjpiamjyoeys4koahbc/view
I deleted the old Kodi user and created a new one, libreelec, with admin privileges. The user has a password of libreelec as well.
I have tried a number of different combinations to get any of them to work, but none do -> See the various attempts and the error returned written on that photo. (apologies for the poor quality photos)
And in other news, the TV function has also stopped working. FFS ....
