Forgive me. I didn't realize that torrent add-on was still part of my signature. Originally, this add-on was not a banned add-on when I created my signature. Thank you for pointing it out; I have amended my signature accordingly. Didn't mean any disrespect.

Hi guys,

I'm looking at cutting costs on my Cable subscription. I have gotten rid of my cable box rentals in most of my rooms by replacing them with the Xfinity Stream app running on my android and Roku devices. The only room left is my living room, which holds my favorite device, Chromebox with LibreElec. I've searched around and know there is no Kodi addon for Xfinity Stream.

I'm interested to know if any of you have gone thru this scenario and the options I have available. I'd hate to have to dedicate another device (android based) solely for watching my cable subscription. I also know I can go the HDHomerun way, but if this is my only option, I'd like to wait for the release of their upcoming box.

What is your best advise for my situation?

One more question.... shouldn't disabling IPv6 on my wifi SSID settings also suffice?

IPv6 is currently off there, but at random times, whenever I check my public IP address, sometimes it shows me my IPv4 address and other times it shows my IPv6 address. ?

Quote from vpeter

Run this command from ssh:

Code

echo "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1" >/storage/.config/sysctl.d/ipv6.conf

Thank you. Can you please also provide the command to undo this? In the event that I do want to use IPv6.

Sorry, confused. What is the command I need to permanently disable IPV6 on each boot. (and to which file)

Thank you.

Running the following command allowed me to see the shares. Now, how do I access them in GUI?

Here's what the samba.conf file currently reads:

#======================= Global Settings =======================

[global]

## Browsing/Identification ###

# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
   workgroup = WORKGROUP

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
    server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)

# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server
#   wins support = no

# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
;   wins server = w.x.y.z

# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.
   dns proxy = no

# This is the change I did that should allow you to connect to SMB shares using SMB2
   protocol = SMB2

Hi,

Running LibreElec 8.2.0 on Asus Chromebox and can easily access all SMB folders from my Windows 10 machine. However, I cannot access LibreElec SMB folders using Linux Mint 18.2 x64.

Google searching led me to some people amending /etc/samba/samba.conf on Linux Mint to include below under [global]:

protocol = SMB2

I've done this (unless I did it wrong), but I still cannot access SMB folders.

Can someone please help me resolve this?

Great, thank you! To be sure I understood correctly,

1. I will add these two location to samba.conf.sample

2. delete original samba.conf

3. rename samba.conf.sample to samba.conf

4. reboot

Confirmed. Performing above solved my issue. Thank you.

That's how I understand it. I haven't got around to updating yet.

Thank you sir. Will do this when I get home today and will confirm results.

Quote from trogggy

AFAIK you need to remake your samba.conf from samba.conf.sample, so it includes the latest changes.

Great, thank you! To be sure I understood correctly,

1. I will add these two location to samba.conf.sample

2. delete original samba.conf

Hi guys,

I noticed that after installing LibreElec's update 8.1.2, I lost access to these two folders that I had previously added to the samba.conf file:

/storage

/storage/.kodi/

I immediately checked my samba.conf file (/storage/.config/samba.conf) and these two locations are still there as follows:

[Storage]

path = /storage

available = yes

browsable = yes

public = yes

writable = yes

root preexec = mkdir -p /storage

[Kodi]

path = /storage/.kodi

available = yes

browsable = yes

public = yes

writable = yes

root preexec = mkdir -p /storage/.kodi

Can someone please advise, what am I missing?

Quote from lrusak

update channels will only show when automatic updates are set to manual.

That explains it. Thank you!

Hi guys,

I am currently running official version of LibreElec v8.0.2 MR on ASUS Chromebox i3 processor. Any particular reason why these two options are missing from my update settings?

The only two options I have are:

1. Automatic Updates (auto/manual)

2. Show Update Notifications (off/on)

Quote from nickr

There is no such thing. The available addons are in libreelec addons.

Thanks for confirming. Can you please advise where I can get openvpn from as it's not in the libreelec addons?

Hi guys,

Newbie here on LibreELEC for about a week, but been using OpenELEC for quite some time now. I'd like to install OpenVPN, Transmission, Chrome, etc. etc. on LibreELEC. However, I don't see an unoffical repo for Libre, the way OpenELEC had their unofficial addons.

Can someone please confirm if there's such a thing? If not, where do I get all these unoffical programs from? Do I need to install OpenELEC repo?
