Is it solved now? If yes, mark it that way, and other HiFiBerry users will benefit.

Sorry, but it's not like that at all.The issue in this thread is about samba version, not symlinks.
A version is no technical argument.

Sounds pretty much like this.

Other users currently have WLAN issues on RPi 4, too: fresh install raspberry pi 4 5ghz wifi not working
I have no good experience when I use a small WiFi USB dongle instead of the integrated WiFi (RPi 3B+). It's no stable connection.
If you really want go the RPi 4 way, use a large WiFi dongle with an antenna. Be sure that it's Linux compatible.
If WLAN has to be stable out-of-the-box, then the brand new Nvidia Shield TV 2019 is a good 4K Kodi device, too.

The strange part is that I can access my 5ghz fine when I load Raspbian instead of Libreelec.
Good point. Provide a log file.
It could be an energy management problem, which differs LE and Raspbian.
See my post above to understand the relation between energy and 5GHz.
When I'm right, then the log file will look fine, because it will not show shortage of energy for 5GHz.

The Browse for Folder screen showed the expected local path (see above) , namely, /var/media/Maxtor 1/Artist Information.
However, I wished to use a networked path, so I selected the New folder option and entered 'smb://192.168.0.16/Maxtor 1/Artist Information/'. I obtained the following error message:
"Couldn't create folder. Make sure the selected folder is writeable and that the new folder name is valid''. The folder already exists.

Well, I didn't manage to do it with libreelec so I installed a raspbian and made it work right away...
It's a very special hardware config, so don't be surprised that I'm just guessing.
Raspbian could help you to understand, how ALSA handles the I2S device. Maybe you can use the asound.conf for LE, too.

The power button activate Power Window and standby at the same time.
Did it worked on LE 9.0.x?
What happens when you map the power button to <power>noop</power>?
What happens when you remove the power button mapping?

Manually edit your GUI settings (nano /storage/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml).
Edit two lines this way:
Code... <setting id="audiooutput.audiodevice">PI:Both</setting> ... <setting id="musicplayer.autoplaynextitem" default="true">true</setting> ...Reboot.
PS:
If this won't fix it, edit another line (it's part of the expert audio settings, not sure whether you touched it):
-
Deactivate Bluetooth.
-
Look at the output of ifconfig to see whether you have multiple WLAN adapters active. If you have a wlan0 and wlan1 on the output, you can deactivate one of them with ifconfig wlan<your_number> down.
There are different ways to deactivate an unneeded WLAN adapter permanently. Read here.
-
Good question, I'm interested to know, too. The name of the file "guisettings.xml" suggests, that it mirrors all GUI settings.

Sorry, I made an error at my explanation. According to mglae it has to be like this (merge last two lines):
DEFAULT linux
PROMPT 0
LABEL linux
KERNEL /KERNEL
APPEND boot=UUID=5DBE-1C09 disk=UUID=3a4bdefa-03f7-4274-bc32-a678e035269d quiet initcall_blacklist=i915_init

Check whether you have picture optimization activated at your TV settings (is it HDMI TV?). Picture optimization often increases the picture size beyond the edges. Deactivate those option(s) to stay inside the screen edges, and no video calibration will be needed on the LE side.

I managed to open the nano editor, but I'm not sure were exactly to copy the blacklist info. And when I type the SRTG+O I only type in the letters what am I missing? I'm confused why can't there be a LibreElec whit out this problem?
Oh man, we are really going into the total basics now.

If you open the file with nano /flash/syslinux.cfg, then watch for file content.
If there is no content (I don't have any content at my one), you can instantly start typing this:
If the file already has an APPEND line, add " initcall_blacklist=i915_init" at the end of that line.
After typing, find the key Strg on your keyboard. Sometimes the key is labeled as Ctrl or Control. It's on the bottom left of the keyboard.
Press that key, and while keeping it pressed, press the O key to store the config file.
After that, do the same with the X key to leave the editor.
Type reboot and press Enter to reboot LE.

Hi with the advent of Pi 4 4gb isn't it really about time this lack of a web browser was addressed? I do think that libreelec is the best and specifically bought the 4GB pi 4 to run libreelec but I do miss a web browser, so any chance guys and gals?
I think there is no chance. A modern web browser already is a media player in many ways. On a lean OS you don't want that double-dip. Second point: There is a strong dependency between GUI design and prefered input device. For LE the prefered input device is a TV remote control, but for a web browser it's mouse and keyboard.

Staying on the legal side has priority before privacy. We don't want logs, that have been edited to hide illegal add-on usage. And sometimes we simply need the whole story to identify a bug.
