    Nevermind.. I guess with Windows getting rid of home groups, I needed to turn on the passwords for each instance of LE. Once I did that, they seem to be connecting. They do not always show up as a network device, but I can access the file systems now.

    I was going to delete my thread, but I don't see a button for that. :)

    I have several LE boxes running on old laptops. In the past, the LE instances would show on my network and I could connect to them. They all have no trouble reaching my media server (win 11), but none of the windows PCs will connect to the LE instances to look at files.

    My windows network: One Windows 10 PC that I use as a media server, one Win 10 laptop, and one Win 11 laptop (two Win 11 if I put my work laptop on my home network and try to test with that). I can usually see one or sometimes two instances of the LE boxes (not all three), but when I try to connect, it just tells me it can't find the device and that the name must be wrong. When I refresh the network page, it picks up at least one of the boxes again (sometimes two, but never that third for some reason), but gives me the same error.

    Each LE instance has a static IP address. I have SMB enabled on all three with min SMB being SMB v1 and max being SMB v3. I have enabled pretty much all of the various communications protocols to see if any of them will allow me to communicate to the LE instances and enabled the share external drive button. My server appears to be using SMB v2, so I have also set one of the boxes to only use SMB v2. I am running LE 11.0.1 and 11.0.6 (x2).

    Also, for clarification, I can connect via http (viewing the instance of Kodi), but not as a network device where I would be able to get to the file system.

    Sorry if this has been answered somewhere. I searched here and have done some general google searches, but haven't found anything useful.

    Thanks in advance!

    Code
    video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60

    ^ remove the current video= string and use that. What happens?

    I was hopeful, but no change.

    Maybe you switched from x86 Generic-legacy to Generic since the update.

    Use Generic-legacy. You can apply the update folder method to switch.

    I used the update channel in LibreElec config tool, but it does look like I am using 11.0.1 Generic.x86_64

    I tried the legacy image, that did the trick! My laptop doesn't have nVidia, but I guess it qualifies as an "older PC" :)

    Thank you both!!

    I'm having a similar issue. I am using an older "broken" laptop with Intel graphics. I had HDMI video output on whichever version of 10 I was previously using (10.95.1, maybe?). I updated to 11, and lost video out of the HDMI port. Audio is passing thru the port no problem. I get video to the TV during boot at the LibreElec splash screen (and when powering down), but as soon as the Kodi splash screen comes up, it cuts out. Kodi is not showing me any options to routing video thru HDMI.

    I added "video=LVDS-1:d" to the APPEND string in /flash/syslinux.cfg, but nothing changes after I save it and reboot

    LibreELEC:~ # tail /sys/class/drm/*/status

    ==> /sys/class/drm/card0-DP-1/status <==

    disconnected

    ==> /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status <==

    connected

    ==> /sys/class/drm/card0-LVDS-1/status <==

    connected

    ==> /sys/class/drm/card0-VGA-1/status <==

    disconnected

    Thank you for any wisdom you may have to share! :)

    First, i wanted to say a big THANK YOU!! for compiling libreELEC with the older nVidia drivers.

    The issue I am having is with my paid IPTV service, using IPTV Simple Client (or even when playing channels directly from the addon). The service works, but playback is not smooth. I have no issues playing media streamed from a shared drive in my windows network.

    In playing with all of the settings, I discovered I can get a channel to play normally if I enable "Colour Management" under System Settings -> Display, with no LUT file selected. The channel syncs up and playback becomes smooth. If I stop and restart a channel, or try to change a channel with this setting enabled, I get no video at all. To change a channel, I have to go back into settings, untick the radio button, go back to TV to select my channel, then back to settings again to reenable colour management.

    I'm curious if anyone else has had similar issues with IPTV streaming in LE? Is it possible I need an even older video driver? Everything else about this build seems to work flawlessly, though I've not tried any other addons yet, as I want to resolve this issue.

    Thanks!
