Ok, I really don't know how to proceed with this issue.

I have a X86 based media server. It's a Core2 quad based machine with an SSD for the OS and stuff, 3 hard drives and the ubiquitous optical. One of my drives is a bit old and SMART reports that it has a few unreadable sectors so I thought I'd swap it out with a new 2TB drive, specifically a Toshiba PCP300. The drive is SATA3 and the Asus Mboard is Sata2. The BIOS recognizes the drive no problem but LibreELEC doesn't. At all. It just doesn't show up in media with the other mounted hard drives. If I use a SATA3 PCIX drive controller the Asus BIOS sees the controller and drive but still LibreELEC ignores the drive. Now, if I put the drive in a generic USB2 drive enclosure and plug it in via an external USB port no problem. LibreELEC sees the drive and mounts it with the basic NTFS partition I put on it when the drive was in my PC which is also SATA2 (I'm kinda poor) and was immediately recognized by W10. Is LibreELEC somehow discriminating against this drive?

Ok, well everything is back to normal. I did the old TV equivalent of hitting the side of the box and the video playback returned. I actually went into System, System Settings, then selected Display, then scrolled to the bottom and selected the last option 'Reset Above Settings to Default' and select 'Yes' in the confirmation box and press enter or OK on the remote. Then back out all the way to the top level and then select a video or a video stream and play it. Video playback works! Or at least it does for me. This time at least. I don't know why this worked especially since there was nothing on this page that I modified. But there you go. If you're video playback suddenly stops working, try this.

Allow me to provide you with the details.

I enabled debugging as per the WIKI. I then logged off of LibreElec and powered down the computer.

Then powered on the computer and LibreElec came up as normal.

Then played '2001' video, and same behaviour

Then played 'Boundin' video and same behaviour.

So my system is a generic intel m-board, graphics is Geforce 950. Brand new build with latest download. 4GB of memory and everything is running fine except that this evening the video playback stopped working. The UI is functioning correctly, Both audio streaming and audio library are working correctly but as soon as I play any video The screen does not switch, about ten seconds of audio plays and then nothing. on the top right it shows the file being 'played' and the UI is still active. The file or stream is not being played and there is a small performance dip. If I press the stop button on the remote the file is removed from the top right of the screen and there's is a brief flicker as everything returns to normal. I also pulled the card and tried it on the integral m-board Intel graphics but the response was exactly the same. What did I do or what went ping in the system that I didn't notice? More importantly, how do I fix it. Any help would be gratefully received,

Yep, that's solved that problem. Thank you so much Troggy.

Yes, I'm a noob, we're all a noob at something. I've just completed a build in an old Antec cased media server and everything works perfectly. However sometimes you just can't protect against the wetware. This is one such case. Just 'because' I selected the CinemaRX scraper for my movie library. Now all my descriptions and half the titles are in Romanian?? Anyway they're not in the English I understand. So no problem, I'll just delete the scraper and use the one I should have selected further down the list. Except I can't because the uninstall option is greyed out and I can't figure out for the life of me how to delete it. I suspect I've got to delete a database file somewhere or something but I learnt long ago you don't go speculatively deleting files in a Linux/Unix system unless you like the fun of a borked system. So if there's anybody out there that could point this aged brain in the right direction I would be very grateful.
