On page you need to click Advanced, Add Exception and then Confirm Security Exception
When I click on Advanced, I have no "Add Exception" button! as you can see on the attachment.
Anyway, my frustrations hit the ceiling yesterday afternoon when my Beelink AP34 miniPC crashed (I suspect overheating) and since then refuses to power up!.
I'll take few days break to figure out how I'll move on from here.
Thanks a lot for your help Vpeter.
Thanks Vpeter for the tutorial of xaamp/appache.
I managed to setup a WebDAV using IIS 10 manager. But, I have difficulty to connect to the server. Using Firefox browser, I have an error saying that the site is untrusted due to self-signed certificate. I have no button to r choice on the page to tell Firefox to trust my site!
I'll continue to fiddle out with Firefox connection and when I give up, I'll try xaamp/Apache.
The trouble is that I tried few solutions already on my media pc and I have no idea whether there is some conflicts due to that.
I try to uninstall and clean behind before installing the new solution, but I find some stuff left behind from the uninstalled software.
Thanks for you help and have a nice weekend.
Wait, you are NOT on the same VPN you want to connect to? You are not connecting home via a VPN spanning between the LibreElec unit and your home router? What is exactly the technical reason behind it?
Well, I have OpenVPN on Libreelec and it is configured to connect to Cyberghost VPN provider servers on LE startup. I can connect/disconnect from Cyberghost VPN anytime I want or I can set it up in a way that it will connect to a CG server when I use a p2p add-on and disconnect when I want to use a movie streaming add-on.
Now, I don't know how to add another OpenVPN client to allow LE to connect to an OpenVPN home server to allow streaming media over the internet.
In any case, it is not easy or evident, as I do not find tutorials out there covering this situation.
This is where I started. But, I couldn't get to the end.
That was partly because I use OpenVPN on LibreElec to connect to a VPN provider. I couldn't figure out how to connect to two different VPN servers, the provider's one and my private server!
The server need to be on a Windows 10 machine as I would love to continue to have my media available for JRiver Media Centre that I use to play Hi-Res audio, DSD and DTS-Audio. I also use JRiver to access my media library from our Android phones using Gizmo app. Finally I use the DLNA server of the JRiver to stream media to the bathroom.
So ideally the WebDAV HTTPS or any other practical solution needs to be on my Windows 10 media pc (runs Home Eddition).
If I hit a wall, I will consider using an SBC with whatever Linux, Ubuntu, Openmedia Vault etc.. I have and Odroid XU4 and a Rock64 that I can dedicate for this installation.
In the meanwhile, I'll have a look tomorrow on the link you mentioned and see how it goes.
I know I guy who is using SFTP without a problem.
Maybe you should check kodi log for any clues what is wrong. I'm using HTTPS also without a problem.
Ok Guys, my initial question/problem was answered/solved as I could connect to Filezailla server over TLS and could stream music.
Though this solution is not usable as Coreelec takes roughly 30 seconds to display the list of artists and when it takes more than 150 seconds to scan and disply the list of an album songs. Then the streaming of the song goes smoothly.
I also noticed that CE doesn't populate its local library when the remote FTPS contents are scanned.
I spent these past two days trying to iinstall WebDAV withh SSL using IIS 10, but failed. Can't see anywhere where I can create users/passwords and the self-signed certificate generated by IIS 10 is in pfx format. I tried to copy and convert this certificate to CE box on /Storage/.config, but I couldnt connect CE using WebDAV HTTPS. Already, II have not created any user/password but only the certificate because I couldn't find where to do so in IIS 10 manager.
I installed MAMP as suggested by The Wojtek and couldn't go very far as there is no place in the software to generate and/or add a certificate.
Therefore, I am knidly asking vpeter if you can guide me how to setup the HTTPS solution which I implied it is WebDAV HTTPS.
I've been struggling to find a solution for streaming over the internet for months and I presume someone who's not patient and hard headed like me would have given up since a long while. I really find it bizarre that given the technology progress and the didgital media streaming popularity, that there isn't loads of good solutions easy to install out there!
Thanks for your help.
Yes, I will have a deeper look on WebDAV as my few tests of streaming media weren't very convincing!
Music streaming is ok, but video insn't at all.
I have a fairly good internet speed (80mb download and around 16mb up).
Videos stop for almost a minute before they restart for another minute and so on!
I need to check out WebDAV to see whether it is better than FTPS.
Good morning Vpeter,
Saw you deleted few conversations on here!
I have the feeling that you were teasing me with the questions about how to setup an FTP server because frankly I see you are a top expert in FTPS communications! 
I have to thank you for this last message as it did the very job I was trying to do.
Very happ with the result.
Thank you for your precious support.
Have a great day.
Thanks for the above.
I will check all that tomorrow morning and see how it goes.
1st: read FTPS (FTP over SSL) vs. SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)
2nd: FTP (and derivatives) kinda suck for streaming. Ditch the Filezilla and stream using http(s) on a port of choice.
Thanks TheWojtek for your input.
On 1, I read few comparisons on the FTPS vs SFTP. In the beginning, I thought they're the same and I tried to setup a SFTP server. But then I couldn't connect Kodi to the server. There is no SFTP protocol tab proposed when adding a new network source.
On 2, is http(s) you're proposing the one matches the WebDAV protocol. If it is, I couldn't find out there how to install the server on a window 10 pc.
I attempted to install the WebDAV server on and Odroid xu4, but I am struggling with Ubuntu 18.04. I paused my attempt when I had difficulty to mount my 8tb external HDD NTFS partition. And when the problem was solved, I was surprised to see that Ubuntu doesn't see the media files/folders!
Do you know if there is out there a step by step setup of http(s) on Windows 10?
Thanks for your help.
Dear Chewitt,
I apologise for not making it clear that I am trying to access my media files over the internet.
I have a huge music library that I would like to share it with a member of the family whom I provided with a LibreElec box.
I think I am not the nonly one around who's looking for a solution to this situation.
In any case, I managed to install a Filezilla Server running FTP over TLS. I can access this server using a Filezilla client connect in passive mode to the shared media folders on my harddrive which is connected to the windows 10 PC running the server.
My problem is that I am not finding the right syntax filling the "Add network location" when adding the FTPS source in LE!
I tried both FTP and FTPS tabs with paths which look like when using FTPS tab:
ftps://user:password@http://myddns.ddns.net//Video/|Auth=SSL-TLS
ftps://user:password@http://myddns.ddns.net/Video/|Auth=SSL-TLS
ftps://user:password@http://myddns.ddns.net//Video/?pasv|Auth=SSL-TLS
ftps://user:password@http://myddns.ddns.net//Video/?passive|Auth=SSL-TLS
ftps://user:password@http://myddns.ddns.net//Video/|Auth=SSL-TLS
These returned this message on the server:
Connected on port 990, sending welcome message
disconnected.
I tried similar paths using the FTP which resulted with this error from the server:
Connected on port 21, sending welcome message
USER User
530 This server does not allow plain FTP. You have to use FTP over TLS
disconnected.
I would appreciate your patience and help.
Happy New Year.
Hi Good People,
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
I am trying since few weeks to find a way to stream my media files which are sitting in an external hard drive to a LE/CE box.
I read somewhere that the best way is to setup an openvpn tunnel between the two machines. I spent a couple of weeks trying but couldn't get to the end of the solutions.
There is very little clear tutorials on how to set OpenVPN out there for unexperienced people like me.
DLNA solution seem to be limited to machines sitting on the same LAN.
Though having trien JRiver Media Centre, it was successful for me to access my media with Gizmo on my Android phone. But trying to connect LE/CE to JRiver failed.
I am now trying the last solution of FTP over TLS server before I give up. I installed Filezilla FTP server and it works fine using Filezilla client.
But, I am getting very frustrated as I am unable to add the Filezilla FTP over TLS server on my LE/CE sources.
Can anybody confirm whether the FTPS protocol is actually the FTP over TLS or is it another FTP something different protocol?
Is there a way to connect to my Filezilla FTP over TLS server from LE/CE or am I wasting my time?
Finally is there any solution out there which designed to allow LE/CE to stream media from a source over the internet and if yes, it there and step by step tutorial available?
Thanks huys for your help. Wishing you all a Joyful 2019.

Hi CvH,
I will try to install OMV/Docker/Emby on a spare XU4 that I have and see whether the problem is still there before I share some logs.
And to be honest, I don't know if I should start any process to catch it in a log!
Will keep you posted.
Have a nice evning.
Greetings to all Libreelec forumers,
I apologise in advance if it is not the place to post this subject. I would appreciate some directions from you guys.
I've been using LE as a music player for playing my music files located on an Openmediavault (Rock64) server using Samba.
I lately decided to use MiniDLNA to see if I can access my library from outside my home through the internet.
I deleted the sources pointing to the Samba shares and added the sources of the MiniDLNA server shares.
I disabled Samba on OMV and cleaned my LE music library, then scanned my new sources.
The problem is that scanning the music files from MiniDLNA is not finding/adding any embedded artwork to LE my music library!
Selecting Files from Music menu, I can see and play my music files, but no artwork is displayed!
Am I missing something or is this a known issue with LE/MiniDLNA?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Naass
