I'd previously just looked at the LibreELEC releases on GitHub and didn't see a release with a description that specified a Kodi merge (after the date on which your Kodi PR was merged). However, now comparing the 9.95.2 and 9.95.4 tags, I see there was a Kodi 19.1 merge on May 9th (PR #5360).
I also just reverted my sources.xml to use hostname (rather than IP address) and it now works!
Thank you so much for fixing this issue!
I see your fix is included in Kodi Matrix 19.1, any idea when LibreELEC will include that in a release?
This issue only exists on my Raspberry Pi (LibreELEC), what would be reason that my Fire Sticks don't exhibit the same problem?
Just curious. Thanks.
Is there another work around for this issue that would allow continuing to use hostname? Maybe a way I can hide my other adapter IPs from the Samba probe?
I just ask because using the IP address and path substitution works fine for library browsing (movies and TV shows) but doesn't support fetching library information when browsing sources (videos).
I ran the command on 192.168.0.180 as well as I was curious as to the difference in result:
LibreELEC:~ # nmblookup -A 192.168.56.1

MAC Address = 18-C0-4D-92-7A-7BMost likely you have a VM running on the Windows machine and its address is selected. Use nmblookup BEJHAN-PC on the RPI to verify.
If yes use smb://[email protected]/
See pvr.mediaportal - working in LE 9.26, not working in LE 10.0
As you suggested, the strange IP address belongs to a secondary adapter on BEJHAN-PC:
This particular IP belongs to a VPN tunnel but I have a VM running too, which would also be problematic:
LibreELEC:~ # nmblookup BEJHAN-PC
192.168.0.180 BEJHAN-PC<00>
192.168.56.1 BEJHAN-PC<00>
10.13.137.57 BEJHAN-PC<00>As you suggested, using the IP address instead of the hostname in sources.xml solved my issue:

<substitute>

<to>smb://192.168.0.180/</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>Thanks for you help!
After performing a fresh install of LibreELEC 10.0 Beta on my Rapberry Pi 4 (LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-9.95.1.img.gz), I can't seem to access my Samba share (Windows 10) any longer.
I've just installed Kodi Matrix on a few Amazon Fire Sticks as well and they can access the share so I think this problem has something to do with LibreELEC specifically.

The following lines correspond to me trying to play a library item that is located on the Samba share:

BEJHAN-PC has an IP address of 192.168.0.180 so I'm not sure where that is coming from.
I checked the SMB client settings on the Fire Sticks for any discrepancies but they are the same.
I also tried explicitly adding the IP address from BEJHAN-PC to /storage/.config/hosts.conf but it made no difference.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The issue does not seem to be present in 8.90.008. Thanks!
I've only had a few attempts at reproducing though so I cannot say with 100% confidence yet, though with 8.2.5 I could get the crash to happen pretty easily. I will report back after I've used it a bit more.
I just installed a fresh copy of LibreELEC 8.2.5 on a Rasperry Pi 3 B+ then installed the Plex add-on.
The add-on crashes quite frequently, at seemingly random times.
I am able to watch videos and browse around, then BAM all of a sudden a a key press causes a crash.
Attached are all of the crash reports.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
