Quote from chewitt

If restart = cold start then autostart.sh will be run. If restart = wake from suspend it will not be run, because autostart is a boot script and waking a suspended system is not boot. Your current script forces the entire boot process to stall for 5 secs. It would be better to (background)& the mount task so that boot can continue normally. You can look at using systemd .power functions in /storage/.config/system.d/ to schedule actions around system suspend and wake events.

Hi chewitt, thanks a lot for explaining. Did not know that restart is not shutdown and start. Sometimes things are not as they look like...

I will try the system. d solution or just not use restart.

I tried this:

/storage/.config/autostart.sh:

#!/bin/sh

sleep 5;

mount /dev/sda2 /var/media/"Seagate Backup Plus"

but it does not work on restart, just on start.

After restart the mount command gives:

mount: mounting /dev/sda2 on /var/media/Seagate Backup Plus failed: No such file or directory

HD spinning and LEDS are on.

mount does not list /dev/sda2.

Plugging USB out and in will mount the HD.

My video files are on an external HD (NTFS filesystem). Starting libreelec will not automatically mount this HD, how can I achieve that, please?

Hi all,

I cannot play these Videos, there is no error message. Using Libreelec with Kodi 18.1 LEIA on Raspi 3B+

Tried to find some hints in the debug log. Thats not easy as I only know how to access the log with a log viewer addon... The logs reports unspecified errors opening the video file.

Maybe there is a codec missing?

Maybe this is a known issue and you can help me?

thanks, E.
