Just wanted to drop in and give you guys a big thank you for getting this device working fully. (for my scenario, at least)

I'm using the LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0.0 build on a Zotac mini HTPC - ZBOX ID45 with Intel cpu/Nvidia gpu.

Previously I had a crappy old Afatech AF9013 based device - SD single DVB-T tuner.
Just replaced it with this device and its HD dual DVB-T2 tuners - rebooted HTPC, half a dozen clicks or so in TVHeadend web UI to enable the new tuners and remap channels and hey presto - everything is working fantastically.

Gotta love it when stuff like this Just Works™ first time - I was expecting *hours* of futzing around to get everything to behave, but the hours of work already put in by the LE code team made it all completely painless.

Sorry I haven't got any useful input to give you RPi guys - hope you get your solution sorted out soon

Hey,

i have a different problem, but it is samba related too.
I would like to mount a samba share permanently, but i couldn't make it happen automatically at system startup.

I made a config file in "/storage/.config/system.d/", with the following content:
file name: cifs-nas.mount

<...>

Than i set to it with the following command:
systemctl enable cifs-nas.mount

But unfortunately the pi doesn't mount it at startup. It works with the manula mount:
mount -t cifs -o username=xxx,password=xxx //192.168.1.5/video/TV_Recordings /storage/recordings/nas

Could you please help me out, what can be the problem?

Inside the "/storage/.config/system.d/" dir make a sub-directory called "multi-user.target.wants"

Copy "cifs-nas.mount" into "./multi-user.target.wants" (or make a symlink to the main one in "./system.d/")
i.e. So it matches the [Install] WantedBy= section

The mount should now happen automatically.

Note: I set my system up similarly on OpenELEC ages ago, and it still works fine after migration to LibreELEC. Unfortunately I did it so long ago I can't really remember *why* the [Install] section and sub-dir were required, just that it "Automagically Worked[tm]" doing it that way. Frankly the whole systemd shennanigans just makes my head hurt whenever I try and fiddle with stuff like this
