@ryangodammit If I have understood correctly, depending on your system resources you could use Libreelec on the Chrome box as a media server:

1. Use out of the box drive mapping when USB media is mounted (Automatically)

1. Enable Emby plugin & configure your media libraries

2. Enable docker & install Emby - you can also use other docker images if required

Option 1 will work but is limited to how you have arranged your media and you will need to add the media locations on the firestick

Option 2 (Recommended) as a simple out of the box solution if you haven't used docker before. You can then connect to Emby via a browser / app to view your libraries, note within Kodi (Firestick) you can use the EmbyCon plugin to browse the libraries

Option 3 Docker, will use some additional system resources but has the benefit that you update the Emby version more frequently, however you will have to configure drive mappings, network settings etc

All depends on your IT knowledge.

Hope that helps.

Hi thanks for the suggestion, implemented code but it didnt fix the issue, however when I disable / enable the ethernet I get two devices :-S

Wifi no difference still works but need to manually connect

Happy to try anything else or provide more logs

Cold boot - Journalctl - http://ix.io/21vs after first restart and manual connect on wifi

Warm reboot (Restart) - http://ix.io/21vt disabled wired, hit connect, Kodi crashed, disconnect ethernet & reconnect again APIPA address 169.254.234.1

Cold boot worked first time with ethernet automatically - http://ix.io/21w3

Appreciate your help with this one!

Hey Chewitt,

Did a fresh install earlier in the week still seems to be the same with wifi, having to manually click connect to join access point after reboot.

Ethernet is now detected in 9.1.502 but intermittent, requires to be set to disabled when next booting and then enabled in order to get a DHCP address to avoid APIPA address. Its almost like Librelec boots so fast that the ethernet is not detected correctly

Amazing work so far as this never used to work at all on the Pipo x7s, have tried this custom build from piotrasd in the past which didn't have the connection issues but was based on Libreelec 8.

Any takers?

Any further information that would help diagnose the issue?

Two methods to copy files:

Method 1

1. Windows Explorer browse server name and copy to folders (Samba shares), note this will be slow

Method 2

1. Plug USB HDD into Machine running Libreelec, click cog, go into file manager.
2. Browse your destination folder on right side of screen - videos, music etc
3. On left side browse Source folder / file & hold down enter
4. Select Copy or Move and progress will be displayed in top right

Does adding "Wait for network" to approx 30 sec make any difference?

I wished, tried that but it just times out

Fresh install (LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.0.2.img.gz) with no changes made other than hostname.

Wifi detection works & connects to AP through setup wizard, however when you reboot it does not connect & you have to manually try and connect at least twice before it will work. Also enabled the option to wait for network but this times out.

Updated to Beta 1 & 2 and same issue.

Thanks in advance for assistance.
