Hi !

I've used this great solution for nearly 10 years, worked great even if I had to sometimes update the file because IP changed when rebooting my whole system.

Today I've updated my system to Kodi 10, still worked, then Kodi 11 and stopped working... updating to Kodi 12 still doesn't work...

On the boot screen when the mount script loads it now says FAILED...

Any clue what's causing this ?>

Thanks

It worked.................

Sorry for wasting your time with such lame error !

I must say that I've search for a long time before hitting the post I refered to that finaly made it worked, thanks again for this workaround.

The file is named= storage-data.mount

Its content =

[Unit]
Description=TimeCapsule Mount Script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service


[Mount]
What=//192.168.1.10/data
Where=/storage/data
Options=username=plez,password=crash,sec=ntlm,vers=1.0
Type=cifs

Then in SSH I run= systemctl enable /storage/.config/system.d/storage-data.mount

And I get=

The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, Also=,
Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for template
units). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.


Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
• A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
  .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
• A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
  a requirement dependency on it.
• A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
  D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
• In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
  instance name specified.
~/.config/system.d # 

And then nothing more happens....

Hello Everybody !

I'm using LE on Pi for a long time now since I started with Pi 1 !

All my contents and especially movies are on an Apple Timecapsule via SMB (Most likely v1).

On old LE versions, only adding a source using the full path smb://user:pass@timecapsuleIP/movies was doing the trick !

Using a Pi 3b+ this was no longer working, timeout error, but "chewitt" had given a great solution consisting of creating mounts directly on unix by creating a mount file, enabling it and rebooting...

SMB with Libreelec 8.2 and TimeCapsule not working

This solution was brilliant and very efficient, I never had a single problem since I enabled it more than 1 year ago !

I'm now using a Pi 4 and as I was building my new setup, I was confident in having the same result with the same trick but no luck... I now have an unix error message about the "systemctl" command saying it's not done properly....

Anybody has an idea how to get around this because I'm now stuck not being able to access my share from kodi !

Thanks !
