Ok thanks.

I cannot succeed in getting WPA EAP working at all in Libreelec.

I have scanned the forums and tried to implement a custom version of wpasupplicant to get it working but then I just lost the network totally and cannot access the unit anyway.

I tested the connection with Ubuntus gnome network manager and successfully connected to the wifi. Maybe someone can help me convert the generated nmconnection file to work with connman.

There is one thing I noticed using the gnome gui and that was it wouldn't allow me to progress entering a private key and private key password until I filled in the client-certificate field, which is not supposed to be needed. In this case, i just used the private-key pem file and it worked. Maybe this is isn't needed though and just a gui quirk.

I am trying to get connected to my company network but no success using TLS and WPA2 Enterprise

I have the following settings file in .cache/connman/wifi_xx/settings

[wifi_dca63207fe2d_53434e_managed_ieee8021x]
Type=wifi
Name=wifi_name
Security=ieee8021x
PrivateKeyFile=/storage/cert/mykey.pem
PrivateKeyPassphrase=xxxx
EAP=tls

I get only "invalid parameters" and cannot connect. I have tried tinkering with the file and various options but no success.

I have tried making a .config file in .cache/connman as suggested in another tutorial but it doesn't help.

Alternatively, I can connect with the same security settings to the ethernet but cannot get this to work either. We have two networks running through the same port. A public gateway that requires registration with login via a website and the company portal that connects with a certificate. My networking skills are not good enough to force a connection to the company portal, it always gets an IP from the public gateway. I need to use DHCP to connect.

I have updated to LE 10 and still using the Unity skin but now when I loop the video i briefly see "Working..." text in the bottom right corner of the screen when the video reloads.

Is there anyway to make looping videos totally silent without any kind of popup or notification? Even if it means editing the skin.

I have trying to implement a command-line based playlist where I can loop a presentation video in Kodi for our displays at the office.

I have sent the following commands and can successfully trigger a video for playback in Kodi that loops

kodi-send --action="PlayMedia(/storage/AxZflvmD.mp4)"
kodi-send --action="PlayerControl(repeat)"

My problem is that each iteration makes the interactive overlay briefly popup when the video is restarted. I want it to be totally silent/seamless experience.

Is there some option to hide this or another way I can make an infinite looping video or playlist work the way I would like?

--UPDATE--

This appears to be skin dependent and doesn't happen if I use the Unity skin. The default skin replicates the auto popup behaviour as does the Ace 2 skin i tested.

Quote from chewitt

This is correct because the tether creates a NAT routed (not bridged) connection between the interfaces, so two different subnets will be used. There is no need to set iptables rules or enable forwarding as these are either handled within connman or already enabled in default config.

It would be useful to see "route | paste" before/after the tether is enabled, and "journalctl | paste" after a clean boot, enabling the tether, and connecting a client device. Just share the URLs generated.

Let me get back to you with some tests.

I quickly tried connecting and did a route|paste and I get this error message

invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xf0 0x08

I can still connect but no internet. The firewall settings and ip_forward do not help.

The IP address seems to be on the wrong subnet. My router is set up on 192.168.0.1 and the IP of the Pi is 192.168.0.2.

When I connect to the AP i get an address of 192.168.1.2 and the gateway is 192.168.1.1. So this is wrong for a start.

I can dabble around in Linux with SSH. This is not a problem. And of course the AP is useful else I wouldn't bother setting it up. I have poor WIFI upstairs and want to connect my work laptop to this network .

I am using a Raspberry PI 4 with the latest Libreelec update and trying to get Access Point tethering to work.

I am using a wired cable on LAN and want to enable an access point to connect to the internet. I can create the AP but when I connect it says "No internet access". How do i fix this?
