  • LibreELEC on RPi4 not announcing hostname to network

    Actually, it is as simple as adding ".local" to the end of the hostname, e.g. "libreelec-lr.local". I discovered that I was having the same problem contacting any other machine on the network and sought help on the Linux Mint forum. It turns out using mDNS (tacking on the .local) solves the problem very simply.

  • LibreELEC on RPi4 not announcing hostname to network

    I've got LibreElec installed on a Raspbery Pi 4. It's working fine, but if I try to ping it from another machine or ssh to it by its hostname it comes back "name or service not known." Pinging via the IP works though. Is there something I need to turn on (or off) to get the host name to become visible to the network?


    Thanks

  • Can't get Kore to find my media center

    I'm running a Pi with LE 9.2.6 and Kodi 18.9. Since the most recent update I've been unable to get Kore on my Samsung S8+ to connect to the media center. I discovered that when I try to ping the Pi from the S8+ I get a connection timeout. Curiously, I can ping from my other Linux boxes and Windows boxes on the network, both wired and wifi connected. FWIW, the Pi is part of the wired network. The port setting is at 8080, I've got all the remote control setting on. I guess I'm puzzled as to why only the phone would not be able to ping the Pi.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
