Hi,

I have a libreelec instance running on a Pi 3. Connected to the Pi 3 via a USB SATA is a large hard drive. I would like to use it to dump various other files from my Pis. On one Pi I have mounted a share to the remote libreelec hard drive like this

sudo mount -t cifs -o auto,rw,perm,username=root,password=libreelec //libreelec.local/Kodi_Media/Motion Motion

The Pi that I want to connect to the Libreelec mounted drive has the username pi

The permissions on the local Pis mounted folder are like this

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 11 2019 Motion

I cant change the write permissions on it using

sudo chmod 777

Is there a way to get write permissions, or even a better way to get write access to the hard drive on the libreelec Pi ?

Hi,

I can Connect via SMB, the hardisks connected to my Kodi box, and see the files. But I want to use the kodi box as a media server source in Windows and on my Roku TV, so I dont have to navigate through files and folder etc. Has anyone got this working ? Where in VLC/Media Monkey on Windwos they can see their Kodi box show up as a Media Server ? If so can you show me the settings, I have all the DLNA settings enabled.

Thanks

Marcus
