Hi

This is on a Raspberry Pi 4 B 8M RAM not that that should influence anything and its set to auto update, so what ever the latest is / was.

The problem it keeps finding an invalid share I thought I'd gotten rid of them when I rebuild it as there doesn't seem to be an easy way other the sources.xml from a terminal. Whats strange is the error on the LibreELECT screen says smb://192.168.1.113/<shared-folder> but when I checked the LibreELEC:~/.kodi/userdata/sources.xml nothing in there points to that as a server, infact that IP address is LibreELECT.local device.

Is there a way to debug the invalid argument or is it just there for the fun of it?

Col

I did a rebuild of the SD card and I now have the Raspberry pi connected Keyboard and Mouse to my Monitor, making a whole lot more sense, this way.

Thanks for getting back soo quickly much appreciated, I have noticed something, and not 100% sure of the correct syntax so don't want to muck it up.

in the .kodi/userdata/

the file

favourites.xml

Still shows one of the missing servers in the multipath string, I'm thought they might be ASCII characters but now I'm not sure are replaceing : or @ but when i look up those the ASCII isn't the same i

<favourite name="myStuff">ActivateWindow(10025,&WCF_AMPERSAND"multipath://smb%3a%2f%2f<servername>.local%2f<folder>/smb%3a%2f%2f<servername2>.local%2f<folder2>/&WCF_AMPERSAND",return) </favourite>

So not sure what the

%3a

or

%2f

Are in the real world or the escape character is

Also not sure what other xml files would need to be modified? If you have suggestions.

Oh how embarrassing I think I did a fou pa by dropping the l in xml

nano /storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xm

nano /storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xml

Hi my Pi 4 has been running fine with LibreELEC doing it's stuff without too much attention from me. My problem is some of my Network shares have changed, server names either obsolete or replaced. When LibreELEC tries to refresh it shows error message on the Screen, for the life of me, I can not find out a < your shares are listed here folder > so I thought there has to be some way to access it via SSH.

I looked at;

RE: SMB sharing not working at all

I gave up on "browsing" aeons ago. It just takes a little effort to configure shares; personally I edit /storage/.kodi/usersdata/sources.xml as the format it simple and typing smb://user:pass@SERVER/SHARE is easier on a keyboad via SSH than using a remote in the GUI. SMB2/3 file sharing works fine in Kodi so there's really no need to downgrade things to SMB1.

I can login is root but I can not see an xml file /storage/.kodi/usersdata/sources.xml nor can I see that folder structure.

cd /storage

-----------------------------------------------

LibreELEC:~ # cd storage

-sh: cd: can't cd to storage: No such file or directory

-----------------------------------------------

It would make my life a lot easier simply to open a config file and edit it via ssh in this instance.

Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong or where to look for the answers?

After blundering around a bit I beleive I've found an accurate location

Cannot connect to my Music & Video folders on my NAS - General Support - LibreELEC Forum

I'll check it out shortly. but seems to look like it.

Later time permitting

this was all working fine with my iPhone 6 and Kodi remote app, on LibreELECT now since the update to 10.0.0 (RPi4.arm) I am no longer able to rind it on my network, I have also upgraded my iPhone to a 12 mini not sure if that would cause and issue or not ?

OMG I'm an idiott, I hadn't turned on the remote control after the update, all good and working.

Hi if your TV only has a VGA that's the Blue one

you will only be able to use VGA resolutions.

HDMI port is what your would need for 1080 HD or higher.

I had set up using my 4K panel after realizing the codec for playback is restrictive on the Raspberry Pi 4 B I lost interest, connecting instead to my 1080 panel immediately I got hit with under scan problems, and sure enough once I dug around in the SETUP menu for my panel I found how to turn that off. All works fine now.

Sounds like it's not going to work for me then

4K local of microSD just run slow now.

I just borrowed for testing LG Jazz HDR UHD.webm and copied it to the .storage/video folder of the MicroSD card.

\\libreelec\Videos

It plays much better but is in slow motion.

Ran up and installed last nights build

LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-10.0-nightly-20210721-4f77520

The version number looks the same to me however the date has changed I guess that means no changes?

Anyway booted up immediately into 3840x2180p_60Hz and stayed at that resolution right up to the Kodi screens.

Playback of 4K network 1GB movie is still frozen or I should say jittering appears to be vertically over a 2 cm area on a 190 cm screen with a snail trailing mouse. Also local USB drive playback of 4K does exactly the same.

oops log files sorry

OK kind of a bit of one step forward and stop...

I went into LebreELEC add on and upgrade and set the EEProm to update to more recent as per screenshot actually not sure if it was after in which case it probably doesn't show the earlier date but it was like last year sometime. I thought I'd already done this previously but....

Anyway once reboot occured the panel started displaying 4K settings as per screen shot below. But when I try and play a 4K movie it just well hard to explain not shore if it's locked but the mouse like trails when moved around the screen.

I ran up the LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-10.0-nightly-20210720-4f77520.img.gz today.

Everything appears the same except this time during the Kodi 19.1 start up a banner on the right top popped out with I think CEC something but it did show the Model Number of my Onkyo Receiver, interestingly that is on HDMI ARC so downstream of the monitor connection to the Pi4 display resolution is still 1920x1080_50Hz

The iPhone Kodi remote still doesn't connect so using USB mouse and keyboard.

Sorry it's plain as day once you read it isn't it anyway. I've just tried

LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-10.0-nightly-20210718-2e9262e.img.gz

With the same result, so panel is showing 1920 x 1080

No change in the display settings.

Also side note the iPhone Kodi remote still will not connect when using this version am still using a USB mouse and keyboard.

I have also tried connecting to one of the other HDMI inputs on the panel, this one currently has a HDMI Upscaler between it and my receiver, the receiver only processes 1080 p the upscaler shows on the panel as 3840 x 2160p_50Hz if I use just the HDMI cable to the panel I still only get 1920 x 1080_50Hz

The smart side of the panel runs Netflix 4K with out issues as does Youtube. There is also and inbuilt media player which allows DLNA access so I can stream 4K from my NAS devices without is. It is very clunky which is why I'm trying to get a more functional solution. I say this as I'm certain the panel is certainly running 4K happily.

Hi and thanks for getting back so fast

So I don't muck anything up am I correct in thinking the syntax of the file would be;

LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-10.0-nightly-<date__version>.img.gz

4K runs slow motion and only 1920 x 1080

From as requested by Christian Hewitt, and I hope I'm doing this correctly please be gentle if not.

I have just downloaded the version Kodi 19.1 (Linux Kernel 5.10.x)

LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-9.95.5.img.gz

Run the image to my MicroSD card and checked the config.txt file there was not mention of hdmi_enable_4kp60=1 I have added that in, and booted the Rapsberry Pi 4 B which is the 8GB RAM also a mention on the released version LibreELECT 9.2 I was able to use the iPhone Kodi Remote app. With this version I have not been able to connect with that so I am using a Wired USB Keyboard and Mouse.

On boot up it showed on the Bauhn 75" 4K panel that it was displaying at 1920 x 1080 and at 60 Hz no changes there like the previous run.

I must apologies for the screen shots, I thought I would be able to SSH to the Kodi and get the log files but that's not working either.
