    Share the drives to the network using Windows, then configure sources for them in Kodi. You will need to use authentication as on the Windows side you either share to a specific user (that you must authenticate as) or if "guest" shares are still a thing it means "any username/password can access" but you still need to access and authenticate using a username/password. I personally find it easiest to do this from the SSH console (editing /storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xml and passwords.xml). Go read the Kodi wiki, it has all the "how to use Kodi" help you need.

    This is exactly how I have my Windows 10 media server to RPi5 LibreELEC setup and it works perfectly!

    Set the GUI resolution in display settings to 1920x1080 and configure the whitelist - see https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/4k-hdr

    so long,

    Hias

    That was it!

    I changed the display resolution from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080 @ 60Hz and now HDMI1 input from the RPi5 is seen on power up of the AVR & Projector. I also whitelisted the recommended resolutions but the step above is what solved my particular problem.

    Thank you all for your help working this through to the end.

    I did not reboot between ops, so repeated the steps, still with no luck:

    LibreELEC:~ # getedid delete
    successfully removed edid override
    LibreELEC:~ # reboot

    LibreELEC:~ # getedid create
    successfully installed edid override for HDMI-A-1
    LibreELEC:~ # reboot

    When the AVR & Projector is powered on, the initial state is still Source: HDMI1 No Signal

    No error messages, commands seem to work as execute, but this doesn't fix the issue:

    LibreELEC (official): 11.95.2 (RPi5.aarch64)
    LibreELEC:~ # getedid delete
    successfully removed edid override
    LibreELEC:~ # getedid create
    successfully installed edid override for HDMI-A-1

    I am seeing the same issue as OP. I have to power off the Pi5 then power it back on for it to be seen as an HDMI input by my AVR/Projector.

    I have also tried edid create but this didn't resolve this, it seems to be some sort of edid problem.

    The Kodi log file is showing this error:

    Does this mean anything helpful?

    I have a problem with my RPi 4 running LibreELEC 11.0.3 taking literally forever to scan and update new movies.

    The KODI.log file shows tons of these errors:

    2023-11-01 16:57:56.076 T:948 error <general>: Unable to lookup host: 'myserver-pc'

    I read that the proper way to edit the hosts file to add an ip address for myserver-pc is through the storage folder. Is this correct because I don't seem to have a storage folder (attached screenshot)?
