    Librelec is on an SD card, and my films are on an NVMe drive.

    When I’m watching a film, it sometimes freezes (the picture freezes and the sound stops). After a few seconds, it returns to the films menu on its own. But I can’t play any films then, because Kodi tells me that every film cannot be found.

    When I connect to my Raspberry Pi 5 via Samba, I’ve noticed that I can no longer access the NVMe drive when this happens.

    I’ve concluded that Librelec loses access to the NVMe drive. The only way I’ve found to restore the connection is to restart Librelec.

    Do you know what might be causing this loss of connection and how to prevent it from happening again?


    Librelec 12.0.2 (Kernel 6.6.70)

    Kodi 21.2

    Raspberry 5


    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm on Librelec 12.0.2 (kodi 21.2.0), and Sometimes Librelec loses the Wi-Fi password at startup. This does not happen every time, but about 50% of the time.
    I have to re-enter the password manually, or reboot Librelec. But sometimes I need 3 or 4 reboot before Librelec starts correctly without "loosing" the Wi-Fi password.
    Does anyone knows the reason why ?

    Thank you for your help !

    Thank you for your feedback !


    It seems I'd better keep my installation as it is (LE on SD, storage on SSD). Just in case I have to reinstall the OS (and disk partitioning has sometimes caused me funny problems...)


    NB : Yes, I regard LE as "something to share files". I just need a server on wich are all my videos, so that other PC in the house can watch them from any room, in the same time. I loose all datas, there is no problem since I have a backup on another disk.

    Hi everyone,

    I have recently bought my first Raspberry (Pi5), because I need a home-made kind-of-NAS. So LibreElec seem to be the best choice.

    I just know a few things aout Raspberry and LibreElec. I installed LibrElec on the SD card, and it works perfectly well.
    What if I install LibreElec on the SSD Nvme ? Is it worth it? Will LibreElec gain in speed significantly? (currently all my media files are stored on this Nvme SSD).

    Or do you think it's useless, and that I'd better keep LibreElec on the SD card ?

    Thank you for your advices !
