More info ... I have done a LOT of googling and found people with similar issues but not seemingly the same cause.

I switched my router back into modem mode, connected the phone line to the ADSL port and kodi started working through the ethernet connection.

Changed nothing other than putting the router back into wifi router mode with a PPPOE connection through my bridged modem and it stopped working again.

Some things I noticed.

Through Ethernet connection when "broken" using bridged modem

from the kodi box, I can ping my router, my PC and the NAS but I cannot ping google.com

Through Wifi connection when connected through bridged modem

from the kodi box, I can ping my router, my PC and the NAS and also ping google.com

Through Ethernet connection when "working" using integrated modem/router

from the kodi box, I can ping my router, my PC and the NAS and also ping google.com

I was using address reservation in my router so that I'd have known IPs for my three Kodi devices, I have removed these (based on a suggestion from elsewhere) and it did not help.

I have noticed that when in the bridged configuration that on the Network status page although it is showing the IP address etc the MAC address is showing as "Busy"

Sorry yes meant to mention that it is indeed set to 100mbit. This must have changed in the image as I used to do it manually but it appears to be set to that automatically now.

As per the title, I have 3 CuboxTVs, all running 8.0.2

2 are connected via Wifi dongles, the main box is connected via an Ethernet cable directly to my router.

We are soon to be upgraded from ADSL1 to VDSL+ and in anticipation of this and not wanting to have to buy a new expensive VDSL+ router to replace my existing expensive ADSL router I purchased a cheap VDSL+ router which I have enabled in Bridged Mode and connected through my Archer D7 router that I have put into "Wireless Router" mode, disabling its internal modem.

Everything was going swimmingly, except that the cuboxTV that connects directly to the router via an ethernet cable no longer works. When starting up I just get spinning circles on the movies/TV pages.

I have my content and a mysql database on my FreeNAS NAS.

NAS IP is 192.168.1.8

mysql IP is 192.168.1.9

I have tried:

* Swapping ethernet cables

* Swapping CuboxTV boxes

* Swapping the Ethernet cable out from the router to a switch that I have connected to the router

* Plugging one of the Wifi dongles into the "not working" CuboxTV - this made things work!

When the CuboxTV is connected via Ethernet:

* I can see it has an IP address on the libreelec configuration page

* I can ssh into the box

* Within the SSH session, I can ping the NAS and mySQL IP addresses

* I can see the folders on the CuboxTV through windows explorer, but if I try to navigate to any of the folders it times out

I have seen a few much older reports of similar issues on different hardware.

I've attached the log in the hope that there might be something in there that will help to solve this.

I was just about to run new cable through the roof to get a solid ethernet connection to the other two boxes as my wifi coverage isn't the greatest, but this sort of kills that idea unless I can find a fix!

I had so much success with openelec on cuboxtv that I own 3 of them!

However, after switching to libreelec to get the later versions of kodi I am seeing more and more buffering issues.

I am seeing this both on the device that is connected via ethernet and the two that are connected via wifi, but more often on the ethernet connected device.

I have autostart set to limit the ethernet port speed to 100Mb. (I have tried setting it back to 1Gb to no avail).

My files all live on a freenas server and are shared out using NFS. I am using a mysql database to share my library

Can someone who is familiar with these devices and libreelec give me any ideas on how I might fix this and if there are any logs etc I can provide that will help to troubleshoot?

Cheers,

Andrew.

Quote from vpeter

You can try image with 3.14 kernel because there is different implementation.

And what happen if you scan for devices on TV? Does it detect cuboxi/kodi?

Thanks I will give that a go now.

There's no scan option, but Kodi does show up in the list of connected devices.

I also just tried to HDMI cable from the main (working) lounge room setup and that didn't help so hopefully there will be more luck with the provided image. Will report back shortly.

I've been using Openelec and libreElec with my two tvs with CEC for years.

Edited to say I have libreElec running on a Cubox-tv

However I tried to get it setup on an older Sony LED today and have encountered a problem where:

1. I get the pulse eight connected to tv message displayed on boot
2. Kodi shows up in the HDMI devices list on the tv
3. Although the light is flashing on the front of the tv each time I push a button on the remote, no commands seem to be being passed through to kodi/libreElec.

Note that after reading the other thread about CEC issues in 09 I also tried rolling back to 08 and have the same symptoms.

Can anyone suggest what I can try to get this working?

Cheers,

Andrew.
