Hope I understand what you need.dmesg.txt

I think I did this right and here's the output from Linux. Sorry for being such a pain.lshw.txt

I updated the drivers to the latest available but so far still no luck. I'll try a fresh install later and see if there is difference. As always thanks for the help.

Here goes:

kodi.log

kodi.log

i think the first log was the wrong file this should be correct log. Sorry.

I gave it a try and got "Failed to paste log" I also tried this usb drive in an Intel laptop and got the same "Failed to paste log. Try again"

Same issue using the 08-16 build. No connections listed.

Thanks He. I'll give it try tonight.

I made a clean X86 system on a 32gb Sandisk usb stick. Hardware is a Lenovo ideapad 130 AMD A9 system with LE11.03 system and boots without issues. When I select connections it is totally blank. Wifi adapter does not seem to be detected. I'm stuck on this one.

Sounds about right for NTFS. My plan is to ditch NTFS altogether for my mass storage and replace with ext4. I've had several strange file issues with Linux based software trying to decipher Bill Gates spaghetti file systems. From what I gather native filesystem's will play together much better. We'll see.

I have a dual boot system on my PC with Linux Mint and Windows. I know just enough about Linux to be dangerous but never had any Linux file system issues in 10 years so I'll ditch the NTFS and redo with ext4. Seems the path of least resistance might work for me. NTFS seems like replacing a broken Ford part with cheap one from China and expecting equal performance.

I don't think speed will be an issue just compatability with my LE system. 8 tb of our DVDs, music, photos etc. I usually copy Files to the working system SSD for viewing so unless ext4 is slower than cold molassas it should work fine. The only reason to even deal with Windows was file repair so sounds like a worthwhile project and test for future updates. Soon as the wife gets her stuff all packed and we move into our new home I'll give ext4 a whirl. Thanks to all that responded!

I've come to the conclusion changing my external storage format to a Linux flavor may save some irritating file repairs. Which might work best with LE? The storage drives are 4TB conventional SATA hard drives Deskstar I think. Suggestions appreciated.

I've not been able to find a rock solid solution as of yet. As I understand it the issue showed up with change of drivers in the core Kodi software last update. I had another drive fail to mount well after the last update. Chkdsk did find an error and I lost an entire folder. I ran the chkdsk program and rebuilt the lost folder but clueless as to cause. Sometimes sh** just happens. I have faith the devs will solve this. A donation to the cause is the best fix you and I can offer.

No need for a new thread. I found to set default using a mouse one needs to drag the radio slider down (right hand side) to enable the default audio setting to be enabled. I was clicking on the selection and nothing happened. Hey I'm old.

Quote from smp

Does this happen only with 24p videos? Kodi has this "feature" - the audio of any 23.97/24p source is a bit delayed by default. To work around it this has to be added to advancedsettings.xml:

Code

 <advancedsettings>
  <video>
    <latency>
      <delay>0</delay>
      <refresh>
        <min>23</min>
        <max>24</max>
        <delay>0</delay>
      </refresh>
    </latency>
</advancedsettings>

I'm not sure about the source just a 720p mkv file where i first noticed the audio lag. How do I find if the video is 24p source? Thanks for the fix BTW.

Thanks Da. Will play around with settings as suggested and figure it out. I did manage to Set as default the audio offset so issue solved. Just curious why it was necessary to change? Some settings not preserved during update maybe?

This is more of an observation and not a real issue for me but I've noticed my audio seems to need to push ahead roughly .25 ms to match stored videos. Also for some reason the Set as default for all selection doesn't seem to work any more. Maybe I missed something and I'm just curious.

That would certainly explain some of the issues I've encountered. USB 3 and dual drives in my setup and the "collision error" windows once reported. Not sure this scan report is of any value but I'm providing it on the off chance it might shed some light on the ongoing issues.

scan report.txt

All has been working flawless since last update then yesterday both my ext drives didn't mount when powered on. I did a quick scan in Win and both drives reported errors and advised to used chkdsk to repair. I saved the report file and will upload the file tomorrow. Meantime here is the log. Nothing out of the ordinary at the time the errors occurred. Got me stumped.
