Edit, April 10: File deleted.

Here is an update for anyone needing the latest emu version

First, install service from Livs post above.

As explained do not update ( you can disconnect the internet when installing, and re connect after you uncheck the "auto update" button in Kodi ( My addons > services ) to prevent future updates

The, replace the oscam file found in folder .kodi\addons\service.softcam.oscam\bin with the one attached in my post

Emu version 791

In my case, it works fine with Milhouse latest nightly :

Many thanks L... i appreciate your help ...

I will definitely try!

6 more people already downloaded before me (!!!), so it looks like more people need it,

i m hoping whenever someone has a newer version to post it here and keep this topic alive with updates

No reply at all means

1. i should either change OS or

2. if i insist in using Libre i should buy some of those "all-in-one" Chinesee boxes,

am i correct? Maybe i m missing something

Any chance someone can share the latest oscam-emu for libreelec 9.0 ( generic X86 -64 )

I can only find some builds for ARM based processors ( libreelec for s905/912 boxes etc)

Thanks...

If its just for Libreelec, do NOT buy a J5005 board

The problem is NOT fixed, and it does not look like its gonna be fixed soon...

I have been trying all sort of solutions mentioned here and in other forum topics, nothing works.

Me, personally, i dont mind, BUT for most people this can be very annoying... And suggests a serious underlying issue...

Avoid J5005...

I am having the same problem, been trying all sorts of suggested tricks but nothing fixed it.

What i notice is that we all have an Intel J5005 processor, i guess it can be related to the specific processor meaning only an update for motherboard bios COULD fix this problem. Maybe we should ask at motherboard manufacturer support... But i m not expecting miracles

Just a warm thank you guys for all this work

I will do that

thanks

Edit: looks like chmod is not working, ...so, remove + fix using windows should be the way...

LibreELEC:~ # chown root /var/media/TERA
chown: /var/media/TERA: Read-only file system
LibreELEC:~ # chmod 777 /var/media/TERA
chmod: /var/media/TERA: Read-only file system
LibreELEC:~ # chmod 0777 /var/media/TERA
chmod: /var/media/TERA: Read-only file system
LibreELEC:~ #

thanks for reply

I think the disk is NTFS, really not sure ( I was using it in windows 7 long tims ago, before i switch to libreelec)

Looks like i managed to corrupt an entire hard disk permissions. My fault.

The disk happens to be the one with all my videos collection............

Now, libreelec can read BUT not write

It looks like the problem is with entire DISK, not some directories or just some files.

I was trying via network (windows) to change permission, windows see libreelec ownership and have no authority to change permissions :

So, i guess only chance is to make things right via SSH.

I dont know much about SSH, only the basics.. so, any help is most welcomed

thanks ....

Feedback:

Its been some days now running 8.2.5-6.42.2-4.16.15 on my Asrock J5005 (Gemini Lake) and i must tell you i m IMPRESSED.

100% stable, never EVER crashed or frozen, although system is heavily loaded (thousands of movies, films, TV recodrings)

Response is ultra fast, everything plays fine without any CPU stress, GUI is fluid, its all amazing.

No words to thank you enough all you guys, kudos @sky42 your work is AWESOME.

Many thanks for reply!

Downloading 8.2.5-6.42.2-4.16.15,

PS - i m planning to update my current (braswell) system with it, then switch motherboard, see how it goes.

If there will be problems, i will try a clean install

I just bought a newer generation motherboard (Gemini Lake ASROCK J5005),knowing that there will be issues with Libreelec, so, i m not expecting miracles, yet i dont want to install windows, although i do have a spare students license. I insist in using Libreelec.

Having read all posts in this thread (and a couple more related threads) i m still a bit confused... Question is, if i would like a somewhat "stable" version installed (less bugs to fight with), which one should i download?

I could wait a couple of weeks if things are expected to improve somehow ( some important bug fix maybe? )

REALLY appreciate it, many thanks for your work

Found an easier solution (easy for me that i dont know much about SSH)

I just deleted the (old incompatible) config file via the Kodi File Manager, rebooted and network share now works fine.

Just mentioning in case it will help others.

@chewitt for me, perfect, i insist. Its more than what i would expect from a software offered for free. Even this support here, in this topic, the fact that you pinpointed my problem, is way more that i would expect. All good.

Quote from milhouse

...In the next 8.1.x release we will now be disabling incompatible custom samba configurations so that worse case, you have working Samba but none of your custom shares or other changes (until you re-apply them).

Alright then, i will be waiting for the next release, to disable incompatible file, and regain network access.

That should be a PERFECT solution.

Thank you for your help.

Yes, i am using a custom samba.conf

Same for long long time... It is the default file actually, i have only added one share at the bottom of the file, for the entire "storage"

This is it samba_conf.zip

If this is causing the problem, could it be temp fixed somehow? I need network access for at least my TVheadend recordings folder, so that i can transfer all my recent TV recordings to our storage PC. If those are saved, i could format + reinstall libreelec from scratch

Many thanks

EDIT: Just to clarify, the posted samba.conf, comes from a recent backup, it's what it was BEFORE update.

I have no idea what it is right now, inside the live installation. No idea if update process or tests changed it somehow

Thank you all guys for answering, no i NEVER had any passwords.

I used to just open a windows explorer window, click "Network", and there it was, in the list, among all other computers in the home network.

NOW, i dont see media player there anymore, AND typing \\libreelec wont help either.

I can only access if i type IP \\192.168.1.16, and in that case it asks for a password, as explained above. Fist time i have seen/heard about passwords and password settings is now, with this recent update.
