I've been able to resolve this issue by upgrading my VMware player from 12 to 14. When I did that it came up as black screen. Doing some googling I realized I have a VPN active on my windows laptop. Once I deactivated the VPN and rebooted VMware the screen was not black. I started the LibreElec image and it picked up the internet connection and thus I was able to connect to the Kodi Repository inside the LibreElec virtual image.
Thanks to all for your help!
you have there "Host only" -> no internet
thanks seeing that. It was leftover from my previous attempt. But I had been trying to with the default Bridged option.
pls remember that you need to enlarge your hdd (at the vm setting) before the first boot or you have an very very tiny storage drive
yes I did this before first boot. Expanded to 16gb.
And set networking in libreelec settings.
Yes the LibreElec network settings have the wired network active.
Habe you assigned a bridged Network in VMware Network Manager?
I left the default which is Bridged Network. I tried all the other network options and no success.
I hoping someone can help me in this forum.
I recently tried importing the LibreElec OVA VMWare image and using it to test Kody Addon's before installing to my main media centre.
I'm using VMWare Workstation 12 for windows and have tried importing both LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2.3.ova and 8.2.4.ova. Both seem to have the same issue -- when I try to access Kodi Addon Repository it gives me the following error message "Could not connect to Repository". Does anybody know what the issue is? Am I doing something wrong?
