As per forum rules, please get rid of all the superrepo, f4mproxy and f4mtester piracy crap and related modules first, before asking for support.

Plenty of such 3rd party add-ons are known to make Kodi's core functionality unstable

Plenty of web servers still run PHP5, because the impact of changing to PHP7 would be too enormous.Poorly written webpages would crash.

As per LibreELEC forum rules, please remove all video piracy repositories and their related add-ons from your Kodi device before asking for support.

Oops.. I was too slow

Occasionally ... This doesn't happen that often...

How is your RPi connected to your network, cable or wifi? Is either of them in a good working order to begin with?

Win10 had a couple of changes during the last year concerning Samba, but it either works or it doesn't.

I'm not sure about the RPi 3, but the 3B+ can boot from USB and a subsequent external HDD/SSD. I'm doing a LibreELEC+SSD setup running a MariaDB server add-on, and so far, all looks okay.

I now have Libreelec 9.00.3

That is simply not an official version. Where do you download this build?

LibreELEC with Kodi 18 is not out officially, so I have no idea which exact build you are now using.

You can start by providing us a kodi.log file, so we can see what we are dealing with. Because "it doesn't work" is not really a bug report.

It seems like you missed a couple of things when censoring your log file. Stuff from banned 3rd party add-ons can mess up Kodi's core functionality pretty badly. Why not make a fresh start without the crap repos and see if things work normally?

As per our forum rules, support will not be given to users with compromised setups.

LE v9.0 final should be around by the end of this week, but it's probably not going to change much for you.

Please read our forum rules before asking questions about add-ons that concern video piracy.

No support will be given here to such banned Kodi add-ons.

There won't be for v17.6.

Searching fpr RPi+Netflix on this forum or the Kodi forum should give you plenty of reading material.

See the orange items here: hastebin

I have the pretty good idea that your setup is still containing a couple of remaining modules from banned add-ons. Removing repos and add-ons is one thing, removing their dependencies and/or modules is a bit tougher. Next time, familiarize yourself with our forum rules, and provide a clean setup next time you want support.

Personally I'd start with a clean setup when LibreELEC 9.0 comes out (soonish), and start adding only the official add-ons one by one to see who is the troublemaker.

I think it's a real shame that I haven't received an answer yet. Even a negative answer would at least be desirable.

Well, because it's pretty difficult for us or others to mimic your whole network setup. Apparently not everyone is having samba connect problems, otherwise there would be so many more complaints on this forum. There are so many possible variables in reproducing these delays.

If only Microsoft wasn't so damn casual with addressing and solving the SMB vulcano in the first place, things would have been a lot easier IMO.

BTW: ever tried NFS instead of SMB? There are NFS servers for Windows too.

If you were to re-update your add-on from the Kodi packages cache, wouldn't the same thing happen: passwords being overwritten?

AFAIK for mysql server, password encryption is a one-way street. If it were that easy, hackers would have a blast.

Only if you press the OK button, the new password values will be stored, otherwise the old/current ones will be used.

If the addon update auto-changes the new passwords, then there would be problem.
