I'm not gonna trust some 3rd party tool for "mission-critical" data.

I'm not that familiar with the startup.xml file. But it can be part of the skin, that way it would be located in the Estuary skin folder.
However, as Estuary is the system/default skin, it's better to copy the whole Estuary skin folder to the /storage/.kodi/addon folder and rename it to a different skin (incl inside its addon.xml file). Then you can easily edit the startup.xml file.

Not sure EXT4 is supported with Windows.
There is an option to have Windows 10 read from EXT4 partitions, but not write.
In the end, EXT4 is a Linux thing. Windows doesn't really support it.
If your Drobo was a proper NAS, its disk format wouldn't matter because all would be done via network protocols.
-
If I plug it into a linux PC I also have a storage volume but there's nothing useful there..
You got close... It's just that Macs as well as Windows machines are too dumb to handle EXT4 partitions.
If the startup.xml does not exist yet, then simply create it using nano or you're own favorite editor.

Have a try doing this: Play Video On A Loop

Drobo devices are mostly NASes. I never heard of a NAS using NTFS, certainly not for 64TB volumes.
Most NASes are running Linux/Unix software, so NTFS again would be a curious option.
EXT4 would be a safer option IMHO. And with NTFS, it doesn't sound like it will be using RAID or something.
I would hate to lose a 64TB data partition on my drives...

The EXT4 format has a maximum filesystem size of 1,000,000 TB and maximum file size of 16TB, and a theoretical limit of 4 billion files.
How many videos were you planning to store?

Any chance you have forgotten to enable the "Wait for network" option in the LibreELEC Settings Add-on? A 20 seconds timeout usually does it for Wifi.

I snipped the end
We prefer to have all the puzzle pieces to a problem, and not waste time/effort for having to ask for the full, unedited log file...

Kodi's repository works fine, so which repository are you referring to?
-
wasn't ment so! The Position means nothing!
I was only kidding, don't worry
-
I'm a bit sad that I was mentioned as last...
However, there are even more LE team people behind the scenes who have done, and are still doing, great work.

are there any news of 3d for pi4?
Nothing yet. The latest #0717 build from Milhouse did play the 3D video (which is an upgrade from LE 9.2.3 which crashed), but the display is still showing two images.
-
but I don't want to trash the whole setup which is significant.
There is such a thing as making backups.
A reboot loop on the RPi4... You sure you downloaded the correct image file?

how do I go to the terminal in LibreELEC?

...or are they just a series of tradeoffs?
There always are tradeoffs. x86 hardware can be faster and 'better', but it has a higher price tag.
Not all x86-64 hardware is equally performant. Nvidia drivers for Linux are a mess. AMD has potential, Intel is the safest bet for now.
The whole Android box scene is like the trees and woods metaphore to me.
Big X86 cores can probably brute force most things, but then we are talking heat and fan noise...
You don't want that, especially next to / under a TV. I have a J5005 Gemini Lake which seems to responds better overall with Kodi 19, so that's nice. I don't have HDR needs for now, so that makes it easy. The J5005 is passively cooled, and uses a fanless Pico PSU. Along with the SSD it is vewwy quiet.
Second reason for me to choose x86 is to have an Ubuntu desktop next to LibreELEC as a dual boot, which functions nicely as well.

Plug in the HDD in a USB30 port, reboot LibreELEC, and get us the output URLs of the following commands in a terminal session:
Codeblkid | pastebinit mount | pastebinit dmesg | pastebinitIt should show something.
-
First, what kind of HDD was attached: a 2.5" notebook drive or a 3.5" hard drive?
The latter requires more power, and is recommended to use an external power source.
The USB2 ports provide an average of 500 mW, USB3 can provide much more, but I don't know the details for a Rpi4.
